walked to the nearby Juso station to take the Hankyu line. if tobs makes me walk to the "nearest" JR station again i will slaughter him. the "nearest" one was like 45 mins walk away or sth. almost died walking there the day before.
was supposed to go to the Osaka tourist info centre to buy our one-day passes and ask questions. but when we got to the station, there were *drumroll 26 EXITS. but we eventually found our way around though we did get sidetracked bcos of a wonderful banana aroma. it was so strong and enticing i knew i HAD TO eat whatever that thing was. so i got tobs to ask abt it. and we went into the nearby bakery to ask what product it was tt was giving off tt heavenly aroma (so tt we can buy and consume it immediately).
the salesgirl looked abit sheepish and apologetic when she answered us. well. it turned out tt the smell came frm the nxt door belgium waffle shop. it was very embarrassing but we genuinely thought it was the product of the bakery okay! so we went to the belgium waffle shop and indeed the banana waffles were heavenly. i totally regret not eating more more more. sigh.
travelled down to Shinsaibashi and wanted to find a good place for lunch. the helpful station master approached us and recommended okonomiyaki stores to us. apparently Fugetsu is not looked upon too kindly. i guess it has been commercialised. i was very attracted to this particular shop tt does okono in the style of cartoon characters so off we went!
it was quite a beat up old shop. looked like it was passed down for several generations? the shop front was not very noticeable. and the kitchen is right at the front, seating's at the back. so it was all quite weird. but the premium modanyaki with all the meat fillings was only 1100Y!! i also got their home-brewed plum sake. which kicked arse i tell u. super good.
the guy who served us looked abt our age. he could speak abit of english and was extremely friendly. when we almost wanted to order a 2nd serving he actually tried to tell us 1 would be quite sufficient. other ppl would be more than glad to serve u the 2nd one cos its extra revenue for them man. nice guy.
then it was shopping along Shinsaibashi. went to this sweets shop and ate really nice and fluffy buns with custard filling. immediately bought lots to stock up in the hotel fridge. afterall, we'd be staying for 6 nights! went to uniqlo to look around too before going back to Juso for dinner.
every night we'd get 1000Y worth of dinner voucher to spend at My Dear's restaurant. how wonderful is that!! we ordered a hamburg steak set and a pork chop set which usually would cost 1000Y EACH but we only had to pay 1000Y. wonderful! thanks to tobs and God we get all these fantastic deals! and we also packed a cup dessert frm Konigs - it was heavenly. i wished we could eat one EACH!
