Yamamoto-Ya Honten is famous for its miso rich and bonito-based soup with homemade udon noodles, eggs, green onion & chicken. This is a very "Nagoya-style" dish.
We spotted our reseravtion on the restaurant's notice board. There was a Merlion, stating our country of origin. :)))
Menu with pics say a thousand words! :)
What's in the pot? :)
Tada! Perfect for a chilly day! :D
We bought the dried udon for Angie & family to try too!
Shops close early in Nagoya, at about 8pm. We managed to grab some awesome cakes from Gramercy before heading back for the day. :)
My favorite patisserie in Nagoya. :)
I love love their strawberry shortcake! It's the pastry store's No.1 seller.
Lin should be posing with mango pudding instead! ;)
I couldn't resist the double chocolate tart too! :D
Even though I'm really really sleepy... :)))
Dad added mango pudding for everyone but me to share. :)
We ate our first nite in Nagoya away... :)

This has to be one of the most disappointing Marriott properties we stayed at. Marriott's motto - spirit to serve is non-existent here.
The only saving grace was its superb location. It's just right above JR Nagoya Station and other major subway lines, as well as JR Takashimaya and smaller shops, cafes & restaurants. :)
Oh and spacious room.

Lin signed us up for ceramic painting session at Noritake Garden. :)
Painting on ceramic is totally new to us.
We could choose to paint on either plates or mugs.
We could also choose to create our own patterns to paint or opt for a few ready patterns to do so.
Without our thinking caps, opting for ready patterns to paint seemed the easiest way out for us.
Challenge 1: We do not know the actual color we are painting on the ceramic. The color of the paint changes after it's being heated in the kiln.
Challenge 2: We do not know how much water & glue to add to the paint
Challenge 3: Painting while in La La Land... :)))
Mom & Lin at work! :)
My dessert plate, done in a sleepy state. *.* I wonder how the final work would look like after it's being sent to the kiln and deliver back home to Singapore.
For now, give me my bed & pillow please...

It's been a while since we had a family trip! We are so in need of a break. :) Very very much & I couldn't emphasise more.
After dropping our luggages off at Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel, we went looking for Torikai - Meieki Minami Restaurant. We were in for a chicken feast! :D Our restrictive diet was of course on a vacation too! :)))
This place is patronised by celebs! :)
Japanese only menu *.* Thank goodness, there was a waiter who manages some English. :)
Lin wanted to try the restaurant's famous Tebasaki (chicken wings that has won award for 3 consecutive years), but it's available for dinner only. The staff gave us complimentary karaage instead. :)
Cochin Chicken
Oyako Don
Both the Cochin chicken and oyako don came with small side dishes of pickles, mushrooms and miso soup.
Savouring our first meal in Nagoya despite the after effects of a red-eye flight... :) I need my bed & pillow please...*.*

Another of my favorite Vietnamese food, Banh Mi. :) Just gotta have it before leaving Ho Chi Minh.
Banh Mi Huynh Hoa is famous for their Banh Mi. :) The pate and the bread is just so delicious! :D It's something I can eat everyday for breakfast or tea.
Freshly toasted French loaves... :)
with fresh pate...perfect match!

Our driver was apprehensive with his "are you sure???" NothingWe want to try out this roadside stall nonetheless. :)
There is something unique about eating at roadside stalls in Vietnam. The tables and chairs/stools are tiny! I find it really cute to gather around a small table and have a feast. :) It's like a picnic, yet not quite.
The Lunch Lady is nestled within a quiet neighbourhood. :)
The Lunch Lady serves noodle soup. The menu changes everyday, creating a sense of surprise for customers I guess. :)
Spring rolls
Rare sight of Lin eating by the roadside :)
Barbecue pork noodles
Haven't eaten yellow noodles for the longest time
I'm so deprived....the noodles were awesome. :)
