摆渡修行I didn't expect that there is such a small house in Ikebukuro where there are many high-rise buildings. Wooden door, lattice windows, and thick furry tablecloths. The owners are a very kind couple. Because there is only room for one or two small tables on the first floor, we occupied the entire second floor. When the owner disappeared at the end of the stairs, we laughed and said, "It looks like grandma's house in a fairy tale." Touching the white gauze curtains, and then touching the floral tablecloth, unfolding it and wrapping it around my waist, I felt like the hostess of Tom Cat. The whole meal was like a sumptuous dinner in a fairy tale, with red, yellow, and white colors. There were red cherry tomatoes, sweet and sour prawns, and bell peppers. There was yellow olive oil, charred potato cakes, and spaghetti with meat sauce. There were white fresh cheese, fried scallops, and fluffy white bread. In short, it was soft and warm just by looking at it. Even the buns were hot. Help, how come her focaccia is so delicious, delicate and sweet, I kept eating the bread during the whole meal, and expected every dish to be soaked in the soup. The potato cakes are delicious. They are potato cakes with a little blue cheese. I don’t hate blue cheese, and the cheese is fragrant and soft. After frying, the crust is crispy, the cheese is fragrant, the potatoes are sweet and sticky, and the salty, charred and crispy cheese is the best seasoning. My friend poked me: "The beef is delicious." The steak is delicious, not the kind of high-end steak that is aged at low temperature, red inside, soft and plump. Instead, it is a piece of home-made steak with even fat and lean meat, fried until it sizzles and oozes oil, and the Maillard reaction occurs. It tastes crispy and well-cooked, with real meat aroma and fat aroma. It is not the most delicious, but a very appropriate and homely meal. After dinner, I ate a small cake and drank hot tea in a transparent glass. It felt a little unreal. Ah, am I in Ikebukuro? This is really not a cabin in the forest.
