Aeon Supermarket in Hiroshima 190401

-
We spent our last day spending a lazy day shopping in AEON Supermarket located north of Hiroshima station near Shimo-Gion Station. We took a train there, where we need to press a button for the train door to open when the JR train reach the station. Initially, we wanted to have steam boat at one of the Japanese Restaurant. But it was lunch time and packed with Japanese diners. So we decided to walk around and look for some snacks. 
We decided to head towards AEON supermarket for some snacks. To our delight, we found this doughnut shop serving long doughnuts and coffe at 100yen only 100yen each. Later I learnt from my friends that it is called churros and they made it big. Very delicious, cryspy on the outside, soft inside. I think it is more delicious than Mister Donut.
We also found out that there is a food court located on the 3rd level with all kinds of Japanese food. Something like our Food Republic- Price point like Food Republic too. Tried the clam rice. Taste like "Lo Mai Fun"

Never go wrong with ramen

A little disappointed with this. Very little fish.

Hiroshima Airport and Limousine Bus

-
Image
This is the view from the plane when arriving Hiroshima. Mountainous and calm.  The airport is small, surrounded by mountains.  The first thing we landed was to activate our StarHub Happy Card Roaming service. For some reason, we failed to get it activated. It was only when we reach hotel that we realised Airport Wifi is not strong enough to activate the card. We also has issue turning on our wifi as well. As a note, the SilkAir check in counter will only opens at 8.25am for us to check in. (Departure time 10.25). So no point going early.  There is a information counter (immediately when you exit the arrival hall), where we can get transport ticket here too. For Limousine bus ticket to hiroshima, there are ticketing machines next door, behind the bus stop. We only realized it after queuing so long for our ticket and miss a bus. We waited for 1 hour for the next bus. (Their bus schedule will be cut once during off peak) We also realise...

Hiroshima- snacks from convenient stores

-

I am a fan of convenient stores in Japan. While I was in Tokyo, I got all my 100yen stuff from Lawson Mart and even won lucky dip for 2 cans of beer from spending over 1000 yen worth of goods. My hunt for breakfast items will start immediately when I step in Japan. Lawson Mart - During Sakura season, it is so wonderful to see these items at affordable prices. All less than 200 yen each packet. Unfortunately, I was not able to bring them home as items were meant for limited period and stocks only. The green ones has green tea (real tea) bun with red bean fillings, the pink ones has plum paste in it. Very unique. The yellow item is a egg sponge cake. Their egg sponge cake is very spongy, fine and really delicious. Family Mart- There is 1 family mart located at the ground floor of our Hotel (Daiwa Roynet). A day ends with a trip to this mart every day. From top left clockwise  : Steam sponge cake, red bean pancake, sakura theme pancake and white sponge cake. My favourite ...

Nakau - Our new found Beef Don in Hiroshima. Located just few steps  away from our Hotel. A good place for late dinner as the shop close late  Our 1st try on 26 Mar 2018, Only 390yen for the beef don, and 220 for the akari and taopok udon. Similar to Matsuya Beef don, taste good at affordable rate. 27 Mar 18, not able to hold our excitement over our new find, we decided to come back again for the beef don and try out the grilled beef. Delicious. We ate these for the next day too The joint served other food like chicken cutlet and sword fish sashimi with rice. But we still feel the beef don is the best. So we have it for the next day again, and decided we should really stop and try other food instead. Yes, next time if I visit Japan, this will be another shop that I will hunt them down for a meal. In addition to Matsuya.
