Winter in Japan part 5: Yummy Tokyo and Kamakura

Hi everyone. I was browsing through my pictures to decide on what blogpost to do and I realized that I still have some photos of my Japan trip from last year that I haven't written about. I can't believe how fast time flies and it has already been one year. I have every intention to go again this year.. if and only if my financial situation permits (chances are looking slim as of now).

So for now, I guess I will have to settle for looking at pictures. 

This is also the last installment of the 5 part blogposts that took me so long to complete. For those of you who hasn't read them, you can see Part 1 HERE, part 2 HERE, part 3 HERE and part 4 HERE.

p/s. If you are hungry as you are reading this, BE WARNED!! Delicious and mouth-watering food pictures await you in this post.

I highly recommend you guys to check out this Japanese barbecued skewers (串焼き/kushiyaki) place called Monjirou もんじろう in Shibuya if you visit Tokyo. I visited this place 2 years ago during my first trip to Japan and I can never forget the taste of the delicious food there. So when I returned to Tokyo, I went back 

to satisfy my craving and it did not disappoint.  

 This is deep-fried mashed potatoes known as Korokke. I really like Korokke and I always order it if I see it on the menu. This one was a good korokke: the mashed potatoes filling was creamy and the panko shell was crunchy. And not to forget the slightly sweet and sour dipping sauce. *drools*

Happy New Year & I am back!!!

Hi everyone. I am so sorry for not blogging for so long (I reckon my blog is full of cyber dust and spiderweb by now). I know I said in my last post that I will try to appear more but not appearing at all for nearly 3 months is really unacceptable. Loads of things had happened and I did not have much energy left in me to attend to the blog in the past months. 


I shall give you all a little update.


Firstly, I was unwell for over a month and was just so drained (In addition I couldn't exercise at all during this time and felt quite crappy as a result). And after that came my brother's wedding, then my father's birthday, then Christmas and finally new year. Not to mention there is the tedious process of job hunting thrown in the mix. 


I am actually quite glad that 2011 is finally over because it really hasn't been a good year for me. I can only hope that 2012 will be better. Part of my new year's resolution for 2012 is to not neglect my blog, so let's hope that I can have a good start to this year and keep the momentum going.
