  1. Flora Hokkaido Part 5

    Friday, 12 October 2012

    Sorry for the hiatus! School has been busy for both of us and we can't find time to blog! :/ I just had my 22nd birthday and will blog about it soon. Meanwhile, here's my last post on Hokkaido!
    Visited the chocolate factory aka 白色恋人 in Sapporo!
     The production line!


     Lots of nice cakes inside!
     My brother and I chose the top 2 selling cakes! Yummy!! :D


     Their chocolate milk is really yummy too!
     The pretty park outside the factory!

    Off for some shopping at 狸小路. There's quite a few streets here and a basement shopping centre which I bought really cute stuff. Price isn't very cheap though! There's a discount shop in this area where we bought all the snacks. Do buy green tea kitkat if you see one, it's really really delicious! Royce chocolate chips are cheaper in Japan too. We bought several boxes of the white chocolate biscuits back too!
    On our last day in Sapporo, we went to Odori park which is usually bustling with people in the evening. A quick photo stop at the 19th century red bricks Old Hokkaido Government Building and the Sapporo TV tower.

    My tour group!
    With the tour guide and tour leader!

    We left for a domestic flight back to Tokyo. The domestic airport has lots of yummy snacks that you have to try. The tour guide highly recommended the cream puff which is sooooo heavenly!
     SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEARD PAPA!!!
    There's a Calbee shop and you have to try the potato chips! Freshly fried! YUMMMMSSS!!
    After another night in Tokyo, we took a morning flight back to SG! Can't wait to be back! Really love Japan! Told Kerwyn that I wanna learn Japanese so that I can fly there any time I want! Hee~

  2. Flora Hokkaido Part 4

    Friday, 28 September 2012

    The day began with a scenic drive to Biei and Furano which is renowned for its picturesque view!
     A huge flower field!
     Family photo!
     My beloved brother who is often mistaken as my boyfriend when Kerwyn isn't by my side!





    Cute white dog outside the flower field!
     Our tour guide recommended pearl corn! You can to eat it raw! It's really sweet! MUST TRY!
    My favourite Japanese curry for lunch! Do try the milk soup if you happen to come across it! It's not a dessert kind of soup, it has ingredients such as carrots and broccoli inside. Really sweet soup which reminds me of Nespray. Haha!
    Bought some exfoliation product which is really good! 
    Big difference right?
    Left for a cheese factory thereafter and obviously, I bought cheesecake to eat! It's really yummy but it has to be eaten fresh, so I can't bring back to SG! ): 
    Another stop to take some photos

    The tree in the background appeared in some car commercial because it's unique and stylish?? See the red/white arrow? It points down to the curb so that drivers wouldn't mount curb! Cool hor? 
    Dinner was at Susukino Ramen Alley, where ramen shops line both sides of the alley. The ramen was uber delicious and the soup was made less salty to suit the taste of Singaporeans. 
    No more onsen but the hotel provides yutaka! Kept eating the entire day and ended the night with the cheesecake I bought at LeTao and a Sapporo beer! My brother and I know how to enjoy life! :D

  3. Flora Hokkaido Part 3

    Wednesday, 26 September 2012

    We began the day to the most romantic town in Japan! In the 1920s, when the shipping industry was flourishing, the canal shown in the background was built to transport cargo to and from warehouses. 
    Now, it's the most picturesque canal within the region!
    Sadly, the weather was really warm ): The tour guide said that it's hardly so warm in Hokkaido.
    Tower clock!
    There are many shops in the area that sell musical boxes, crystal ware and glassware.
    Otaru Music Box Museum - Lots of crafted music boxes, picture frames and toys.
    Across the street, you'll see this cafe which the tour guide recommended. For every drink you buy, you'll get to bring the cup back! Each drink is ~$10!! Quite expensive hor?
     Lil shops along the street...
    Entered LeTao - a pastry shop as we sampled some chocolate product outside the shop. Sampled more stuff in the shop and we ended up buying a cheesecake and the chocolate product! Ate another cup of green tea ice cream before boarding the bus. Hee.. I know, I'm eating alot right? XD
    Travelled down to Sounkyo Gorge, situated at the foot of Mt Daisetsuzan National Park. It is created by dramatic columnar cliffs, lined with the couple waterfall - 'Milky Way Falls' and 'Shooting Star Falls'. During winter, the left one would be frozen while the right one wouldn't. Gorgeous view isn't it?
     Cute Japanese children!
    Yummy matcha cake for dessert! 
    The day ended with another relaxing spring water hot bath! :D
