Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 2 - Milk Kobo and Prativo

On our second day in Niseko, we woke up to a beautiful view from our room. We could see the parking lot on the left side and snow mobiles in the centre.







We got ready and went downstairs to the lobby to catch the hotel shuttle bus. I proposed to DH that we had breakfast at Prativo, a restaurant at Milk Kobo. It was another food spot recommended by https://bumblebeemum.net/. The plan was to eat there and go back to Niseko Village to do some winter activity, including a ski lesson for all of us. Alas, we got there too early, Prativo was not open yet! Luckily their cafe was already open so we sat down and I bought some cheese tarts, a choux, and a bottle of yogurt. All made there at Milk Kobo. The cheese tarts were freshly out of the oven. It tasted soooo good! We knew Hokkaido was famous for their dairy products amongst other things, and the products from this place were proof! Mind you, we didn't find any other choux nor tarts in other places in Hokkaido better than these.

DH and I sat on our table by the window and we let Miss Kiki have her snow time outside the window. Not long after, I decided to join her outside and we walked a bit further around the area. They provided a toboggan there for customer use, so we grabbed it and I showed Miss Kiki how to use it. The area was quite large, all covered in soft, fresh snow. With proper clothes, it wasn't cold at all. It even started snowing lightly when we were out.























My legs :D



When we came back inside, she was all flushed and pink :)




At 11 am Prativo finally opened. We were the first ones there, so we got the best table in the house. Right at the centre, with the view of Mt. Yotei. In just half an hour, the mountain was not visible anymore. How lucky that we got to see it!

As we sat down, we told Miss Kiki to take her jacket off and found that she was drenched on the inside. We dressed her too warm and she was sweating so much!


In Prativo, it was a set price for adults and children. Adults get to pick one out of 4 main dishes from their menu while kids had an additional option on top of the 4. Miss Kiki chose spaghetti with seafood, and the other two dishes we chose were grilled fish and chicken with tomatoes. They were all yummy. The best part of Prativo is their unlimited salad bar. They had fresh vegetables, cooked vegetables, potatoes, pumpkins, eggs, desserts, drinks, and more. They even served the same yogurt that we had earlier at the cafe. Somehow Miss Kiki barely ate. Maybe she wasn't feeling too well after all that play in the snow, or after being overheated in her clothes.

We left Prativo and waited for our shuttle bus at the bus stop across the street and headed back to the hotel...

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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
