Yesterday was another cold day. I was in a hurry for lunch, so the right place once again was BLUE BOOKS cafe in Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City!
i needed something filling, balanced, tasty and healthy.
There was a new feature on the menu that fit my wish:
Roquette Salad, Mortadella and Fuji no Kuni Pork Rillettes Panini, an American-Italian dish made with local products!
For 200 yen extra they also proposed a green smoothie! Perfect!
Alright what did we have there?
Onion rings!
Very hot vegetable gratin!
Carotte rape/shredded carrot salad!
The panini with so many fillings!
From another angle!
Very tasty Shizuoka-bred pork rillettes, a great combination with the mortadella soft ham, the cheese and roquettes!
The green smoothie!
Really tasty and healthy!
And a salad as usual for superb balance!
To be continued,… You bet!
