The next ramen comes from Sapporo, in the northern island of japan, Hokkaido. Hokkaido is already famous with their diary products, beautiful flower fields & seafood, especially their crabs.

Visit to Fukuoka, Hakata cannot be complete without at least a visit to the Ramen Stadium @ Canal City.
Featuring 8 selected Ramen shops all over Japan, showcasing their very best and striving to “alive” by your precious votes. Your votes will determine if the ramen shops will stay or be replace by another competitor. I did not managed to taste all but having tasted 5 out of 8 is already quite a feat for me.

Before I continue with Fukuoka, here is a quick post about my route planning for this Kyushu Trip. I hope it will helps clarifies on my travel route & perhaps help anyone who may be planning a trip to kyushu soon.

I was there for 16days I spent 1 week in Kumamoto and rest of the days were distributed among Aso, Beppu/Oita, Mojiko & Fukuoka. By the way, I took the highway bus from Fukuoka Airport to Kumamoto (about 2hrs journey) and pickup rented car at Kumamoto Airport after week 1.

So, when I did my planning in Singapore using ruler & pencil on a scaled map. It works out pretty fine, A -> B, 200~300km here & there, not much of a problem, about the distance to Malacca / Port Dickson which is a piece of cake to me kekekekeke …. Hence my original route plan was Kumamoto -> Kagoshima -> Miyashaki -> Beppu & finally Fukuoka. (You see it colored blue -> red -> yellow -> green -> purple on the map)

However, after I arrived to Kumamoto, I realise this route plan is crazy!!!! …………..

So after 2 nights of blissful rest at Mojiko, I’ve to move on to my final destination, Hakata @ Fukuoka Prefecture. Again, the on-car GPS system provides heaps of assistance in navigating to Fukuoka

I need a break SOON!!! kekekeke

Alright, this will be the last post on Mojiko. So another the dish you gotta try here is their Fugu Dinner Set. Essentially they comprises of various parts of Fugu, cooked in various ways. While the more famous restaurants were at Shimonoseki Port (Just across the Kanmon Straits either via undersea tunnel or the bridge), those at Mojiko looks to be more good value. Again, I have a hard time locating this restaurant but it’s well worth the experiences. The reason I choose this restaurant is because they seems to be the only one offering single diner Fugu Dinner Set, while other usually only serves set for 2 ~ 4 person. Anyway, let see how their set comprises of ….

Seems like I can’t squeeze Mojiko Food into a single post. Well, let make it 2 then. Aside for being a lovely retro town, the other reason that makes stay for another night in Mojiko was because of the food. Lovely, fresh seafood. Besides Fugu - the deadly puffer, Mojiko is also a good place fo buy Mentaiko (明太子).

What a heavy day at work today! By end of day, I already got 10 or more tasks needing further followup, and that’s excluding last week. And yeah! I haven’t finished kyushu as well hur hur hur …. ok 2 post for Mojiko, perhaps another 2 posts for Fukuoka hehehehe … frankly they deserves more than that, but I’ll try to squeeze in more interesting ones. Will see then!

So going from my hotel to downtown mojiko is really a few minutes drive. But it looks like I may have to fork out some expenses for parking ….
