Thai Food restaurant!

Sawasdee!!

I went to the Thai food restaurant, TINUN.

It located in the su-k Kaihin makuhari 3F.
(the building in front of Kaihin-makuhari station)

You can feel original booth of Thailand:)

At first, I was confused with the open space.

I felt passing very slow time...

But I could be relaxed soonly!

Here is not Japanese restaurant,

so please enjoy this unique atmosphere!

I rdered  Fresh Spring Roll.

It tasted fresh and spicy, dipping in hot souce was so good!

This drink is a Litichi juice.

  

 

This is a Fried Rice Noodle.

( Japanese say "yaki bi-hun")

Most of Thai food are spicy and hot,

but this souce is very mild.

If you are not good at spicy dish, I recommend this.

On this plate, there are including　tofu, eggs, shrimps, beansprouts...and so on.

The left of looks powder is crushed nut.

Last one  was called Graprao.

Stir-fried Spicy Minced Chicken
      with Basil on Rice topped with Fried Egg.

The dish is familir with Japanese taste, I think.
It is like very spicy "soboro" rice.


They were so spicy but good taste.
I learned Japanese dishes are mild and used suger, but these one are adding many kinds of spices and promote our appetite.

Plese enjoy Thai Foods!

How do the Astronauts eat foods?
What kind of food can eat in space??


 NASA has about 200 to 300 kinds of space foods.

but,

Space foods are in plastic containers.

Some of them can eat by adding water, or be heated in the oven.

According to JAXA,

There are Some rules of space food.

*do not happen dangerous factor when eating


Of course, the food menus are controlled the balance nutrients and calories,
But the astronaut's favorite is also fully considered.
Because
mealtime is one of the few times for busy astronauts to relax!!
