As usual, buffet again in the hotel for breakie. My plate was this much. Considered a lot as I usually don't take breakfast. Here's my lunch...variety of food eaten with rice tempura..my favorite sashimi..didn't touch the wasabi a type of milky soup yogurt soup fish bean sprouts chawanmushi Our dinner: I liked this Shabu Shabu the most.. vegetables pork cooked in the pot of plain water

I always love the buffet breakfast. It has lots of variety. healthy breakie with a cup of green tea We didn't have lunch as we were shopping at Gotemba Premium Outlets. Bought a dunhill wallet for my boss..a father's day gift For dinner, we had buffet at the hotel my delicious meal for the day Here's a boat of scrumptious food pre-ordered by a family. I didn't order as it's not cheap and not necessary too.

As usual, we had buffet breakfast at the hotel. My western breakfast As for lunch, we had a fulfilling one.. love this noodles tempura is definitely my favorite meat to pan-fry small steam-boat I love its smoothness of chawanmushi As for dinner, we had a buffet at the hotel. Hokkaido crabs..I just had a piece of it. Too salty for me.. Variety of food. My dessert Sushi which my girl had. It was fun as we were needed to wear the yukata provided by the hotel. Experiencing the Japanese culture was not to be missed. ( A yukata (浴衣) is a Japanese garment, a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton or synthetic fabric, and unlined. Yukata are worn by men and women.)

We had buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant. I still preferred western food for my breakfast. For lunch, we had this unique Japanese food.  Very satisfying.. We had barbecue again for dinner. This time, it was not fun anymore. The heat from barbecuing was killing me.. My face was reddened and my chest was congested. I quickly had some fresh air at the rest area. In fact, I am not a barbecue person. I dislike it. For this, I gave it a thumb down.

First day in Japan. We had buffet lunch. I took a variety of it.. Salmon not to be missed.. Udon quite satisfying.. Sashimi.. I just took 2 pieces as I was not so keen. Anyway, it tasted good. We had barbeque for dinner. We had beef, pork, chicken and sausages. The pork was not really lean. As for the beef, it tasted delicious without any peculiar smell. Believe me, it was the first time I actually tasted beef. Previously, I refused it as it had a kind of smell. The meat must had been marinated well.. Satisfying meals.

I had always wanted to visit Japan. This time it's for real. No more postponing as before. But I'm going to miss Sakura which has past its  season. Never mind, I still get to experience Japanese culture. I'm bringing along my eldest girl. She loves Japan. This will be her second trip. My SIL, BIL and their grandson are going along too. We are going to have a fun-filled vacation.

My girl planned another trip for us. We flew Air Asia again. To Singapore we went..Initially, we were indecisive on the place of stay. Finally, we decided on Vintage Inn whereby we shared a room with other occupants but with a curtain drawn. Not a bad idea after all.. When we reached Changi Airport on Tuesday, 19 May, we got ourselves a tourist pass which cost us $30 each but upon returning it, we got back $10 each. Conveniently, we found our way to Little India and Vintage Inn is situated at the Race Course Street. After checking in early at 9.30am, we adjourned to Bugis Street where we had our own time till our friend came after work at 1.30pm. He took us to many places such as the Library, Ikea and Giant too. He even took us to his home. This friend drove us to East Coast to have our dinner before we headed to the Gardens by the Bay. We got there on time for the Musical tree performance at 8.45pm. Then we decided to call it a day as we were tired since...
