Japan - Snack Time! (2)

Matcha (Green Tea) Kit-Kat 

How can you not have this Matcha Kit Kat when you are in JAPAN!! So yeap, I bought this twice in 2 weeks! Just couldn’t resist! In Sydney, this pack of thing cost at least $6 to $8 depending where you got it from. In Tokyo, you can get it at the convenience store at about ￥300 (approximately AU$3.50). I am looking forward to get to the Kit Kat flagship store!!

Cereal

Vege cereal! Isn’t this too healthy XD?

The Best Rich Chocolate Milk (Self-proclaimed)

Enough said.

Japan - Snack Time! (1)

Omanju

One of the superior went on holiday and he treated the office staff with this! Honestly, I still don’t get what is the difference between the mochi that we normally know, and daifuku (I think this is just a chilled version of mochi). Yum!

お萩 Ohagi

Google told me is a bean cake. The concept is mochi or like omanju, but is different in terms of the glutinous rice is wrapped by the paste. Usually is the glutinous flour wrapped the paste like above, but this is the reverse. And is not glutinous flour, is glutinous rice!

Biscuits!

Just biscuits that I usually get when I am in Malaysia and in Sydney! I remember my grandma love the sesame one too!

Cup Noodle Experience

I came to Tokyo on a short notice, and didn’t manage to prepare much. I reported to work once I touch down, so no time for groceries, and most importantly, no cash. I sort of foresee that I will be on a tight budget (which is true) and expected to have instant cup noodles for the first few days, which I did. I heard and saw online that Japan has heaps of different version cup noodles, but somehow I didn’t manage to find those types. I ended up eating different variety of cup noodles, just to find those interesting one, although I already sort of ‘tired’ of it.  Missed out 4 of them at the moment :/

寿面

Egg and Seaweed! (Isn't the horse cute?)

From Sydney to Tokyo - Shopping, Grocery-ing, Convenience Shop(-ping)

Coming from SEA country, then lived in Oceania for almost 4 years, and now relocating to Asia for a year. It is quite an experience I shall say and I just got lost as in culture shock or reverse culture shock then reverse culture shock again. Well, like you can see, I am FonCused. ^^

Just want to share and jot down my discovery :)

Shopping, Grocery-ing, Convenience Shop(-ping)

Shopping day is everyday including weekends! Unlike Sydney, despite weekends, departmental store just close as usual, like 5-6pm. Even though there is late night shopping on Thursday night, I doubted that I will walk around since I still need to work on the next day. So yeah, in Tokyo, weekends are just pack with people, from stores to public transport, which this is the bit I missed about home, yet can’t really adapt to it (because I used to the slow paced moment while in Sydney).

Kinokuniya / Book 1st

人到东京，我也到东京。人识货，逛街购物去；我不识字（日文），却偏偏被引到书局去。进到书店，就随着牌子上的中文字来猜测那个区域是卖什么类型的书。

书局躲在层层的树后，是不是有种寻获宝藏的感觉？这是在新宿的纪伊国屋书店，共6层，也自称是全日本拥有最多国外的书籍刊物（日语：洋书）

第一层就全属漫画和动漫类的！我还看到了以前很喜欢的漫画家作品！！只可惜是日文，要不然我可能会疯狂~

*另一家书店 - Book 1st Shinjuku*

逛呀逛的，要么就是到学日语的区域，要么就到关于‘外国语’的书堆里~~

然后呢……我还找到了一本印尼语的男女对话教学书！买这些书的人估计就是想找异国的媳妇儿/女婿 *窃笑* V(^o^)V
