Its been a while since I had some Oyakodon - tasted lovely. But the waitress had really bad BO...Oyakodon (親子丼, Oyakodon), literally "parent-and-child donburi", is a donburi, or Japanese rice bowl dish, in which chicken, egg, green onion, and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. The name of the dish, parent and child donburi, is a poetic reflection of the fact that both chicken and egg are used in the dish. In Japan, oyakodon is often served in soba restaurants and other traditional Japanese restaurants. The donburi simmering sauce varies according to season, ingredient, region, and taste. A typical sauce might consist of dashi flavored with shoyu and mirin. Proportions vary, but usually there is three to four times as much dashi as shoyu and mirin. For oyakodon, Tsuji (1980) recommends dashi flavored with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. To make oyakodon, cut chicken and other ingredients into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1/4 cup simmering sauce in a small frying pan. Add chicken (and sliced yellow onion, if desired) and simmer until chicken is cooked. Then add green onions and other ingredients. When all ingredients are cooked, slowly pour 1-2 lightly beaten eggs evenly over the whole dish. When eggs are nearly cooked (edges set), slide the topping from the pan onto hot cooked rice served in an oversized bowl. The hot rice will finish cooking the eggs. Several other Japanese dishes pun on the parent-and-child theme of oyakodon. Tanindon (他人丼, Tanindon), literally "stranger bowl", is otherwise identical but replaces the chicken with beef. A dish of salmon and roe served raw over rice is known as sake oyakodon (鮭親子丼, sake oyakodon).Oyakodon description from Wikipedia.

Bad BO? Are you sure the waitress wasn't a trap? I myself have had a run-in with waitresses that kind of made me lose my appetite. =x

Server BO. What a conundrum You want a refill on your drink, but dare you call her over in fear of the stench ?

Haven't had oyakodonburi for a few weeks... I hope there was some good air circulation in that shop ^^; or in the worst case just bring your face real close to the food and try to smell that instead. XD

Been craving that recently. Some people think the pun on the name is a bit distasteful but i personally think it's kinda amusing.
(ID #419617) Posted on 2008/12/21 02:38

heh, I japan (and east Asia?) they eat all kinds of rice/noodle bowl dishes. And in Europe we eat all kinds of pizza and kebab dishes. Actually just few hours ago I had a kebab baked inside the pita bread.

Hmm... I've never had that. It looks gooood. I must try that sometime... I hate it most when people are in a confined space, like a train, and someone comes in with horrible kim chi breath or BO.

I've had it where's it's beef instead of chicken. Well there probably was chicken too, but I prefer beef over chicken.
