General Travel in Japan

Breakfast at Nagoya Station's McDonalds



The bread is very soft compared to Bangkok and the meat is very moist and juicy, fries also better its like got more body when bite


Cost 790 Yen or about $10 for the set.

Seats are not comfortable so cannot seat long, guess thats the idea

Ok last post on the trip, last Japanese meal on board aircraft

Started with satay



The theme is Sakura so the meal has sakura flowers in it

Green noodle and salad


Have to say noodle taste really good


Next set is the main course


Cod fish


Egg, salmon roe, soya beans, chicken


Salmon with bamboo shoot


More bamboo shoot, sweet and sour veggies etc


Dessert is sakura ice-cream - in the ice creak are petals and even some leaves and thin shoots, the taste is very natural unlike any taste and the texture is also kind of strange to describe but I love it




That's all folks
