It’s been a while we didn’t eat outside. Summer Break it just a short day only because of the Corona Virus they shorten the vacation and need to catch their lesson because they started so late. This is our first time to eat in this restaurant.
While waiting…
In the entrance, you cannot go inside without a mask. So, a mask is a must. Social distancing as well some of the tables and chairs are vacant. When you enter they have to check your temperature and hand sanitized.
Kids Meal
Fast serving and a bit pricey but worth it. My daughter said the burger was delicious.
Apple Juice
Salad
Soft Crap & Fries
Chicken Wings (Japanese Style)
Rice with Crab
Paella
Lobster with beef
The food a bit pricey but the taste is so different and delicious so far unless we go down in Okinawa or Up in Hokkaido Area, they said the best seafood in Japan. All taste is above average but not high to the originated seafood countries. We enjoy the food a lot.
We didn’t expect the Choco cake was that big, luckily my husband didn’t order dessert. They shared it with my daughter. The Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream was not that sweet, perfectly soft apples.
Here’s the view of the restaurant. It was near the beach and take note of no social distancing. No wonder, now Japan hitting the 2nd wave of the Corona Virus it’s getting more and more infected. Anyway, it was great to see many people under the sun. Life is short, enjoy and appreciate every little happening in your life. Right?
Christmas Day celebration with our fellow church mate. Thanksgiving as well, for giving us bountiful grace and blessings. Hoping we can also repay it, by worshipping him. It was, great fun, laugh and worship with our sisters and brothers in Christ.

Having a group like this, it was a blessing to us. We just moved here in Yokohama (Kanagawa) just last year. (1 year and 4 months to be exact). And, our bonding is firm foundation and we also know each other more.
For the last time, picture before we go home. I’m actually not feeling well. Coughing and a bit fever but I still wanna go. Once in a year celebration, I don’t want to miss it. One of my memorable feeling as a mother or mom.

Early flight, Food plane only… when we reach Japan back to Ramen.
Back to Reality… I really enjoy the food trip hopefully you do as well. Yummy! I’ll post the other ventures we had in the separate post.
We had a short trip in Yokohama (Kanagawa), just because my husband will have a final interview one of the biggest company. He had already turned it down, 2mos ago but still they do really like him and far for that his asking price has been exceeded. It’s so troublesome for us to transfer from different places here in Japan because of Kids, Schools and also their friends and we get to know our neighborhood as well.
Yokohama’s population of 3.7 million makes it Japan’s largest city after the Special Wards of Tokyo. Yokohama developed rapidly as Japan’s prominent port city following the end of Japan’s relative isolation in the mid-19th century, and is today one of its major ports along with Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya, Hakata, Tokyo, and Chiba.
We had productive trip, First we have to see the surrounding places and house trip. Yeah, a bit expensive to live in a big City like Yokohama compare to the Osaka sort of laid back life. The fast paced life in the City, kids will be develop how to be punctual and be aware of the surroundings even though the whole Japan is a Safe country. Anyway, after our house tripping, we have time to look around the area.
All I can say, busy street and so many people. We are going to the biggest China Town in Japan. It was really big and the food so, tasty.
Yokohama Chinatown (Japanese: 横浜中華街, yokohama chūkagai; Simplified Chinese: 横滨中华街; Traditional Chinese: 横濱中華街; Pinyin: Héngbīn Zhōnghuá Jiē; CantoneseJyutping: Waang4 ban1 zung1 waa4 gaai1) is located in Yokohama, Japan, which is located just south of Tokyo. Its history is about 150 years long. Today only a few Chinesepeople still live in Chinatown, but it has a population of about 3,000 to 4,000. Most of the residents are from Guangzhou (Canton) but many come from other regions.
Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown not only in Japan but also in Asia (larger than Chinatowns in both Kobe and Nagasaki) and it is one of the largest in the world[citation needed]. There are roughly 250 Chinese-owned/themed shops and restaurants scattered throughout the district, with the highest concentration centered on a 300 square metre area.
And of course, trip without eating is no sense at all. We went to the Chinese food eat all you can. In short we pig out!
On the 2nd Day, In the morning and late afternoon we have house, tripping means we are looking a place to live. Afterwards, fun day for the kids we went to the “Cosmo World”.(Cosmo Clock 21)
In 1997 the structure was dismantled, then in 1999 relocated onto a taller base which increased its overall height to 112.5 metres (369 ft).[3][4]
Cosmo Clock 21 has 60 passenger cars,[5] each capable of carrying up to eight people. One rotation of the 100-metre (330 ft) diameter wheel takes 15 minutes.
And, we go to the Nissin Noodles Museum, and we made our own noodles. You can check the site click here.
What I like to travelling in Japan this one…
LOCKER…. LOCKER …. LOCKER!!! Everywhere in the train station mostly and it was SAFE. I didn’t hear a news that they lost their valuable inside the locker. Because we have to check out 11am and our bullet train (Shin-Yokohama to Shin-Osaka) will be late afternoon we have some time to look around. So, we decided to place our luggage inside those lockers.
This is my first time to attend cooking lesson for essential oils. My halfy Friend (Half Brazilian-japanese) invited me to attend cooking lesson with Essential Oils.
I had a great time and seeing familiar faces. Actually, the place we had is our formerly area we used to live in just nearby. So, moms from the Nursery also join us. Great to seeing them and my Japanese really practice well.
Above the recipe we use with Essential oils. We also cooked Chicken Pie soup and Chicken Pie. I also search some recipe for you to try as well using essential oils.
March 1 is the actual birthday of my daughter while my hubby birthday is on March 6. We had to celebrate on March 6 for the mothers in kinder garden which is a bit far from our place about 30-45 mins drive going to our home.
My very own decoration for the party.
pictures from newborn to 11months
balloons and paper flowers
paper flowers
used cartoon, colored papers and colored pen
I had great time decorating hehehe… anyway, will also share the food we served, most are pilipino dishes.
Pizza Muffin we just search it in the YOUTUBE
this one for our friend recipe… original recipe. All marinated.
Crispy Pata consisting of deep fried pig trotters or knuckles[1] served with a soy-vinegar dip. It can be served as party fare or an everyday dish. Many restaurants serve boneless pata as a specialty.
Lechon na Paksiw is roasted pork lechon meat cooked in lechon sauce or its component ingredients of vinegar, garlic, onions, black pepper and ground liver or liver spread and some water. The cooking reduces the sauce so that by the end the meat is almost being fried.
Kare-Kare (Big bowl) -It is made from a base of stewed oxtail (sometimes this is the only meat used), pork hocks, calves feet, pig feet, beef stew meat; and occasionally offal, or tripe. Vegetables, which include (but are not limited to): eggplant, Chinese cabbage, or other greens, daikon, green beans, and asparagus beans are added – usually equaling or exceeding the amount of meats. The stew is flavored with ground roasted peanuts or peanut butter, onions, and garlic. The stew is colored with annatto (extracted from annatto seeds in oil or water), and can be thickened with toasted or plain ground rice.
One of the most thing i like in Japan… SUSHI!. If you taste sushi in japan, and you will try it to other countries your taste buds will definitely dissapointed.
Curious about this drink… I tasted the honey and white grapes… Love it! I should buy more hehehe your tongue will be busy for the seeds.
