			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is Sunday! My only day off and I got a major headache from sleeping 10hrs+ ! LoL well that didn&#8217;t stop me from driving to Morioka-Minami, a place 30+mins drive away (61km)</p>
<p>I was craving for shabu-shabu and where is the best place in Iwate? That would be Jyu Jyu, they have another branch in Aeon, Izumi, Sendai</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fun to dine there because you cook it yourself and tastes yummy! Service is friendly and fast!</p>
<p>You have a selection of beef, pork, veggies!<br />
Choose 2 from 4 soup base &#8211; Tonkatsu Pork Bones, Spicy Szechuan, Seaweed and Tofu<br />
We chose Tonkatsu &#8211; because the soup is really tasty, and Spicy Szechuan for that Chinese steamboat-ness haha<br />
Includes drink bar too (all you can drink)<br />
Mmm my favourite Bak Choy! LoL they are expensive in the supermarkets here</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can opt for Sukiyaki! Prices are 1500yen (1575yen taxed) for 90mins all you can eat from when you start! After 5pm is about 2000yen for 120mins</p>

A place for the young and old to enjoy&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Peepin Dog" src="http://photospeaks.com/photo/peepindog.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="700" /><br />
Not to forget them animals too! A cute dog enjoying the live music and its atmosphere</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Dimitris Souvlaki" src="http://photospeaks.com/photo/souvos.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="700" /><br />
Nationwide renowned best Souvlakis !<br />
This is Dimitris Greek Food on Colombo Street (at the moment they are no longer on Colombo Street, thanks to a bank taking over the location, so they are still to re-open somewhere), you can find them on Saturdays and Sundays at the Arts Centre from 10am onwards, meanwhile this is the only place to get them! Usually gets busy around late noon 2-3pm, but worth the wait and they are fast too!<br />
Dimitri&#8217;s souvlaki contains generous chunks of tender meat of your choice (beef,lamb or chicken) with juicy sliced lettuce, diced cucumbers, drizzled with tzatziki sauce and their home-made tomato sauce. I personally like Chicken + mild chili mmm&#8230;. just superb! So what are you waiting for?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Viva Madrid Churros" src="http://photospeaks.com/photo/vmchurros.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" /><br />
Viva Madrid Churros once again (: 15 pieces for NZD9<br />
A tasty treat each and every time</p>
