I love Japan, to the point where I am lost for words to describe my love for Japan, or even to describe Japan itself, but one thing for sure, it should be on everyone’s bucketlist and you better believe me on this one.
My Hokkaido blog posts are seriously one of the most requested this year and it's been one month since the trip and I have been missing Hokkaido so badly and I found myself reopening the folders and reedit the photos (and I don't know if it's just me but I sometimes can edit one photo to several editing style lol). I've been dreaming of going for so long and finally got the chance to travel and on top of it, shared the happiness with my sister, clearly one of the best highlight of the year that I'll forever keep in mind.
This post is going to be long & heavy on photos, but please ENJOY!
A lot of people refer to Disneyland as the happiest place on earth, and yes for 12 hours in my life I did feel like I was in that state, I mean I am pretty happy most of the times, but maybe it was me missing being a child, and the fact that I was there made the feeling even more! NOPE... not going to be dramatic this time I purely want to spread the joy and share you guys my experience in the fabulous Disneyland Hong Kong!

First things first, my latest trip to Hong Kong with my best friends happen to be ONE OF THE BEST TRIPS EVER! EVER!
Bali is one of those places that I will never get bored of, as how I usually described Bali on my previous Bali posts, it’s just a place you can’t get enough of, there’s always something new, something mysterious and something addicting that makes you crave for more of what they have in store. Bali is short to say, amazing. One of the main reasons why I am grateful and fortunate to be born here in Indonesia.

Last month, I had a weekend staycation at InterContinental Bali and I wanna share you guys my experience spending the weekend there endulging the resort and some of the activities I did there. I had to separate the whole post into two posts or else it will be crazy long, this one itself is already photo heavy. PS: in no way this is a paid advertisement so my review is totally unbiased.

LINE is an amazing brand and establishment, what started out as a chatting and messenger platform can now really expand its brand into something that’s probably unexpectable by themselves at the first place, all thanks to their unbelievably cute characters. If you’re an avid LINE user, I bet Brown, Cony, Moon and Sally are some of the familiar names for you.

Garosu-gil is my favorite district in Seoul, and I believe, for all fashion enthusiasts and cafe-hoppers! While district like Hongdae, Myeongdong and Dongdaemun offer the more affordable fashion options, Garosu-gil offers posher selections and cafes that will treat your eyes and tummies! The district is known for its “tree-lined street”, and that’s actually, literally what the word “Garosu-gil” means. I am going to talk about Garosu-gil and more Seoul districts more specifically on separate posts, what I am trying to say now is that the cute LINE Friends Cafe and Store is located here in this district!

Getting here was pretty easy, tho it depends where you started. The easiest is definitely via taxi, but if you’re taking the subway, hop off at Sinsa station exit 8, and Garosu-gil is just like 5 minutes walking distance. The LINE Friends Cafe and Store will be on the left side of the street.
I was greeted by this long queue outside the store, I really thought that I needed to be on waiting list just to get in (and I usually “pass”), and as I got closer, turned out the queue was for this GINORMOUS brown doll where people, even non-visitors, are allowed to come and snap one or two pics with Brown.
I might have this weird obsession towards a character, but it’s not just a freaking character, it’s BROWN! #defensive
Must admit I didn’t buy anything from the store, but I know most of you would also take advantage of this open store just for pictures! Admit! I mean the items were very cute (and slightly overpriced) but I just didn’t need one!
PHOTOS!!!









The LINE cafe was located downstairs, alongside the extention of the LINE store. The cafe was not spacious, more like petite-medium with some chairs, table and a communal seating. You could check out the pastries at their glass display table! Had their mouthwatering looking Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Cream (KRW4800), Two Macarons (KRW 6000), their XL Iced Latte (KRW 5200), Two ice creams (KRW 7600).

The store somehow felt like a playground!


Cakes and pastries!






Pretty much what I ordered:
The macarons were uber duper cute, especially the Brown one #teambrown, each macarons are sold for KRW 3000 (IDR 39k) each, not cheap, but flavor wise, acceptable.
The cupcake (KRW 4800/IDR 62,5k) was quite dry, but the cream certainly came to the rescue, the XL iced latte was just ginormous! I couldn’t even finish it even after carrying it around, the ice cream was quite enjoyable even though it was a tad milky for my liking, it’s not those creamy textured soft serve, theirs had this icy texture to it.
Ice cream – KRW 3800 (IDR 49,4k - cup/cone)


XL Iced Latte – KRW 5200 (IDR 67,6k)
I shared everything with mom and spent around KRW 23000 or IDR 300k #WhileInKorea

To be completely honest, their cakes and pastries were not out of the world special. They’re mostly just cute, but the thing is, I felt this big urge to come and visit, it’s like my trip won’t be complete without it, well at least as a Seoul first timer, but I can see myself coming back! :)
Thank you for reading!

My visit to Dubai left impressions that were totally unforgettable, well, a classic for a first timer! It’s undoubtedly one of the cleanest and tidiest cities I’ve ever seen as well as the hottest (literally). Four days is a short time for travelling in my standard, but my latest trip to the most populous city in the UAE was eye-opening and surprising in a way. If you haven’t been to Dubai before, I hope this feature can be this little guide of knowledge before you actually going, but for those who have been, let’s take this as something to bring back the memories:
HELLO to those who are still reading this blog! Basically, my blog was half-dead last week and left with no post for a week since I just came back from my AMAZING trip from London and Paris! It was fun and I quite enjoyed it, and in the same time broke as joke because everything's VERY expensive in Europe, but not with the shopping! OMG amazing deals for branded stuff, got myself some goodies but I won't brag about it here... and don’t expect me to edit the photos soon as I captured quite a lot and will edit them when I have time KWA KWA, but if you follow my Instagram, some photos uploaded already ;).

The name “Mazda” is not a baby when it comes to the automotive business, well indeed it's still some people's babe tho. Their cars are stylish, sporty and unconventional. First founded and established in Japan back in 1920 and after more than 9 decades, it’s one of the most populars automobile brands in the world.
Still reminiscing my days in Singapore and I am finally it’s because I am representing eatandtreats and Indonesia at the World Gourmet Forum in Singapore just last month and on this post I am going to be sharing so many newsworthy stories for those of you who adore a little touch of class and luxury, especially those who are such big loyal fans of Singapore Airlines.
