Located next to its sister eatery Nam Nam, Comnam puts its focus on rice dishes, particularly the use of broken rice. The concept is almost the same as Nam Nam – a nice range of Vietnamese inspired rice dishes, together with decent lunch sets. Continue reading
The feeling of lethargy often hits me a bit more after being back from an intensive trip as the one I had in Japan. Our flight back from Osaka landed at 5.30am in the morning in Singapore. By the time I got back home, I was ready to just sleep for a very long long time. Continue reading

We came across this place purely by accident. It was almost 2pm in the afternoon, we were hungry and after E decided that she was not going to risk getting lost by going above ground to look for an Okonomiyaki place recommended by the station master, we followed the underground subway signs to this Okonomiyaki place. It turned out perfect since the restaurant was located right at the exit which we needed to take later to Tennoji temple. Continue reading

E tells me that Muragen is her favourite place to have a meal at every time she’s back in Kobe. The owners still make their own soba from scratch and the restaurant is located in the hills beside the national park which allows for great views while having a great meal.

What she didn’t tell me was that Muragen is famous enough to have garnered one Michelin star for its soba dishes. Continue reading

If anything, its 3 Michelin stars were a big indicator of that. Continue reading

After having okonomiyaki in Osaka, I was really keen to try Hiroshima’s version which is more of a layered version of crepe, cabbage, beansprouts, pork, noodles, egg, sauce and green onions. Near the train station, there is a building with rows and rows of okonomiyaki shops. However, E’s family recommended us to try Rei-chan and with a recommendation from the locals, why not?

We were at the Hiroshima shinkasen station shopping and decided to catch a quick bite before heading back to Kobe. E’s friend brought us to this place, which supposedly is famous for being the original creators of Hiroshima style Tsukemen. It was conveniently located near the station and not so crowded, presumably because we were there in the late afternoon. Continue reading
