The doritos are nice. There's a whole bunch of new flavours out too like Southern Style Chicken. Nice too. I can't drink that pepsi sadly

Next time anyone's in Tokyo, there's a really little eatery right outside Akihabara station with phenomenally cheap and yummy food. For only 600JPY ($7) I got a "Mini Miso Katsu Don Set" which included:
+ Bowl of soba noodles cooked in miso soup - may be served hot or cold
+ Bowl of rice with a layer of lettuce and pork schnitzel cutlets on top with Tonkatsu sauce

I miss Smorgy's. Good back in the day for poor uni student. Add Sizzler to the list too.

Maccas is coming out with some interesting food concepts.

+ Chicken Big Mac (2 beef patties replaced with 2 Chicken ones)
+ Cheeseburger flavour shaker fries

Then there's the $1 Hamburger.

I'm thinking of ordering some Japanese chocolate and noodles from HLJ next time I ship an order.

Are the food brands that HLJ carries big brands like you would get at an equivalent of Coles or Woolworths or are they the type of brand you would get from a dollar store?

Also with the noodles I'm mildly allergic fish, is there some words I should look for on the noodles to avoid seafood?

I had no idea that they have food on there... being a "hobby" site and all.
Do they ship the food internationally though, because Amazon US don't.

(which is probably a good thing, as I'd go nuts on their confectionery, chips and cereals pages)

Can you get a link up? I can have a look for ya. Generally Meiji branded chocolate is like the cadbury of Japan. But if you slap a search link in there, I'll let ya know how it looks

I was looking at having some nibblies shipped across also.

On the other hand, I can't get enough of the Pepsi Max Vanilla... fortunately it looks like it might be a temporary flavour, as I'm developing an addiction to it.
(also fortunately for me, both the Coles and Woolies near me have trouble keeping it in stock, as I tend to grab a bottle (if on sale) any time I see it)

I bleed caffeine and Pepsi Max, but that Vanilla, man... Not a fan of that. I found it bordering on the sickly sweet level of regular soft drinks.

My mate used to order the Chicken Big Mac goin back 10 years when I was in high school/uni. Just told the staff what he wanted and away they went. He used to call it a Big McChicken :P
