THE [HALAL] GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE AT KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

   24TH JULY 2024    ~ The first mission at Kansai International Airport was to find this [halal] UDON restaurant I visited back in 2017. Nevertheless, I just could not find it and I found the whole airport was something different from the last time I came.

So I had to hunt high and low for any halal shops in the airport as I was getting hungrier after arriving before the sun rose. I ended up asking the information desk and was told there was only one halal eating place there.

Firstly, I had to go to this lane with the sign TASTY STREET [which I found a bit funny] where there was the food court.

There was a row of stalls selling all kinds of food but there was this only one stall with HALAL FOOD RESTAURANT sign, which should be a big relief for me.

I had a bowl of rice and also a bowl of noodles. Actually I had ordered the wrong food combo. Instead of buying either one, I bought both. I had to choice but to enjoy the last meal in Japan before leaving.

The gastronomic adventure at the airport should wrap up my trip to Kobe, Japan, this time. One thing for sure, I am going to miss all the real Japanese [halal] food after this.

BIDDING FAREWELL TO JAPAN FROM KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

   24th JULY 2024    ~ As I arrived quite early at Kansai International Airport, I had some time to explore the place. However, I found the airport looked different in many ways, not like the way it was back in 2017 [READ HERE]. Or perhaps, I could remember well about the place.

I was actually looking for a halal food store and managed to find one in the food court area. [READ ABOUT IT HERE LATER]

Japan should be a smoker friendly country.

There were still many vending machines found in the airport. One thing worth mentioning, the prices of the bottled drinks were the same with the ones you bought from the vending machines in the streets. They did not raise the prices even though the machines were located in the airport and this was consideration at another level.

I left Japan as scheduled that morning hoping that I would make a comeback, perhaps to other cities, in the future.

Farewell Kobe, Farewell Japan.

BIDDING FAREWELL TO OSAKA AT KANSAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

21st MARCH 2017 ~ I had the chance to walk around the mall attached to the airport main building after my udon breakfast, and even managed to buy some souvenirs to take back home. My effort to wake up very early to get the airport really paid off after all.

Kansai Airport was actually built on reclaimed land on the ocean. If the weather was good that morning, I could probably get to see the view of the ocean from this spot.

This should be my very last post of my visit to Osaka and Kyoto last March. Just hope I would have the opportunity to go back there one more time to see and experience more.

Now I don't have anything more to write for my blog. I need to travel again desperately.
