Food in Nishiki Market

This was actually an unplanned part of our trip.  On our last full day, we just decided to make it less stressful.  Somewhere near our AirBNB so that we can always return whenever we get tired.

Japan leaves a mark in your memories because of the unique experiences it offers.  I think this is one of the strengths of travelling to Japan.

This is an overview of the path of the Nishiki Market.  I think it's one of the great places in Kyoto.

The first thing we tried upon entering the market are the seafood skewers. The names that I will state here were all invented by me, meaning I don't know the real name of the food. There were lots from Octopus egg (Quail Egg as head of octopus and the tentacles of octopus), Grilled/scallops on a stick, Octopus tentacles alone, Fish etc.  I collectively call them seafood barbecue 😜.  There's a "fishy" smell to the food, but I prefer the scallops personally since they were tasty and fresh.

Apple Bunny Bento

Holy week just passed by, and rabbits and bunnies are everywhere as they're symbols of the Easter.  In the Rise of the Guardians, the Easter Bunny is the Guardian of Hope. Well I'm starting this April with something related to bunny.

Someone just kept bugging me "I want bento....~", "I want bent~to~". And being someone who doesn't know how to cook, of course I'm cheating! haha

Here's how I did my "cheat" bento 😆

Lemon Yakult Hack

I would like to thank Ezra for this idea for my artsymed post.  Even if this was all around youtube (as I've just recently discovered), I only discovered this as I was thinking of doing this post.

I like drinking the Lemon Yakult, we had near in UST.  Sometimes you just want something refreshing to drink.  But it's kind of expensive for a student, at P69 for a drink.  So if you're on a budget but still on the crave of drinking this, here's a cheaper alternative.  But not as healthy though as the real thing.

My Top 5 Grocery Gifts (Pasalubong) from Australia

Since the items in Australia are expensive, I just bought my pasalubong from their groceries.  I tried to look for some that are really unique from Australia.  This is just my personal opinion, of course there are others depending on their tastes and personalities.

1. 3-in-1 coffee

One of the things I love most about Australia is the Coffee!!!  To the point I wanted to bring them home.  I've tried the Cappuccino and I loved it! In fact I've just finished 1 box and will be opening this one below soon.

HK Must Try Food, Mini List

Hong Kong is one of my favorite countries, whenever I go there, this is just a mini list of my must eat food everytime I visit Hong Kong.  The items in this list are generic and can be found in a lot of places in Hong Kong.

1. Roasted Duck/Goose

Our family loves this so much that whenever we go back to the Philippines, we bring at least one or two whole roasted ducks as "pasalubong".  It's just so fragrant and tasty.  You just have to tell the seller that you'll bring this back to your country and they'll pack it so it's ready to put in your hand carry bag.
