We spent the afternoon walking the forested paths of Meiji Jingu. Gravel underfoot, towering trees overhead, barely a sound. Then we walked ten minutes down the road and hit Takeshita Street, where someone’s speaker was blasting J-pop at full volume and a shop the colour of a highlighter pen — Long! Longer!! Longest!!! — was selling the 10 Yen […]

After slurping down a comforting, steaming bowl of ramen at ICHIRAN in Asakusa for lunch, hubby and I hopped on the metro to check out one last shrine on our Tokyo itinerary: Meiji Jingu (Meiji Shrine) 明治神宮. Neither of us is religious, so our shrine visits aren’t about traditional prayer or specific rituals. Instead, it’s […]

Asakusa Menchi sells minced meat cutlets. […]

In one of my earlier posts, I shared about Nakamise Shopping Street and the snacks we tried while wandering around Sensoji Temple. But that wasn’t the full list. There were a few more food spots in the area that I deliberately left out, simply because I felt they deserved their own posts. These are the […]

In consultations, one of the first things patients considering eyelid surgery in Singapore want to work out is which procedure is most suitable for their concern. For some people, the goal is to create a more visible upper eyelid crease. Others may want to address uneven folds, excess skin, or eyelids that appear heavy or […]

Sensoji Temple wore us out. The crowds, the heat, the endless snapping of photos. We needed a sit-down, so we ducked into Carib Coffee Shop, a short stroll from the temple. No research, no shortlist.
