Cycling Around Mount Fuji

Note that this photo is a posed shot. You are supposed to cycling anti-clockwise around the lake! 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...

Fried Fish Fillets


This very easy dish is from Nigella Lawson. I used sole fish. Cod will taste even nicer =) You can try with prawns too and make ebi fry but it's not easy to get the prawn to be straight. I will try it next time and share it if i do.

Japanese breadcrumbs are used


Ingredients:
White fish fillets
Corn Flour
1 beaten egg
Japanese breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
Tartare sauce or chilli sauce for dip
lemon wedge to squeeze over the cutlets (optional)
Oil for frying

Directions:
Prepare your "assembly line" of flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs.


Cut fish into large pieces (about Fillet O Fish size or smaller, personal preference). Rinse and dry thoroughly using kitchen paper (this is to avoid having oil splats when frying). Sprinkle with pepper and salt on both sides.


dredge through corn flour, knock off excess, dredge through egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. it's easier to grab breadcrumbs from the side and pack them on the top then roll around on the sides. repeat for all pieces and place on a dry plate.


heat oil. test with bamboo chopsticks. when small bubbles appear on the sides of the chopsticks when the tips are placed in the oil, it's ready.


shallow fry the pieces on both sides until golden brown.

i kept some in the fridge and brought them to work the next day. popped them in the toaster oven and they came out nice and crisp =)

enjoy and drink herbal tea after that cos it's quite heaty =P

Keep any leftover breadcrumbs in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer.

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...
