I’m always thinking of something every time go to a restaurant.

It is “I need picture of the meals”.

Haven’t you ever thought of this?

🍣

Australia is a multi culture country, so we have lots of chance to have many countries food.

On the other hand, having different country’s food is kind of challenging.

Sometime you have no idea what it is.

You may have completely unexpected taste food or ingredients.

In that case, at least you need to know what does it look like, don’t you?

Thereby you could make minimum expect at the point of order.

In Japan, let people know what does it look like is very important strategy of business.

So there are so many pictures on the menu.

As a customer, it makes me so relief and feel safe to order the thing.

This is the menus look like in Japan.

As well as getting information, it makes me more hungry!

However, I have hardly ever seen the menu has got pictures in the Western countries I’ve ever been.

Like this….

Is this a novel or something?💦

Especially when I was really hungry and feeling tired, I don’t want to read these up.

Should be fine for obvious meal such as spaghetti carbonara, pepperoni pizza or T-born steak, but something new….

You have no idea until it is actually brought in to your table.

and there is many chance you could get disappointed the meal.😓

What if you were really hungry when you get the unexpected meal?

Maybe you would say

「ITTEKIMASU」

「いってきます」

This is another greeting word, Western countries don’t use.

Meaning is “I’m leaving and coming back”.

When you are leaving from the place you are going back, you would say this word.

People usually say when they head off to work or school in the morning.

It is definitely not the word for people just out of jail.😨
