SKR: Asiana Business Class Lounge (Central) @ Incheon International Airport

Image
Deliciously crispy Korean fried chicken! After a short hop from Osaka, Japan with Asiana Airlines OZ111 , my BFFs and I had slightly less than 3 hours of transit at Incheon International Airport in South Korea. Before flying with OZ761 in the Business Class to Jakarta, Indonesia, we spent some time at one of the lounges to relax and have a quick bite.

SKR: Asiana Airlines OZ111 (Business)

Cloudy 'makgeolli' drink onboard, anyone? My BFFs and I left Osaka, Japan not with a Japanese airline, but with the second largest airline of South Korea. Asiana Airlines OZ111 brought us to Incheon International Airport in South Korea for a period of transit before we continued our journey to Jakarta, Indonesia. Lunch was served onboard at 11.30am.

JPN: ANA Lounge @ Kansai International Airport

Image
Limited buffet spread in a crammed lounge... The day when we'd be leaving Japan finally came. As we'd be flying with a Star Alliance airline in the Business Class, we were granted access to ANA lounge at Kansai International Airport. The not-so-spacious lounge was really crowded that morning, but thankfully we managed to get some seats to have a quick breakfast.

JPN: Nakau (なか卯)

Image
Appetisingly fragrant char-grilled 'oyako don'! We've finally come to the last dinner in Japan during the December 2019 trip. As we'd be leaving Japan from Kansai International Airport, my BFFs and I left Kobe with a heavy heart for Izumisano in Osaka Prefecture. For the very first time, I noticed a branch of Nakau, a chain of quick service restaurants owned by Zensho Holdings that also runs Sukiya .

JPN: Sai Dining (彩ダイニング)

Image
My first taste of the heavenly Kobe beef! A delicacy prized for its flavour and fatty, well-marbled texture, Kobe beef comes from Japanese Black cattle of the Tajima strain. It's considered one of the top three types of Japanese beef, along with Matsusaka beef and Omi beef. It was at Sai Dining where I had my virgin experience with the meat, which was grilled and flambéed before my eyes.

JPN: Bao Bao (パオパオ)

Image
Where you can get a view of the elephants, especially during feeding time! Have you been to Kobe Oji Zoo in Japan? Though a bit dated, it's an amazing zoo where my BFFs and I stayed longer than we thought we'd be. Before leaving, we had a late lunch at 3.00pm at Bao Bao, a self-service family restaurant. As we got ourselves a window seat, we could observe the nearby elephants being fed while we gobbled our meal.

JPN: Yoshinoya (𠮷野家)

Image
Better than the ones here in Singapore! :P First opened at Nihonbashi fish market in Tokyo, Japan in 1899, Yoshinoya is one of the biggest chain of beef bowl restaurants, second only to Sukiya . Since 1975, it has expanded its business overseas with the USA as its first target. After visiting Sukiya and Matsuya  numerous times in Japan, I finally decided to try Yoshinoya for the first time last year in Kobe.

Stuff yourself silly at Kobe's Chinatown! Hi, everyone! After an intense period of work due to the current COVID-19 situation, I'm finally able to update my blog once again. Let's stay home and stay safe together. In today's post, let's look at Nankinmachi, a compact Chinatown in Kobe, Japan jam-packed with lots of food options.

Trying Arabic coffee for the very first time in my life! After having a moment of relaxation at the SkyTeam Lounge at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, it was finally time for my BFF and me to leave Turkey. Our virgin experience with Saudia, the flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was a memorable one. Let's take a look at what were served for Business Class passengers on the short-haul flight from Istanbul to Jeddah.

Where you can find the "world famous peameal bacon on a bun"! Originally opened in 1902, St. Lawrence Market is an iconic public market in Toronto, Canada, a culinary hotspot showcasing more than 120 merchants. The current building incorporates one that was once home to the first permanent city hall and jailhouse that operated from 1845 to 1899.
