Real Life Comic: Food (2)  

Our monthly cartoon series continues its food theme. The dining pleasures of ‘V-city’ include dishes from China, from India, Italy, Greece, and any number of other places – even Japan. Now, back in Fukuoka, what do we miss the most? It has a lot to do with lamb, and dumplings.
