Grilled food on a cold wintry night, life's little pleasure

Nothing beats freshly grilled food
with a glass of beer or umeshu

OMG! I am behind on the SQ promotion cheap fares to Tokyo as my brain is suffering from election fatigue. Yup, every other person's status on Facebook is election related, not to mention, it's more news on tv, the internet or booklets stuffed at my doorstep. The plus point is I get to vote after so many years. Frankly, no more election news for me. Come Saturday, I am just going to get dressed, pop downstairs to the polling centre and cast my secret vote. Have already read about what to do and what not to do, cross, not tick in the box and what is a spoilt vote. Plenty of misleading posters around the neighbourhood that tells us to tick...

Back to the SQ mega cheap Singapore to Tokyo fare, it's only S$398 inclusive of tax. That is dirt cheap especially since you can see cherry blossoms around this time. But will I go? Nay. No time and that radiation problem at Fukushima that refuses to go away. I am sure the food that you consume in Tokyo is perfectly safe. Or very safe as I believe the Japanese have great respect for the food they sell and consume. Anyway, you can exposed to radiation in cities like Hong Kong and Singapore too.


Look, dirt cheap, right? At the cheapest in the past
for other airlines, it will be S$640 inclusive of tax.

But if you are going, please do visit this new favourite food haunt of mine in Tokyo. ふくはち Fukuhachi! Great food at affordable prices right smack in the middle of Shinjuku. Discovered it during my last trip to Tokyo. Super yummy.

What do I craved for while on holiday in the midst of winter in Tokyo other than a big bowl of piping hot noodles? Not sushi or tempura but a fresh batch of beautifully grilled yakitori, vegetables or whatever that is available at a Izakaya. Washed down with my drink of choice, pure heaven.

All things Japanese today

Missing Tokyo today. Let me rephrase, missing the food in Tokyo.

I wish I can eat this now. Melt in the mouth grilled maguro's tail 尾 part (tuna) and leeks. Going to dream about this tonight.
Our new fave izakaya in Shinjuku. The crowd consist of less salarymen but more youngsters or people like us. They have interesting food in their menu unlike the usual grilled items at most izakayas.








The very helpful barman at Delica who speaks better English than my broken Japanese.
I went to Izakaya Nijumaru at Cuppage Plaza for dinner. It's good but nothing beats eating in Tokyo after a long day of shopping. Thank God I am a designer. Designers can visualise, right? Pat tummy, 1 nice succulent tuna stick after stick. Mmm, bedtime.
