This is a bonus post from the #CheesieInKanagawa blog posts.

This Hello Kitty Cafe Restaurant is part of Yokohama’s experience, but it’s so awesome it deserves a separate blog post!

HKCR can be found in Motomachi, Yokohama.

I didn’t have a better and brighter photo because it was about 7pm when we visited the cafe. Before we came here, my local guide Iwate san told how it would be quite different from all the other Hello Kitty Cafes i’ve been to. I was so excited as this was the last stop before heading back to Haneda airport. And i am so so glad i made it there. read more

This post is on How to Get to Hakone! Did you know? (although i have already told you) Hakone is part of Kanagawa Prefecture, and is its best-known tourist destination.

#ButFirstLetMeTakeASelfie

Today’s coordinate. Accessories changed as it get a little colder, much colder, super freaking cold, etc.

This guide would be useful even for myself as i have never gone to Hakone by train before. The danna usually rents a car and he would drive up to the shrine, make our prayers and come back down. We stayed over in a ryokan once and lately i requested to go to Owakudani (the place with black egg!!), and it has never occurred me that there are so many other places to visit in Hakone. read more

After Misaki Maguro Day Trip in the morning, we took a train to Kamakura.

I have actually been to Kamakura two years ago in the summer, and also stopped by Zushi beach for Hanabi Taikai (Fireworks Festival). It’s really nice to come back again in a different season!

Kamakura is a traditional little town, many call it the Kyoto in Kanto area (Eastern Japan). So if you want to get a feel of olden Japan without traveling all the way to Kansai, you would love this lovely small city. read more

Junya turns 6 months today!

(Also read  first month , second month , third month and fourth month and fifth month here.)

The so called half-birthday.

A lot of families in Japan celebrate their baby’s half birthday, i didn’t know there’s such a thing, until someone told me it’s very likely created by photo studios and other similar companies to make more money out of the gimmick-gullible Japanese parents. Good move. XD

So here’s what happened in the past month! read more

On the second day of my Kanagawa trip, we went to Miura and Kamakura.

This post is a guide to Misaki Maguro Kippu. It literally means, the Misaki Tuna Ticket. Huh? Now what’s that about? Whatever it is, sounds delicious. 😛

Let’s see.

But first let me take a selfie 😛

(In the purest sense of the words lolol)

Coordinate of the day.

A ticket denim jacket because it’s gonna be a windy day!

Ok we can continue now.

Did you know? The train companies in Japan offer a lot of super value discount packages for day trips, and a lot of tourist may not know as they don’t usually advertise it in English. read more

To start off, let me give a brief introduction of my recent visit to Japan!

The tourism board of Kanagawa prefecture (神奈川県) has invited me over for a very short stay in Kanagawa so that i could tour around and explore the less discovered hidden gems and promote this part of Greater Tokyo Area. There are many famous cities that fall under the prefecture of Kanagawa, you may have heard and have even visited these cities, without knowing it is actually part of Kanagawa. read more

EMODA Update!

For the month of November, i ordered lots of stuff from Rockabilly Dolls! Initially i had two trips in October to Japan, so i thought it’s just nice for trench coats and light knit, but one got cancelled and one was postpone to Dec T___T.

But no matter! I ended up wearing them in KL anyway 😀

EMODA’s latest AW collection from EMODA Magazine:

Here are some of my autumn/winter coordinates!

So i have been following Libresse’s activities for a while now, and they have recently launched their new and improved features and also the introduction of two new superior products! If you have noticed, Libressed has a campaign called THE HUNT, it was a multiple-phase game hosted by Adibah Noor and Fahrin Ahmad, where finally the new products are unveiled.

Libresse constantly listens to consumer’s feedback, and they have further improved Libresse’s body contour design across all their product range to enhance absorption. All Libresse products are now equipped with the newly improved Deep Flow Channels (DFC), which incorporates a more compressed area at the back to keep fluid away from the skin for better dryness and new wider core for greater absorption. read more

Online shopping time! How incredibly convenient is the internet! Almost everything can be ordered from just a few taps on your iPhone nowadays.

And here are some of my recent online shopping haul!

MyPhotoTalk

So…. our second wedding anniversary is coming up! (24th Dec. The danna was so cunning he picked a date so convenient nobody will forget to be our wedding day lol.) We will be celebrating it in Japan, and before that i just wanted to have a small anniversary gift for the both of us… read more

Other than dannaben we do cook lunch & dinner at most most of the days now!

Here are some of the Cheat One™ meals in our house.

Meal 1

Vegetable cream stew (broccoli, shimeji mushroom, carrot and brussel sprouts with bacon),  Japanese pear and Yakult!

Meal 2

Yong tau fu. This is one of my favorite because it’s easy and can batch make a lot to keep for several meals. And also very low carb!

Meal 3

Quick pasta lunch.

Meal 4

Don’t know if you can even imagined this, but it’s a Danna Recipe! It’s called Tomato and Avocado Sashimi. Basically it is what it is: raw diced tomato and raw diced avocado (sashimi) with wasabi and soy sauce. It probably sounds very strange but it’s surprisingly very good! The avocado is rich, creamy akin that of fatty maguro or toro!! We also had a version with added tuna flakes. 😀 read more

Last post from my Japan trip in spring. I’m going again early December for work, back, then go again middle of Dec with family, and bringing Junya for the first time! ♡

So it was my last few days in Japan, and Genie danna has granted me one last wish. I didn’t know where to go so i asked him to just bring me anywhere!! He knows i love onsen, so we (read: he) drove 3 hours to Gunma prefecture to head to one of the Top 3 Hot Spring in Japan: Kusatsu.

Today’s coordinate.

It was nearing middle of April, and that was the hottest day i’ve experienced in that trip! read more
