Pastry beds

I love bread and pastries. The smell of freshly baked bread is one of my favourite smells. I could go on for days just eating bread, even though rice is considered a staple in this part of the world. What makes it even better for me is if the bread and pastries are Japanese ones.

If you share this love of mine, you gotta love these pastry beds! They are are a dream! Imagine lounging around in your favorite pastry. What's even more ingenious is that these pastry beds/cushions come with a wearable cape that transforms you into the filling! You got to hand it to the Japanese. Available online at felissimo.

MT Expo Singapore finally landed on our shores! It took place from 26 Jul to 11 Aug at Ion Gallery and I'm glad to have checked it out. Not as huge as some other MT Expos but I was so thrilled with my visit nevertheless. I was on a high the whole time I was there! Like a kid in a candy store. T was most sweet to let me take my time salivate over everything and fill up my shopping basket.

Limited edition Singapore tapes

I hear it took 10 persons and 48 hours to MT tape the entire space! I enjoyed myself thoroughly at the DIY table and did you check out the gacha gacha machine?

Yoriko Youda

Loving these beautiful works by Yoriko Youda, involving colours, characters from Hiragana and matching objects. Admire the creativity and wit behind them.

This "sa" for Sakura is my favourite!

Yoghurt Drinks

First there was this.

Then there was this. 

I'm a little infatuated with Japanese yoghurt drinks recently. 

Love the packaging and they are also yummy! 

Little things like that bring sparkles to my mundane days.

Happy Monday, folks!

Minourakentaro

SO blown away by the works of Japanese artist, Minourakentaro.

Light, airy, whimsical, colourful.

[Kyoto] - sights

Shots from my walking around Kyoto, taking in the cool early autumn air while enjoying its sights and sounds. 

Kyoto will charm your pants off. 

[Fukui] - Cafe Mare

My travel posts cannot be without any cafe related posts. Well, on this trip, I visited one with a view so magnificent, I don't think I will ever quite forget it. 

Care Mare sits along the Echizen Coast and it's as close as you can get to the raging waters while still enjoying some heating and glorious food. 

Still waiting to exhale...

4. Simple everyday life Japan

It is more than charming. 

When surrounded with all that I love about Japan, I am reminded of what’s truly important and how little we actually need.
