The streets of Tokyo were nearing empty. Or maybe just in this stretch from Haneda to Shinagawa. I watch the storefronts go by, mostly convenience stores I would find myself in over the next few days, over the next few cities. I think to myself, so this is Japan. And it was, and it wasn’t just.
I’ve said this a million times, I loooove Japanese food. Lucky for me, my boyfriend shares the same liking. We could eat Japanese food everyday and you won’t hear us complain. One of our go-to’s is Fish Mart Sakuraya. I first learned of this place on my first year in Singapore when my boss and some colleagues…
My cousin recently visited Singapore, and together with my aunt, we met up by a Singapore icon, the Merlion. After taking the obligatory photos, we were faced with the dilemma of where to eat. When you’re with a tourist, the dilemma becomes 100x more harder coz you want them to try something really good whereas when…
I love food. If you’ve scrolled through my Instagram, you may have even seen my new hashtag: #heyrockEATgirl. So witty, noh? Hahaha Seriously though, food is always one of the things I look forward to when traveling (or even in life in general, ssh!). Aside from authentic local dishes, a culture’s take on other cuisines is…
Let’s admit it, wherever in the world you are, Japanese food is always pricier than average. In fact, one of the priciest meals you can ever have on Earth is a ￥30,000 (or USD241 or SGD340 or PHP11,156) sushi tasting at Jiro Ono’s Three Michelin starred Sukiyabashi Jiro. All the hype around it makes it a…
I often tell my boyfriend how glad I am that he loves Japanese food. Mostly because there are times we can’t think of what to have for dinner that we end up going on our default mode – even if we just had Japanese a couple of nights ago. The other times because it makes…
Ramen is so big these days that shops just keep on sprouting not just in Manila but also here in Singapore. I looove Japanese food, but I’ll be honest, ramen isn’t really at the top of my list. I mean, I do appreciate me a good bowl, but I’d take sushi and katsus over it…
One of the usual questions people asked me back in Manila is what I usually eat in Singapore. People are surprised when my response is “japanese” coz this city is famous for hawkers. It’s not that I don’t like hawkers, it’s just that the freedom that comes with living alone and earning your own moolah…
A foodie photo diary of one of my favorite places in Singapore – Saboten over at Changi Airport Terminal 1. My boyfriend and I love our japanese food so we often take advantage of the Changi staff menu available to airport pass holders. Not only is it close to work, the staff is friendly and…
I used to joke about wanting to marry a half-Italian half-Japanese man who loves to cook so I can eat yummy traditional Italian/Japanese food all day everyday. Yep, I love these two cuisines that much. I’ve long since given up that dream (good bye volumes of family recipes, *tear*) but I’ve come to the conclusion…
I’m sure by now, most of you have already heard about the latest – and yummiest – Japanese resto, Yabu. It’s been open for a couple of months now and if you haven’t tried their authentic, melts in your mouth, katsus yet then I suggest you head to Mega Mall as soon as possible! If…
