Fried KUJIRA!

Tempting???? don't be surprise cause this is actually a whale meat!! my hubby bought it in Jusco for 100yen..I never taste kujira before cause you can't eat kujira while pregnant..they said it has mercury that can harm your baby.. so to all preggie mommy out there don't you ever dare to eat this! craving???forget it!! I warned you already..

my kujira..ready to be drown! FYI..I fried it with 'tepung KFC'..*lol*

Kujira is one of exotic food here..usually they make it sashimi..or they fry it..I thought kujira is illegal but my hubby bought it in open supermarket so it must be legal right?? I think this is the first and the last I tasted Kujira..not that the taste is not good..but I know somebody out there is fighting for this whale to be survive..I just want to taste it..don't be angry with me..pleaseee..

crispy fried kujira..goreng pun sodap!

How does it taste??hmm..not like other fish..the texture is quite hard..maybe cause I fried it..and taste is like beef+chicken+fish...hmm..I don't know how to describe it..if you dare to taste it..come to Japan and taste it by yourself..

..Udon..

Japanese Cuisine

If you come to Japan don't forget to try one of famous Japanese Cuisine other than sushi..'Udon'...Udon usually serve with Shoyu (Japanese Soy sauce) and they put some dashi(soup and cooking stocks) inside it..I like to eat it with onsen tamago(soft boiled egg)..so yummy..

this is Udon..Oishii so!

eat it with ika(squid) tempura and kabocha(squash) tempura...delicious!

Usually Udon is one other options that you can eat if you couldn't find Halal restaurant..most of Udon you can eat(for muslim)..but better ask them first whether they put meat or alcohol inside it..

How to ask???

English: is there any meat in it?

Japanese: niku haittemaska?

my lil Aichan..you already eaten..no food for you ok..:)

JOM DATANG JEPUN!

Japan is full with festivals..every season they will celebrate it with festival..today post I want to share some information about this festival called Donto Sai Matsuri.. this Donto Sai Matsuri is held at Osaki Hachiman shrine on January 14 every year..in Sendai to be exact..It's a festival of a Shinto..People burn ornament for a new year..They will go to the shrine and walk around the fire and praying for their health and prosperity for this new year..what are they wearing?? see this..

I can't believe in 0 degree of temperature all these people were half naked!!..tak sejuk ke??pelik sungguh..I'm not attending this festival..my hubby did..it is too cold to bring our little Aichan outside..so I pass..maybe next year..all these pictures were taken by my hubby..

Zao, Yamagata

..Winter holiday..

This year is the best winter season for me..since last year is quite worst cause I can't feel snow so much..just hiding under my blanket to kept myself warm during pregnancy..This year winter holiday is the best for me!!! thanks B! I love you so much!!! we went to Zao, yamagata..one of famous snow spot to play ski, snowboard and to see juhyo (monster trees)..

From sendai it tooks almost one hour by car to this place..along the road I can't help myself but smiling along the way to Zao..I saw hill turns white...so beautiful..Subhanallah!..the best creation by Allah..

Me and the view

in Japan we have this called ETC card, it is the same like smart card in Malaysia..if we travel using highway during weekend or public holiday..you get flat rate toll fee and it will be just 1000 yen..usually it is more expensive than that..but to reach Zao, Yamagata from Sendai we just have to pay 800yen..I'm so glad that we change our tires one day before we started our journey..cause the snow is showering along the road..

We reached Zao around 1pm..It is time to play sleigh!!!we rent it..it is 500yen includes Daddy's gloves..what is sleigh??this is sleigh..

Aichan and mama

With Daddy

 

after a few round..Aichan starting to get grumpy..it is time to eat! and rest a bit..so we went to restaurant and warm ourselves there..

Mama had her fav drink..cafe latte....

and Daddy shows Aichan view outside..

we wait till it is almost dark cause the main purpose is to see juhyo illuminant..so we took cable car..two cable cars to be exact..to get into this cable car we have to pay 2500yen per person..Aichan is murio(free).

Mama and Aichan waiting for cable car

this man is cleaning up the window so we can see outside view..

on top of the hill..they provide restaurant so you can warm yourselves and for me.I can warm my little princess..It's freezing up there..-8 degree!!!see this..

this is what i'm talking about..juhyo illuminant..

sugoy kirei!!!

 

 

It just me and hubby who took pics with juhyo..it is so cold..and windy..i'm afraid to bring Aichan outside..so we took her pic from restaurant..

FUKUBUKURO 2011!!!

Sale!Sale!Sale!

every year..from 2nd till 4th of january there will be a 'BIG' sale all over Japan..they have this things called 'Fukubukuro'.. 

Fukubukuro (福袋 lucky bag, mystery bag^?) is a Japanese New Year's Day custom where merchants make grab bags filled with unknown random contents and sell them for a substantial discount, usually 50% or more off the list price of the items contained within. The low prices are usually done to attract customers to shop at that store during the new year. The term is formed from Japanese fuku(福, good fortune/luck) and fukuro (袋, bag).

mystery bagggg..I wish I can be superman so I can see whats inside this bag..hurmm..
