Early in the morning, we went to the Hakodate Asaichi (函館朝市) or morning market.
We wanted to have some good donburi. We spotted this stall that had a long queue and decided to try it.
Unfortunately because of the bad weather, they didn't have uni for the don that we initially wanted to order, so the replaced it with salmon.
This was supposed to be the uni, crab, ikura and hotate don. Well unfortunately for me, this was serve on piping hot rice and I don't like when my sashimi don uses piping hot rice as it warms the sashimi too and cooks it slightly. Didn't enjoy the breakfast at all~
After that we walked to another restaurant section which seemed to have more promising cooked seafood. Will come to this area instead next time.
After that, we dropped by the Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse (金森赤レンガ倉庫).
There are many souvenirs shop inside.
Everything's a little cramped and there's a lot going on.
Had to take this pic with Lucky Pierrot when I saw it. Didn't get to try it on this trip as there were just too many other food that I wanted to try.
This side here has less people compared to the morning market. Not sure if it's because of the rain or if because it's quite a distance from the market.
After that, we started our journey back towards Chitose.
Along the way, we stopped by the same rest stop again for some ice cream before we continued our journey.
For dinner that night, we stopped by RAMAI (アジアンバー ラマイ千歳店) for some soup curry.

This place seemed pretty populat as there was a 30 min queue there even though we arrived at 5.30pm.
The shop has an interesting interior design that seems to be heavily influenced by Bali.
Even on the menu, the level of spiciness has Malay words.
I ordered the vegetable soup curry which was delicious.
You can request for additional toppings, like fried fish.
This soup curry is really good and it's such a hearty meal.
They also serve desserts here and we ordered a chocolate lava cake to share.
After searching online, I found that they have a franchises in various areas throughout Japan. I will definitely visit them again.
