October 2018 Tokyo Day 4 – Mugi to Olive (Clam Ramen)

My daughter and I didn’t plan to eat here but two other ramen shops we wanted to try and went to were closed so we ended up here. The shop is also Michelin rated. I can’t remember what each of us ordered but mine had sardines and her’s did not. What I remember is that…

October 2018 Tokyo Day #3

During the planning of this trip both my daughter and I am aware that Tsukiji market will be closing and so we wanted to experience it at least once. Not the auction but rather eating there 🙂 When we arrived we thought the queue was short (second store from right) but realized later that those…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 3 – Akiba Owl Cafe

A visit to an owl cafe is one of the ‘must do’ in my daughters list. After some googling, she decided on Akiba Owl Cafe and we made reservations and paid days before our trip. It was raining on our appointed day/time so it was good timing that it was an indoor activity on a…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 3 – Ichiran Ramen

Ichiran is one of the ramen places we wanted to try and thankfully, no significant wait time for our eating experience. They even have a place where you can leave your luggage. By this time we are used to the routine of ordering/paying via machine. But you are still provided an order sheet to indicate…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 3 – Nakiryu

My daughter and I both like ramen and we wanted to try a few Michelin rated ramen places in Tokyo. Nakiryu is one of those we wanted to try. Getting to this place during the night requires navigating some dimly lit alleys and streets so it will be better if you’re with a companion or…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 3 – Nakaya at Tsukiji

Knowing that Tsukiji market was closing very soon, we wanted to make sure we will be able to eat in one of the food places there before the market is closed for good. (It actually closed the day after we ate I think, but it was during our Tokyo Trip. We even saw a protest…

October 2018 Tokyo Day #2 – DisneySea

Tokyo Day 2 DisneySea While planning this Tokyo trip, my daughter was originally thinking of 2 days for Disney, 1 day for DisneySea and 1 day for DisneyLand. She eventually decided to just limit it to one day and between DisneySea & DisneyLand, DisneySea is the obvious choice since it is the only one in…

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…
