[Golden Week] Breakfast at Saizeriya
Originally uploaded by scion_cho

I seldom eat outside (at fastfoods/restaurants) since we have subsidized food at our client company's canteen. Set meals there are great and costs relatively cheap at an average of 480yen (Php200) per meal. Regular bento meals (commercialized packed lunch) costs around the same, but at least food at the canteen are healthier and more complete -- rice, miso soup and a healthy viand (sometimes with side dishes too).

At home, we always do the cooking (for dinner and on weekends); thus saving a lot more money. Eating out usually costs around at least 1000yen (~Php420), and that only happens when I go outside on weekends. Japanese fastfoods/restaurants are no longer limited to washoku (traditional Japanese food), as Western-style cooking is already available on the menu. Like that of Saizeriya's meals depicted on the picture above.
