00:00 Next time you're in Kubao, look for this quaint Japanese mart that hides a little restaurant on its second floor.
00:05 Shin Mikana is your typical Japanese goods store but follow the signs up to a dining area for a hearty meal.
00:11 Up the stairs is a cozy eatery that serves up meals with a homemade touch.
00:15 Best part is you can eat in peace and quiet while watching the busy streets of Kubao below.
00:19 Beat the heat with the sweet cooler of a melon soda float, just what you need after running all those errands.
00:25 The gyoza's filling here tastes handmade with none of those fillers and the katsu chicken curry is one hell of a belly buster.
00:32 Munch on a steaming hot chicken cutlet, some bits crispy fried and other bits soaked in a thick and flavorful curry sauce all over a big heap of Japanese rice.
00:40 Don't miss out on the gyudon either.
00:42 A hefty rice bowl with tender beef strips and a not-too-sweet sauce mix in that golden yolk for deeper flavors.
00:48 And when you're full and content, take some time to gaze out the window.
00:51 You never know who you'll see.
00:53 Bye for now, kitty.
