Diet & Exercise: Italian

Do you know “Mikaduki” in Niigata? This is Italian fast-food restaurant originated from Niigata. At this restaurant in Niigata, thick Yakisoba noodles, cabbages, vegetables artificially grown in the shade and sauce are used in dishes. It’s is like fried noodle not spaghetti.

“Italian” is name of menu. However, you may think that “Italian” is not Italian foods. Of course, you are right! This is not Italian foods but foods like Italian.　On this page, there are Italian, curry-Italian, white-sauce Italian, shrimp-in-chili sauce Italian, Italian with bean curd sautéed with ground meat, chili pepper in a thick sauce and so on. The menu I recommend is “curry-Italian”.

Usually, Mikaduki is in SATY, APITA, JUSCO, PLANT5 and so on. Therefore when I went to supermarkets like them, I almost went to there. Every Saturday and Sunday, there are many families, children and couples. Mikaduki is very popular among people in Niigata.

“Italian” has a good point about cooking. In this page, there are points of attention about cooking homeland of pasta. However, when you cook “Italian”, you don’t need to attend these points like cooking genuine pasta. Unfortunately, “Italian” has a bad point, too. It is that “Italian” isn’t suitable for diet. The genuine pasta has suitable menu for diet.

If you want to diet, you should have genuine diet pasta, but, if you enjoyed “Italian”, you may have better go to Mikaduki!
