Tokyo : Day 3 : Harajuku

Harajuku is one of my favourite places in Japan. It is also home to one of the most important shrine, the Meiji Shrine, built in loving memory of the Emperor and Empress Meiji. Takeshita Dori and Omotessandori are two popular spots in Harajuku. While Takeshita Dori is for youngsters looking for good bargains such as bags and accessories, Omotessandori caters to a more sophisticated young crowd, the yuppies.

we went on a little adventure while we were at harajuku...


we were searching high and low for this 'insider only' gyoza place and when we finally did, it was worth every sweat! it is located behind the popular omotessan dori street.


just beside the gyoza shop was this popular asian cuisine restaurant serving asian food from almost all over the world except malaysia.

More From Ginza, Tokyo

more from ginza...


one of the many suppers i had in ginza, all thanks to not one but THREE convenience stores strategically located opposite the hotel hehe


belgian waffles (not very nice)


the soft drinks in japan are not sweet at all, making them even more wonderful to drink at all times without risking diabetes!

Konnichiwa~ Tokyo : Day 1 (Ginza)

girls, you MUST visit japan at least ONCE before you die. it may be dubbed one of the (or is it THE) most expensive city in the world but i tell you, every yen is worth the experience especially the food. everything is of the best quality, it's a good thing japs are fussy...we benefit!


JAL pre-introducing japan to us...it was really tasty!


pick your poison on JAL
impressive drinks selection onboard no?


i call this meat&eggy rice
lunch was ordered via a vending machine, now my japan experience has officially started...it was around 700+ yen (rm21-rm25)


sukiyaki & shabu shabu buffet
dinner was fantastic! it was the most expensive meal i had in tokyo but it was worth every yen! (around rm 100+ per person)


the thin meat slices were so fine and just so fresh! straight from the boiling sauce/water and straight into raw egg...the taste...the omfg taste in your mouth is just bursting with so much goodness that i couldn't believe i just ate beef and raw egg! (girls, you know i don't fancy anything but chicken meat and raw egg? i couldn't even tolerate oozing yolk of a fried egg, let alone raw) and i find myself 'kiap-ing' another slice!
