Destination: Japan, Germany & Singapore
Duration: 13 Days 12 Nights (Feb 22~Mar 07, 2014)
Day 2 & 3: Works & Foodssss
Monday morning was greeted with a yummy sandwich from
last night and non-stop works. We went to the same sushi restaurant we ate 2
weeks ago at the underground mall (link) and this time ordered something different – a lady set with
some sushi, tempura & salad. I would say the one I ordered 2 weeks ago was
nicer though.. didn’t really like the sushi this time and the salad tasted too
onion-y for my taste.

After work, we had a light dinner of bread & soup at
a Japanese chain restaurant called Tokyo Soup Stock which I ordered the lobster
bisque. We then had some grocery shopping at the Lazona mall for Japanese tidbits
before going back to the Nikko Hotel for more works.. Sigh…

Another sandwich greeted me in the morning but I guess I
was simply too tired to really enjoy it. Lunchtime was at the Underground Pork Cutlet
restaurant back from 2 weeks ago with a different order. I would say too much
deep fried stuffs! We could hardly finish it. It was nice and all but simply too
big for us!

| Look at all the Deep Fried Stuffs!!! |

We were thinking to have light dinner again but our
Japanese counterpart insisted to treat us dinner and brought us to this fancy
sushi restaurant which we queued for 20mins just to get in. We started with
shrimp dumpling (Chinese style) and Japanese omelet before a HUGE plate of sushi
was presented to us individually! GOSH!!! There went my weight lost plan!!!! The
seafood was fresh but some of it was simply very hard to chew down – had to swallow
it with my green tea there. It was tasty
overall though – looked great too!!!

Day 4-5: Relocation & Minato Mirai
We were going to check out from Kawasaki Nikko Hotel
today to move to Shin-Yokohama Associa Hotel to continue our work in the office
at the area. We went to the Kawasaki office in the morning and checkout to move
into Associa during lunchtime.

| Goodbye Kawasaki! |
The Associa Hotel's room was actually so much bigger than Kawasaki Nikko Hotel. They actually provides wash balls and lots of green tea toiletries too. =)

Lunch was at a restaurant near Shin-Yokohama Station and
it was SOBA again! After last night food galore, we simply wanted something
light. The soba tasted okay I guess.

| Soba Again!!! =) |
After a long day in office, we’d decided
to get some beer at a western restaurant near the station. We ordered the mini
Hawaiian sausage with a big glass of beer for only 780 Yen.

 |
| Lookie Lookie!!! |
After our sausage adventure, I simply walked around the
area into Prince Pepe & Cubic Plaza. There was almost closing hour thus a
lot of food stalls were having discount on their items. That was when I saw
this exquisite bakery in Cubic plaza 1st floor. The breads, desserts
& sandwiches looked so irresistible and they were having 30% discount. I’m
a sucker for sandwiches and I ended up buying a Salmon sandwich which was oh-so
sinful!!! Gosh!!!! FAT!!!
 |
| Mouth-watering Sandwiches at 30% Off! |
 |
| More Sandwiches!!! |
 |
| Oh dear... My Heart Can't Take it Anymore... |
 |
| FAINTED!!! |
 |
| The Restaurants near the Station |
 |
| GOSH!!!! All of these in Convi Store! |
 |
| More!!!! |
 |
| How come Malaysian Convi Store doesn't have all these?! |
Did I mention that other than the Salmon Sandwich, I also wolfed down a totally CHEEEESEY dessert from Convi too? That was so not cool for my waist line or my health but it WAS JUST SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Sorry for all the CAPS here but I just couldn't help it! I was looking for it again on 2nd night but it was sold out then. *facepalm*
 |
| Sinful Supper |
 |
| Heart-Stopping!!! |

There was a Bic Camera in Cubic plaza and they were also
having 30% discount on their Lego & Nanoblock items but unfortunately it
was closing hour so I didn’t have the time to grab anything. The funny thing
was I never had the chance to step into Bic Camera again during my stay here in
Shin-Yokohama… What a bummer!
 |
| 30% off! |
 |
| Nanoblocks at 30% Off too! |
The second day in the Shin-Yokohama office involved lunch in a local
restaurant near Ramen Museum with raw salmon & fish roe rice set.
 |
| Our Sakana Set! Not the best though... |
We finally left the office
and took a train to Minato Mirai – a very famous area in Yokohama. We took a
quick dinner in Landmark Plaza before getting on to their Sky Garden to have a
full view of Minato Mirai.

After the view from the top, we walked across the street
along the promenade where we crossed the Nippon Maru National Park, the park
was closed since it was late and it was raining too! It seemed that weather was
not on our side too.. *sigh*
 |
| This is Landmark Tower! |
 |
| Hardrock Yokohama is here! |

We walked across the Kishamichi Promenade under the rain
and ran into Yokohama World Porters. The mall was starting to close up as well
since it was almost 9pm. We didn’t even get to the Red Brick Warehouse and only
managed to take some beautiful night view picture of the Ferris Wheel from
Yokohama Cosmo World.

 |
| Goodbye Minato Mirai! |
We finally walked back to the MinatoMirai Train station
under the rain and only managed to reach Shin-Yokohama after 10pm. Lesson
learned? There are a lot of ways to get from one train station to another train
station as long as you know where to transit. We were waiting for a certain
line of train based on our screenshot of hyperdia.com before an elder asked us
where we were going and told us we didn’t have to wait for that particular line
– just hop on and transit at next station with another line! =)
