October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Bayside Takeout

Our third food stop is at the Bayside Takeout. I would have ordered a beer but decided not to since I wouldn’t like to miss experiencing some attractions just because I may throw up what I ate/drank, haha. I noticed the birds here are used to people. The sushi roll was good and quite filling….

October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Sultan’s Oasis

Our second stop for food was Sultan’s Oasis that sells chicken curry bun. Though there was a queue, it was moving fast and it was not too long… You just have to admire(?) those that came up with this, haha It was ok enough, you can really taste the curry flavor, but a bit puny….

October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Nautillus Galley

It is about 9am, I was not yet hungry but my daughter wanted to try this red and black ‘thing’ so we went in to try. There were not much people lining up so that sealed the deal. The bun is basically an elongated ‘bolabola siopao’. Not bad but not noteworthy either. While eating, I…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Restaurant Sakura

While exploring, we noticed this restaurant and decided to eat here. Forgot again to take photo of the facade. I prefer noodles over rice so I had the seasonal udon set. I also am always on the lookout for a good clam chowder so we also ordered miso clam chowder. My daughter prefers rice so…

October 2018 Tokyo Day #1

I am not really into travel much, so on this 5 days 4 nights trip I am just ‘the companion’. My daughter planned and made the itinerary and I just handled the financial side like making sure we have enough Yen & my credit/debit cards will be accepted when I use them in Tokyo. And…

After the big disappointment of not being able to ride the big ferriswheel, we decided to explore the area specifically VenusFort. VenusFort has a ‘fake sky’. In the following photos, it is blue skies. We chanced upon a Starbucks and tried a seasonal drink. Click here for details on the Starbucks VenusFort experience After Starbucks,…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 1 – Toyota City

During the making of the itinerary, my daughter and I barely took notice of Toyota City. There was a time that I used to tinker with the engine of my car. Take out, disassemble and clean the carburator. Replace the carbon leads of the alternator and other similar small stuff, but I was never a…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 1 – Starbucks Venus Fort

[2018-10-03] My daughter wanted to ride the 115-metre tall Ferris wheel at Palette Town in Odaiba. Unfortunately, it was under maintenance and even the customer service personnel did not know when it will be operational again. We decided to just explore the nearby  Venus Fort mall. While walking we noticed this sign and decided to try…
