๐Ÿฏ As part of my trip with @cheapticketssg, I got to visit Kumamoto! Use promo code JAPAN2016 for $30 off when you book a flight from Singapore to Japan. Follow @cheapticketssg for more Japan promo coming up this week! This is Ikinari Dango, a Kumamoto dumpling snack filled with red bean paste and sweet potato. Ikinari is Kumamoto slang for "sudden" so the literal translation of this snack is "sudden dumpling" or "instant dumpling" since the dumpling can be very easily prepared. Kumamoto castle is beautiful and majestic. Unfortunately, the city of Kumamoto was hit with two strong earthquakes earlier this year in April 2016. As of now, you can't enter the castle but you can still observe it from a close distance. If you look closely in person, you can see parts of the roof tiles of the castle were affected by the earthquake. However, these roof tiles were actually specifically designed to fall off in the event of such earthquake, so that it does not collapse into the castle interior and cause even more damage. Amazing! #VisitJapan #ShotOniPhone I am in Japan again thanks to @cheapticketssg! Stay tuned for flights giveaway and discounts for flights to Japan. I am also doing a takeover of @cheapticketssg, where I have been posting delicious food and sights in Japan, so follow me there! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿป --- Onigiri at Nagasaki ๐Ÿ™ This is my daily snack whenever i am in Japan! I can seriously eat them all day... ๐Ÿ™ˆ They are rice ball snack with different ingredients and readily available at any konbini (convenience stores) all over Japan. My favorite is the salmon and sesame one. Who else love Onigiri? Which one is your favorite? ๐Ÿ Hello from Hiroshima! Yes I am in Japan again thanks to @cheapticketssg! I will be traveling and eating my way around the Kyushu region of Japan, starting from Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Kagoshima. Stay tuned for flights giveaway and discounts for flights to Japan! I am also doing a takeover of @cheapticketssg, where I will be posting more delicious food I will be eating in Japan, so follow me there. This is a Momiji Manju, a popular steamed bun snack shaped like Japanese maple leaf that can be found throughout Hiroshima. ๐Ÿ It is filled with red bean jam. Hiroshima city may look unassuming, but I'm sure the majority of us are very familiar with the rich history of this city. Hiroshima is the first city in history that suffered the effect of an atomic bomb which effectively ended World War II, on August 6, 1945 at 8:15 am. Visiting the Memorial museum and ground zero of the atomic bomb dropping point was quite heart breaking. A cup of Kopi Luwak overlooking Bali's Rice Paddy fields ๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡จ Thank you @franciak for lending me your hand ๐Ÿ’‹ Kopi Luwak is a type of coffee made from partly digested and defecated coffee beans from Asian Palm Civet. It has been referred to as the most expensive coffee in the world, fetching $30 a cup in NYC. Because of its price tag and popularity, while kopi luwak used to be wildly sourced by actually collecting Civet feces from the wild, nowadays it involves farming methods that can be inhumane to the Civets. It's quite difficult to find one that is still wildly sourced. Keep this in mind and decide for yourself if you'd like to try this coffee. #ShotOniPhone6sPlus ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ In Siem Reap for a weekend of temple running. We ran 10km this morning and it was my best timing so far :D Thanks @alij_16 for being an excellent pacer! It's pretty toasty here now in Siem Reap, so I made sure I got my share of coconut ice cream on a stick while walking around the hectic Old Market. I bought this ice cream from an old lady pushing her tin ice cart around the market. I have to say I was quite surprised when she asked to pay in local currency (2000 Riel, about 50 cents). Everywhere else in Siem Reap seems to only take US dollars! #ShotOniPhone6sPlus โ›ฉโ›ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ตโ›ฉโ›ฉ Taiyaki at the famous Fushimi Inari from the market right outside the temple! This is my last post from the Kyoto trip, but fear not - I'm coming back to Japan with @cheapticketssg in September! Stay tuned for more Japan pics as I will be taking over their instagram too. This time I will be exploring southern area: Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto and Kagoshima. If you have any recommendations, please comment below on what I should eat. Can't wait! ๐Ÿ˜ --- Taiyaki ๐ŸŸ is one of my favorite snacks from Japan. It's a fish-shaped cake filled with red bean paste, commonly found around Japan especially in the food stalls at a festival. Despite the shape, it doesn't actually contain fish. Seeing the red torii (gates) โ›ฉ at Fushimi Inari was one of my bucketlists! I'm very glad to finally have this one checked off โœ… #cheapticketssg #visitjapan Turkish delight afternoon snack at The Monastery in Petra, Jordan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ด. Words can't describe how majestic this Nabatean monument is! Built in the 1st century, The Monastery is much larger than The Treasury, standing at 50m (164feet) high. I'm not sure if you can discern the scale from my picture but it was so, so massive!! It's also much harder to get to, so you see a lot less people here. I personally think it's a must-see in Petra because you won't see anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. Turkish delight, much like Turkish coffee, probably came to Jordan along with the Ottoman empire. Some of you may have seen this candy in The Chronicles of Narnia as the enchanted confections. In the Arab world, Turkish delights are called rฤแธฅat al-แธฅulqลซm (ุฑูŽุงุญูŽุฉ ุงู„ู’ุญูู„ู’ู‚ููˆู…) which means "Throat Comfort". The consistency is very chewy, sticky and very sweet. The red variation like what i'm having in the picture is flavored using rose water! #VisitJordan #ShareYourJordan #ShotOniPhone6sPlus ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿต The most perfect green tea ice cream with matcha powder at the perfect location - The alleys of Gion in Kyoto. Kyoto was the capital of Japan in Heian period from 8th century to 19th century. Nowadays it is filled with cute shops and cafes, while the exterior is preserved to look like old Japan! It feels like you are transported back in time when you are walking around this area, and it's common to see people dressed in Kimono or Geisha costumes. If you are lucky, you may even spot a true Geisha. In the background my friend @op.118 is patiently waiting for me while I compose my shot ๐Ÿ˜… #ShotoniPhone6sPlus #IceCreamKing Almost too late for #tbt but it's still Thursday in some parts of the world :D This is grilled squid ใ„ใ‹็„ผใ on skewers at a park near Arashiyama in Kyoto ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต, back in Spring when the Sakura (Cherry Blossom ๐ŸŒธ) were in full bloom. This squid was juicy, freshly grilled and topped with soy sauce for a hint of sweetness. My friends and I spent the entire day biking around Kyoto and got distracted by all the delicious street snacks and beatiful sakura that we almost missed the deadline to return our bikes. We made it by like two minutes! If you have the chance, I highly recommend exploring Kyoto by bike ๐Ÿšฒ #ShotOniPhone6s
