I will try to update my blog as much as I can within this week because next week or the following month will not have internet access or time to update... going to travel around Japan for 3 weeks and stopover at Seoul, Korea for 1 week. The stopover fees is quite cheap tho, like MYR82 and I could just travel around. Maybe next time you could do that for yourself... then design your own itinerary ;)
Japanese cuisine is well known around the world. But this ain't just sushi ok? =) There are many other food could be offered. Just like confectionery!!!
LeTao I found it every where in Hokkaido, not sure it got branch or not in Tokyo or Nagoya... haven't have the chance to try it myself. One thing surprise me is.. the shop has takkyubin service (delivery service) within Japan itself -_-" Im imagining... if I purposely deliver keropok lekor all the way from Terengganu to Kuala Lumpur... just feel weird and no idea why. Well Japanese love to do takkyubin service for anything and that's those courier company or service is thumbs up!
Another thing we can't resist are window shopping and camwhoring. I look like cancer patient T.T getting fairer each day during my stay in Japan. Enjoying the winter and the snow without the sun for 4 months... and this is what am I becoming~And then is LUNCH TIME. Just walked into one of the shopping mall and found a random restaurant and had this...
We came to another 'Lou Zi Hou' at the popular street. He only serves one type of confectionery - Bread with Red Bean Paste. How should I describe it? Kinda hard to explain. Perhaps pictures could tell you better~
The maker or owner of the shop. The first time we came, have to wait for 30 minutes for his preparation. He was preparing the batter and red bean paste - Japanese = perfectionist? We left because we were running outta time. But this time we wait patiently, just to try!
I am not sure how old is this shop and for me, this is very authentic. Check out the interior design. The shop is pass down by generation. I assumed he is the 2nd generation... not sure if anyone or his son will continue his career? Is quite difficult these days~
Tempura Soba - is healthy and tasteless at the same time. Oh well, that's soba
The server has difficulties to take order from us and we had no idea how to read the Japanese menu. So the solution is look at those food display and pick which one you wanna order.
Kamaboko - any fried food you can find here
the name of the shop is Kamae
Then walked to another confectionery shop. Was thinking of buying something from Otaru for staff house
Cutie!
more likely layer cake to me
Dango with different flavour: green tea, red bean, soy sauce and sesame. Something special for staff house.
Eat for free =p Shopkeeper treat all their customers.
