Japan trip Part I

TADAIMA!!

Woosh.. feels great to be back home!! Tho is like back to reality.. sobzz!

Hmm.. japan was fun. But it's not as fun as expected la. Perhaps placed too much expectations on the trip. All in all, it was definitely a place i would like to visit again. Now to share, what i've seen; What i've learnt; What i've tried. Enjoy~~

[ 日本の旅 Part I ]

1) High-tech toilets

First time experiencing wash/soap/dry hands in the same sink. And also wash/dry butt in the toilet seat! You gotta admire how these Japanese really noe how to enjoy life. Oh! And also, their toilets are really clean. Even those ulu pandan public toilets, you can be sure there's definitely enough toilet paper for you! *claps claps*

2) To-die-for sweet treats

They're so generous with their testing portions that one round in the supermarket can you 1 meal!

With everything so nicely packaged, i had to resist the urge to buy everything back to share with you guys. Sighz.. but then again. The urge wasn't so difficult to resist since all the prices were such eye-sores.

3) Damn expensive fruits

But delicious nonetheless! Don't underestimate these normal looking peaches. They're HUGE.

The grapes were the best. I would never have imagined the grapes could ignite the taste of grape wine on my taste buds. Gosh.. i feel high everytime i took a bite!

The Hokkaido rockmelons are crazy. One melon the size of a soccer ball costs ard (make a guess) s$70! O.o" Which makes me wonder... do Japanese eat fruits?!?

4) もち MOCHI!!

Presenting my ultimate fav!! These are glutinous rice balls filled with red bean (most common) aka 豆大福, or choco, various flavours etc.

The one shown here can only be found at 1 location in Sapporo (according to the guide). It's mochi wrapped with... *gasp*.... strawberry cake!!!

Gawd. It was sooo delicious!! See the white powdery stuffs on top? It would have been flour for most mochi but NO. It's icing sugar here! Sink your teeth into it, and you can feel the chewiness of the fresh mochi entwined with the soft butter cake slapped on with generous portion of fresh whipped cream & strawberries.

1 word. Heavenly.
