i love that rice/meat ball... never taste something alike b4, very japanese taste...

side dishes


when i thought i'm full, they serve this fried fish...


with the full stomach, we took cable car up mountain to see the famous hakodate night view
great harbor city view, but too crowded... such a long q to go down waiting for cable car

[chrisyen]

no watch shopping ah?

nvr bring money for watch....
only window shopping...
buy watch must go tokyo lah...

[chrisyen]

supper....

[chrisyen]

staying near the hakodate national park is a big waste when we dont even have time to walk around....





after the hotel breakfast... we are on the road again


yeah baby... the wet market

now looking at this photo, i regret not finding a place to eat this super big asparagus... some more got white color...
i shd blame myself for focus too much on seafood


still i miss out finding more about this black king crab as well

[chrisyen]

got ourselves this for the journey later


super sweet.... and big !

after some shopping.... we sit down for

grilled big clam, not fully cook, not sure it is intended, so our lady doesnt like the fishy taste.... bit like giant cockle sashimi kinda taste! but i like it alot!


grilled abalone - love the texture, its a freshness thats makes the different


grilled 'mao dan' prawn.... look at the eggs.... this is so sweet... never taste this prawn b4, i will rember this taste forever! its hell expensive actually...

dessert

yum yum.... just 2 bites.... u will remember it for life.... for its price and sweetness.... u can get this in isetan actually....

when i thought i'm done... i heard this is good for men !!!


and it is opened fresh on the spot


so.... die die take it


before leaving.... the ladies spotted this... round 2 dessert

no women can resist ice cream! true.... no women can resist hokkaido ice cream.... CONFIRM !!!
only hokkaido rich taste, creamy and milky milk can make this great hokkaido ice cream...

[chrisyen]

our journey inclusive of going up to this tower which hv a great view of the only western castle in japan
and this is a good place and good season for



SAKURA... yeah!!!


but only few trees start opening... we were unlucky, the weather changed, snow a week b4 we arrive at hokkaido spoiled our plan.... so as some japanese who also booked their place for sakura, picture tells, most of the tree still in winter mode


the next destination .... reflecting our feeling, the HELL Valley in  noburibetshu

[chrisyen]

nights fall.... they will haunt u...









.... run... run... following the lights...


u will back to heaven...


we r back to hotel safely...
we were treated the great buffet

sashimi, ikura(salmon egg), grilled wagyu, king crab, curry rice and soup, noodles....


all kind of dessert....

i cant really remember how much i ate that night... i can only said... sure more than a KG added to my weight after that night, i ate more than 5 of this at least...

Chris Yen's report on travel & food is always the BEST ! 

Really enjoy it, and the same time feel terribly hungry !

[chrisyen]

after so much of good food... we dated some1 from the past in her time in this beautiful place













after some fight with samurai and ninja

(picture borrowed from jacky888)

we finally reach the place


she is so proud... can only see her back in first visit


second visit only manage to review her face


after the dance, smoking, rice wine.... we have this....

rub the pork fat on the hot steel .... yum yum


eat till u full.... pork, lamb, beef, onion, vege.... all i can remember is full full full and smoky hair/cloth smell...

[chrisyen]

love scenery... i capture some photo from noburibetshu to Sapporo...





we were brought to ramen street and then to eat at 'yat fong tong'...

bit disappointed... not bcoz of the ramen is not good, its great but we can have this in KL Pavillion now
night still young, so we decided to walk around the street.... to look for supper and found this ramen shop


i now believe hokkaido is the place for ramen... many recipe originated from here

[chrisyen]

no meant to tease... i will continue when i free

Chris,

How do you do it?
I mean, storyboard in mind, then you shoot.
Or you shoot 1st, the storyline comes later.

And usually how many photos for a day to make it interesting?

Come for the BBintang gtg.

I'm a lazy guy. Never think so much... I see, I like, I shoot... Jus capture what m I seeing...
No setting, In jpeg, 90+% in auto mode, with my 1st gen pana m43, the gf1, With the pancake kit lens...
I jus link up the photo with my story... Otherwise boring...
Nvr count how many photo I shoot a day... Jus bring extra battery...

U made me think how to answer u.... That's tough... Maybe u shd ask jacky... Who travel with me few days there...
