Return. While reading my previous blog post documenting my first visit to Furano Marche in 2012, I stumbled upon this statement: Will definitely spend some time in its sweets cafe and dining area, if I happen to visit Furano again. Little did I know that five years later, I would make my way to Furano Marche again (in fact, twice during my one month stay in Hokkaido) to complete this unfinished task! Glad to see that this one-stop shop for Furano's specialties is still operating and business was way brisker than before. In additon to that, Furano Marche has further expanded its businesses; with a new block named Furano Marche 2, located just adjacent to it (separated by a road). Furano Marche 2, which comprised of an event hall, shops (florist, lifestyle goods, etc), cafes and restaurants, was constructed a few years back.

Chanced upon a Halloween pumpkin lantern making session held in the event hall of Furano Marche 2.


Aroma. Visited Argent, the souvenir shop in Furano Marche. Familiarity set in as I explored the area to search for locally produced souvenirs to bring back home to. Just when I was about to step out of Furano Marche after completing my shopping, my nose was attracted to this delicious smelling aroma coming from this burger stall named Petit Petit Burger ぷちぷちチバーガー located in Furadish, the food court section of Furano Marche. Was lured towards towards it and could not resist the temptation. There is a good variety of burgers offered by this Furano Burger specialist and I decided on Furano classic burger (ふらのクラシックバーガー) after much contemplation. Like the fact that the patty was only put onto the grill upon order; took about 10 minutes before my queue number was called for food collection.

Glad to be back!

Winner. Appearance wise, the burger already looked pretty enticing to begin with. Fresh lettuce, handmade meat patty and meat sauce were stuffed between lightly toasted buns made from Hokkaido wheat. On the first bite, I was already captivated by the umami flavour of the burger. The patty was cooked to the right doneness, with meat juices retained sufficiently. Complemented by the tomato based meat sauce which was specially created through a collaboration with a local pasta restaurant, the taste of this burger was way beyond fast food standard; and this is definitely one food which I will relate Furano to.





What a pleasant find in Furano yet again!
