#JESSICAINTOKYO | DAY 3 | HARAJUKU, FOOD, CALBEE, GENKI SUSHI

18TH MAY 2015

HELLO!
As you can see from the title of this post, we visited Harajuku (again) on the third day of our trip! (Just in case you didn't know, we already went to Harajuku on the 1st day of our trip, more about it HERE) I'm going to show you MORE on different amazing parts of Harajuku today! :D 

hehehe my #ootd 

Mummy also wants to take #ootd shots! :P 

Hooooomaiiigoshhhh look at the crowd in the train station! 10am-10.30am is always their peak hour on weekdays! 

Breakfast in Doutor at Harajuku!! ^_^ 

We ordered the breakfast set which costs 390YEN!! (This breakfast set is only available until 10.30am heh) 

Each breakfast set also comes with a drink of your choice!! Mummy got herself a cup of hot latte. 

And I got myself a glass of iced-coffee!! I'm not a person who usually take cold beverages in the morning BUT IN TOKYO, iced-coffee is too hard to resist!!! :X

Looks normal? Not quite on the inside! The ingredients thrown between these fluffy buns couldn't be any fresher.

Hehe went to Nike store and check out some cool shoes. 

Oh hi there, Nike Huaraches! Why aren't you guys for sale?! 

Then Melanie came to meet us for lunch, yay!

She brought us to Ichiran 一兰, which is her favourite ramen shop in Japan. Ichiran is pretty popular in Tokyo as there are quite a lot of branches everywhere!! However, Ichiran Ramen only serves one type of ramen, which is the tonkotsu ramen!

Yes, you need to make an order and pay for it with the machine outside the restaurant before entering.

After that, remember to collect your tickets from the machine!

Am I the only one who thinks that this order chit actually looks cute?

The best thing about Ichiran is that you can choose how strong and how spicy you want the broth to be. 

This board will show you the availability of seats.

So basically we were seated in a row. And there's a partition in between every seat to keep you focused on the ramen. The partition is movable, though the Japanese usually prefer having their private space while dining here.

Melanie said she can never have a bowl of ramen without a hard-boiled egg! 

Melanie's. 

Mine!!!

Flavour strength ✓
Pork slices ✓
Texture of the noodles ✓
It's so good that it will make you feel like coming back for another bask in its goodness.

Shopping in WEGO after lunch! 

 

LOVE this store so much!

Stumbled upon this crepe shop in Harajuku as we were walking along the streets!


So many options to choose from!! 

The first and also the last crepe I had in Tokyo. Yes it looks appealing as hell, but the actual taste and feel of the crepe was, unfortunately, utterly disappointing :/

Everything in this underground shop is only 390yen (which is approx. RM12) 

Lots of cute iPhone casings! 

You will also be able to find a lot of vintage clothing and accessories here! 

Went to MONKI and got myself a denim skirt (the one I'm wearing in the photo) hehe! 

KIDDYLAND (it's the name of the shop lol)- a toy paradise for everyone (yup, not just the kids). They sell a lot of unique and delicate stuffs here, but the prices aren't cheap :/  

Why does everything seem so kawaii in Japan?!?! 

Cute and trendy socks for sale! *lelong lelong!*

I love this shop so much!!!! But everything is quite pricey! :( 

Apparently, this is one of the largest Daiso shops in central Tokyo! 

Calbee potato chips - the best!!!

Sinful indulgence. 

SO GOOD!!! 

Many locals are queuing up for the Zakuzaku Softcream so we decided to give it a try too hahahah! 

The ice-cream was super smooth and milky (perhaps a little too milky for me) :/ 

Got myself a cream stick too! 

Ok this was good! The outer layer was really crispy (as I'd imagined) and the inside was filled with soft, creamy custard! 

 

Spotted this shop selling (cute and expensive) dogs apparels and accessories!!!! The cheapest piece that I can find is RM90 lolllll.

At night, we walked from Harajuku to Shibuya for Genki Sushi!! 

Where to find cheap and nice sushi in Tokyo?
Guys, GENKI SUSHI IS THE WAY TO GO. The price of a plate of sushi ranges from 120yen to 240yen, depending on what you order of course.

 

Browse the menu and place your order from the device. (English, Chinese, Korean menu available!) 

The food you order will be served on a tray and delivered right straight to you with the conveyor belt. The service was super efficient!! 

Chawanmushi. 

It's crazy how this plate of fresh salmon sushi only costs 120yen!!!!!

Fried squids. 

Yup, besides sushi, they serve udon as well!

Ikura and Uni! It was first time having uni and the taste was....fishy lol. I don't know, it somehow tasted quite weird for me. :X 

Tempura sushi. 

Me with my sushi!!!

After dinner, we walked back to our apartment, feeling all satisfied and grateful.

I kept thinking to myself: 
I'm one lucky girl, really. 

*phew* It's such a long post!! I reallyyyyy hope you guys enjoy reading my Tokyo posts so far!!
