What? Chicken sauce noodle bento
When/Where? 11:30 at night, my house
Comments: Ate this with a Yebisu big can beer. (240YEN?) Before I bought this one, a foreigner in front of me was angry that he was charged the wrong price but he couldnt explain it so he was just pointing at the receipt with an angry look. Eventually the clerk got it, and gave him the 20yen the foreigner was demanding. A lot of effort for 20 yen. This bento was a more "Western" style bento. Nice chicken, the meat was soft and tender, the sauce was tangy and kind of thick. There wasn't enough noodles though, and they were really greesy (but maybe they were supposed to be) and the veggies tasted like they were from a can (which I guess they were)... if you skipped the veggies and noodles, this was a good bento. As a last thought, it's a little sad when your beer is more than half the cost of your dinner! Bento was 380YEN.
