This is my favourite vending machine in the world. It's located on the third floor of the Port Hotel, Narita, Tokyo, Japan.
I will always buy something from this machine when I'm staying at the hotel. My favourites are the Chicken Nuggets (third picture) and the Fried Noodles. The French Fries and the Fried Rice are nice too. They cost about Y$400-450 each, approximately S$6.50. Definitely not the cheapest fast food but it's the novelty of having delicious, hot food pop out from a vending machine. The boxes even come with cutlery - spoons for the rice and chopsticks for the noodles. A packet of salt with the fries. They thought of everything.
There used to have labels in English for the various selections and I always wondered before, why no one ever told the hotel or vendor that HOT DOG is not spelled HOT DOCK, although that is the way the Japanese pronounce it. The labels have now been removed, after ten years? I guess someone finally noticed the blooper!
Notice the banner - "Casual Frozen Foods". I know my nuggets don't come on Noritake Bone China plates but what does Casual Frozen Foods even mean??
