Japan - Day 6 (Part 2): Kyoto Food Trail 1

Eating non-stop is a must whenever you go on tour, and your selection of food should always be the specialities of the country or some local delicacies which you just simply can't get when you are back in your own country. Thus, I abide by this rule that irrespective of what I see, what I am offered, or how awful the food looks, I never turn away from it because who knows you might have wasted the opportunity of sampling something that only comes once in your lifetime.
Hence, the gist of the travelling philosophy is: Eat till you drop dead!

This is something worth-trying.
I can assure you that you can never get something similar in Malaysia.
Okonomiyaki (大阪燒) is a Japanese pancake made from a variety of ingredients such as green onions, pork, squid, shredded vegetable etc.
The cooked pancake is topped with otafuku sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed and bonito flakes
Crumble Pudding
This type of dessert is available in any Circus-K convenience shop.
It's rich and creamy
