Layover at Plaza Premium Lounge Gateway@KLIA2

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Layover at Plaza Premium Lounge Gateway@KLIA2

After we had our kaiten sushi at the Kansai International Airport, we boarded out flight back to Kuala Lumpur. Since we arrived at almost midnight, we decided to stay a night to get a good rest and freshen up before our next leg of flight back to Kuching in 12 hours.

We took the 12-hour package(room+meal) of Plaza Premium Lounge Gateway@KLIA2. It wasn’t cheap though. It was about RM220(it’s early booking saver rate from Agoda some more) for a room and meal for 2 pax. However, after flying in a packed flight for so many hours and need to wait 12 hours for the next flight home, that’s the best we can get. At least we had our meals(supper+breakfast) sorted and enjoyed our privacy rather than staying in the capsule hotel at the airport.


Our room came with a double decker bed. I dislike the bed especially when you need to climb up. The stairs isn’t user friendly at all. It’s quite dangerous for short people and with bad balance like me. It’s designed in such a way that the angle is 90 degree and there’s no handrail to hold. The only support you can get is pulling yourself up to the bed with the bar at side of the bed(which is quite far away) and the mattress cover. I almost fell when I got down from the bed because of the angle with no handrail to support, and the last step were blocked by the mattress which made it impossible to properly position your feet.

There isn’t window so it’s pitch dark if you switch off all the lights. There’s light at the wall next to each bed if you need to use it. The room is not soundproof though. The toilet and the bathroom are separated and spacious enough. All amenities are provided. The air-conditioning unit is centralized.

The food served was quite basic but better than nothing especially when you arrive at almost midnight, you are dead hungry.

Overall, it was an OK stay albeit the bad design of the bed. Whether I will stay here again? Maybe… If I really need to stay overnight at KLIA2. At least it’s convenient and with en-suite. There’s another airport hotel on the same floor which is similar, rate is similar too, I might try this instead depending on the rate. Capsule hotel is definitely a no-go for me.

Eaten My First Kaiten Sushi at Nigirino Tokube, Kansai International Airport, Terminal 1, 2F

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Eaten My First Kaiten Sushi at Nigirino Tokube, Kansai International Airport, Terminal 1, 2F

This is my last post about my trip to Osaka in summer 2018. Guess what?!?! Heading there again in August ;p Finally… Took me almost a year to finish this post.


Throughout the 6 days in Osaka, I didn’t eat any sushi. My first kaiten sushi in Japan was at Nigirino Tokube, Kansai International Airport, Terminal 1, 2F. There were many eateries at the airport but since it was lunch hour, it was packed everywhere. This is the only eatery that had fast turnover and we didn’t wait too long.


People might be thinking we are crazy to eat so much raw food before boarding our flight hahaha… Oh well… We didn’t thought of this when we were there. Good thing, nothing bad happened to out tummy hahaha… Frankly, I’m not worry about this in Japan.


There were 5 of us. I don’t remember the total bill because I did not pay for it. These are the food we ate, some we took twice or even thrice. We walloped over 20 plates of sushi ;p Some I forgot to take photos too.


One thing to remember, once you took the plate away from the kaiten, do not put it back, otherwise the alarm will be triggered. Opppss… I did that ;p Lesson learnt. Decide what you want then take it. Do not even remove it from the kaiten even for less than 0.1 seconds. Once it’s not on the kaiten, it’s considered ‘sold’.


They were soooo good! I’m sure it’s cheaper here to eat all these. It will definitely cost a bomb if you are to eat them in Malaysia.


Nigirino Tokube serves genuine sushi made with carefully-preserved traditional techniques with specially-selected fresh local ingredients.


You can order from screen on your table which is multi-lingual if you can’t find the food you want on the kaiten and the sushi will be sent to you via special track next to your table, it will shoot out to your table via the track hahaha…

If you are at the Kansai International Airport and wondering what to eat and if you have strong stomach or you are not afraid of eating raw food before flight, you can consider this place.


I think I will likely come back here to eat next month before my flight departs to Kuala Lumpur provided I still have enough money left at the end of the trip :P.


It was satisfying… Burp…

[Vlog] Ep. 15: Candy Magic Mini Hair Straightener Powered by Power Bank Below RM60 (Unbox & Try)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on [Vlog] Ep. 15: Candy Magic Mini Hair Straightener Powered by Power Bank Below RM60 (Unbox & Try)

Was so tempted to get the Candy Magic Mini Hair Straightener when I came across it in Althea. I bought it and here’s the unbox and first impression video that I’ve done.

Great for quick fix or small amount of hair. Very suitable for those with short hair. Please don’t be turn off by my failed attempts LOL!! It’s my power bank’s problem. By the way, you can also connect it directly to your phone charger. It is very handy. If you don’t have access to a power outlet, the power bank can save the day.

I’m currently occupied with something, something fun ;p hahah… Few more blog posts pending. I’ll be back soon!

What to Eat at Takashimaya Osaka?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on What to Eat at Takashimaya Osaka?

Just going to share the two eateries that we’ve been to when we were in Takashimaya Osaka. You can consider going there as it was the locals who brought us there.


These are the street views around the area.

Kamameshi Hanakoume is located on 8F is where you can get various selections of donburi. Those I’m sharing here are only valid for summer 2018, it was the menu on offer.

These are the side dishes that came with the donburi. We ordered 4 sets of donburi. Each set was priced at 3,000 yen.


Left: Also one of the side dishes.
Right: I couldn’t recall what’s this, I think it should be octopus.


Left: Abalone? I’m not sure too hahaha…
Right: Unagi.


Left: This should be mix seafood.
Right: Our dessert, Matcha ice cream.

The price range for lunch is from 1,620 yen, while dinner is from 2,700 yen. The food quality is good. In fact, a set can be shared among 2 pax of small to average eaters.

Next, for dessert, we went to Lobby Cafe Fascino located on 7F. Very popular place for cakes and pastries. The queue was rather long.




Look! Do they look delicious?

We ordered 3 types of cakes…

Left: Muscat(grape) tart, the grapes was crunchy and sweet. The overall wasn’t too sweet. My first time eating this type of grape.
Right: The mix fruit tart was nice too.


Left: This is chocolate mousse. Good thing was that it’s not sickly sweet too. Very rich and creamy.
Right: Hahaha… It’s the mix fruit tart again. Just another angle LOL!!

If you would like to have tea or desserts in style, you can consider this place. The price range for drinks is from 720 yen, while light meals is from 750 yen.

There’s many other eateries in this shopping mall. If you have higher budget for meal, you can have your meals in the shopping mall. Otherwise, you can opt to buy your meals at the convenience store, that would save you a lot!
