Hokkaido Fair

One big difference about living in Kuching vs living in KL is that the variety of food we can hunt down to eat. Basically we like to EAT. We eat almost anything, other than those bugs or "exotic food". Back in Kuching, it was always those few restaurants and cafes that we took turns patronizing. Here, we are busy trying out new restaurants over weekends.

Isetan here organizes Hokkaido fair every year and we have put off going to it because of the crowd. But today, we just wanted to have that "Japan" feeling again so off we went with Sofia. Daddy had this "Shoyu Ramen" which smelled and tasted just as good. Sofia liked the ramen too and helped Daddy to polish his bowl real clean.
My seafood fried rice was so-so, it tasted more like teow chew type of "Mui Fan" where you just pour soup/gravy over cooked rice.

But we enjoyed ourselves very much, it was nice to experience the Japanese culture for that brief period, where people around you are so hyped up and warm.

We would love to visit Hokkaido as one of our holiday destination in future. I remembered the photos my BIL took when he visited Hokkaido with my sister, the animals were gorgeous.
I am sure Sofia and Jerry would be delighted to see them all. This plan would probably materialize when the kids are older and are fully aware of what is going on then the holiday would be more meaningful to them.
