Day 2 - Kiyomizu tera （清水寺）

Mummy was tired out from the accumulated sleepless or late nights,... daddy (me) was just glad to finally take a good break.. and Zayne, well is just a baby... so all 3 of us slept in late.. till about 12 noon.. before we got up and get ready to go sight seeing

Zayne as usual is all smiles and cheerful whenever he is dressed up...
He is wearing the Polo Ralph pull-over from Auntie "Ah Huay", mummy's friend in tokyo.

Thank you Auntie "Huay".. Zayne "Ham"some and charming or not?

Kiyomizu was very close by, so we decided to take a nice winter stroll.. ha ha... too bad no snow, if not can romance romance mummy a bit :P

Kiyomizu tera, one of the main attractions in Kyoto (a must in Spring during the sakura blossoms) was very to our hotel, so we decided to see this first... It was a pretty cold day today highest was 11 celsius and lowest was ... errr well cold.. :P

see mummy and my eyebags ?? still recovering....





It was really cold and muumy says we absolutely need to take a break so she can feed Zayne boy, so we ducked into this nice cozy little outdoor noodle house, along the temple walking trail..

But of coz before feeding zayne, mummy says must take picture first (as usual)..
mummy says this noodle house very cool... of coz "cool"... its open air leh!!!
should be Cold man!!!



So while Zayne gets his energy boosting power milk from Mummy, I order a hot bowl of soba for mummy and myself and a tub of Tofu. Kyoto is famous for silky tofu, (hope I am not wrong).. Mummy says even softer than the best Dao-huay in S'pore :O

Mummy pretty or not?? me and my random "eye" for a nice picture :P
After this we headed down to downtown Kyoto to SHop shop shop!!



And guess where we went for dinner?? the same yummy restaurant last night. This time we were seated outside, so no nice to take picture of the dishes :P

This night we had flamed "triangle" beef (牛三角炙り), deep fry puffer fish (ふぐ唐),
seafood salad, breaded deep-fry Oysters (カキフライ), vinegar octopus (たこ酢), seared Chicken breast (mostly raw inside)(鳥わさ), octopus with wasabi　たこわさ

All were superb!! here's the restaurant website, its in japanese only
