Last month, I had been travelling to Japan due to business as well as for a personal trip. We went to Kyoto & Osaka and had a great time there. The scenery was majestic with sakura aka cherry blossoms blooming everywhere in Kyoto. And the food there ooh la la.... is simply delicious!
Almost everyday I ate ramen. The texture of ramen, the soup, the tofu, beancurd skin is so nice...so yummy. I never got bored eating the same thing again and again. Thanks to a good guidebook "大阪京都達人天書" I ended up indulging in lots of heavenly food and goodies. All the food that we tried following the guidance from the book was super nice and worthed every penny of it.
First fast food breakfast - Lotteria
Vegetarian meal at Kiyomizudera Temple - yummy with its simplicity
Gion District - This green tea ice cream is recommended in the book
There is a Kyoto Ramen Alley within Isetan at Kyoto Train Station where all the shops serve ramen in various regional styles, from Sapporo to Kumamoto. This place is highly recommended for the Ramen lovers. We had 2 meals here. Simply delicious!

The following are some of the food that we had for 9 days we spent in Kyoto & Osaka:
KyotoRamen at Gion District (Tea House - 茶屋)
It is not recommended in the book but that was the first ramen we tried in japan. I remembered how soft and yummy the egg was!
This is a '390' yen (about SGD 6) bento we loved so much. Comes in variety combination of different food and dishes. These are filling and yet yummy fast food bentos can be easily obtained in any of the Japan convenient stores!

Our first Chinese dim sum buffet also recommended in the book. The dishes are always changing and topped up fresh from the kitchen. Very nice with lots of varities to choose from.
Osaka
Foodcourt in Tempozan Market - These are mini 'Dons'. Even I can finish 2 bowls of these.
Golden Dragon Ramen - 金龙拉面 at Dotonburi. Too much 'cha siew' for me but otherwise a good choice recommended in the book.
Last meal in Osaka. Food court in one of Osaka's shopping mall. May be the moody mood (leaving Japan soon) caused this meal to taste so-so only.
Results
Very very satisfied to have discovered and tasted so many good food in Kyoto & Osaka. I will definitely go to Japan again!
