I went for my weekly lunch at BLUE BOOKS cafe in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, as I know that they change half of the lunch menu every week.
I must admit I’m almost in an American gastronomy these days!
Barring some typos (LOL), I ordered the jerked chicken served with rice cooked with coconut milk and beans!

Even the movie was a bit jerky! LOL

SN3O5402

Quite a big lunch as it included one drink!

SN3O5406

I found the approach very healthy with grilled chicken rice, vegetables and bread!

SN3O5407

The rice was really tasty and new to me!

SN3O5403

Ceasar salad as usual with Shizuoka-grown vegetables!

SN3O5404

A special mark for the carrot bread/pound cake!

And plenty of lemon tea to wash it all down!
I actually had recommended to my neighbor who was new to the place. When she saw it she said “too big!” in English.
She opted for a hamburger. Only then she understood what “big”meant! LOL

See you there again next week?
