Chicken And Egg Rice Bowl
Parent And Child Rice Bowl, Oyako-Don
noun
This very common food is parent and child rice bowl, aka a parent and child rice bowl. The parent is a chicken. The child is an egg. This can also be called chicken and egg rice bowl, or simply oyako-don.
This is 親子 (おやこ) plus 丼, and all three kanji use their kun'yomi readings. The full name is おやこどんぶり, but people usually say おやこどん for short. You learned the full どんぶり reading with the vocab word 丼, but here's a refresher:
When you want to make a chicken and egg rice bowl, you have to ask Don Brie (どんぶり) for the rice bowl. He's the mafia boss who hoards all the rice bowls to eat his cheese out of — remember him? Don't get on Don Brie's bad side, or no oyako-don for you!
親子丼ほど美味しいものはない。
There's nothing more delicious than a chicken and egg rice bowl.
個人的には親子丼よりも他人丼の方が好きなんです。
Personally, I like tanin-don more than oyako-don.
