Walking on the busy streets of Yokohama, under the sun's scorching heat drained our energy and stirred the butterflies in our bellies. We stopped at Chinatown for a good lunch and sightseeing. But, as we walked around the town, the streets were lined with so many restaurant choices that deciding where to eat was no joke! After 30-minutes we chose Manpaku (Full Stomach) Daihanten Restaurant. As we entered the glass doors, the butterflies in my tummy were uncontrollable. Nevertheless, they were comforted with an array of food choices. We indulged in authentic Chinese food. Indeed, Chinatown was a comfort to three hungry travelers, despite the long minutes of restaurant-hunting.
