Sure, we could have gone shopping nearby but it's not my style to do retail therapy & bored my boys to sleep. Always remember, bored + tired kids = uncooperative kids! Luckily mama already had it planned! Tokyo Sea Life Park would be perfect! Just 1 station away from Maihama & good enough for a 2hrs visit, best part was the kids enter free! So even if it wasn't impressive enough, the pinch would be lighter too! But hang on, it was a really good & beautiful aquarium! Totally worth paying ¥700/adult!

There are some mornings whereby I'll prepare & fry up "home made frozen food" while both the boys are in school. These are commonly known as 常備菜 & are my time saver!

There's an economic rice stall (经济杂菜饭) in our neighbourhood that serves  "Bak Par" the way we love! "Bak Par" is 肉扒 (pork chop) in dialect.
