6 Things To Do In Okinawa, Japan - Part 1

It's been a year, I didn't updated my blog! Maintaining a blog was never easy like Instagram (@foodlovers). Just clicked upload picture and shared it to all followers with few descriptions. My very first Japan stops will be at Okinawa, Japan.  

Have you ever heard of Okinawa before? Most of the people wondering where is it located of this island. Okinawa Prefecture is the southernmost prefecture of Japan.



1.Cape Manzamo 万座毛

Cape Manzamo is a scenic rock formation near Onna Village (Onna-Son) in the Kunigami District of Okinawa Prefecture.




Cape Manzamo comprises all of these spots! The symbol of the cape was the top left picture. Cape
Manzamo has a 20-meter high limestone cliff which looks like an elephant's nose. I was there for only 20 minutes due to time limited for joining a tour. Wished to stay longer and enjoy the view.

2. Yakiniku Station Bambohe, Kokusai Dori


Last visit on Naha and I choose this restaurant as farewell. You have to make bookings first when you arrived there and they will be giving you selected time slots to eat due to a lot customers. If you planning to eat during lunch then you better make booking during morning. Are you a meat lover? This is the place and heaven for you! It's just crossroad next to the market on Kokusai Dori and 5mins walk to Yui Station.

Price is quite reasonable and actually cheap, 1150 Yen (RM37.50) for weekday lunch, 1380 (RM45) Yen for weekend lunch and 1960 Yen (RM63.90) for dinner. For 90 minutes max and all inclusive.
Meat selection around 10 including pork, beef, steak, sausage, minced chicken, small fish.Other selection include vegetable salads, soba, fried noodle and rice, dessert, appetizer, soft drinks and ice cream of blue seal. I loved squid ink soup at here and tasted so good!

The Busena Marine Park are located at Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park. This was the highlight attractions of the tour I joined that day. You don't need to get yourself wet to see underwater sea life! How awesome right? They do have underwater observatory as well.

Coastlines of Okinawa, Japan (On the way from Naha to Busena Marine Park)
I'm using my IPhone 5 to take these picture inside the bus when I'm on the way by tour bus to my Glass Boat Tour @ Busena Marine Park. Thats the beauty of the Okinawa, Japan coastlines. I miss this view so much until I set as desktop wallpaper =D. I would love to do some picnic if I had another chance to return back there by just enjoy the breeze and eat some foods with your partner.

Cappuccino Garden Cafe @ Happy Garden OUG

Yoohoo readers, if you're still around. I heard about this cafe from my sister who got to know about this cafe from a friend. Directions given were misleading and the directions given online were even more misleading! One said it was near Steven's Corner. It's way far from Steven's Corner. @@ Not even walking distance from the mamak.

Anyway my dad knows the names of roads so we got there in one piece XD Judging by its interior I already like the place. I'm a cafe person I guess. Oh oh can paktor here :P This cafe is indeed a hidden cafe.



This cafe reminded me of a cafe my friend brought me to before Sunday service somewhere in SS I-don't-know-the-number. 
Below are the food and drinks my family and I ordered.
Everything tastes good.

Mushroom Soup, RM 7.50

Toast of Paris (essentially a French Toast but with better bread, not the usual bread), RM 5.50

Apple Juice, RM 6.80

This is a Fisherman's Pie. Costs RM 14.80. Inside there's fish, corn and potatoes. It's further described in the menu. The Shepherd's Pie looks the same so I didn't take a picture of it. Costs the same, RM 14.80

Hot Chocolate with Cream, RM 7.80

Lasagna Classico, RM16.80
Took a picture to show their Special Weekend Breakfast too for RM 9.80
