Sapporo: The Vibrant City of Hokkaido (And Where to Stay)

Now, let's head to Hokkaido. First stop: Sapporo. 

Falling in Love with Yokohama's Charm

I've been hesitating to visit Yokohama since my first visit to Japan though it is conveniently close to Tokyo. I thought that this city was not special, until I finally visited Yokohama last month. I fell in love with this city!

Starbucks Reserve® Roastery Tokyo

I think the highlight of my Tokyo trip was visiting Starbucks Reserve Roastery. I read somewhere that it is the largest Starbucks Reserve Roastery in the world by now, even larger than the one in Shanghai. The building is located in Meguro, which felt a bit different from the other districts I visited before in Tokyo. 

I saw Meguro as a hip area where small coffee shops and local boutiques are aligning along the river. It was Sunday night and the area was quite quiet compared to the ever busy areas like Shibuya or Shinjuku.

We alighted at the Naka-Meguro Station, and the maps said that we needed to walk around 12 minutes to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. But guess what? We arrived around an hour because we stopped by The Alley to try their boba drinks and a tonkatsu restaurant called Fujiki to have dinner.

Reasons to Stay Around Asakusa (or not)

On my previous visits to Tokyo, I stayed around Shin-Okubo/Shinjuku area. This time, I stayed in Asakusa for a different vibe. So, is it recommended to stay in Asakusa? And what to do around this area? Find out more here.

My Third Japan Trip - The Intro

Farm Tomita, Furano

I think I haven't finished writing about my 2017 Japan trip yet, and I went to Japan for the third time already. Well, I hope this time I will write more diligently *finger crossed*. Before I sort out on what to write, let me do the intro upon this trip.

Air Conditioned Floating Market in Bangkok ? SOOKSIAM Got You Covered!

Pardon me for my lack of posts, and thank you to those who's still waiting for my posts by DM or dropping comments. I'm still here guys, just lacking the will to write these past few years, and also lacking the interest to explore this city food scene and write reviews about it. So well, rather than having so much excuses, I'll just post anything I feel like posting. 

So I went to Bangkok last month and I feel like this place worth to write.  Since the weather was so hot and humid on my last visit, well 2 years ago I also visited this city around this time but I do not remember Bangkok being this hot 37°C-38°C average daily, event 35°C on the evening, it was such a hassle to visit Bangkok's outdoor scene like temples, markets, and else. So I found this perfect place to visit when you are craving for traditional food and also street food without having to battle the heat.

My Personal Comfort Food Choices Around Hong Kong & Macau

This post will cover my food journey on my latest Hong Kong-Macau short trip a few months ago. Yeah, it's been a while since my last Hong Kong trip, 5 years exactly. This post will be useful for those who are not too ambitious about trying new and hype food, and cherish comfort food more than anything. Well, that's me as I am getting older. Fiuh.
