Dreams Do Come True This Christmas

Mickey and Minnie Mouse

It was a great week for the kids last week as we brought them to Disneyland. It was a dream come true as the kids have been asking to visit Disneyland again since we brought them to Hong Kong Disneyland a few years back. This year we decided to bring them to the Disneyland in Japan so that they could have a different Disney experience now that they are slightly older.

Here is a list of 10 items of the things that we did during our vacations.

The kids taking a break

1. The kids got to experience their first winter with temperatures dipping to about -5 degrees at night. The scarfs that they made really came in handy.

2. The kids and I got to eat our fill of sushi. There were so much variety and some of the sushi we ordered were not readily available here in Singapore.

9. We got to go on many different rides in Disneyland and Disneysea. I preferred Disneysea better as it was more family friendly and less crowded.

Pickles and Squid Ink Cheong Fun

Pickles

Whenever you go to a Chinese restaurant they would  serve you a small saucer of pickles and also some nuts.  The kids would all rush for the salted nuts and finish them up even before I get a chance to take some photos of them. During this particular visit to the Chinese restaurant it was the same so I only got to photograph the pickles as the kids do not take spicy foods.

Squid ink Cheong Fun

This was an interesting dish. Chee Cheong Fun normally comes in white and sometimes there are fillings like prawns or char siew inside. This particular one did not have any fillings inside but was doused with sesame oil instead. It tasted yummy and was visually different from the normal Cheong Fun which we use to eat.

Did you eat anything interesting this week?
