osaka + kyoto +baking
wheehehee (: i did some baking today. made cupcakes with evelyn's recipe. hehehee. okok. time to recount on osaka and kyoto. i shall do a photo recount. be warned: alot of pictures coming up!
mummy & i on the haruka lmtd express from kansai airport to osaka. it was super funt train-ing everywhere. esp since e routes were those long dist types, where u only stop like once in half an hour thing. so it was really peaceful & nice.
our food haul from the osaka dept stores (: meheheheee. i love their food halls.
photo-whoring outside osaka-jo koen station. e nearest train station to our hotel (:
mummy & i! little miss sunshines hates the sun. smirks. i love my shades!
omggg. can u see how marbled the beef are :DDDD kobe beef. mehehehe.
shopping in shinsaibashi! osaka is seriously damn good for shopping (: ahahaha. walked my feet off doing so much shopping. heheee. trust me when i say i did ALOT of shopping. grins.
we took a break after awhile in macs. ordered a small coked -.- and my eyes almost popped out when the girl handed me this small cup. ahaha, freaking ex coke, but oh so cute no?
more of shinsaibashi. it was a saturday. so the crowds were out. the girls were all so well dressed and made up! i like ppl who take pride in their appearances (: call me superficial, but i think ppl who scorn those who dress well, calling them materialistic are bloody annoying. dressing like a moron doesn't make you smarter -.-
america-mura. or america town (: hahaha, was a tad bit overdone and tacky for my liking.
e next day. my hogan flats (: i decided that since i was in japan, i'd might as well go jap. hehee, my hair was piled on top of my head like e jap girls. plus thick eyeliner & tights.
mummy and i (:
i love the old nostalgic feeling of trains (: plus that it doesn't get me motion sick :p
the bright lights in dotombori, osaka! haha. the strip is hilarious actually.
if u can't see it clearly, this menu in this DAMN GOOD SUSHI RESTAURANT, reads 'i warm an octopus & vegetables by the kombo soup stock which i excited. and i can stick to juice pressed from a bitter orange, and please have it.' ahahahaha. it was bloody hilarious. i was trying super hard to stop laughing at e menu :p
another one! 'i picked up an eel with an eggplant and made it tempura and wore grated radish & soy sauce'. very funny!
salmon, yellowtail & tuna belly sashimi = LOVEEEEEEEEEEE!
this extremely cute elderly couple from nara (: haha.
the kansai region's known for their tofu :D so had to have some grilled tofu with diff types of miso paste!
it was also unagi season. so there was like eel everywhere, but it was soooooo good. swoons (:
the bright lights in dotombori (:
nobody does strawberry shortcake like the japanese. its love i tell you (:
aren't these mushrooms the cutest things (: ahahaha. i took pic of them esp for my darling mushroom-lover mingkie-poo (alliteration)
hehee, these are how my nails look like now (: pretty?
mummy and i in kyoto. we were having dinner at this restaurant which was e branch of e one that created teppanyaki! hence the aprons. hehh.
kobe beef on teppanyaki. omg, this is seriously the most sinful edible thing. haha, those are fried garlic slices on top. yummyyyyy.
e next day we went to the famous nishiki market in kyoto. it was so freaking hot that we had to pop into this adorable teahouse for dessert (: haha. each table had their own grinder-thingy, where u were given roasted black beans and then u put into this thing and grind in into powder e old fashion way. then u sprinkle the powder on top of the mochi or jellies. yummmy.
the green tea ice with red bean, mochi & soft serve ice cream was HEAVEN. hahaha, am i making many ppl hungry?
we went to gion next. this is the golden pavillion shrine/temple atop of this hill on gion. my mum & i were dripping sweat by e time we climbed up -.- but i think the shrines and temples in kyoto are just lovely. that's why i love japan so much actually, its a wonderful combination of everything old and traditional and the ultra-modern technology. i lovee it!
was really lucky and bumped into a few geishas that day :DDD hahaha i love this picture i took of their backs as they walked off with gion & kyoto in the background. there's something so mysterious about them.
me & 2 geishas :D i bought myself 2 cotton kimonos! heheheee.
a traditional street in gion (:
we stayed in a hotel that was just situated above the kyoto train station. which was really cool, cos the hotel built itself around the structure of e train station which is really modern, made of glass & metal. this was on the sky bridge in our hotel (:
on the train back to kansai airport from kyoto!
okkk (: now on to my baking i did today. heheee.
chocolate cupcakes with nutella icing on the left (: and coffee cupcakes on the right. YAY TO EVELYN FOR HER RECIPE!!! hahaha, do i live up to your standards dear?
chocolate cupcake with nutella frosting.
coffee cupcakes!
yet & i with her star shaped cupcake i made specially for her. heheee.
: the winner takes it all :: abba :
