Festivals in Tokyo/ unas fiestas en Tokio

As I wrote many times in this blog, we can taste many kinds of food in Tokyo. Yes, we are luckey! Not only in restaurantes, but also in festivals!
Last weekend two festivals were hold.
One in Vietnam festival in Yoyogi park , Tokyo, and the other one is Mexican festivai in Odaiba , Tokyo.

I went Vietnam festival on Saturday , and Mexican festival on Sunday. Both were interesting , they sold thier typical foods, and showed some cultural aspect like dancing , singing and so on.

I just show you some photos.

Como escribí unas veces en esta página, podemos encontlar diferentes sabores en Tokio. Sí, ¡tenemos suerte! Hay muchas fiestas aquí.
El fin de semana pasado hubo dos fiestas en Tokio. Una fue la fiesta vietnamita en el parque Yoyogi , y la otra fue la fiesta mexicana en Odaiba.

Fui a la fiesta vietnamita el sábado, y a la fiesta mexicana el domingo. Me interesaron ambas. Se vende la comida tipica, y puede divertirme el baile o la musica. Aquí unas fotos!!


【Vietnam Festival/La fiesta vietnamita】
Only I had a few time, quickely I bought some food and ate. But it was so nice. Recently I am a bit crazy of eating vietnamies food!!! I really like it! There many women put on their nacional costume called "ao dai (áo dài)". They were so beautiful. One of my friends is going to Vietnam for her vacation. Lucky her!!

Sólo tuve un poco de tiempo , compré y comí la comida de prisa , pero estaba muy delicioso . Últimamente estoy loca por la comida vietnamita. Me encanta.
Vi unas mujeres vestidas con la ropa nacional que se llama "ao dai (áo dài)". Ellas son muy bonitas. Una amiga mía va a viajar a Vietnam de vacaciónes. ¡Qué envidia!


Spring Roll!/Rollito de primavera!



So many people!/Mucha gente!




【Mexican Festival/La fiesta mexicana】

I can't eat spicy food, so it made me a bit difficult when I went to Mexico, but the Mexican people were always nice to me. That's one of the fascinating point of them. Listing music like Mariachi reminds me of my mexican friends!
Well, unfortunately the day I went , it was heavy raining, but still I could enjoyed a lot!

No puedo comer algo picante. Cuando estaba en México de vacaciones, fue un poco duro para mi.
Pero los mexicanos eran muy amarbles, creo que esto es una fascinante de esta páis. Escuchando la musica en la fiesta ,recordé a mis amigos mexicanos. Lo pasé muy bien , aunque llovía mucho.


Tacos, please , but without spicy sause!!! PLEASE!
Un tacos , por favor ,pero sin salsa, POR favor.




I can't wait!!!/No puedo esperarlo.



Mariach!!

Buenas tardes, Kazumi-san.

Thank you for the post about Vietnamese and Spanish festival.
Spicy food , hmm.. I remember when I visited Quintana Roo , near Yucatan, our guide was always pointing out " This is hot, this is very hot" meaning "this will burn now, this one will burn till tomorrow", haha!

Most people think Mexican food is always spicy , but my Mexican Cookbook states " only half the traditional dishes are spicy, the other are not ". It is true but still my eyes start to water just reading some of the recipes.

It's been a while since I cooked Mexican food, I am so completely into cooking Japanese these last few years.( reading your blogs always makes me hungry, Kazumi-san! So many about food :)
Keep them coming, I love them.

Anyway, if you want to try mexican cooking, try http://mexicanfood.about.com/
And if you handle chili peppers in the kitchen, don't EVER TOUCH your eyes with your hands! And use soap to clean everything , it will break down the acid that makes chili peppers so hot(Learned that the hard way ;( )
Bye!

Those festivals look great! I miss all of the wonderful festivals in Japan! Here on Guam we have village fiestas frequently, but not large food fairs like in Japan.

On Guam there are very spicy peppers that people call 'boonie peppers', they are really small but have so much spice! They are often used in island signature dishes like keleguen and finadene sauce.
