My parents also didn’t 100% agree when I decided to quit my job, so she could easily use that moment to lecture me. But that day she knows exactly what I need to hear instead of what she probably wanted to say. Instead of saying things that she thinks was best for me, she comforted me in the way that she knew I needed.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

It's hard enough to go through life without being criticized, so please always be kind and considerate.

Hubs and I have different characters. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm a pessimist, he's an optimist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm introvert, he's ambivert. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Occasional solitude is important for me, not to him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I like to try new places, while he is loyal to his favorites. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love books, he hates reading.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And these are just half of them... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are different, but we do our best to make it work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We respect our differences, because we understand everyone is born different. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't force people to change into someone they're not. If one day they decided to change, let it be on their own terms, for their own benefit, not yours. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always believe that mutual understanding is the basic foundation in any kind of relationships. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The
reason why I am a believer in listening to our inner voice starts from this
chapter of my life...</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
It
was 2005. Couple months after I graduated from college, I was still jobless. I majored
in Accounting, yet I suck at numbers. Well, probably not suck, but the idea of
working in a field relating to numbers has never been my interest. So, why
choose accounting, you were wondering? I’m not sure, I was 17 when I graduated
from high school, not really know what my interest are, at that time,
Accounting seems to be a safe choice. Something that I regretted now, because
dear... Always find something you passionate in. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Anyway,
I was jobless for months because I have no idea on what I wanted to do in my
life. I looked for job applications on daily basis, I applied to some, went for interview and got several call
backs, but I never went to any of them. Simply
because I was so sure that it wasn’t the job that I wanted. I was probably
applying just to see if it would have been mine if I wanted to, or something
like that. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<i>It wasn't a good year. I was clueless, lonely and lost. </i><br />
<br />
At that same year, my best friend was studying in Beijing, taking a one year Mandarin course. Not
sure on how my future should be, I decided to follow her. It didn’t take long to get my parents’ permission because improving my
Mandarin has always been something they wanted me to do.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
If you’re staying at
North, you’d probably know an institution named “Cerdas Bangsa” in Mega Mall (Now, Pluit Village). They cooperated with one of the school in Beijing
for students in Indonesia who wants to study there. It was all a quick and
smooth process, I had filled out all the forms needed, I had contacted my
best friend to help me take care of the dorms I’d be staying at in Beijing, My parents had even paid a small down payment. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
About
a week before we’d have to pay for the full payment, I saw a job application in
Jobsdb.com. It was a Singaporean company expanding their office to open in
Jakarta, and was looking for a Personal Assistant for their Country Manager. It
was a health and skin care company, which I have no strong knowledge of, let
alone skill on being a personal assistant. I didn’t even know what a personal
assistant’s job desk was, yet somehow I clicked on the send my application
button to that company. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Three
days later, someone from the company called me for an interview. The person who interviewed me was the one who is
in charge for Jakarta office. It was a short interview. When I reached home,
I got a call for second interview the next day. This time, it was with someone from Singapore, the headquarter. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
next two days after my second interview was the deadline to submit full
payment for the school, otherwise I would have to wait for the next semester
six months later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I was in complete dilemma. I had to
decide quick since the deadline for the school application was on that day, yet I
didn’t know for sure if I would get the job. Honestly, I didn’t even know if I
really wanted that job over on choosing to go study. But, my gut keep
telling me to stay. It wasn’t a logic decision at all, it was purely following
what my heart says, and it told me to stay. Without knowing if I was even going
to get hired or not, I forfeited my school application. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><b>The exact next day, late afternoon, I
received a call. I was hired. And that job changes my life.</b> </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I joined the company on February 2006. I started as a personal assistant
for Country Manager, a very very wise man who I’ll be forever consider as my mentor. I evolved from someone who didn't have a clue on how to write a good meeting minutes, learned so much, worked my ass off until I was trusted as their Network Development Manager. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Now I no longer work in the company, but leaving them is still one of the hardest decision
I’ve ever made. To date,
I am still damn thankful to ever worked there. I met hundreds of great people,
learned so many priceless things, I am so sure that I won’t be the same person as
I am today if I hadn't been working there. My character<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was built during my six years in the company. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Frankly, I
wouldn’t know if things would turn out to be better for me if at that time I
chose to ignore my gut and went for study instead. I mean... it was a 50:50 shot,
no one would know. It could probably work out better, but one thing that I know
is I didn’t and never regret my decision. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Aside
from all the wonderful lessons I got, following my gut, by
choosing to stay has brought me to meet one of the most important person in my life.<br />
Just two weeks after I started
working there, my school mate contacted me, he happened to work just three
buildings away from my office, and he asked me out to lunch, he told me that he
wanted to introduce me to his colleague. We went out for lunch, me, my school
mate and his colleague... The man I know called my husband.:)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Around
a year after we dated, my school mate told me that he had no intention on
introducing me to Hubs if I wasn’t happened to be working at the office three buildings away
from them. One of my closest colleague in the company is now my sister in law.
Two strangers now become my family, just because I was working in that company. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
I believe there
are plenty of decisions we have to made in life that should be logically
decide, but sometimes when your heart strongly tells you something way
different from your logic, it is probably best to take a second and not shush them
away, because your inner voice is who you really are. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

I wasn't plan to write a review on Tucano's at first, because I didn't take my camera during our dinner, but I've received quite many message on instagram asking me to blog this after I post them on my Insta-story. Hence, I decided to do it, but warning ahead, all the pictures taken with Iphone only and they weren't good ones, since I initially took them only for Insta-stories purposes. </div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if now is a common scene to see people taking picture before or during their meal, I personally never feel comfortable to bring out my camera and taking multiple shots at the food or the restaurant interior when the place is crowded. That's why during my time when I was still high on food hunting, I always choose to go to the place I wanted to review on weekdays and not during lunch or dinner time where there are lesser crowds.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pavilion apartment recently comes with few new establishments, from all day brunch KLTR Coffee, Japanese Hokkaido Izakaya and Tucano's, an all you can eat Brazillian BBQ.

I made a reservation for a dinner date on Saturday night, and I'm glad that I made a reservation in advance, because the place was full house. </div>

So, Tucano's is a Churrasco all you can eat place with unique presentation where unlike other all you can eat places, this one serves the food to your table. Well, no exactly all the food. They have a buffet table with salad, pasta and dessert in the center where you can freely dig in yourself, but for their star, the grilled meat, they will serve them to your table. Churrasco is a term for barbecue originated from Southern Brazil. It uses variety of meats that can be cooked with specialty made barbecue grills. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you are seated, the waiter will ask you if you want to have only their buffet or the complete churrasco. Buffet only means cheaper price and limited to only buffet table with no meat, and only salad, pasta and desserts. Taking the churrasco means higher price with complete buffet spread and grilled BBQ meat served to your table. We, of course choose the complete one because that's the point on coming to Tucano's. Having overdosed on meat. </div>

If you choose the complete all you can eat churrasco, the waiter will then explain to you how it works. So, you see the photo above? The three chips represents each of your options. Green is for meat, Yellow is for grilled pineapple and Red is when you are done. So, when you want to have the meat to be served to you, you put on the green chips on top of the letter T, the waiter will see it and come to your table with skewers of meat. They have 7 - 8 kinds of meat from chicken to beef. If you choose premium package, it will also have shrimps. When you feel like you need to take a break but you're not done yet, just put down all the chips in the table, don't put the red one unless you are finish and ready for bill. </div>

Please note this is the price as per the time I wrote this post. They also have Wagyu package but I forgot to take note on the price. The one we had is the 398k++ which includes 7-8 types of chicken, lamb and beef (sirloin) BBQ meat, buffet and free flow drinks. </div>

What I love is how the meat comes in different type of temperatures. So you can ask the medium or well done upon to your liking. You don't see these kind of options in an All you can eat restaurant. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The part of meat that I suggest you to taking on more is their <i><b>Picanha (top sirloin)</b></i>, soooooooo goood. They seasoned it with sea salt and was so freakin' tender. Their <b><i>Alcatra (Sirloin)</i></b> and <i><b>Fraldinha (Outside skirt)</b></i> also very juicy and good. The first few minutes they will come with chicken and sausage, I took one each just to know, but never repeat them. I think it's a waste of tummy space, so I only concentrate on the three types I mentioned earlier. *wink wink*</div>

I would suggest to not taking up too much on the buffet table because you will be too fed up for the meat. But, I personally am not really good at taking plenty of meat so it works well for me to combine it with their salad. The most common questions I've got about Tucano's besides on the price, was whether it was recommended? It was not an easy questions, because everyone's palate is different, but as for me, I would say that they have an excellent meat quality, so if you are a big meat eater, you'll love this place, but for Hubs and I, I think one time is enough, though it was a unique experience seeing all those big skewers of meat and having them served right in our table. </div>

A place worth to talk about always makes me excited to write a review. As you may all know, I'm not really that into food hunting anymore, but Kaum has been on my list since they opened its door. I think it's because their strong name in Hong Kong and Bali, and how they are under Potato Head management. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Saturday, we happened to have something to do in the area, so it's a perfect time for first visit to Kaum. We finished our thing around 4 something, too early for dinner actually but because we didn't have any reservation so coming at 7ish on Saturday night might result in having our name in a long wait list, hence early dinner at almost 5pm works well for us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kaum nestled in this huge classic house turned to restaurant. I love how they didn't tear down the building and kept it original on the exterior. It felt so classic and homey with all the natural plants on the yard, where all the guests didn't waste time on having pictures, yet so charming with its high ceiling modern take on the interior.<br />
Oh yes, 1/15 Coffee shop shares one place with them, so you can have their coffee while waiting. </div>

Ok, now onto the food. Kaum is an Indonesian restaurant offering food from all regions in the
country. They have selections to choose from Central Java to North
Sulawesi dishes. All the food are
cooked with no MSG, palm oil and Iodised salt. </div>

<b><u>Sate Sapi Wagyu Maranggi IDR 175.000,-</u> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dish was inspired from Purwakarta, West Java. Chargrilled Wagyu beef satay marinated with ginger, garlic, lesser galangal and crushed pepper. Comes in 5pcs, the meat was tender alright, they came with side of diced tomato and sweet soy sauce and lime which you need to pour them above the satay to enhance the flavor. I know that many people are raving on the satay, but honestly for us, it was just okay. I feel for a 175k plate of satay, it needs to have the extra flavor and juiciness. I personally think if you don't want to spend too much on your bill, this one can be skipped. But again, everyone's palate is different. :) </div>

Inspired from West Java, served with <i>urap</i> vegetables and green mango chilli, this crispy duck is beyond good! Coming in half size, the duck was absolute tender on the inside, crisp on the outside. I'm not really sure on the cooking method, but it's like they smoked the duck first before fried them, making the meat inside so tender. It was my favorite dish among what we ordered that evening. </div>

We were very full from all the delicious main course, but I need to have at least this one dessert, just because I have been hearing so much about this one. So the dessert was a combo of mud cake served with black sticky rice. You can either spread the sticky rice on top of the mud cake, or having them by each. I was impressed with how smooth the mud cake was, it was moist, soft and warm and those black sticky rice with coconut milk did well on satisfying my cravings. </div>

They provide complimentary white rice for each table. Small gesture, but well appreciated. I also love how prompt the food serving was, and how nice and friendly the waiters were, but there was this one thing with their service that make Hubs and I felt a bit annoyed. I feel that I need to point out that I don't really like how the waiter keep on coming to our table to take the empty plates during our meal. It's different if it was a dining with concept where food was served by individual plate and they need to take your empty finished plate before moving on to next course.<br />
This one, was a sharing plate where all the food were served in the center, and we don't like how when we finished with only one dish, they will like in a second, come and take the plate, so on for the second and third plates we had. It was so annoying that while we eat and having conversation, the waiter kept coming to take the empty plate. And then, just like it wasn't enough, one of them come with a table mop. I think it will be wiser if they let us finish our meal in peace, and then before we move to dessert, you can help us clean the table at once, instead of coming like 3-4 times during main courses, taking the empty plates like you ran out of clean plates in the kitchen. <br />
<br />
Despite the small uncomfortable thing I mentioned above, we did have a good time, I think Kaum certainly falls on top of good Indonesian restaurant. The price might be slightly higher than affordable but I believe quality food comes with price tag. As long as it was worth the price, why not?</div>

Madagaskar is a newly opened restaurant in Plaza Senayan with a unique concept. Their customer target obviously are family with kids, seeing from the "kids friendly" design. The whole idea is turning an imitation of tropical jungle with replicas of animal creatures, trees and plants to look like a restaurant inside a forest. The moment you stepped inside, you would find their souvenir store with mostly stuffed animals for sale, and walk further inside is the restaurant with a very dark lighting. I never really like a restaurant with dimmed lighting, especially a family restaurant type, but I think the lighting has something to do with the whole jungle theme. </div>

My camera was ran out of battery so the focus button wasn't working, most of the pictures are just blurry, I know. Sorry. :(</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh yes, I received many DMs when I posted this on IG stories, mostly were asking about the location, the food and the queue, apparently the restaurant is very crowded during weekend. I happened to come on weekday so it was pretty empty, if you are planning to come on weekend, reservation in advance might be needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The location indeed is secluded, hence some of you DMs me saying you never seen this place in Plaza Senayan. It's actually located on the 5th floor, the same floor as XXI. From Marche, turn right, Madagaskar is just next to Applebees'. </div>

I was actually feeling excited when I flipped on the menu and see variety of options to choose from. It's not often to find this kind of family concept restaurant with such big menu. Plus the price range is very affordable. Too bad, the excitement stopped there, because the food was simply too ordinary, taste and presentation wise. They were all so standard that I don't even want to waste my time reviewing them one by one. </div>

I'm pretty sure the fries they used are supermarket frozen one, either
that, or they just really can't fried a good fries. If I have to choose,
the only decent one was the chicken parmagiana (which I am pretty sure
it supposed to be Parmigiana?), the chicken was nicely breaded and juicy
on the inside. Quite a steal for 50k. </div>

If you are a parents or just a great auntie like me, Madagaskar can be a nice options to take your children or nephew and nieces to.

Pippo has been on my list since the day they opened for public, but just managed to go there couple days ago. They are a newly Italian restaurant located in Senayan City with a catchy name. Ambiance wise, Pippo is the sort of place you can easily getting comfortable in.</div>

We were there, just us two. In the hope of getting a good Italian treat. What I've always love from Italian restaurant is their welcoming soft fluffy bread. I always like the one where it comes with combination of olive oil and vinegar instead of butter for the dipping, and here at Pippo, they provide both of them.</div>

Before I even read the menu, I've known Pizza is what I wanted for my lunch that day. From 10 choices on the pizza selections, we picked their Italian Meatballs pizza (120k). I, as always requested extra rocket leaves on the top, though to find it came with only few of them. The pizza, wasn't the best but enough to accommodate my cravings. People who love cheese will appreciate more on how generous they are with the parmesan. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll say that both of our main courses only fall into a safe category. Not bad, but certainly not very good. Still in a determination of getting the "oomph" I was looking for to end our lunch, we went ahead on having a Tiramisu (80k) for dessert, and boy did I get that "oomph". Couple mistakes here and there on the main course wasn't happened at all on the dessert. Our Tiramisu was delightful. Smooth texture, enough creaminess with that hint of coffee. Everything was just so right! It was definitely one of the best Tiramisu I've had in a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am looking forward to come back for their pasta, and by then hopefully I'll be getting that "oomph" altogether from the moment I start with their Antipasti. </div>

Brought by the same group behind Tim Ho Wan Indonesia, Hawker Chan opens its first international branch in Jakarta. Two restaurants both are popular with "The world's cheapest Michelin starred restaurant" under the same roof. If you haven't know already, Hawker Chan is a hawker stall in Singapore specialized in soya chicken who in the past year becoming well known after gaining the Michelin star. </div>

<a name='more'></a>Located on the second floor of Tim Ho Wan PIK, don't expect a restaurant with fancy design. Probably to be aligned with their humble starting point, the design here is pretty standard with simple food presentation and affordable price range, just the right place for a quick decent lunch.<br />

<u><b>Roasted Pork Noodle IDR 52.000,- ; Roasted Pork Rice IDR 42.000,-</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was drawn by the look of their noodle. Any Hong Kong type noodle has always been successful in drawing my attention. As expected, the noodle was really good. Firm and springy, just the way I like it. Though I would prefer if the seasoning of chili oil under the noodle wasn't that oily. But still, my kind of noodle. The roast pork was just fine, skin wasn't crackling crispy, meat wasn't as tender as I would hope for. It would be great if in the future they would have Hainan rice as an option instead of only white rice.</div>

<u><b>Soya Chicken (Half) IDR 80.000,-</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their main star, the soya chicken was actually looking very tempting despite the humble presentation. Just by looking at it, I can tell the meat must be super moist, and I was right. Despite mine was breast cut (yes, I prefer breast part rather than thigh as I always feel that thigh part is greasier somehow), anyway despite it was breast part which sometimes can be a bit too dry, this one doesn't. The meat was tender and moist. To me, it was a bit under seasoning, but Indonesian who can't stay away from chili, just dipped it with the fresh chili they put on the table and you're good. </div>

Overall in my opinion, the food is just okay. It is an ideal place if you want to grab a quick decent lunch, but I personally didn't feel that extra oomph to make me quickly want to go back for second visit, except for the noodle, possibly. Nevertheless, to have another "Michelin starred" restaurant opens in my hometown still is a good news for Jakarta's F&B growth. </div>

Residents of PIK, be happy, now you can get your seafood craving fixed just nearby! Cabe Ijo is not a new name in the seafood department. The restaurant has been established for years and even going strong with their new outlets in Pluit and PIK. If you know Shirayuki desserts, they are located in the same location. Double happy news, as you can satisfy both your seafood and dessert cravings. *wink*</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Cabe Ijo serves live seafood, all freshly cooked upon ordering, and what I love from them besides the food are great, they have weekdays daily 50% promotion on each seafood. You can ask the stores for further information on this. <br />

Our last day in Japan. Flight was on midnight, so we make use of the whole morning and afternoon. We went to one of the popular market in Tokyo, Ameya Yokocho. It was a local old market where you won't see many tourist, but we love it here. There are so many things to look around and to buy. A great place for souvenirs and snacks. So many supermarkets that sell Japanese snacks in competitive prices.<br />

We went back to Harajuku Gyoza Lou for another gyoza madness and strolling around our favorite Omotesando before take a visit to Yanaka Ginza. It is the centre of commerce of Yanaka cityand prized for its atmosphere which brings you back to Edo period. I do feel the ambiance here is very old school and authentic, but personally we felt the area doesn't really have anything attractive, I think we expect much since it was quite a long journey from Shibuya.<br />

We went back to hotel to pick up our luggage then walked to Shinjuku bus station. One of the perks of staying at JR Kyushu Blossom Hotel is it is only 5 minutes walk to Shinjuku station where we can take airport bus to the airport. It's on level 4. You can buy the ticket on machine or counter, but if you purchase the ticket in advance before departure date, you need to do that via counter only. Bus ticket priced at 1230 Yen (IDR 157.000,-) per person.<br />
<br />
Haneda airport has tons of snacks. You can find giant pocky, Jaga Pokkuru, Royce, etc in here with reasonable price incase you don't have time to find something in the city. </div>

As what I've shared in my first post of this travel diary, we didn't stay in Hong Kong due to limited time. So sad because Hong Kong is like my favorite city in Asia. Anyway, during the transit, we make it a must to stop by at Joy Hing, our all time favorite roast goose restaurant in HK. Da bomb!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that ends my story of our Summer
in Japan diary. I always do my best to write a diary series of my travels, if it can help others, good, but my main purpose is so I can have the memories in writing for me to read and reminiscing that moment. I didn't finish my Korea trip diary last time and I always too lazy to write on my Hong Kong trips, I regretted it so much, hence am super glad to be able to finish this Japan summer diary.<br />
<br />
Anyway, to sum up, the trip has been super great. Even in summer
with that crazy heat, the trip is still so memorable. The city is so
clean, tidy, everyone is so so friendly, and the food, everything
and any random one, are so goood! I heart you, Japan and I am looking
forward for my fourth visit, hopefully the next one would be on spring
or autumn, since all my three visits were in Summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On
additional note, it has been so much fun to travel just us two. Traveling
with friends and family is great, but the feeling when travel with only just us two is like, triple great. =)</div>

<u><b>DAY 8 - OMOTESANDO - DOMINIQUE ANSEL - HEIROKU SUSHI - KABUKICHO - IZAKAYA DINNER @SHINJUKU </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Spending our last full day before going back to Jakarta the next day at our favorite part of Tokyo, Omotesando. We love Omotesando so much that we practically had been going back to this area almost every day during our Tokyo trip. I can't really explain why the area is our favorite, mostly about feeling, of course aside from the so many good food, the shops, the modern chic street and my favorite laid back alley on the back of Gyre building where Tonkatsu Maisen, Luke Lobster, Gyoza Lou and many more are located.<br />

Very often, randomly pick one turns to be great ones. Like this kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi along Omotesando. We ate in, I think around 5 kaiten sushi restaurants in this trip, and this one comes in second best after the one we had in Kyoto station. That is why I always encourage my friends to not only try places that often being recommended in social media by bloggers, as everyone personal taste is different. When you travel, and you see food that looks good and excites you, even if it's not on the recommended list by other food bloggers, do try!<br />
Note: Pricing around 130 - 490 Yen per plate. <br />

One of our most memorable dinner experience in Tokyo has got to be this random izakaya dinner at a small alley of Shinjuku. There are tons of izakaya diners along this alley. Each and everyone of them are small, humble and packed with customers. We randomly picked one, squeezed in with other customers at the communal table, very uncomfortable yet one of the best authentic experience. And the skewers were bomb! So simple yet so flavorful and goood. Gosh, I miss Japan. <br />

After the izakaya dinner, we strolled around Kabukicho and have another random dinner at this very packed restaurant. But we didn't really like the food here. Though still loving the vibes, mostly local dined here so it was nice to see the local feels. <br />

The moment we stepped out from the station, I was literally had my heart
attracted to Asakusa. That moment when I saw the lines of antique old
rickshaws and the giant red lantern of Sensoji temple, it was an instant
crush. The old vibes of Asakusa, especially when we walked around the
back side of the temple on our way to lunch, such a pretty neighborhood.
Asakusa is probably the only area in Tokyo with that old school vibes. </div>

Nakamise street is a line of shops all the way to Sensoji Temple. You'll
find plenty of shops selling souvenirs and snacks, including their
famous rice crackers. Too bad it was raining that day, though we
thankful for the breezy windy air, the rain makes it hard for us to look
around freely.<br />

From the temple, we walked along to the side of the temple where we find several food street including what we personally feel, best takoyaki we've had in this trip. It might not be the best in entire Japan but among three that we tried in this trip, this is the best one. Giant chunky squid inside gooey takoyaki. </div>

Keep walking straight and you'll find this place with tons of shops and the famous Melon pan Kagetsudo bread. You won't miss it due to the queue line. We tried one and honestly nothing special about the bread aside from how crunchy flaky it was on the outside. Pretty ordinary<i><b>, </b></i>but... Since you are there already, you simply have to buy one, just to kill the curiosity. </div>

Daikokuya Tempura is one of the most popular tempura restaurants in Asakusa neighborhood. By the time we of our visit, rain was still pouring, yet the queue line was going strong. We waited around 30mins before seated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their tempura is 100% deep fried in sesame oil savorily. We each have the <b>Tendon bowl consist of prawn, mixed tempura and Kisu fish 1550 Yen per bowl (IDR 198.400,- per bowl)</b>. Honestly, despite the popularity and crowded customers, we didn't feel anything special about their tempura. Seasoning was well flavored in rather deep tempura sauce but the tempura wasn't crisp like what we expected.<br />

From Daikokuya, we went straight to Tokyo Station for the ultimate
shopping of snacks and goodies. You can find almost any Japanese snacks
here from Tokyo Banana (not all flavors available), Pocky, Glico,
complete products of Calbee+, Kit Kat and many more. Just make sure your
wallet is ready as the price ain't cheap. <br />

After the shopping spree at Tokyo station, we went back to hotel, take a bit of rest and head to Shake Shack. Ever since my first attempt of <a href="http://only1ivy.blogspot.co.id/2015/09/shake-shack-dubai.html" target="_blank">Shake Shack in Dubai</a>, I have been waiting anxiously for my second time. It was that GOOD! I am loving their first outlet located inside the Meiji Jingu Gaien park. Seriously it was so green, so serene, imagine how pretty and comforting it will be if we came here on spring or autumn. The view would be crazily beautiful. </div>

Though summer isn't exactly the best time to visit Japan since the heat is crazy, the good side is less queue. My three times trip to Japan has always been in summer and I had never experience too much of waiting time everytime we eat. At least not as long as what I've heard from friends who visit Japan on more popular time like spring or autumn. Take example of Shake Shack, I've read few blogs mentioning they were queuing for like 2-3 hours alone for this, call us lucky, but there was NO QUEUE or whatsoever during our visit! </div>

<b><u>MUTEKIYA RAMEN</u> </b><br />

The only so called very long waiting queue we had was this Mutekiya Ramen. We were there for supper, I think around 10pm and we waited for a good 1.45 mins just for these bowl of ramen. Was it good? Yes. The broth was thick and full of flavor. Though I literally feel that it was only good at the first few sips, after that the thick broth gets too heavy for my palate. Roasted pork fillet was generous and thick, but for me who don't really into thick pork meat, I only ate one slice of them and left the other two unfinished. I would say that the ramen was good, worth to try but definitely not worth the queue. </div>

Another good lunch we had in Japan is this trending Gyukatsu Motomura. Ever since I saw them online on social medias, I have made it a must have agenda for our trip. We were lucky to bump into their outlet somewhere while strolling around Ginza since the queue was rather short compare to what I read online about the 2 to 3 hours queue at their Shibuya outlet. Our queue here was around 45 mins. Pretty reasonable considering the place can only accommodate 17 seats.</div>

They only serve one menu which is the beef cutlet with 2 options of size, 130gr or 260gr, with or without yam. The price has included set of beef cutlet with cabbage, potato salad, pickles and free refill of rice. We each had the 130gr without yam, and an additional plate of 100gr beef cutlet. </div>

Were they good? Too good! The beef despite was deep fried on the outside was super tender on the inside. The meat inside was rare, it comes with small grill for customers to grill the meat up to the temperature they prefer. Must try! </div>

Kabukicho is the<b> </b>busy district of East Shinjuku, while our hotel is on the west part. Kabukicho offers a very different view and feeling of Shinjuku. While the west Shinjuku is calmer with lesser entertainment and shops, the east part is very much not the same. Kabukicho is bold, crowded, colorful with tons of people, shops, and lights. Many said that people need to be careful around the area as they are categorized into red district of Tokyo with plenty bars and "entertainment" shops, but personally we feel fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

East and West of Shinjuku can be reached within walking distance. Once you enter Kabukicho area, look up and you will see the famous Godzilla head next to Gracery Shinjuku hotel. One of the biggest Don Quijote store can be found here. They are a popular store in Japan sell almost everything, though personally the place isn't my favorite. It's one of the most confusing store with that crowds of people, crazy loud music, cramped alleys and everything. For me personally, is messily displayed. I'm not sure if all Don Quijote's stores are that loud since we only went to the one here in Shinjuku and another one accross our hotel back in Osaka. But, if you are okay with crowds and loud music, have fun go mad, cause they sold almost everything, and tax free for purchase of minimum 5000 Yen. <br />

Since we don't have much time in Kyoto, we have to choose between either Arashiyama Bamboo Forest or Fushimi Inari. We ended going to Fushimi Inari with reasons that it is closer so we can spend more time exploring the place rather than rushing back and forth Arashiyama.<br />

Though the primary reason of most tourists coming here is the famous Torii gates leads to exploring mountain trails, the shrine itself is also very much interesting, not to mention there are plenty of foods sold here. From the must have Kitsune udon to beef skewers. Do allocate at least an hour to explore the area. <br />

The key to get that perfect shot of this iconic thousands of oranges torii gates is PATIENCE. You will see everyone is trying to take selfies here, so it ain't easy. Hubs is not someone who really cares about picture taking. He is more of the save the memory through the eyes, seize the moment kind of guy rather than capturing everything with camera. He said that it ruins the fun of holiday when you are too busy with camera and picture taking. Well, I'm with him on that, taking too many pictures indeed ruining the fun, but on the other side, I always feel that picture means a lot, you might not appreciate it now, but when you're older you get to learn that precious feeling when you see the old pictures and have your memories taken back to that time. Don't ya think?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

From Fushimi Inari, we went back to hotel, check out and went straight crossing the street to Kyoto Station for our Shinkansen ride to Tokyo. The shinkansen is very neat, clean and comfy. We totally dozed off almost the entire ride.<br />

This hotel is actually one of the hardest one to book because it is so popular. At least by the time when I did the booking, it was always sold out. It was a very good luck that we landed 4 nights via Agoda. I have no hesitation on booking this one since there are so many good reviews, but personally if you ask me do I want to stay here again the next time I'm in Tokyo, probably no. The hotel is more than good. It is brand new, modern, the room is very nice, we had a great stay, but I am not really fond of the location despite that it is located next to Family Mart and only 5 mins walk from Shinjuku station. I think it all comes to preferences, I have always been loving Shibuya more than Shinjuku, so for me, next time, I would much prefer to stay at Shibuya like what I did on my previous Japan trips. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is very important to know which station you want to take off. I had done my research and understood that instead of Tokyo station, we should just stop at Shinjuku station for the nearest station to our hotel. It was easy peasy to locate JR Kyushu Blossom hotel from Shinjuku station. Exit South, cross the street, find Mcdonalds in an intersection, and the hotel is in that alley.<br />

As soon as we did the check in and got a little rest, we went straight to first thing first... Maisen Tonkatsu. My love for tonkatsu is undeniable. I love love love tonkatsu. It's my second favorite Japanese food right after sushi and sashimi. Honestly, I am not that into Tonkatsu Maisen in Japan because they don't provide goma sauce for the shredded cabbage's dressing, I prefer the one at Singapore. But still, goma sauce aside, YUM! </div>

Ps. If you are also into tonkatsu, Katsutoku (formerly Katsusei, they changed the name to Katsutoku as they no longer franchise the brand, but the chef, menu and taste are the same) is my favorite tonkatsu place in Jakarta. They previously have 3 branches but now only left one in Plaza Senayan. I'll be doomed if one day they run out of business. </div>

Omotesando and Harajuku is just a block away, an easy walking distance. Too bad that we came during summer. Anyway, as you may all know, Takeshita street at Harajuku is the most popular and crowded street in the area. Personally, the street has never been my favorite, since I'm not really into crowds and there's nothing really attracts me except the Calbee+ store where we can have fresh potatoes and a huge Daiso. You would also find famous Harajuku crepes in this street. </div>

Our day three in Osaka is all about Universal Studios Japan, or Harry Potter to be more precise. Except the new Wizarding world of Harry Potter, nothing really changed from the other attractions at USJ from my previous visit. So, if you've been here before, I wouldn't recommend you for another visit unless you are USJ freak. Doesn't mean it's not fun, a trip to amusement park is always fun. Anyway, I'm not going to talk too much about USJ since I have shared a separate post on Harry Potter. </div>

This place is one of the restaurants at Dotonburi that always had people queuing. The name of the restaurant is not Kaiten Belt, I just put it that way since I don't know the English name, but you'll notice the huge sushi symbol. Kaiten belt is a conveyor sushi belt restaurant which commonly found at any area in Japan. Here, they are all priced at 135 Yen (IDR 19.000,-) per plate, except for some better quality ones which they'll put price tag mark. The pricing are cheap with good sushi, explaining the queue line. But they are not the best kaiten belt sushi restaurant we had during our trip. I'll let you know on later post.<br />
Nevertheless, this one is still worth to try. They are available for take away too, they display all the bento box up front, and if you do plan on taking away, there's a separate part for take away line so you don't need to queue along with the dine-ins. </div>

Okay, Daruma Kushikatsu is definitely one restaurant we bumped in like everywhere in Osaka. Literally, they are everywhere! In Namba itself, we found three of them. Kushikatsu and Yakitori, all that skewers kind of food are actually my least favorite Japanese food, but since they are that famous and people keep saying you have to try Daruma Kushikatsu in Osaka, so we did. We had ours right after our quick sushi fixed, while we strolling around Sinshabashisuji. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All kushikatsu will comes with fresh cabbage and their signature sauces on the table with strictly no double dipping rules. We find them to be pretty ordinary, but still at least we've tried the most famous grumpy old man in Osaka. =) </div>

Day four of our trip was going to Kyoto, we went for a quick breakfast at one of Japanese's popular beef bowl restaurant, Chikara Meshi. It's located around 10 minutes walk from Dotonburi. The ordering system at almost all Japanese beef bowl restaurant chains is by vending machine, click, pay and give the receipt to the server. Japan's most popular beef bowl beside Chikara Meshi is Yoshinoya, Matsuya and Sukiya, you'll find them everywhere. My favorite among all is Chikara, while Hubs still prefer the good old Yoshinoya. </div>

One of my best meal in our Japan trip is absolutely this amazing lobster roll. So gooood! The opening hours is 11am, but people had been queuing before that, and if you want to have the lobster roll do come early. Our first time, we came at around 3pm and the lobster were sold out already, leaving only shrimp rolls. So, we learned our lesson and came around 11 something the next day right after our breakfast at Chikara. Since Hubs is allergic, I only ordered one and trust me, you definitely have to try Luke's. The lobster was amazingly fresh only seasoned with lemon and some herbs, without any creamy sauce or kind. If Osaka is in your itinerary, I wold strongly suggest you to have Luke Lobster here instead of Tokyo, merely because there is much lesser queue in Osaka. I think I only queued for like 10 mins. </div>

You can also take Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train) to Kyoto which only take 15 mins, but with twice pricier tickets, we figured to just take the JR Rapid since its only 15 minutes slower.<br />

Kyoto station turned to be way beyond our expectation. So many good restaurants and stores, made our choice to stay just across the station to be a good choice. Remember the kaiten belt sushi I've mentioned to be the best we had in Japan? It's in Kyoto station. Stupidly, I forgot to take pictures of the restaurant, but I think it's the only kaiten belt sushi located on the ground floor near supermarket. </div>

Nishiki market is a five block long market filled with hundreds of shops including fresh seafood, sushi, cookware, snack and souvenir shops. We passed by this market on our way to Gogyo ramen and didn't really see anything interesting, so due to not having too much time in Kyoto, we decided to not come back here after our lunch at Gogyo which is located really near the market. </div>

Gogyo ramen is a popular ramen shop in Kyoto famous for its burnt ramen.<b> </b>Though I personally didn't find anything so special. I had their famous burnt soy sauce ramen with the signature black broth. I find the noodles over cooked and the broth wasn't had that tangy shoyu I was looking for. Hubs' pork plate was quite ordinary as well. </div>

Another area you definitely must go when you're in Kyoto is Gion. Such a charming street with all those Ryokan, reflecting the authentic Japanese culture. If only we came not in summer, I could easily spend hours there just to awing on the cultures. Just like when we went to Korea and only spent a day in Busan and regretted it, we also regretted to only spent 1 night in Kyoto. Such a lovely city. </div>

Hozenji Yokocho is one of my personal favorite. The temple with quaint narrow alley located at the busy Minami area take you back to the olden days of Osaka. Can't believe this place located just few blocks away from the vibrant Dotonburi. You can really feel the strong Japanese culture in this place. Rows of small authentic Japanese restaurants are along the alley. We went here early morning before our trip to Kuromon market so the shops are all closed, they only open around late afternoon and sadly we didn't have time to come back later that day, even though our hotel just 10 minutes walk away. Seriously, we loved how Cross Hotel is so conveniently located. The famous Hozenji Sanpei Okonomiyaki and Daruma Kushikatsu can also be found here. </div>

Since the main transport will be used in Japan is the subway (taxi cost fortune here), I recommend you to buy the subway card. In Osaka is called Icoca card, in Tokyo is Pasmo or Suica card. Don't worry, you can use Icoca card in Tokyo or other cities in Japan, goes the same with Pasmo or Suica. But, you can only refund the card at the origin city. Meaning, you can't return Icoca card for money at other city besides Osaka (at least, that's what I know). We bought Icoca card for 2000 Yen, that include 500 Yen for deposit fee which you can get back after deducted 220 Yen for handling fee. The card can be used for subway and buses, but not shinkansen. All subway cards expired after ten years, so I don't really see why you need to get the refund, unless you are certain to never visit Japan in the next 10 years. During this trip, it costs us more or less, 7000 Yen (IDR 900.000,-) per person for transport of subway (exclude JR ticket to Kyoto and Shinkansen ticket to Tokyo). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Icoca, Pasmo or other subway card can be purchased in ticketing machine at subway station. </div>

Probably our second favorite place in Osaka after Dotonburi. Like seriously if we have more time in the city, we would so going to like twice or thrice, even though the place ripped off our wallet. LOL. If you are someone who loves fresh seafood, this is your place. As much as we also love Tsukiji, but we like this place more due to the varieties. Though be careful, it is a market but it ain't cheap. If you're not being cautious, you can spent too much here. </div>

I can't say that you will love this place because everyone's preference is different. <u><b>If you don't have too much days to spent, I would strongly suggest you to prioritize. Choose the kind of attractions you most likely have fun and put the others "not so important" as a back up plan.</b></u> The least you want to do is try to pack all places on one day. You'll end up rushing everything and don't really have time to explore. We know for sure that we are not interested at historical castle and park, so we, well I, since Hubs don't really care about the itinerary and just tag along, I put Osaka castle as a back up plan if we do have time, we ended not going due to the limited time, but no regrets as it wasn't our primary must go place. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hubs and I, we always love going to traditional market during travel. When we went to Busan Korea, we had so much fun at Jagalchi fish market and still talks about how fresh the seafood we had there. <u><b>So, that's my point, when you travel, if possible, go alone, don't go by tour and prioritize your own interest, not based on others itinerary cause everyone's choice of interest is different</b></u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you entered Kuromon, you'll see this store. Do go in, the place sells ridiculously fresh ingredients and they can cook it for you to eat at their shop, well every stores in the market practice the same method, but this one has a complete seafood options, from oyster, sashimi, uni, crab, lobster, anything. </div>

We went to Osaka Aquarium because Hubs has always have a thing for fish. Fish is his fetish. I'm not into these kind of thing but I do have to admit that Osaka Kaiyukan is pretty amazing.

Shinsekai is one of the old neighborhood in Osaka that was develop before war with the iconic Tsutenkaku tower at the center of the neighborhood. To us, aside from taking picture and see for ourselves the iconic Tsutenkaku which also have observatory deck to view the city of Osaka, nothing really stands out here. What you can find at Shinsekai is lots of elderly, many spa places with nude pictures in front of the shops, tons of pachinko slots machine, and kushikatsu stalls including the famous Daruma. We spent not more than only 30 minutes here. </div>

Tenjimbashisuji is Japan's longest shopping street with 2,6km line of shops in total.<b> </b>We went there around 3-4pm and the place was still very much quiet, stores are open, but it was mentioned the best time to come here is during late evening. Personally we didn't see any interesting findings here, but then again we didn't explore the market for too long.<br />

Yayoiken is one of the restaurant that was on my go to list recommended by a friend of ours and we found them near Tenjimbashisuji with the help of Google maps. Yayoiken is a teishoku style restaurant. Teishoku means meal set with rice, pickles and miso soup as side dish and one choice of main dish. The ordering system as to many restaurants in Japan is by vending machine. We choose the item we want, pay, get the tickets and pass them to the server, then be seated and wait for the food to be delivered.<br />

Yayoiken provides all you can eat rice and pickles. The price is cheap compare to the food they serve. We had one of our good lunch here. The food was fresh with heartwarming flavors. Strongly recommended. You can find their branches spread all over Japan, and outside the country too. </div>

We've heard tons of good words about Mizuno being the best okonomiyaki in town, do we agree? Uuum, not really. The restaurant is very petite and they are indeed famous, so prepare to queue. Located inside the alley of Ebisubashi-suji in the center of Dotonburi, next to Ichiran ramen (Ichiran's smaller outlet compare to the one located at Dotonburi river walk). We queued for 45 minutes. Party of two will be seated in their first floor at the okonomiyaki bar where you can see the chef preparing your orders. Customers with larger group will be seated upstairs. </div>

Though yes, the okonomiyaki was loaded with seafood and definitely so much better than the one in Jakarta, but we didn't really feel anything special about them. Under seasoning too that we had to ask for extra sauce. The okonomiyaki was huge and more than enough for two, so I will recommend first timer to only order one first. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello! Welcome to my Summer in Japan travel diary!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
To most people, summer might not be the best season to visit Japan. We know that the peak times to visit are in spring and autumn, but we had our reasons. The very first one is that when it
comes to traveling, Hubs doesn't have a flexible schedule. We own a humble business and though it can be managed without
having him there everyday, He always there. He's a workaholic and I love that about him. My parents are both workaholic too, we have our small family business, so since my childhood, I am used to the idea of having long holiday only on Idul Fitri or new year where here in my hometown, most business will closed for a period of week or two. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>We love traveling but we share the same vision as
my mom. Work hard while you can, so you can enjoy your pension
days earlier. So for us, the best traveling time has always been based on what most convenient with our schedule.<br />
<br />
The second reason, this trip was a total impromptu one. We didn't plan to go anywhere at first since we're on maternity program, but when that goes south, we made our impromptu trip. Ever since we got married, this is the first time that we went on Lebaran (Idul Fitri) holiday, just us two, without our family, either from mine or his side. Normally we go along with one of the family for family trip. This year, my parents went to Australia, while my in laws went to Taiwan. As much as we feel bad for not coming with either one of them, for once in a long time, we wanted to be selfish and prioritize ourselves. We know we need that "just us two" moment. And Japan came as our sole choice.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unless it's for a more than 10 hours flight, we normally prefer to have direct flight, but I've been missing Hong Kong so much that we decided to take Cathay Pacific for a short couple days in Hong Kong, the city that will always stay close to my heart. Unfortunately in the end we have to change<b> </b>our plan to extend in Hong Kong as Hubs can't be away from work for too long. </div>

We only have around 4 hours before our flight to Osaka, so we just hang around HKIA. First, my favorite wonton noodle. I love HK's wonton noodle so so much. From the popular Mak's noodle or the Michelin award winner, Ho Hung Kee, until the regular no brand noodle, all fine with me. This one, is from Ho Hung Kee. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We decided to have Osaka for our first stop because I wanted Tokyo to be the last city before flying back to Jakarta. I would strongly recommend to do some searching first on how to go from airport to the hotel or air bnb you'll stay at. I personally feel taking the limousine bus from airport to the city is the best way. It's cheap, seat guaranteed and we can enjoy the view.<br />
<br />
Japan is very organized, no need to worry if you travel alone. As long as you've done your research, you'll be fine. This was my third time in Japan, but the previous two were like 4 -5 years ago so I did my research attentively before the trip starts. As soon as you walk out from the gate on the first floor, just find the bus sign and you'll be directed outside the gate, walk to the ticket vending machine and choose your destination. We stayed at Namba area, so we took the bus no 11 row A to OCAT. It cost
1050 yen (IDR 134.400) per person and the duration is around 50
minutes.<br />

<u><b>SIM CARD OR POCKET WIFI RENTAL? </b></u></div>
<br />
You can rent sim card or pocket wifi in Japan. Purchasing them is not a common practice like other countries in Asia. The rental order system is via website and paid online before your travel. On the website, you can choose either you want to have it deliver to airport (post office pick up) or your hotel.<br />
Now the question is, sim card or pocket wifi? It's a matter of preferences actually. With pocket wifi, you can share the devices with your traveling partners. I chose to rent (yes, rent, not purchase) sim card for the reason as follow, my bag is heavy enough with the camera, phone, power bank, make up pouch, etc, I don't need another pocket wifi to make it heavier. Second, I don't want to be worried about charging the pocket wifi with power bank when my phone also needed to be charged. Bottom line, if you ask me, I'd say sim card rental is much more convenient. I rent mine at <a href="http://rental.cdjapan.co.jp/" target="_blank">http://rental.cdjapan.co.jp/</a> for 10days cost 2600 Yen (IDR 332.800). Paid online in advance and had it deliver to hotel. The process of activation is simple and easy, comes with instructions and envelope with stamps to return after usage .<br />
<br />
After you done with your sim card, you can return it at any post office box across Japan, you can also ask the hotel you stayed at to help you return them. I chose to return them at the airport. If you are returning from Haneda airport, you can put the sealed envelope at return box inside Lawson supermarket at first floor. <br />

One that frustrated me the most is looking for a hotel while traveling. To us, hotel is a very important factor when it comes to traveling. Everyone has their own style when it comes to travel, We personally are not the type of travelers that go out from day to late night until our feet sores. When we travel, we took it like a vacation, easy breezy, we like to come back to hotel when we feel tired, so location and comfortable place to stay is crucial to us. I had difficulties on deciding which hotel to stay in Japan since some of the hotels are quite small, I don't want to end with a very small one, but I also don't want to spend too much on them.<br />
<br />
I've known from the start that I want to stay at Namba area, since I want to stay close to Dotonburi. I had booked Nikko hotel when I accidentally find this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCeErwP4xdI" target="_blank">you tuber</a> that review about Nikko and Cross Hotel. I don't understand a word he said, but on the video he shows us the directions from subway to Cross Hotel. After I watched the video, I am certain that Cross Hotel is my choice. Luckily, my booking at Nikko was via Agoda and it was free cancellation.<br />

We super love our stay at Cross Hotel. The location is excellent. Sinsaibashisuji is just behind our hotel and Dotonburi is only a minute walking, literally the famous Glico sign is right next to the hotel. If you want to stay near Dotonburi, there's no better hotel than this one. Lawson is just beside the hotel and the popular souvenir shop, Don Quijote is just across and it opens 24/7. I highly recommended this hotel.<br />

I couldn't really take better angle to shoot the entire room, but the
room size was quite okay, it was not huge, but definitely not small. We
booked the twin room since the only room that come with view to Midosuji road are the twin rooms. The room size is around 27m2 with
each 120cm width Simmons duvet bed. Each room comes with bath tub and the water temperature is amazing. It takes literally one second for the water to turn into hot, unlike some hotels where we at least need to wait 15- 20 seconds. Service was polite and helpful from the minute we walked in. I have nothing bad to say about Cross Hotel.<br />

You can't leave Osaka without trying their Takoyaki! Do you know that Takoyaki is originated from Osaka? Not Tokyo, not Kyoto, not any other city in Japan. You'll find tons of Takoyaki in Osaka, at Dotonburi itself we found more than 10. One of the most talked about takoyaki is Dotonburi Konamon Takoyaki with its signature giant red octopus sign that you hardly will missed. We bought 8pcs of them for 650 Yen (IDR 83.200). They were good, thin layer with gooey soft texture, but I don't think they were that good, the octopus they put inside was chopped too small. We prefer the one at Asakusa Tokyo to be our best finding on this trip for Takoyaki. </div>

We spent 1800 Yen (IDR 230.400) for the sushi at picture above. Decent price for decent sushi. Every sushi in Japan is good, even the one in supermarket, but we feel Sushi Zanmai wasn't that mind blowing for us.<br />

On Lok Yun has been established for more than 80 years. This old school restaurant serves traditional breakfast and they are so on point. Their soft bread was so gooooood, so soft and fluffy like pillow, dipped into thick kaya spread. Really really good. And so cheap!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The location is quite far, but for someone who love these kind of breakfasts, for me, it was worth the trip and I will be coming here again next time, on the last day so I can bring home the bread and kaya jam back home. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the floating market in Bangkok is located a little outside Bangkok, about 1 hour car ride. We've been to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa, two of the most popular weekend market in Bangkok during our previous trips <b><i>(read <a href="http://only1ivy.blogspot.co.id/2015/04/ivys-travel-bangkok-pattaya-diary-part-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>), </i></b>so this time we wanted to go to the one located just in the city. I did some searching and Khlong Lat Mayom is mentioned by lots of blogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Khlong Lat Mayom is a market where you can stroll around by boat or by foot. Now, do take attention. The market is divided into three sections. Two small ones which have nothing really, and another huge one with plenty of food, when I say plenty, I mean very. If you enter the wrong section which is the small one, you'll find nothing and ended up regretting to come all the way here, so do enter the big one. Plenty of seafood and snacks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This market only sells food and drinks, no clothes, souvenirs and other things. </div>

Talad Rod Fai is a night market open from Thursday to Sunday, though going on weekdays is not preferable as some shops are closed. It was our first time coming to this market and was surprised to see so many shops and vendors selling not only food, but also clothes and stuff. It's sort of like Chatuchak's night version but this one is cheaper. </div>

If you ask me personally, I loved our time at Road Fai market but I still prefer Chatuchak. Probably because this place is quite far and it wasn't easy to look for a cab to go back to hotel. Most of the cabs don't want to go by meter and asked for ridiculous price of 500 Baht. After numerous cabs, we finally found one honest driver who wants to go by meter. It cost us 170 Baht exclude highway fee 50 Bath from Rod Fai to our hotel in Pratunam. </div>

Except for the transportation difficulties, it is a great option to go in Bangkok. If you do come here, you must look for vendor who sells smoothies and bought their blueberry or raspberry smoothies. Really really good.</div>

I have heard LadyIronChef raving about Inter being their favorite Thai restaurant in Bangkok. We have our own favorite, but this trip I wanted to try Inter. The restaurant is a pretty standard non decorated and quite packed with customers during our visit. We paid only 558 Baht (IDR 212.000,-) for 5 dishes, two drinks and 1 white rice. So affordable. Taste wise is pretty standard for us. We still prefer <a href="http://only1ivy.blogspot.co.id/2016/06/ivys-travel-bangkok-travel-diary-part.html" target="_blank">Bhan Khun Mae</a> and our good old street vendor at <a href="http://only1ivy.blogspot.co.id/2016/05/ivy-travel-bangkok-travel-diary-part-i.html" target="_blank">Petchburi Soi 12</a>. </div>

Wattana Panich is a family business eatery since 1970 specializes in Kuay Teow Nua (beef noodle soup). Famous for its gigantic pan welcoming you as you step inside the humble diner. I would say that it was a good beef noodle soup, the broth was light but full of flavor, very fragrant, you can guess it by the amount of meat boiled in the gigantic pan. Though I wouldn't categorize them as something that is really really good. We spent 340 Baht (IDR 130.000,-) for total 3 bowls. <br />

<b>Some snacks I'd recommend you to try when you're in Bangkok: </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Big Yakult </b><br />
<b> </b>I am a huge fan of Yakult, and whenever I am in Bangkok, Taiwan or Hong Kong, I will stock few <b> </b>bottles of this big Yakult in hotel fridge for me to indulge during my stay. Singapore also have big <b> </b> yakult now, of course each country has their own brand. I have drank this plenty of times but don't<b><br /></b><br />
<b> </b>know why, never took a pic of it. I'll do it next time and update the post. It can be find in any<b> </b><br />
<b> </b>7 Eleven.<b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. McDonalds Various Pie 26 Baht </b><br />

Mcdonalds Thailand has quite options when it comes to their pies, unlike Jakarta that only have 1 type of apple pie. In Thailand, you'll find, to mention some, chocolate pie, pineapple pie, corn pie, spinach and ham pie, etc. During this trip, I've tried the corn and spinach & ham pie. The corn one was so goooood. Definitely a must try. I didn't like the spinach ham because it comes with cream milky sauce inside.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Bangkok Banana 12 Baht</b><br />

If Japan has Tokyo Banana, then Bangkok also has their own Bangkok banana. This soft cake with banana or chocolate custard filling can easily be found in any 7 Eleven with only 12 Baht!<br />
<br />

Another Bangkok travel diary, this time on Christmas. Obviously, we didn't plan to go to Bangkok to celebrate Christmas since it isn't the best city for it. The majority religion in Bangkok is Buddhism, so you hardly see any big celebrations nor Christmas decorations here. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To cut straight to the story, we spent 6 days in the city and again, we stayed at our favorite hotel in Bangkok, Amari Watergate Hotel. I'm not going to talk much on this as I've covered on why we love this hotel on my previous Bangkok trip. But to say it again, if you like street food and shopping, Pratunam is the best area to stay in Bangkok, and Amari Hotel is the best one to stay, good accommodation with great location. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Oh, btw, one of the most frequent question I received via instagram is about what kind of simcard I use. Traveling to Bangkok is very easy and convenient. Right after you walk out from arrival gate, you will find many shops selling prepaid simcard and they will help you to activate it on your phone. For a 7days of unlimited internet cost me 299 Baht (IDR 114.000,-). Very cheap. Choose any kind of provider, all the same. I normally always use True or Dtac. </div>

Since our hotel is just like 10 minutes walk to SabX2, it felt illegal to not revisit. We actually do like the noodle, and when the queue is not crazy, we always make sure to drop by.<br />

If you eat intestines, I urge you to try this oh so good pig ear
salad. It is so so goooood! The sauces they use, that lime, basil and
the chilli, makes it spicy sour at the same time. Really really good. It
was only a humble side road business using cart, but make no mistake,
people queue up start from the opening at 3pm and normally by 5, they
are sold out already. We have been a fan since our first time in
Bangkok. It was not hard to find, just come at 3pm, find First Hotel,
the cart is right across them.<br />

We have been to Bangkok more than 10 times, but never once set foot at Chinatown because it was quite far from Pratunam, and with that horrible traffic, we felt lazy even before going. But on this trip, I make it a must to go there since I've heard there are plenty of good food in the area. We went by taxi (100 baht from Pratunam), took around 35minutes. Honestly speaking, we felt that there was nothing really interesting in Chinatown. Shopping and food wise. It was good to know, but I don't think I will go again next time.<br />

T&K seafood is by far the most crowded and popular eatery at Chinatown. It is located at the first intersection of Yaowarat road and with that crowd and queue, you won't missed it. The long queue turned both of us off, but turns out to be very quick. We were seated in like 5 mins. The place is an old house where you can choose to sit on the side road as well. We were seated inside and it wasn't a good dining ambiance. The inside was so cramped and so packed. I would suggest to better sit outside by the road. But the food was generally good, especially the Pla Kapong. Man, Thai food with their lime and spices, how it can be so fresh, light yet sour and spicy at the same time.<br />

I've heard that Wang Lang market is one of the busiest local market in
Bangkok, since we love exploring local area and traditional markets, we
made a trip there, but it wasn't an easy ride. The queue to take the
boat is quite long and don't picture riding a nice classy boat, it is
more like a fisherman wooden boat, open air type, with the crazy 34
degrees heat and around 30 minutes boat ride, wasn't really something I
would be doing again. </div>

If you do want to go here, the boat will stop at many pier stops before stoping at Wang Lang market. It's not the end destination, so everytime the boat stops, you need to look closely on the pier sign. If you see Phannok pier, that's your cue to step down. Wang Lang market located just behind the pier, across from a huge hospital that I can't remember the name.<br />

You won't see many tourists in Wang Lang as the market is not a popular
destination for tourist. Yes, there are plenty of food, souvenir,
shopping stuffs, but we personally don't feel the market is that good.<br />

Thailand is famous for its unbelievably good of cracking pork belly, and Mr. Joe without doubt is one of the most popular place serving them. Their main dish is actually Kuay Jap (pork intestine with soup), but their fried crackling pork belly is what make them famous.<br />

It was not a short ride to come here, the traffic in Sathon area where they are located is often packed, but the crispy pork made it worth while. It was crazy crisp! I don't know how they can make the skin so crisp that when you bite them, you feel like eating a chips. So goood on the crackling but on the flavor was a bit bland. The pork belly wasn't marinated, but once you dipped them in the sauce, the taste starts to elevate. For us personally, taste wise, we still prefer the one in Chatuchak, but crackling crisp wise, hands down, Mr. Joe.<br />

When I posted this on IG stories, many of you asked me on the directions to go there. Mr. Joe is located not in a busy area, so it is definitely not easy to find. The reason why we didn't bump into any trouble in finding them is because I screen capture their address in Thai language from this blog:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Go to the link, screen capture the address, and show it to your cab driver, and you'll be okay. Most of the cab driver in Bangkok don't really read English, so for places that aren't located in popular area, you need to have the name and address in their local language. I normally go by google search (that's how I found the blog) or I asked hotel's concierge to help me write the name and address in Thai. </div>

When I heard that one of Osaka's most popular sushi, Endo sushi opens in
Bangkok, I immediately put it in our list. Thong Lor area is popular
with many Japanese restaurants, Endo sushi is located inside The Taste,
where all the tenants in the building are Japanese cuisines. We had a
delicious dinner at Endo. A nice break from all that local Thai food.
The sushi was fresh and melt in your mouth.<b> </b></div>

Talad Neon night market is a recent new night market in Pratunam. It is located next to Berkeley Hotel, not too far from Platinum fashion mall. Talad Neon night market is not really big, it is an empty open air yard turned into street stand vendors selling F&B and clothes. When we visit, it didn't really have anything. I'm not sure if it has something to do with they are still really new during our period of visit or if the market really does have nothing. </div>

Thip Samai is the most popular Pad thai restaurant in Bangkok. Open only from 5pm to after midnight, long queue is to be expected. All over the walls are covered with recognition in frames from media and newspaper. I can't remember the pad thai prices, but if I'm not mistaken mine is about 250 Baht as I chose the one with big prawns as the topping. Is the Pad Thai really is as good as people said? Well, since I'm not a pad thai person, my opinion might be bias, it was good but I didn't feel anything that special. </div>

One thing you must order when you come here though is their signature pulpy fresh orange juice. So fresh and so good. I don't know how to explain it, but their orange juice is different with others. I saw many customers bought the big bottles to take home. <br />

With Jakarta has been raining almost everyday lately, it is comforting to
find another Vietnamese restaurant open at PIK. Bo & Bun is a
franchise of the one in Bali, specializes in Vietnamese food located in a
row with Chir Chir and Sushi Hiro. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I instantly like the interior and exterior of Bo & Bun. The exterior with brick walls kinda look like a barn, in a good way. Stepping inside, the place was small but the chandeliers came as a nice touch, give an intimate good feeling, while glass window has always been a good idea for natural light. Love it when a restaurateur put a length of gesture in creating a good ambiance on the interior as well instead of focusing on food only. </div>

A good appetizer to start with. The steamed buns were amazingly soft and fluffy with tender pork belly in the middle. I asked for extra coriander to bring out more flavors and I will suggest you to do so too. Yum! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Double fried with spicy Korean sauce, sesame seeds, and fresh coriander.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not a fan. The chicken was too marinated resulted in too sweet flavor instead of spicy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>The 12 Hour Pho IDR 90.000,-</b><br />
Beef broth, sliced tenderloin, sliced beef shanks, beef meatballs, rice noodle, coriander stems, sliced onions, side of fresh bean sprouts, chili, Thai basil and lime.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, for me their pho didn't really give any strong flavor on the broth. It was mild and less fragrant, but the toppings were incredibly tender. Personally, if I want to do a quick comparison on the pho only, I'd still prefer NamNam's. </div>

I am someone who never find Pad Thai to be good, but I like their quite much. It was very fragrant, especially after I squeezed out the lime on top of it. Definitely brings out a different overall taste.<br />
<br />
I can't really say much based on first visit, there were some good dishes, yet there were some that I feel need to be improved. Nevertheless, their padthai is the bomb and I am not hesitating on coming back for it. <br />

It always excites me whenever a new restaurant opened by a qualified F&B group, it means, at least I can partly have my high hopes upfront. Even though, things like that can't always be certain. Super Loco is a Mexican restaurant and bar managed by Union group and Singapore's Loco group. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It was Saturday afternoon when my girls and I went there. The place is smaller than I expected, but comes with a catchy design. I would recommend to have the seat at their semi open terrace where they have colorful couches and tables, just for a more Mexican cheerful kind of ambiance feel. Too bad, we were seated inside where the lights are yellow dimmed. One thing that I don't like about their seating arrangements is how they put too many tables in a small room. I hated it when the space between each tables are only separated by 4 inches, because people next to you can easily hear your conversation. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I'm sorry for the lack of interior images, but Super Loco was so crowded during our visit and I have always been hesitated in taking too many pictures when too many people are involved. </div>

The unfavorable thing was, we didn't know that during weekend they only serve brunch menu until 3.30pm then follow with snacks only until 5.30pm, left us to limited options. So the brunch menu don't have any other taco selections besides the <b>DIY (Do it Yourself) Taco Set IDR 250.000,-</b>. It said to be served up to three persons, but we feel it is only enough for 2. The taco set comes with only one choice of meat; pork belly/ beef/ chicken/ black beans for vegetarian. Served with guacamole, onion salsa, lettuce, chipotle mayo, cheese, hot sauce, lime. </div>

It was regrettable that the taco set can only choose for 1 main options, it would be preferable if the options can be stretched to two. Anyway, we chose pork belly and they were okay. The good and bad about a Do It Yourself taco is we can choose which sauces to be used in any preference we like, the not so good thing is the lack of knowledge of ours on which sauces or ingredients to be paired with that resulted in the overall taste. </div>

Aside for the way too caramelized onion on the top, the taco with that melted on your mouth short rib was superb. Too bad we came at the hours where the standard full menu wasn't being served, so we can't order any other taco menu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I personally feel the restrictions they have on which menu available for order during weekend is unnecessary. During weekend, they only serve brunch menu up to 3.30pm, then only snacks menu until 5.30pm. Or at least, if they need to have time restrictions on the menu, it will be good to be informed in advance during reservation, since not all restaurants come with this policy so customers might not be publicly aware. #justmytwocents</div>

Funny is, my favorite of the day was their appetizer, Totopos Y Salsas IDR 110.000,-. The corn chips, otherwise known as nachos comes with three dipping, guacamole, salsa roja and spicy pina salsa. The last one was seriously too good. Light, sour and spicy at the same time, making it a perfect dip over the corn chips. So good! </div>

People who grew up watching FRIENDS series would definitely feel so psyched with the opening of Central Perk cafe in Singapore. And by people, I mean me! I am definitely one of FRIENDS' biggest fan. My college years were filled with watching this series, and I was practically in bed with Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler. When the series ended on their 10th season, it didn't stop me from watching them. I have been rewatching the series for more than 50 times, I kid you not. For me, it is and will forever remain as my favorite and the best series ever made. </div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
Friends who know me well, especially my brother knows how devoted I am about FRIENDS. After the series ended, I replay it over and over from season 1 to season 10, and so again. I remember every single line of all episodes. It is the funniest series ever made, and despite I laughed a lot on Big Bag Theory and Modern Family too, but still, no one can ever replace FRIENDS as the best one. If you never watch the series, I seriously urge you too.</div>

I first read about the opening of Central Perk Singapore on December 2016, few days before my trip to Bangkok. Though it wasn't the first cafe in the world bringing the concept of exact replica of Central Perk Coffee Shop, but Singapore's is the closest one from Jakarta. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We spent our New Year's eve in Singapore, it was a super impromptu and unplanned trip, but very much anticipated since I can finally witness my all time favorite series off screen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Central Perk is located at Central Mall, Magazine Road. The cafe is divided into two sections, one is the restaurant where you will find the exact replica of Central Perk coffee shop, along with the trademark couches where the gank always sit on. The other section is the hall of every memorable place or items from the series.</div>

The menu here comes with names of the FRIENDS' characters and memorable line, take example Joey's You're My Everest turkey, Chandler's Thanksgiving chicken, Janice's Oh My God baby back ribs, Mrs. Bravermen's cheesecake and so on.<br />
<br />
We didn't order any main courses since we're here right after having breakfast, plus I feel the pricing is a tad pricey. So, we only went for the beverages and fries. They even use the same Rachel's big cup for the coffee. =)<br />

Dining goals is when I can have my meal with FRIENDS airing in the TV, just like what I often do at home, just like here at Central Perk where they have a huge screen TV playing over episodes of FRIENDS. <br />

To witness my all time favorite series off screen has been a really fun experience. If you are a FRIENDS' fan, a visit to Central Perk is highly recommended. You would definitely get that nostalgic feeling when you cracked up over the series. <br />

<i><b>Hello 2017!</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marking my first post in 2017 is this currently trending steamboat in Plaza Indonesia. Now, when I went there for our Saturday date last week, I uploaded them on Insta story and some of you leave me messages confusing on the location. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

There are indeed two different restaurants in Jakarta with the name "Eight Treasures". One is located in Wahid Hasyim area and another one is this new one that takes place in the 4th floor of Plaza Indonesia next to Taste Paradise. Since both of them serve Chinese cuisines, some people might be misled to the one in Sarinah. Do note if what you have in mind is the one with their signature beef presented in a way like drying laundry, then the Eight Treasures in Plaza Indonesia, the one I'm writing right now is what you're looking for. </div>

Eight Treasures is a semi upscale steamboat restaurant. Quoting from the menu book, they seek to improve wellness with a clever use of Traditional Chinese health techniques int a unique dining experience, where herbal medicines are creatively adopted into healthy gourmet soup bases. Eight Treasures guarantee they use only the finest ingredients which means natural herbs, fresh plucked vegetables, quality meat and sweet ocean fresh seafood. In short, you get what you paid for. </div>

I personally like the interior. Classy in a semi "atas" Chinese way though some might argue that the paintings of Chinese ladies aren't necessary, but I feel they complement the whole interior. The restaurant itself isn't exactly big so reservation in advance might be needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They serve only steamboat in ala carte, so it is not an all you can eat dining, though they do have some package options for easier choice. The soup base here are all nourishing type of soups, Cartilage soup, Szechuan "mala" spicy soup, Herbal chicken soup and Chicken/ African coconut soup. The soup base will be served in individual pot. </div>

Hubs and I chose the package of <b>Treasure B (IDR 688.000++)</b>, and since we are greedy, we added extra additional items of <b>US Angus prime short ribs (150gr) IDR 168.000,-</b> and <b>Canada Fresh Scallop (150gr) 168.000,-. </b></div>

I'll show you what items are included in the package of Treasures B. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>SOUP BASE</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of 4 options, we chose the Nourishing cartilage soup and Szechuan "Mala" spicy soup. The first one (white) is their signature shark cartilage soup, brewed for over 12 hours and rich in collagen, a protein famous for youth rejuvenation, cancer treatment, improve metabolism & joint flexibility and promotes better sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite all the healthy facts, we personally dislike the taste. But it'll suits your tastebuds if you are someone who enjoy healthy Chinese herbs. I would recommend more on the Mala soup. Bold and rich. </div>

Price range is somewhere between semi upscale. The vegetables ranging from 18k - 58k per plate, dumpling and meatballs starts from 32k per plate & meat and seafood from 88k - 268k. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now the verdict. It was okay, the quality of the meat and seafood indeed were beyond good, and that Angus short ribs just melted in your mouth. Overall we had a decent dinner but not something like very very tasty one. Nevertheless, this place fits right in when you want to have a healthy and fresh Chinese steamboat. </div>

Since I am still working through hundreds of pictures from my Japan
trip, let's start with something less editing stressful. I bought quite
many snacks to bring home though of course, there are many many other
snacks that I didn't buy. I'm going to show you only what snacks I
bought, where to buy and whether they are recommended or not. And no,
I'm not crazy, most of them were for my family, my nieces, nephews and
friends, they were not all for me. </div>

Tokyo Banana is the most popular snacks
in Japan. If you have no idea what it is, Tokyo banana is a light and
fluffy sponge cake with cream filling. It started with the original
flavor, which is banana cream, but now due to the popularity, they have
various other choices such as maple, chocolate banana, caramel custard,
they even have the brownies, biscuits and baumkuchen types now, not only
the cakes. The pricing starts from 4pcs at 468 Yen to 16pcs at 2057
Yen. For complete flavors and price, click <a href="http://www.tokyobanana.jp/language/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personally, I am not too fond into Tokyo Banana. I mean, they are good,
the cake like every Japanese cake was light, soft and fluffy, but to me,
nothing really special so I didn't buy any for myself. I bought 4 boxes
but they were all for friends and family. Still, if you never try one,
it's mandatory to do so. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b>Where to buy?</b></u> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You
can buy Tokyo Banana at Tokyo station, Haneda airport, Narita airport
and Tokyo Sky Tree. We bought ours at Tokyo station, and they don't have
the caramel custard and banana chocolate flavors there. The sales
person told us the specific flavors only available at Tokyo Sky Tree,
but I remember I saw them at souvenir shop in Haneda airport too. </div>

You simply have to purchase some Kit Kats and Pocky, not only because
they are so sinfully tasty, but because only in Japan you'll find
exclusively Japan available flavors like wasabi, strawberry cheese cake
for Kit Kat, or tons of flavors of Pocky shown in the picture above. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I
am a sucker for Pocky, so I love them all but I don't like the giant
ones with all those fruit flavors. I bought them at around 1000 Yen (IDR
128.000,-) per pack at Little Osaka Dotonburi, at Haneda only 800 Yen.
It all comes down to preferences, but I personally like the normal size
pocky better. </div>

As a potato person and not really a sweet tooth, I am always leaning
towards more to savory snacks rather than sweet ones. None of the
Calbee's I purchased that I don't like, but my favorites are the Jaga
Crispy, Jaga Pokkuru (800 Yen) and the Big bag chips. Do consider the
expiry date, Calbee's products all comes with short expiry, normally 3
months since manufacture date, so don't buy too much unless you sure you
can finish them before the expiry date. I ended threw away some of mine
since I bought too much and I'm not really the type of person that
snacks on daily basis. </div>

Note: I think Jaga Pokkuru can only be found at Tokyo's Airport, either Narita or Haneda.<br />

price in Jakarta. Their Nama chocolate is only 760 Yen (IDR 98.000,-) if
I remember correctly, in Jakarta the price is IDR 225.000,- per box.
Too bad they can only hold about 6-7 hours outside refrigerator, you can
ask them to pack it with dry ice, but since we took Cathay Pacific and
transit in HK, we cannot bring these babies home. We only buy the potato
chips 720 Yen, and they are soooo gooood! </div>

I love Japanese instant noodles. If I could I would bring home the

Ippudo and Ichiran instant ramen. Now, I didn't buy Ichiran in Japan. As
this post written, Ichiran instant ramen is only available for sale in
their outlets in Fukuoka and Hong Kong. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you ask me,
Ichiran one is a disappointment. Didn't come with pork slices, no
condiments at all. Flavor wise is good, flavorful broth, but nothing
like the real one. I'd choose Ippudo instant ramen better. It comes with
1 slice of char su and flavor wise is tastier than Ichiran. </div>

Many people go to Japan and buy tons of skin cares. I don't really do
heavy make up and I learned my lesson from our previous Korea trip.
When we went to Seoul, I bought tons of skin cares, literally, I bought
like so many and ended to not using almost all of them and they all
wasted to garbage. So, I've learned my lesson this time to not buy any
skin care unless the ones that I do use. When I saw that SK-II is not
exactly cheap in Japan, I only bought two packs of Lululun face masks,
eye liners since I can't live without them and Hada Labo toner which I
regretted to only buy 1 bottle, the toner is crazily good and
affordable. I also bought these packs of down fever patches for my baby
nephew, not that I wish him to get fever, but precaution is better
right? Oh if you have kids or nephews nieces you like to spoiled, there is a toy store in Ginza, Hakuhinkan, you should check. It is 5 storey with many choices of toys to purchase, that's where I bought toys for my nephew. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A short post on what we ate during our last SG trip. Don't expect any trending cafes since we didn't go to any. It's funny how I changed so much now that I'm not really into the rapidly growth food scenes. Normally my trip to SG won't be complete without visiting few of the trending spots, but now I am more into locals and food that I do enjoy rather than wasting my tummy space for fancy cafes' typical food, not that I won't be going there for good, it just won't be my priority anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two of SG's local food that I never missed out no matter how many times I visit the city are Mee pok and Laksa. I love those two so much, sure I like trying out the trending places in town too, but nothing beats having local food when you're traveling. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes Singapore has tons of places selling mee pok, some of my favorites are The Fishball Story, Song Kee at Lau Pa Sat or the recently michelin star awarded, Hill Street at Crawford Lane. But, there's one place that is as good yet conveniently located, one that I always go whenever I don't feel the trouble of going to those Kopi Tiams for a bowl of mee pok. </div>

<u><b>Li Xin Teo Chew Fish Ball Noodles</b> </u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This one is conveniently located at basement floor of Ion Orchard, inside Food Opera. Their bouncy fish balls are seriously the best! You can choose the type of noodles, and they mixed it with their signature sauce so you don't need to do all the stir. Deliciously humble!</div>

<u><b>People's Park Complex </b></u><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are someone like my parents, devoted Durian lovers, I recommend you to go to People's Park Complex at Chinatown area for a good yet reasonably priced Musang King durian. Most people will go to Geylang or Bugis, but I think the ones at People's Park are cheaper. Though of course, as you might know, Musang king durian has levels too, therefor the pricing also depends on that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I forgot to take pictures of the durians (follow me on snapchat @ivys_life, since I often forget take pictures with camera during travels). Anyway, if you do go here, take a little tour to the food complex on the ground floor coz they sell the best Teh Peng (Iced teh tarik). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now.. On those Laksa subject. I know people tend to go to the popular Katong Laksa for their laksa fixed, but I personally leaning more to the laksa at Yong Tou Fu stalls which you can find at almost every shopping mall's food court. I like their version better because the broth is so so so good, thick and flavorful, plus we can choose the condiments from meat, seafood, meatballs to vegetables, unlike Katong laksa that only comes with cockles. </div>

You see that plate of Char Kway Teow that looks more like worms? That is<b> </b>Singapore's signature CKT (Char Kway Teow). Zion Road CKT has always been in the top list of the best CKT in town, especially since Singapore's prime minister claimed that theirs are his favorite. The queuing line has always been crazy. I waited for I think a good 30 minutes for this, and was it worth it? Personally, it wasn't bad but I don't think it should be the kind of CKT that die die must try, it was a bit lack of flavor, but probably it's a matter of preferences since the crowds seem to love them. </div>

The only restaurant we went to on this trip is this popular pizzeria by Chef Mario Batali. Famous for its signature pizza, I actually feel it was more overrated than great. Don't get me wrong, it was a fine pizza, thick chewy dough just the way I like them, I hate thin crust pizza, it just missing that little "oomph.." to get me impressed. The chicken liver bruschette however was just brilliantly gooood! The bread was crunchy toasted and that well balanced chicken liver was terrific. A dish I would strongly recommend you to order. </div>
