Let's Travel•Eat•Play!

Hey there! We brought the boys on another Japan trip during the year end school holidays last month (or should I say last year, that's 2017!) We were in Tokyo again and made 2 separate day trips to Yokohama. A few of our friends were surprised that we did a Tokyo-Yokohama trip again barely 1 year after the previous one in 2016. However as you know, Tokyo itself is really big...one can never cover all the attractions on 1 trip! In fact we already excluded places like Tokyo tower, Sky tree (we were there but did not go up), Akihabara, gyoens (gardens) which were not much of interest to our kids, and yet there are still many more places we have not covered over these 2 Tokyo vacations! I'm sharing our Winter Tokyo 2017 Itinerary here and will update the details and information to each individual attraction along the way. (highlighted yellow) Let me share some Tokyo travel tips first: 1)We rented a pocket wifi from Changi Recommends  for our trip. We also received a ...

｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･* Season's Greetings to all! *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡ Today's tutorial is inspired by the very magical Mickey Mouse imprint hard boiled egg I had at Tokyo Disneyland last year! Quite a number of my friends "WoW" at the egg when I posted the photo then. So I tried to replicate it, considered successful until the last part when I peeled the egg shell while it was still hot and broke part of the egg white :/ Please peel the egg after it'd cooled down. Ok, before it gets too lengthy, let's begin! （╹◡╹）♡ If you tried this tutorial on my humble blog and would like to share on your blog or any other social media platforms, please copy and include the URL so it'll link back to me.

I booked a 3N stay at Hotel   Okura Tokyo Bay on Expedia as I wanted easy access to Disney Resorts. The initial plan was to visit both Disneyland and DisneySea but I decided to skip DisneySea while planning our itinerary and went for Mother Farm  instead. Hotel Lobby Terrace view from our room window Okura Tokyo Bay's room are generally bigger as compared to other hotels in Japan. Even the bathrooms are huge, complete with a bathtub & separate standing shower. Initially, the staff could not honor my Expedia booking of "2 big beds" and offered us a room with 4 single beds instead. My concern was Mini K rolling off the single bed as he usually co-sleep with us. After understanding my concern, t he staff agreed to push 2 of the single beds together to form a big bed and even offered to set up bed rails as extra safety precaution! Brownie Points awarded!  They were accommodating although they were not able to communicate very well in English...
