昨日はランチの前にコベントガーデンにある日本のパン屋さん「Wa」でパンを買いました。

Yesterday, before we had lunch, we went to a Japanese Bakery, “Wa”, and bought some bread.

 

 

 

 

これだけ買いました。食パン（２分の１斤）、カレーパン２つ、あんぱん２つ、焼きそばパン１つ、チキンカツサンド。全部で28ポンド（５５２５円）。

These are the breads we bought – Shokupan (1/2), 2 curry breads, 2 breads with bean paste filling, 1 yakisoba bread & Chicken Katsu sandwiches – £28 altogether.

 

 

昨日の夕食。チキンカツサンドとカレーパンと焼きそばパン。実は焼きそばパンはこれまでの人生で多分１度買って食べてみただけで、今回２度目なのですが、普通はホットドックみたいに長細いパンの真ん中に切り目を入れてそこに焼きそば挟んでありませんか？これは、中に入っていました。そして、すっかり忘れていたのが鰹節。いつも外で焼きそばやお好み焼きを食べる時はなしでお願いするのです。魚臭くて、残念（これはわたしの事情ですが、夫も魚臭いと言っていました。）カレーパンは、申し訳程度にパン粉がついていて普通に焼いたもので、思い描いていたものとは全く違い残念。ですが、チキンカツサンドはとても美味しかったですし、あんぱんは今日おやつにいただきましたが美味しかったです。ロンドンは色々あっていいな〜と思います。

These are what we had for a supper yesterday – Chicken Katsu sandwich, curry bread & yakisoba-bread.  This is, I think, the 2nd yakisoba-bread in my life because I’m not that fond of it, although it is very popular in Japan.  It wasn’t what I expected, though.  Usually it’s a hot dog bun with a slit in the middle filled with yakisoba, but this one had yakisoba as a filling inside.  The problem was I totally forgot that it usually also has dried fish flakes and tastes a bit fishy and I couldn’t enjoy it.  Even my husband said it was a bit fishy.  This is my problem, not theirs.  Curry bread was also different, usually it’s breaded and deep-fried but this was baked and there was only a little bit of breadcrumbs on top, so it didn’t seem as good as I expected.  Chicken katsu sandwich was delicious, though, very different from what you get from some supermarkets here.  For one, there is no curry flavour, there should not be.  The chicken cutlet is moist and thick and vegetables were crunchy and the bread is fluffy and thick.  I do wish we lived much closer to London.
