Day 4 29/12/2017 Tokyo - Paul Bassett Shinjuku, Pokemon Center(Ikebukuro & Skytree), Nakiryu, Sensoji, Skytree Tower, Tokyo Tower, Shinjuku Illuminations, Katsuya Shinjuku

It's Day 4 in tokyo japan. I had spent day 1 in tokyo, day 2 and 3 in Kyoto. Damn Hundred Stay hotel has such a good view of the city. :)

Finally had time to find a nice cafe in tokyo to have breakfast in. I went to Paul Bassett Shinjuku. Super big space to dine in and they actually allow people to smoke in their premises which is such a disappointment but their food is alright la.

Needed coffee to jump start the day! One of the criteria for breakfast in tokyo for me is that they must have coffee, so i will mostly head to coffeeshops and Paul Bassett fits the criteria. They are also opened at 7:30am on weekdays and 8am on saturdays which is perfect for people who like to start their day early. Ordered the egg mashed potato which was one of their special that has limited quantity. It is basically an half boiled egg on top of mashed potatoes served with toast and salad. We also ordered the ricotta cheese pancake with maple syrup. It also has bananas. lol

Went to ikebukuro sunshine city to visit the mega tokyo pokemon centre. It's too bad that they dont sell the pokeball power bank already. :( Went to 3 stores and all of them do not sell that already.

I have tried Tsuta Ramen in Singapore and it is underwhelming to me. Didn't go and try that in Tokyo due to time constraint, but still got time for this. XD Anyways, we braved the cold for few hours for this. It was seriously the most excruciating wait. lol

Read everywhere that the dandan noodles is a must order when you're there so i did the same. Omg it was the most delicious bowl of ramen for this trip. The bowl of ramen comes with wonton and an egg. The broth wasn't that spicy but creamy and provided the warmth for travellers that queued out in the cold. The noodle texture was springy and al dente! They certainly lives up to its name as the cheapest 1 Michelin ⭐️ meal.

We went to Asakusa to visit sensoji temple! You will pass by this street that is full of street food and souvenirs. After this, you will get to the Kaminarimon which is the gates with the giant lanterns. Must take a picture with that. hahaha. Didn't take pictures inside the temple as i have been there before.

Walked from sensoji to the skytree tower! Always nice to have a different perspective of the sky tree. Last time I took a train there , and this time I walked there from asakusa. Hence, we had a different view of the sky tree from another place! 🌈 The pastel sky is also very nice! You can also see the moon. This is my first time going to the skytree pokemon center. got lost inside. lol Bought a matcha latte at saryo tsujiri as we were thirsty. Clearly cant get enough of matcha coz had too much in kyoto.

I went to the tokyo tower many years ago during the day time, so i made it a point to come here at night instead! So gorgeous at night with it being lit up! We also went to check out the lightings in Shinjuku. The pink lights are so beautiful too.

Katsuya Shinjuku. Go here if you’re looking for some quick Katsu Don fix! 🍚 They ate opened early in the morning so you can go there for breakfast if you want. 😂 We came here for dinner instead! :)
