Natto is not available in Israel.
We could find one guy who prepares them at home on demand, and charges a hefty price.
So, Mika decided she can ferment Natto by herself, which she did.

The return of the Paella
Finally, we could find decent Sea-Food to cook the Friday Paella.
Writing this post from Malaga, Andalusia. Hoping to eat as many paellas as possible this week.
Herbert Samuel restaurant in Tel Aviv
Yesterday, we visited “Herbert Samuel” restaurant in Tel Aviv. The location is a bit strange, it is not in the restaurant “heart” of Tel-Aviv. You need to actually drive there. (Unless you are staying in David Inter-Continental).
Started with a few Tapas Options: Anchovy, Squid with Beans and Tehina, Parma Prosciutt, and the wonderful bread. Very good dishes.
For main course we took: White Lasagna for me, Risotto for Mika. Again wonderful, though a bit heavy for our taste.
Highly recommended
Taipei restaurant – DinTaiFung
Just came back from a visit in DainTaiFung, a restaurant, or rather a chain of restaurants.
We had “just” 3 dishes for 3 people + 3 large beers:
Steamed pork dumplings – wonderful and juicy.
Steamed shrimp and pork dumplings – as wonderful
+ some fried rice.
Overall, highly recommended, and as it is on every guide, you can easily find it.
Bentou
My wife made o’bentou for our child.
On the menu: Fried Zucchini, Boiled carrot, Meat potato patty, Lichi.
Doesn’t it look gorgeous?
Nandakke Paella – 何だっけ パエリヤ
On Friday we bought 3 shrimp like, crab like creatures. They were still alive, so we couldn’t miss the opportunity of eating some fresh sea food.
Friday’s Paella is becoming a tasty custom. A short visit to Tiv Taam provides shell fish, shrimp, or whatever looks fresh and Mika cooks. Because I wasn’t sure we can cook them with the paella, we first boiled them and only then placed them on the rice (We have used the boiled water in the Paella, to preserve the juices).
Nandakke in Japanese means: “What is it?”
I couldn’t find the name of the creature we have bought. The receipt said: “Raka”, but still no information found in Google.
Hence the name: “Nandakke Paella”.
