Haha If you are deciding between taking the train to Kawaguchiko or driving, you can check out the car rental prices at   https://www.nipponrentacar.co.jp/english/user-guide/reservations.html   and train prices at   http://www.hyperdia.com/ It depends on whether you’re staying overnight at Kawaguchiko and the number of people travelling. Remember to add toll fees of about ¥4200 one way. We decided to rent a car but forgot about the toll fees so it ended up being more expensive. I’d say if you’re staying for one night and there are at least 3 of you, renting a car is a good option. If there are two of you and you want more freedom to move around (such as going to neighbouring places like Oshino Hakkai, Chureito Pagoda, Yamanakako etc) it is also better to rent a car. You should also be warned that traffic is congested upon leaving and arriving at Tokyo. We parked our car at ou...

Lazy Pineapple Rice Recipe


I cooked this in the morning before going to work and it took only 5 mins to assemble (i prep the ingredients the night before)

so here's what i used and did...

- 1/4 honey pineapple cut into small pieces(i bought the cut into a cylinder with a hollow centre type from taka cold storage cos i happened to see it... i guess you can buy one slice from cut-fruits stalls)
- half pack of pineapple rice mix (paste-form)


- one skinless, boneless chicken thigh, cut into pieces, marinated with some light soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper and about 1/2 tspn of the half pack of mix. can use seafood (like prawns and squid) instead.
- frozen mixed veg (i like watties because they give french beans as well)
- lap cheong (chinese sausage), sliced. i don't know about you but when i use lap cheong, i always peel off the "condom-ish" layer...

wrap with cling wrap, shove it into the fridge until ready to use.

garnish (to be packed separately then refrigerate):
- ba hoo (pork floss)
- roasted/salted cashews (toast for about 5 mins in oven toaster just before serving will be nice but no need to if lazy)
- cilantro
- fried shallot (which i didn't have)

some chili padi with soy sauce or fish sauce will be nice =)

so you prep all these the day before then in the morning when you wake up, before you wash face etc, put 1 cup of washed rice and measure water as per normal (like you are cooking rice) into rice cooker, scoop out some of the water to mix with the paste (cos very difficult to dissolve paste completely in the water in the rice cooker) then pour dissolved paste back into rice cooker. add mixed veg and stir lightly, add chicken and sausages.

press cook and go do what you need (wash face, da pian, make-up etc).

after button pops, let it steam for 10 mins more. for me, i just open lid after i put make-up. stir it around to mix then stir in pineapple. put into two lunchboxes and let it cool lightly before you cover.

heat in microwave oven (optional) and garnish before eating =)

aroy (delicious)!!

Tokyo Asakusa with Kids: Kimono dress up and Kaminarimon, Food sample making, Tokyo Sky Tree

Image
When you travel with kids, you will tend to over-plan but it's alright, be prepared to let go of some activities because you do not want to tire them out (or they may become grouchy or worse, fall ill) so take it easy. Useful transportation site: http://www.hyperdia.com/en/ Although it is possible to pack all the activities into one day, we split it into two days due to the availability of slots for the food sample making. On Day 1, we did the food sample, lunch at Imahan and Tokyo Sky Tree. On Day 2, we did the kimono dress up and Kaminarimon. Food Sample Making Experience It seems that the English website for  ganso sample house  does not have the food sample making experience but if you click in the Japanese flag to change the language to Japanese http://www.ganso-sample.com/experience/ , you can see it so I emailed them in Japanese to book the session. Not only did my nieces enjoy the experience, my brother and sister-in-law enjoyed themselves thoroughly too. The shop is s...
