JPN: Sarashina (更科)

Image
Totally wasn't expecting the jumbo-sized 'tonkatsu'! As I stepped into yet another prefecture in the Kansai region of Japan, my very first meal in Wakayama was nothing short of delightful. The humble flagship store of Sarashina, a family-run establishment located not far from Wakayama station, was a truly serendipitous find that afternoon.

JPN: Mikasa Ryokan (三笠旅館) [Breakfast]

Image
Does anybody know the exact name of the roasted rice congee dish? Following a sumptuous dinner, a restful night's sleep and a thoroughly enjoyable soak in the hot bath the following morning, the anticipation for breakfast at Mikasa Ryokan in Nara heightened. I've always enjoyed Japanese breakfast, where the symphony of rice, soup, protein and vegetables provides a nutritious and satisfying start to the day.

Take your pick: beef or seafood? After spending a night at Henn-na Hotel Nara , my family and I moved on to the slopes of Mount Wakakusa, finding solace and culinary delight at Mikasa Ryokan. Opting for a half-board plan, we had a memorable dinner where each dish was meticulously prepared and served with the grace of traditional Japanese hospitality.

JPN: Henn-na Hotel Nara (変なホテル奈良) [Breakfast]

Image
Not Japanese, but simple French dishes for breakfast~ Happy New Year, folks! Ever since I heard about the world's first hotel run by robots in 2015, I'd always wanted to stay at Henn-na Hotel. The opportunity eventually materialised during my second visit to Nara with my family. For breakfast, each guest gets to choose one dish with free-flowing drinks.

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

SIN: SERVUS German Burger Grill

Image
Not wow-ed by its beef burgers though... Born in Germany, Hans im Glück (lit. Hans in Luck) is a burger chain named after a fairytale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Known for its forest-inspired decor, the outlets create a cozy, rustic atmosphere. Here in Singapore, it's been rebranded as SERVUS German Burger Grill and it can be found at VivoCity.

MAS: Malaysia Airlines MH52 (Economy)

Tasty beef lasagna by Brahim's Food Services, but no more... After so long, I finally managed to have a family trip again in December 2022 with Japan as the destination. Unfortunately, just like the last part of my Azerbaijan travel series, I've lost all photos during this trip, save for the ones that I managed to post to my Instagram feed. Let's take a look at what I had onboard Malaysia Airlines MH52 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Osaka, Japan.
