Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 5 Tokyo

Our last full day in Tokyo was cloudy, but not wet. Lucky!

This time I decided to explore Shinjuku area. Somehow we spent a lot of time in Uniqlo and Bic Camera wherever we went. Lol...

We went in a Ramen shop for lunch, and it was tasty. This is the type of shop with a vending machine by the door so we ordered our meal on the machine and gave the server our meal tickets. Itadakimasu!

We wanted to get Miss Kiki a new raincoat, so we went to the Odakyu Department Store and found a cute and bright one for her. She originally chose a pink one with cloud pictures on it, but unfortunately they didn't have her size. She was just as happy with the yellow one with frogs on it. This was a great reminder of how nice Miss Kiki actually was, despite the occasional stubbornness and smarty mouth.

Walking around Shinjuku tire Oma and Miss Kiki out, we stopped again at the L'Occitane cafe. This time the Shinjuku location. The menu was the same but the view in from Shibuya branch was much better. This time I ordered Creme Brule. Miss Kiki and Oma shared another Ichigo no Tiramisu.

And then when we got back to Shibuya, we finally found the Hachiko statue...

And that was our last night in Tokyo. Below are some miscellaneous pictures from Tokyo...

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it. For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
