Always in search of the exotic and funky stuffs to eat, how could I not eat fugu (puffer fish) since I’m in Japan now?? 🙂
BELOW: Yes this is how they (fugu fish) looked like!
I have just completed my post about my first day in Japan. Moving on, as I prepare my 2nd day’s posting I realized just this ramen alone warrants a dedicated blog post.
Ichiran is a famous ramen chain in Tokyo. It is 24 hours (yes 24 hours ramen slurping goodness!) and its unconventional dining ways (or maybe unconventional just to us Malaysians) is something that I want to share here. 🙂
First of all, the shop that I dined in was just at Ueno Station (still in Tokyo Japan) itself. I remember just walking out of the station (not sure which exit) and here it is!
The queue was long even though it was way pass dinner time.
The queue was not just to wait for a seat. It was to first order via a machine and pay.

I’m slowly but surely getting to post about my Japan trip. I’m still in Japan, though the Tokyo part is over. I’m now in Osaka; where everything is CHEAPER and I’ll be exploring the Kansai area over the next few days. But here goes, a day by day chronicle of my Japan adventure. Enjoy! 🙂
On the 1st day in Japan, I spent the night at the airport. More of that will be in another blogpost. Spending a night at the airport is an adventure itself! 🙂
HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone! :DD
Konichiwa from Japan! How are you celebrating Halloween? As you know might know, I’m in Japan currently.
Halloween is a big thing in Japan. I was in Tokyo since 25th Oct and from pastry shops to Burger King and kiosks at the subway stations there are Halloween inspired merchandise on sale. The pastry and cakes shops here displays really cute cakes, cookies, puddings, tarts and confectioneries with pumpkin designs.

If you arrive via Air Asia X, you will land at Haneda Airport at 10.30pm or thereabouts (accurate as of time of writing). Once you have cleared immigration, custom check and grabbed you bag (all in the 2nd floor), proceed to the 3rd floor of the arrival hall.
Look for Softbank booth or just ask any of the officials on duty. There are information booths at the 2nd (arrival floor) and 3rd floor. Everyone I spoke to are all very friendly, helpful and they speak good English.
