Immersing in the CNY mood at Yokohama Chinatown

Yokohama Chinatown is believed to be the biggest Chinatown in Japan.
Chinese New Year in Yokohama Chinatown to be one of the most colorful, lively celebrations that you can find in Yokohama.
It was so happening during the first day of CNY!

Feeling so good that I could feel the CNY atmosphere in Japan although I'm away from my hometown.
I miss my family very much.
Looking forward to meeting them soon!

It is normal to wear in red at the first day of CNY.
I got this simple red dress from H&M at a very reasonable price.

CNY Breakfast Special

The drip coffee from Doutor was really nice!
And my favorite Baum Kuchen! Taste great too! Only cost 100yen from ROSEN.

Eating vegetarian on the first day (or at least in the day time) of CNY is my family custom!
So I prepared this for breakfast! And I had red bean soup for lunch! Yummy!
Hehe!

CNY Eve

Was busy preparing for CNY.
I'll be celebrating CNY without my family in Japan this year.

On New Year eve, I made an appointment to have a hair cut.

 photo PhotoGrid_1391056119188_zpsmzift4lh.jpg
As usual, cut it short. Hehe.

After having a nice haircut, decided to make a new pair of spectacles.
 photo DSC_3014_mr1391066953131_zps7kvjrfd4.jpg
So I went to JIN's and customized a pair of new spectacles.
After trying many pairs, I chose this two tone big frame as my new spectacles.
Hehe.
The frame was 3,990yen and additional 2,000yen for customizing the power and I also paid another 3,990yen to upgrade it to JIN's PC lens.
So ended up total of 9,980yen for my new pair of spectacles.
But I will only get my spectacles after 2 weeks since they don't have ready stock for my lens.

Then, I met up with Crystal for CNY Eve dinner.
We decided to have Chinese food for tonight.
So, I suggested to go to Gyoza no Ohsho for nice and reasonable Chinese food.
It tasted much better than those restaurant in Chinatown. LOL.

Since today is CNY eve, I just forget about Calories count and ordered this Fried rice set.
Comes with soup, salad, fried chicken and alos gyoza. Only costs 850yen for these! Yummy!

Dessert - Italian Gelato! Nice one.
Hers: Sesame and yogurt flavor
Mine: Rum & Raisin and Matcha flavor.
The gelato is made freshly from kitchen daily.
One cup for only 260yen!

Entered some campaign online and I got a free coupon for this.
So I redeemed it from lawson. Retail price is 140yen.
It's a vinegar drink where you drink before meal.
1 bottle is 140ml, 10kcal.
It contains 4100mg of Indigestible dextrin in one bottle, which equivalent to the amount of fiber in a lettuce.



And the CM is so funny! Hehe.
