In our last post, we’ve introduced the lunch of a healthy lady who is on carbohydrate restriction. And for this post, we are going to introduce the everyday lunch of an OL who is a big meat and carbohydrate lover! Her lunch is always so generous. But you will be surprised that the meals are within 1,000-yen budget. Now, let’s see how she plans her lunch.
Monday is pork steak!
There is a restaurant near my office where I really enjoy its lunch meals. I visit it about 3 times in a week. The signature dish is beef harami steak but I want to recommend its pork steak. The very rich ginger sauce and the coleslaw are the best! These match rice very well so I always order the up-size rice that comes free with the set meal. Such a filling meal and it costs only 980 yen. Happy ~
Tuesday – same restaurant but chicken rice this time
The large portion of grilled chicken is also highly recommended. This is from lunch menu of the same restaurant that I go on Monday, and as always, it costs 980 yen. Today I went with my colleague. Both of us were a bit late and were very hungry, so we also shared a side dish – the curry recommended by the restaurant. Because the rice is free for up-size, I had the big bowl to eat with curry!
Wednesday – same shop again but this time is hamburger
I visit this restaurant like it is the company’s canteen. Specialized in meat, this restaurant has a variety of meat menu and different kinds of seasoning and that’s why I am never bored of its food. It is close to my office and it is stylish and cozy. And of course, the food is so delicious!
So, for the 3rd continuous day I visited for lunch. This time I had the stewed hamburger. It is slight pricey at 1380 yen but I was totally satisfied.
Thursday – a little further to the burger shop that is a topic now
As I also like big size hamburger, I went to the pub which is about 7-minute walk from my office. It serves hamburger set meals during lunch hour. The burger comes with a lot of french fries and drink such as coke or iced coffee at 1000 yen. There is a burger chain restaurant nearby, but I prefer shops with calm atmosphere. Even it is just lunch hour, I wanted to have an elegant time.
Friday – meat to close the week!
It is a restaurant that serves craft beers at night. I want to recommend their curry, which uses beef that is slowly stewed with beer until tender, and cooked with vegetables and curry spices. The beef and vegetable are very soft and almost melt in the soup. The rich-flavored soup is so well matched with rice, and it feels like I can’t get enough of it!
The meal comes in set with salad, soup, and one glass of drink at 980 yen. Quite reasonable, isn’t it?
For this week, again I have had nice lunches ~
