Through my friends, I heard about Genki Sushi’s new interesting way of delivering food to your table and I finally had the chance to experience it!

Good Food But Weird Service at Sushi Goshin
Friends and I decided to celebrate ML’s 30th at Sushi Goshin by Akashi at the newly renovated wing of Suntec City. ML was drawn to it by the 2 pull-up banners at the entrance declaring that their sushi starts from S$1. Little did we know that they meant S$1++ each and only 2 types were at...

Review on Kawara Tokyo Cafe
That’s a big-ass serving of Mentai udon, kakiage and an onigiri. All for S$14++! Where can you get such value? It’s this small izakaya/bar called Kawara Tokyo Cafe which brings you slightly into Japan as some of the wait staff are Japanese or are Singaporeans who speak fluent Japanese.

Last Day in Osaka (aka. Day 4)
Alas, every holiday has to come to an end and it is the same with ours. With slightly heavy hearts, we made it a point to make the most of today and do whatever we can in a day! First off, we headed to Janjan yokocho which is so-called because the ‘Janjan’ sounds like the...
