Yokoso Japan Day 4 Part 2- Ishiya White Chocolate Lover Factory

The infamous White Chocolate Lover Factory in Hokkaido!

This place does not look like a factory at all! Its an amusement park! Trust me!!!

As you walk in, there is a even a rose garden!

beautiful roses!

Food Post - Of Oysters and Crabs!

Oysters Buffet introduced by my housemate at Oscar’s Restaurant, Conrad Hotel! To celebrate my exam is over, we went there for a feast!

The Oysters there are realllyyy FRESH!!!

I always have stomach discomfort after eating Oysters, even from 5star hotels, but I am totally fine after eating the oysters at Oscar’s! There are 10 types of Oysters offered in Oscar’s , from France, Australia, Canada, Ireland and Scotland etc

IMG_2628

The Oysters here are only opened upon request~freshness guaranteed!

IMG_2629

See?

IMG_2642

I Love Scotland the MOST, it was creamy and huge!!! Not a fan of French, as they were all too salty!

IMG_2630

Forgot the name of this seafood, it tasted good with wasabi and soy sauce, the Japanese style!

IMG_2645

More pic of the oysters!

IMG_2635

The Caesar salad there is a must try too!

IMG_2653

The dessert were delectable too!

IMG_2651

Although I am not a chocolate lover, I did enjoy these chocolate balls!

IMG_2649

Other desserts I tried..

I also love their pasta! It was plain and simple but simply to my liking!

IMG_2656

Our wine of the Night – Pinot Blance from Leon Beyer. I absolutely love it!

The Buffet costs about S$60 per person and if you have a UOB card, every 1 adult in 4 dines free.

For more information you can visit their website.

The next day, I had seafood again!This time at Jumbo, National Stadium.

Finally I had a chance to taste Jumbo’s chili crab, verdict is that I prefers chili crab from No Sign Board. No Signboard one has stronger chili taste perhaps? Just individual preference I think.

IMG_2661

drunken prawn, It was so-so for me!

IMG_2662

Sesame fried tofu, again it was just alright. Somehow I feel Jumbo is a bit over-rated! Let me know if you think otherwise?

IMG_2669

Thanks to my lovely girlfriends who came to celebrate with me!

I think its time to stop eating seafood for a while! that is until next month!

I will be going to Hong Kong for Xmas………..and I think I should save up all my calories to have those tasty Hong Kong food!!!

Have a nice week ahead!!!
