Moving On To Naha City

Today, we will be heading to Naha and which means our holiday in Okinawa is coming to end very soon. We enjoyed Ona thoroughly and we are sure we’ll be back! 
It was a 2 hours ride from Ona to Naha City and we stopped by at the Premium Outlet before heading to Naha City since it was on the way. When we arrived at the Ashibinaa Premium Outlet, we started our shopping spree as there were so many of our favourite shops. I simply went mad when I entered GAP and Adidas. 
We took our lunch on the 2nd floor and we were happy that kiddos enjoyed the food very much. We ordered pasta while Lady Faith preferred pancakes instead and she finished up the whole plate on her own. 
When we arrived at Naha City, we quickly headed out to the street after checking in to our hotel. I got to say that our hotel is just right in the heart of Naha City. The street where they housed most of the shops and eateries. We took a slow walk and found out that the famous Makishi Market is just a street away.
The Makishi Market is pretty big and we decided to take a slow walk to check out part of it and yes, it was really interesting to see many different types of Okinawa local sweets and those super fresh fruits.  While we were keeping a lookout for our dinner venue, we chanced upon this ice-cream shop which has a long queue and decided to try it out. Managed to get a seat and man…. the ice-cream was really awesome! It was so creamy and so many flavours to choose from. I would love to try out every flavours but given the time and space of my stomach… I guess I would have to return to Okinawa soon.
As for our dinner, we decided to have teppanyaki instead of the usual Okinawa cuisine. This is somehow like the fusion teppanyaki where they served their meals with potato, salad and soup. The waiting time for this restaurant was about 15 minutes and the staff were really nice. Food wise, pretty good but you definitely smelt like one of the chefs after you leave the restaurant… hahahaahahahah…
I simply did not like what I smelt and we headed for a stroll after dinner instead. Managed to get some more souvenirs but the main reason for strolling is to get rid of the smell on us!
