CAFE-ING AROUND

hello my sugar coated love:

Living in Tokyo, known as the land of themed cafes and cute cafes, one will be too ignorant not to visit any
So here goes my short journey to Tokyo's cafes

So, here goes..

GUCCI CAFE 
Lasagna, lunch menu
Fish


gucci cafe, Tokyo, Ginza

Okay, It might seem fancy to begin with, for its brand name and the quality of service in this cafe. However, it is a reasonable price for lunch! The fish was scrumptious! I didn't actually eat the lasagna, but according to my friend it was good. And all that for 3500yen. Which is around 35 USD. Not a bad price, for its brand. Well, everyone who ate there had some sot of gucci handbag, gucci scarf, gucci this, and gucci that. Well what I had was an empty stomach, and I was satisfied.
There is only two gucci cafes in the world apparently, one in New York and the other one is here in TOKYO. Woohooo.

Definitely worth a visit :)


Next tour for the day is..

HERMES CAFE
UH-OH amazing chocolate Gateau
Not exactly a good self portrait but, this was taken inside the tiny Hermes Cafe

This cafe is hidden on the second floor of Maison Hermes Ginza. In the tiny corner behind the walls where they hid the birkin and kelly bags, lies this gorgeous cafe.
They didn't have a vast selection of menu. Just some simple salad, toast, desert, and champagne.
So.. I went with desert instead
What i chose is a gateau chocolate with raspberry sauce. It was the thick and chocolatey kind of chocolate, and I instantly fell in love with the richness in taste.
I expect nothing less than Hermes.
Enough said.


Last trip for the day..

ALICE IN WONDERLAND CAFE


ENTRANCE

Party, anyone? ;)

Everything looks so cute and dreamy, as if you've stepped into a different world.
Again, for lunch, the prices aren't as bad..

The foods were actually below 1000 yen (equivalent to 10USD). The portion was just right as well. However, the food wasn't really what is special in this place. The decoration and the atmosphere is basically what we paid for.

On the other hand, the food wasn't that bad! It was pretty good. I like how chewy the spaghetti noodles were. tehee

Desserts! Top: Gelato, Bottom left: Chocolate Brownie, Bottom right: Heart CheeseCake


Shrimp Spagetti 
In the end of the day, it is still worth listed in #placesworthgoinginTokyo



My adventure for good food, and out of ordinary experiences will still continue.

Stay tuned ;)

Cheers,

Hello Sunshines!


Lets start the day with my favorite quote:

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect it simply means that you've decided to see beyond the imperfections."


So.. As I've been told, my passion for traveling (yes, that includes all the FOOD too) needed to be expressed somewhere. And since I'm on my holiday right now. LOL LIES! I am apparently one busy daigakusei (or what you call university student) in Japan with exam coming tomorrow. But, I just love procrastinating. 

I'm a Chinese Indonesian, currently studying in a Japanese University. Being in the town with the most michelin-star restaurants, and the centre of good food, my journey to explore the Japanese culinary begins! :)
Anyway, I couldn't wait to share the little things in life that give me joy and happiness.
Starting from...

Kempinski, Jakarta
And..
Dinner in Hakone

Yes.. You caught me red handed, I LOVE FOOD. And there are so many supercalifragislisticexpialidicious GOOD food out there. Not to mention, Japan.
It hurts to say that I have to say bye to all those fried juicy high calories food for these few months. And say hello to all the little healthy green friends called veggies. But all the hard work will eventually pay off when summer comes! hihi


This is basically going to be my journal where I'm going to blog about my happy passion, food, travels, fashion, yea.. thats basically it.

See you all lovelies,

muchos love
