One of the Best Ramen in Tokyo - 一蘭拉面

There are many ramen shops in Tokyo.
During my trip in Tokyo, I had been hopping from one shop to another to try the ramen. Many have their special unique broth which almost all I feel tasty.

But there is one particular shop that I love the most which is Ichiran Ramen  一蘭拉面

What Do You Buy When You Go Bangkok??

It is alway irresistible not to buy things when you are oversea. We tend to over buy, or buy on impulse when we see things.

Below are what I got in Bangkok, after spending 3 days.


Day 1 purchase

Focusing mainly on snacks as these are the nice goodies you shouldn't miss.
Especially, Mama Tom Yum Noodle, Tow Kay Seaweed and Bento Cuttlefish. These items can be easily bought from their supermarket called "Big C"



Day 2 purchase
Time to buy some souvenirs.  I love going to Platinum Mall, where there is one big wholesale store that sold lots of fancy stationary, bags and ornaments. So here I got luggage tag back for our friends, cute notebooks for my niece.
If you wondering what are those red-orange packets.... they are the local delights which are pork floss. Some ppl say the shape they make look like "dog poop". Anyway, the cheapest place I find so far is at Platinum Mall as well. At the top floor same as the food court and is at a corner. The food goes well with porridge, so we often buy a few to stock at home.
Medicated ointment is also one of the top items to buy. ( I bought a few dozens which special request by friends)

Day 3 purchase
Last day of shopping is like a relaxing day for me. Thailand is full of nice snacks.
Since I still got some space in my luggage, so why not pack more snacks.
Pocky and Pretz is some of the most common things to pack home. They had so many flavors and the price is really cheap.
Wu Fu, is something that we first time try. But I really want to say it taste really good. Downside, such a big packaging only have 3sticks inside. I find it abit expensive for just 3 pieces.

Thailand is famous for tom yum soup, so suggest to get some of the tom yum paste so that you are able to cook at home. No harm trying out right... if you buy in Singapore will be more expensive.

So that all for my small intro on the things I bought.

Tokyo Disney - Part 2

DisneyLand
Tokyo Disney @ Nov 2015
This is a little backtrack post where i got to DisneyLand last year. Wanted to post it up but hmmm...
Nevermind, what important is Disneyland is a place that you will never get sick of.

As the period i go is near Christmas, Disneyland is all dress up to welcome this day. Immediately I feel like, I'm like travel back to kid day. Where you immerse in those fairytale stories, happily jumping around and giving the big wow here and there.

Some Tips
  1. Get hold of their map. This is extremely useful as you get information on when the show start, which rides have fast pass
  2. Obtain Fast Pass (will further explain in this blog): These are rides that are very popular. Don't waste time keep queuing. Use your Disneyland entrance ticket to scan for Fast Pass ticket and come back later for the ride.
  3. If it is Autumn/Spring period, even the weather forecast show cooling, get a warm jacket. You never know how the temperature falls at night. especially at Disney.
  4. If you had space in your bag, get a picnic mat. Everyone does that to get a nice spot for the parade.
  5. Most Important, don't be shy, enjoy the ride like a kid. dress yourself up in Disney hat, headband or clothing. No one will laugh at you, as we are supposed to enjoy our Childhood Moments.
