Let's Travel•Eat•Play!

Took the Airport Limousine bus to Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay  and as expected, the room would only be available after 3pm. So, 2 sleep deprived parents,with 2 boys who were equally sleep deprived but still ever energetic,had to endure about 4hrs of waiting time. Sure, we could have gone shopping nearby but it's not my style to do retail therapy & bored my boys to sleep. Always remember, bored + tired kids = uncooperative kids! Luckily mama already had it planned! Tokyo Sea Life Park would be perfect! Just 1 station away from Maihama & good enough for a 2hrs visit, best part was the kids enter free! So even if it wasn't impressive enough, the pinch would be lighter too! But hang on, it was a really good & beautiful aquarium! Totally worth paying ¥700/adult! Look for the ferris wheel and this bridge after exiting the train station, it's an 8mins walk with qu

There are some mornings whereby I'll prepare & fry up "home made frozen food" while both the boys are in school. These are commonly known as 常備菜 & are my time saver!

There's an economic rice stall (经济杂菜饭) in our neighbourhood that serves  "Bak Par" the way we love! "Bak Par" is 肉扒 (pork chop) in dialect. As it's from economic rice stall, it's simple marinated aka no-frills! I tried to replicate the taste of this 古早味肉扒 and while this may not be exactly the same, it has become one of our favorites! 😋 Old Fashion Crispy Pork Chop Ingredients: 200gm Pork Loin (slice into 5pcs) Seasoning: 3/4tsp Sugar 1/2tsp Five Spice Powder Dashes of Black Pepper Dashes of Garlic Powder 3/4TBS Light Soy Sauce 2TBS Huadiao Wine 2tsp Cornflour Fry Mix: Cornflour (amount as required) 1 Egg,beaten Panko/Breadcrumbs (amount as required) Method: •Wash & dab dry pork loin.
