Our first food error in Japan

We took the train down to Chinatown in Yokohama for the day/night for a look about.


What a cool place and so many good looking places to eat. At the time we arrived there was a Chinese dancing dragon doing the rounds of the restaurants for goodluck/tourists etc. But we got kind of distracted from the job in hand, finding a good restaurant.




Here, the parade with firecrackers and the dancing dragon, is visiting a restaurant that we probably should have.





And even more good looking tasty restaurants we didn't stop at.....





But we got overly engrossed in sightseeing and once the real hunger pangs hit we went in the nearest place and ordered Peking Duck in Pancakes. Can't go wrong yeah? Wrong!


 Well this is what we got, pre-sauced shredded duck in rubbery wrappers, more like fresh Vietnamese Spring Roll wrappers. Inside Steam Buns that were pretty non-descript.




Also this restaurant had a Chinese dancing dragon visit it, briefly, to wait for the lift to visit a better restaurant upstairs. I think the restaurant upstairs may have been the one that had the outdoor street display that lead us in here in the first place. Ah well... it was overpriced and shit, but we weren't there for long and we didn't order anything after the first offering anyway, so it wasn't bad really.
