Food to try at Hakata: 天一, Doutor, Chikae Fukuoka; Yatai Mamichan 屋台まみちゃん

Dinner at 天一

Arrived late to Nishidori and returned our car rental. We went to the restaurant with the entire family in tow. Food is served very fast. Great as we are hungry and thirsty.

The ladies and kids meal is the most value for money. Food is above average.

Dinner at Tenjin underground tunnel

We have shopped too much today and it is 8 pm. Most of the restaurants are winding up and this is still open.

I'm most impressed by their service. I accidently pour miso soup on my white top and pants. They promptly give a new clean white tea towel to wipe myself. I'm so grateful to the waiter for his thoughtfulness.

Tonkatsu is well fried and have different size meals to cater for all.

Breakfast at Doutor

The fare served here is simple. Coffee and toasts.

But the pairing of scrambled eggs made to perfection with ham on toasted bread in a cold winter day is heavenly.

Must try Live squid at Chikae Fukuoka

2 Chome-2-17 Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, 810-0041, Japan

My original plan was to try the renowned stall Kawataro Nakasu but they seemed to be disinterested in catering to tourists. Was told appointments is full for the next 2 days i.e friday and saturday.

Well we reached Chikae Fukuoka late at 2 plus and i thought we probably wont get a chance to eat my live squid but we are promptly ushered in and given the menu.

Of course, the must order menu is the live squid. Unfortunately, there is only large squids available so large squid it is. But really, its too huge for 3 persons. At least we get to eat the squid 4 ways. Live sashimi, grilled, tempura and karaage style.

We also ordered a beef bun each and also a teishoku set meal. It is a satisfying meal.

Must try Yatai stalls: Yatai Mamichan 屋台まみちゃん

Japan, 〒810-0001 Fukuoka, Chuo Ward, Tenjin, 2 Chome−13−1 福岡銀行本店営業部昭和通り側

In my opinion not really suited for young kids and elderly as sitting is quite tight and not exactly comfortable.

Nonetheless, I'm truly amazed by the store owner who cooks, concoct the drinks, and settle bills. All done at lightning speed.

Food is pretty delicious and seeing the food being cooked up close give me new ideas for my own dinner recipes. e.g mentaiko in omelette or bonito flakes in omelette.

We tried the omelette, onden, fried rice, gyoza (freshly made on spot) and chicken wings. i love the omelette and gyoza the most.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Wedding solemnisation at Chijmes - Review

Having a romantic church wedding is the dream of every girl, myself included. But unless you're a christian, its almost impossible to hold your wedding solemnisation at a church. In japan, the church wedding concept is very prevalent and it comes at a price. One such place is Hotel Monterey Kyoto with a "church" extension that can fulfill a bride-to-be dream church wedding. So if we love to hold a wedding at a chapel in Singapore, Chijmes is the place to go. Chijmes is a beautifully structure historic building complex in Singapore that has been gazetted as a national monumnet. It once housed a Catholic convent school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) and their convent quarters known as Caldwell House. It has been restored for commercial purposes, such as shopping, dining and an entertainment centre. Here is the views of the former church decorated as a solemnisation venue. For solemnisation, the 2 aisles will serve as the d...
