Comments on: Feed a cold http://www.champuru.net/blog/2008/01/26/feed-a-cold/ A pinch of this and a dash of that makes champuru a spicy dish.

I'm so hungry right now just thinking about it! <b>@Crissy:</b> According to the sign at Makino Chaya, the Wagyu beef is imported from Japan. If that's not true, I'll have to cry "false advertising!" Whatever the case, the beef was yummy and with the scallops (so tender!), it made it highlight of my dinner. The Japanese mushroom (forget the type, sounded obscure) was quite nice, too. Wow, $150 for a serving of Wagyu at Tokyo Tokyo!? I guess you're also paying for the ambiance over there. If you try it at Tokyo Tokyo, make a comparison with Makino Chaya and let me know if you think it's the real thing or not. @NEENZ: I’m with you! I’m so hungry right now just thinking about it!

Tokyo Tokyo says they are the only ones in Hawai‘i that have the real thing -- which, per the Wikipedia article, anyway, probably means that they are the only ones who actually import it from Japan, just as the only "real" champagne is from Champagne, France . . . But you say it was good, eh? I wouldn't pay $150 for the Wagyu at Tokyo Tokyo (though maybe I will try the significantly cheaper sushi portion when we go on Valentine's Day), but maybe I will try it at Makino Chaya?

Now I want chocolate covered anything and wagyu beef...and I don't even have a cold to feed! :) I thought it was “feed a cold, starve a hangover?” :) or is it just me?
