Back to the Origin!

It was about time! One month and few days without Italian food and finally i let it go. Above the goodies I bought with the sum of 3,000 Yen (35 Swiss Francs). 750 gr of pasta (3x250gr), 7dl of Extra virgin olive oil, one vase of "Pesto" and some pickles for Pasta salad.

I discussed with some people back in europe about the cost of living a few days ago. Here, compared to europe, local food is still cheaper...at least compared to switzerland. Of course Import goods like the above ones or import clothes, are very expensive. Is the same with asian food in switzerland.

Anyway, here a shot of the first italian dish :)

The taste was ok, but the pasta taste was strange. I don't know if it is the pasta type or the water i cooked the pasta in.

In japan, tab water has a strange taste. I think it is because of some substance in the water to kill germs or so. The taste is some kind of Chlorine, the one used in swimming pools. I'm not sure is the water, because i didn't feel it that strong when cooking rice (For rice, since the water is 100% absorbed by the rice, i normally used bottled water, but once, i've run out of water, so i used the tab water).

Anyway, i cooked and eaten 250gr of raw pasta in one shot...so i guess for a while... it should do ;)
