Denny's for dinner

I think in all my life, I've been to Denny's only once during college and decided it was yucky. Then I was told that Denny's in Japan served better food, although I never tried it during my JET stay.

Well, there's a first for everything, and being starving and delirious helped me dragged hubby to a nearby Japanese Denny's for dinner. Again there are no pictures, but the pictures from Denny's website are pretty close to what the dishes actually look like.

I ordered:

- Chinese noodles (whatever, I felt like ramen, and the tiny ramen shop we walked by was completely full!) with a mini pork fried rice on the side.

- French onion soup: this one was heading in the right direction, but unfortunately lacked some flavor and was a bit on the bland side.

- Coffee jelly in milk drink (on the right): this was so good I swallowed the entire thing in a matter of seconds. Hubby wasn't too keen on the coffee jelly. He said the texture reminded him of slugs. Umm...as if slug tasted that good...

- Fresh peach and sorbet dessert: this one was the highlight of our meal with hubby's stamp of approval. In fact, he ate most of it! It had fresh cut white peach chunks with a scoop each of peach and kiwi sorbet in a very light jelly-like syrup with milk jelly. Yum!!!

Hubby ordered just a plate of spaghetti in meat sauce, which resulted in the waitress's oddly awkward smiles at me. The stereo typical expectation here is that women are supposed to eat much, much, MUCH less than men. Screw that.

In conclusion, perhaps I'll go to a real ramen shop next time, but I'd come back to Denny's for that fresh peach dessert, if they still serve it.
