Seeing the Historical Doumo

Posted on June 18, 2025June 19, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann is one of those people that really enjoy historical sites, so when the option to go inside the Doumo came up, he was excited and wanted to see it. As someone who’s not a huge fan of religion, I wasn’t as bothered about going inside, personally. It’s worth noting that you need to dress modestly to go inside the Doumo, which means your knees need to be covered and you cannot wear straps or low-necked items. As a warning, there are also a lot of scam sites out there that can try to trick you into purchasing tickets there, so make sure you are using the official site.

Lots of options for lunch at Slice Milano

Posted on June 17, 2025June 13, 2025 by Jupiter

When looking for somewhere to get lunch while in Milan, we wanted to get some pizza. Dann and I are hit and miss with pizzas, often not being impressed by the toppings they have as options in places we’ve previously been, so when we saw Slice Milano, we thought it looked a little different and fun. This is a pizza place that does pizza by the slice, where you can get a bunch of different slices instead of having to get a whole or half of a pizza. Their slices are quite large in size and feature a thicker crust, as they seem to be baking each individual slice that you order, to order.

Miaoka Cat Cafe – Small but cute cats

Posted on June 10, 2025June 7, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann and I both really like going to cat cafes. We have gone to quite a few, in a few different countries, so we always keep our eye out for little cats in windows. While walking back to our hotel from a tourist stop, we spotted a cat in a window, which turned out to be a cat cafe! Miaoka Cat Cafe was quiet when we went in, as we came in at a strange time for a Monday I think, and so we had the place to ourselves.

Takumi Ramen Kitchen – Ramen Delight

Posted on June 5, 2025May 30, 2025 by Jupiter

When meeting up with a few friends in Milan, our friend Husky said “do you want to try the best Ramen of your life?” and, curious, Dann and I headed there. Sadly, they were heading off to the airport, but we were excited to try out what could be the best ramen ever. When we arrived at Takumi Ramen Kitchen, the atmosphere was fantastic. The internal decorations were cute, the waitress was nice, and we were excited to take on some lovely food.

Eating Italian Food at Sophia Loren Restaurant

Posted on May 28, 2025June 9, 2025 by Jupiter

Is it smart to get Italian food right near the Doumo in Milan? Probably not. It’s most likely going to be more expensive than anywhere else, and it might not even taste that good. With that in mind, we did really want to have a more traditional lunch and didn’t want to spend a lot of time walking, so we went to Sophia Loren Restaurant. Sophia Loren is a film star, something I didn’t realize until we were seated and I read the menu, which has a bunch of text about how she wanted to open an Italian restaurant because she loves food. But, it’s really the taste of the food that matters.
