Travel : Osaka castle and Shinsekai

Osaka Castle

Transportation to Osaka Castle,
You can either take the subway to Station Morinomiya(C20,N19) or Osaka Business Park(N21)

From the either of these stations, you'll have to walk around 10-15 minutes to the Osaka Castle.

The castle is actually surrounded by a park.

You have to walk up the some staircase.

There are doggies climbing up the hill.

Inside the castle,it is more like a museum. 

If you visit during the sakura season, you will see the blooming of sakura. Unfortunately, we visited during summer. Normally the cherry blossom season (Sakura) is in the Spring. 

Another place to visit in Osaka is Shinsekai.

Shinsekai, It is a place where you can feel the traditional Japanese.

We tried out the deep fried food and dipping their special sauce. It is right next to the tower in Shinsekai. You can see a queue outside their shop.

[ChangHua] Hawker Food : ChangHua Kong Bak Ben, 彰化 阿章爌肉飯

彰化 阿章爌肉飯

Chang Hua is in the center of Taiwan. It's about half an hour drive from Taichung City. My job require me to travel a lot, and I pass by this small stall for a couples of time. 

Saw these flowers on a BIG tree by a road. 

爌肉飯 = It's the part of pork where they are meats and fats.I guess it's the best part.! The 筒仔米糕=It's actually they put some soup of the pork on the sticky rice with some minced pork. I didn't order that. 

 The business hours is from 5pm to 3am. It's just 5pm. As you can see, it's already so crowded. The crowd is the main reason that attracted me to give a try. 

The main dish, it is braised pork.

 the side dishes : eggs, sausages, veggie, bamboos, meat balls

My favourite Tofu.

Pet is having brunch

Bringing Vanessa aka 妞妞 out for a brunch on Saturday!

She was requested to sit on the chair, because she normally behaves well while she is on the chair.

Side-viewing ???

The waiter sent the ordered food on the table, and obviously she was very attracted.

My favorite pictures of the day. Able to capture her smile.

I encountered lots of online blogs introducing on this Latte. Isn't it super adorable???

Basically it is a 3D Bear. 

Sandwiches with fruit salad and some chips.The filling of the sandwiches are baked chicken, lettuce, tomatoes with yellow mustard. Personally, I think this is pretty normal. 

This is potatoes salad inside sausage bun. 

She is looking at it 

She is still concentrating on the dishes on the table! 

The Bear after we have some of it.

Vanessa :"Can I have some fries? I'm going to devour it."

Vanessa: "please daddy, I'm pleading on you."

I really wanna try some...

I wore an antique black and white clock.
