Aaron & Xixi's Japan Trip 2014

Xixi and I booked a last-minute trip to Tokyo for our 2 year anniversary and my birthday, which turned out to be amazing. We got the chance to fly First Class & Suites, met up with fantastic friends who brought us to all sorts of wonderful places, and of course got in a ton of shopping and - most importantly - eating!

04. Yakitori @ Omoide Yokocho

Shin Kuishiya in Singapore is a decent alternative, though I still crave Omoide Yokocho every time I see yakitori - nothing has been able to compare with the taste and experience

Pre-arrival meal. We both booked the cook to ensure we got what we wanted. Xixi had the Kyo-kaiseki while I opted for the lamb chops, which were the best I've had since coming to Singapore. If only there was a restaurant that served 'chops like these!

Lights out! Our beds in the sky - perfect for a great rest on a redeye flight to recharge before hitting Tokyo at full speed with an 8 am arrival.

We got awesome Ferragamo amenity kits - also a new offering on SQ - which were great. There was a male and female version, but both of us wanted the male bag as it was much nicer. It also includes a rather large (50ml?) bottle of cologne / perfume which was very handy after an overnight flight.

Our next surprise - times two - came as we boarded the plane. First off, we got the brand new Boeing 777-300ER plane which features the latest First Class offering (only 3 in the entire SQ fleet). Secondly, we were the *only* passengers in First Class. 8 seats and 3 flight attendants, all to ourselves!

We started off in The Private Room - Singapore Airline's private lounge for First Class passengers only. It was so exclusive and luxurious, with great service and an awesome selection of free food. Oh and who can forget - CHAMPAGNE!!!
