Stir- fried Chive flowers, Tofu and Crab sticks

Sorry to bother all with my scheduled Japan travel posts, but I am appreciate very much to those who left comment even i was away for vacation. Actually i spent quite a lot of time trying to finish this Japan travel post before i go for vacation, in fact still have 1-2 two more posts to go..hehehe..
After 7days of eating Bali foods (Babi guling, Bebek(duck), pork ribs & etc), soon i returned home, i really miss Nasi Lemak and Chinese foods..So I cooked this tofu dish, also cooked white cut chicken, stir fried green veggie and ABC soup soon i returned from Bali. This is a typical homecook Chinese dish that i like to prepare for my family.

Nara Koen 奈良公園 and Nara's deer, Osaka Japan

On our last day in Osaka, we decided to visit Nara park instead of Kobe. At first we were thinking to try the most expensive Kobe beef in Kobe, but last minutes dropped the idea since we have never seen a park that has hundreds of freely roaming deer.

Kaiseki 懐石料理 and Ramen at JR Kyoto station, train Bento, Kyoto Japan

I have heard of  Kaiseki 懐石料理  but never try before. Finally i got a chance to try this in Kyoto. On the last day, we went to this restaurant located at the JR Kyoto train station (if i could remember it located at the 10th floor)..

Lunch at Arashiyama 岚山, Togetsukyo Bridge 游渡月桥, Kyoto Japan

Once we came out from Kitano Tenmangu shrine, we checked through the map and realized that the next destination Arashiyama was located quite far from here, and it seem we have to change few buses to get there. In order not to waste our value last day in Kyoto, we decided to catch a cab to go there. Soon we arrived, we went for lunch first before heading to Bamboo forest of Sagano 嵯峨野竹林.

Kitano Tenmangu shrine 北野天满宫, Kyoto Japan

After leaving Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) 金閣寺, we walked to another temple 北野天满宫 located nearby and this temple is free of extrance fee (finally enter a temple without paying money ^_^) . We almost lost our way, called for help from this group of students, they were so nice and lead us there since they were also on their way to this temple.
