Flew SAS domestic the other day, and thought I should give some info since it’s not very much available in English about what is included. The trip I took was from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city, in the South. When flying SAS plus, which basically is their intra-Europe premium economy, or… Continue reading SAS plus domestic flight review

Japanese style curry at Curry House CoCo Ichibanya in Shinjuku
One of the days in Tokyo we had been walking for ages in the rain. We were cranky, tired and hungry. That is usually not an ideal situation to start discussing where to eat. We stood outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building when it struck me; “Curry, I want Japanese curry”. After a quick look at… Continue reading Japanese style curry at Curry House CoCo Ichibanya in Shinjuku
Homemade crispy fried sweet potato fries
After years of testing, I last night, finally, managed to get my sweet potato fries crispy. I have my own deep-fryer at home and managed to get “restaurant quality” fries many years ago, but I haven’t mastered sweet potatos fries, until now. You will need: 1 large sweet potato or 4-5 smaller ones Corn starch,… Continue reading Homemade crispy fried sweet potato fries
Two really good tonkatsu restaurants we visited in Japan
One of my favourite Japanese dishes is tonkatsu. Tonkatsu or panko crusted deep-fried pork cutlets is a dish similar to a schnitzel with juicy pork covered by a crunchy panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) crust. During our recent trip to Japan, we had tonkatsu twice; once at Wako, where we went last time in Tokyo, and once at… Continue reading Two really good tonkatsu restaurants we visited in Japan
B-Mobile visitor sim card
I used B-Mobile’s Visitor sim card for surfing on the go while in Japan recently. Conveniently you can pick it up as you arrive in Japan, or order it to your hotel so it’s waiting for you when you check in (as I did). Just a note, this is not sponsored in any way. We just… Continue reading B-Mobile visitor sim card
What to see and do during five days in Kyoto, Japan
During our Japan trip, we spent five days in beautiful Kyoto. Fortunately, my younger brother’s (who we were there to visit) school holidays coincided with the sakura, or the cherry tree blossom that Kyoto is famous for. This made Kyoto even more beautiful, adding a layer of pink, white and purple (from the also blooming plum… Continue reading What to see and do during five days in Kyoto, Japan
Kobe beef dinner at Gyu-an Ginza
One of the best meals of the trip, and probably one of my best meals ever was enjoyed at Gyu-An in Ginza, Tokyo. Gyu-An specialise in meat, as in good quality stuff, such as wagyu beef and the world famous kobe beef. After quite thorough research we decided that Gyu-An felt most bang for the… Continue reading Kobe beef dinner at Gyu-an Ginza
Delicious sushi at Musashi kaiten sushi in Kyoto
The best sushi, and unfortunately one of the only times we had any during the trip, was at Musashi Sushi in Kyoto. The sushi is served kaiten style, which means the chefs make sushi and then put it on a conveyor belt which diners are conveniently placed around, and then you make your pick as… Continue reading Delicious sushi at Musashi kaiten sushi in Kyoto
