{Japan Winter} Kyoto (Part 7): Savouring the many food & desserts of Kyoto
I’ve talked a lot about Kyoto’s beautiful temples and serene walking routes, but not too much about food (apart from the Kyoto Ninja & Nishiki Market post)… So I think it’s about time we concentrate on the food and desserts that make Kyoto even more alluring… A taste of Gion Gion is one of the most popular areas in Kyoto, Japan. And I totally get why… The main roads are filled with shops and bright …
{Japan Winter} Kyoto (Part 6): Food crawling like a Ninja around Nishiki Market
Kyoto is beautiful. Almost everyone can vouch for that. But did you know that Kyoto has some of the yummiest food in Japan? We didn’t even get to experience many of them. In fact, there were plenty of Michelin star restaurants that I wish we could try, but due to time and money constraints, I’d say: there’s always a next time! ;) What we did get to experience though… Ninja Kyoto Introducing the Ninja Kyoto Restaurant. It’s not …

It has to be the number of festivals held in various places at any given time in …
{Japan 2012} Day 7: Tokyo – Shinjuku
Exploring new cities has never been my passion. I’m not so much interested in travelling for the most part. There are only a number of places in this world that I’d say: yeah, one day I wanna go there. Japan has always been one of them. So when the hubby and I got married last year, we decided to make that dream a reality (he, too, wants to visit the land of the rising sun). …
Celebrating my birthday ala Japanese in Melbourne
Last year, I celebrated my birthday in Japan. In fact, I spent half of it in Kyoto and the other half in Tokyo. And it wasn’t just any other trip, it was the honeymoon. What a birthday, huh! So this year, I decided that I should re-live my Japan birthday celebration by going around Melbourne and doing some very typical Japanese things. It was heaps of fun as the hubby and I walked (and drove) around …
