Autumn Part 2 and Part 1, and Summer Part 3  Part 2 and Part 1, Spring is here.

Not taking any responsibility for your appetite after these posts.

Start.

So we are back in Japan after what felt like centuries!!! My pregnancy nausea was so bad that i was secretly worried that the whole world will crumble as i no longer can enjoy all my fav food in Japan.

But… it is Japan after all.

The danna asked what i wanted to eat for the first meal. It took me forever to answer. How to decide!!! I want EVERYTHING! So he drove us straight to Tsukiji Fish Market after we landed in Narita early in the morning. read more

On our first anniversary, the danna took two days off so we could have a little retreat away from all the chaos in the city. Tokyo is crowded beyond belief during year end and a toilet visit in departmental store may take up to 20 minutes depending on the queue.

We took a 2 hour drive to Gotenba (御殿場 at Shizuoka), famous for its Gotenba Premium Outlet, where all the  overseas group tours like to include in their itinerary. Shopping is one thing, but our main business here is to eat sushi lol. read more

I’m back to Japan!!

I have no idea why but each year i come back it gets even colder. This December is so cold  i cannot wear anything less than 2 layers of Uniqlo heat tech, a sweater and the thickest down in the closet. At the rate the climate is fucking us up like this, 5 years later Malaysia will start snowing.

From the plane at the airport. Was raining 6am in the morning T___T

My moko moko Daiso socks.

Selection of outers in our closet. We are forever wearing only our respective warmest one. read more

Tokyo food post continues 😀

Uoriki Fish Restaurant

This is my fav fish shop in Shibuya!

In the afternoon they serve grilled fish set meal, and night time is sashimi set!

You pick the set meal tags you want from the wall, and bring it upstairs with you!

And it is craaaazy value for money! For 1000 yen (RM30+) you get fresh fish (in this picture it is Tuna Karaage), unlimited rice, unlimited hijiki (black seaweed thing) unlimited clam miso soup, unlimited tea, and a small starter.

But seems like there are more items in this pic? read more

I cannot stress enough how much i love oden!!!

The day i arrived in Japan (end of September) was also the day the convenient stores started to introduce Oden again, due to the sudden weather change!

And then Family Mart was having an Oden sales!!!! All items only 70 yen!

Among all convenient stores, I love Family Mart the most (and Lawson, because they have the most variety of stuff), because it just has the best oden.

And also, IT GIVES YOU FREE FOOD.

I bought a drink from Family Mart and at the cashier, the shop staff smiley-ly asked, “would you like some free nugget?” read more

So on the third day of our Yakult media trip to Japan, i get to be a…. Yakult Lady.

What is a Yakult Lady?

A Yakult Lady is a woman who delivers Yakult products to customers’ homes by push carts, bicycles, motorcycles or cars. There are more than 40,000 Yakult Ladies in Japan, and over 2500 centers.

Did you know that there are also Yakult Ladies in Malaysia? I didn’t! I was very surprised to learn about that.

Little did i know, Yakult Lady is actually one of the most important part about Yakult. They sell more Yakult through Yakult Ladies throughout Japan than they do in the supermarkets. Impressive! read more
