Japan has an incredible culinary landscape that is as diverse as the cities themselves. As we travelled throughout the Kanto, Chubu and Kansai regions we were swept up in the glorious food that Japan has to offer. I hope you enjoy this compilation from my most recent trip to Osaka, Tokyo, Kobe, Hakone, Himeji and Kyoto.

Japan Visual Food Diary
in food diary, travel
Food is found everywhere in Japan. On main streets, down alleyways, at the peak of the tallest buildings, basements, underground passageways and located deep within the stations, there is always food to be had. Seats are placed at market stalls, restaurants look small but then open up to a vast space and delicious smells and for other places to eat - it's standing room only.
Everything is delicious, authentic and in some cases awesomely weird. An inconspicuous hole in the wall can present to you the most delicious bowl of ramen. Food can be bought through vending machines, department stores or using tickets and cool button contraptions. The quality of food is high, the smells are amazing and when compared to other large scale global economies, the food is extremely well priced. You can't go past the Japanese staples - ramen, izakaya, tempura, tonkatsu and sushi.
Singapore Visual Food Diary

Okay. There definitely has been a shift to the sweet in this Singapore Food Diary. Singapore is awash with cuisines to eat, due to its rich heritage of Chinese, Malaysian, Indian and Indonesian influences. Many of these dishes are found in food courts, old shop-houses and kiosks. There are also just as many savoury dishes available for consumption as there are sweet. To really see if I'm telling the truth I guess you'll just have to visit won't you?
Malaysia Visual Food Diary

There is no lack of food in Malaysia. Eating is the national sport of Malaysians and they live and breathe food. This post is an assortment of some of the magical and tasty food I had the pleasure of consuming while in KL and PJ, but if you'd like a complete run down of Malaysia's Signature Dishes, click here. You know me, being a typical food lover I take so many photographs of food, so although you can't reach your hand out and pull dishes from your screen (technology hasn't quite gotten there yet), do enjoy the visuals.
