Done with Guérande’s salt mash? Visit Guérande’s old town, it is a classified Historical Monument since 2004. It is 80km from Nantes. The entire old town is inside a fortified 1434m stone wall, with 4… Guérande is where the world’s most desired grade of salt comes from. This town is famed for its Fleur de Sel aka flower of salt. Like champagne, the name “Fleur de Sel of Guérande” is… Empties review on: Primark PS Blemish blaster, REN rosa centifolia 3-in-1 cleansing water, Clinique moisture surge overnight mask, Dermalogica precleanse balm, Clinique foaming sonic facial soap, Nuxe clarifying cream mask with rose petals, Naturie hatomugi skin conditioner, Muji cleansing oil, DHC face wash, Yves Rocher cleansing miceller oil pure calmille Starting a new series to encourage myself clearing out my cupboards LOL.

I buy them in cases and occasionally dream about them. Anyways, this trip was more of a ‘pilgrimage’ to Nissin. Just a little bit of history here. Mr Momofuku Ando 安藤 百福 1910-2007, invented THE chicken instant noodle (Chikin ramen チキンラーメン) in 1958. This revolutionised the world – quick meal to treat hungry salary men of Japan, inspiration to space travel meal, the benchmark for noodle preservation technology. The ultimate solution to long nights of gaming, of course. The museum housed the replica of the original kitchen where Mr Ando created the first instant noodle. Swimming in the wild was addictive. After I had a taste of it in Mossman Gorge, I was totally hooked and signed up for the waterfall tour. I took that last spot 😛 So glad that I made it. This is review post – Cape Trib Connections’ waterfall tour. Accommodation prices on Miyajima are well known to be unforgiving, so are ryokans. Introducing my proud affordable find, Sakuraya Ryokan. The location was SOOOO good. It was 5min walk from the ferry dock and 10min walk to the alluring Itsukushima Jinja 厳島神社, 宮島. Cannot be happier. Latest

Manga-Kissa まんが喫茶. Not all Manga Cafes are made equal. There are basic ones and the deluxe versions. Take a quick look before decide to ‘check-in’. Photos are forbidden inside. I managed to take some when there was no body around. I love pho! There’s magic in the Vietnamese broth and the wonders of rice noodles. After ‘phorathon’ in 13eme, here’s favourite and my worst. It was probably a good thing that I didn’t know about the celebrity status of this restaurant prior to the visit. I had no expectation and knew no hype. It was just a meet up with an old friend. In fact, I suggested let’s do Mc Donald *LOL* I just wanted to hang out. Environment: Lovely warm ambiance. Spacious and high ceiling. Toilet was spacious too; can improve by applying more diligence. Service: Great! Attentive and they even held the wine bottle properly (At last, someone who actually knew how to waiter properly) Food: They messed up my tuna steak – over cooked, way too much salt AND managed to make the fish texture hard (from dehydration?) 🙁 Fondant au chocolate… Inspired by my fairer doppelganger Stashy from Stash Matters. She said open tag, so I politely tag myself 😛 Sharing where to study French that is cheaper than Alliance Francaise in Paris and a few other ideas for fellow anglophones in Paris. It’s been 8 months in Paris! Yay & nay, because my immigration procedures are still not over. Anyhow, here’s to another round of 10 impressions of Paris.
