Then we went to this Togenzaka, Sanenzaka & Ninen-saka.. (don't ask me which is which) tour guide mentioned Shogun... something like samurai heroes... and we ended up eating some samples of the food they displayed as we walked on and on...
this is the limelight
climbed some, walked some...
samples were abundant...
but ended up not buying.. they were so costly!!
one piece cost around RM10-18...

So cold u still eat ice-cream? :D
ReplyDeletelovely view..wow..yummy ice-cream..
ReplyDeleteThe icecream so ex!!!
ReplyDeleteYou don't have shabu-shabu in Ipoh? We have a few here...but I've never been to any one of them. I went to one in Miri...but I did not like the fact that they have too much msg in the soup. That has kept me from trying the ones here...and I've been told that it's just as bad.
ReplyDeleteYour ice cream reminds me of what I saw on Discovery travel and living - choc ice cream served in something that looked like a toilet bowl...and you can guess what the ice cream looked like! Oops!!! Talking about shit again! Hahahahahaha!!!!
Thanks for the Kyoto tour. Heard of fight fire with fire, very rare fight coldness with ice cream. haha.
ReplyDeleteThe food sample should be given free, oh?
ReplyDeleteAiyah, so cold, some more eat ice-cream ah!

ReplyDeleteP.S.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed you have your email at the side... Do you get a lot of spam? Dunno how true this is but somebody told me not to put email addresses like that as the search engines can track it down and send all kinds of things to you - spam and all. Better to put e.g. xxxxx[AT]gmail[DOT]com
