Cliff(y) Goes Travelling

Transit Area, Changi Airport Terminal 3, Singapore I know I haven't finished writing about the short trip to Tokyo, Japan, but for today, I shall write about the fun and memorable experience of dining onboard one of Singapore Airlines' grounded Airbus 380-800 aircraft. Running for two weekends only, at least at the point of writing, Restaurant A380 @ Changi is part of the Discover Your Singapore Airlines trilogy, which also comes with a few activities to keep guests occupied prior to the meal.

2-11-2 Nihonbashi, 5/F Takashimaya Shopping Centre, Chuo, Tokyo, Japan [Pokémon Center] Daily: 10.30am - 9.00pm [Pokémon Café] Daily: 10.30am - 10.00pm First opened to the public in March 2018, Pokémon Center Tokyo DX is the largest shop selling Pokémon-related merchandise not only in Japan, but also across the globe at the point of writing. Measuring about 1,300 square metres, it also also features the world's first permanent Pokémon-themed café.

10 Huis Ten Bosch-cho, Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan Sun-Thu: 9.00am - 9.00pm Fri-Sat: 9.00am - 10.00pm Shiba inu is a Japanese hunting dog breed that's well-loved by many. Look no further than Mameshiba Café should you wish to pet and play with those adorable smaller-sized dogs. One session at the café lasts 30 minutes, and if you're lucky, you can get another 30 minutes for free should there be no other guests coming in.

Liisankatu 21, Helsinki, Finland Daily: 10.00am - 6.00pm The Moomins are a family of hippopotamus-like creatures designed by a Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator named Tove Jansson. Originally appearing in a series of comic strips and books, they've been made into TV series and films as well. As a fan, I made it a point to drop by one of the cafés in Helsinki.

799 New Upper Changi Road, #03-35/37 Bedok Point, Singapore Daily: 10.00am - 10.00pm Little did I know that I'd be using the 'Theme Eatery' label again very soon after the post on Rilakkuma Café . I suppose the owner of this eatery either loves pandas so much or was inspired by Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in China, which is home to the famous Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

3 Zhongxiao East Road Section 4 Lane 243, Taipei, Taiwan Mon-Fri: 11.30am - 9.00pm Sat-Sun: 11.30am - 9.30pm You may probably wonder, "What's an eatery post doing here since you have a separate food blog?" I've just come up with a new self-explanatory label called 'Theme Eatery' as I feel the need to publish all the following cute photos (myself excluded) for Rilakkuma fans out there.
