delivery.com & Japanese food
Last night I wanted sushi and didn’t want to leave the house. I went to delivery.com, setup and account in a minute, and had sushi at my place in 45 minutes from Kyoto @ 2534 N. Lincoln.
I heard about it from Madge Weinstein’s show and I think I’m now addicted. There appears to be quite a few promising Indian restaurants that deliver to Lakeview, and I intend to try them all.
Kyoto brought me two maki rolls, one of sour plum and cucumber, the other of crab, eel, and something fried, and an order of oyakodon, one of my FAVORITE Japanese dishes. It also has an interesting name:
親子丼 (おやこどん) Oyakodon
親 (おや) Oya means “parent”
子 (こ) Ko means “child”
丼 (どん) Don means “bowl of food”
Oyakodon is chicken slices cooked with egg and served over a bowl of rice. Parent and child over a bowl of food. In Japan where I first had it, they deep fried a breast of chicken, immediately placed the hot sizzling chicken over a bowl of cooked rice, and poured a beaten egg over it. The egg cooks as it coats everything.
Katsudon (カツ丼) is a variation where they fry a piece of pork and give it the same treatment. The name isn’t as fun as oyakodon, but it’s just as tasty.
美味しいよ! Oishii! Delicious!
