TSU*KI*JI

It may relocate in near the future.


This is world famous market, Tsukiji.


I thought market is no public are allowed to enter to the premise, but tsukiji market, they allowed public to enter to certain location inside the premise.







Had Sushi there, master was saying that after the earthquake, no. of visitors, especially foreigners are drastically dropped.
Heavily damaged to business.

I believe Japan can recover soon.

Let's do our part to corp with them =)

Shinagawa sweets paradise.

When I came to Tokyo in 2005, I thought I can't afford paying 300yen for a tiny doughnut.

I think I should, because this shop doesn't exist in my hometown.
Further more the flavour is [Valrhona dough + green tea graze].
(Just wonder if shop NYC sales this product...)


I prefer cake doughnut to yeast doughnut.



Love the bitterness and green tea flavour...


umm...I think must try...



This time round, happened to find
[Oef Pudding], I think I must try...Dunno my home town have or not...(lol)



These are in real egg shell.


I think choc and green tea are nicer than others =)

Hotel De Mikuni

We are always enlightened by nice dishes at restaurant Shimamura, now we are going to his master, Chef Mikuni's restaurant.

He is so that famous and I love his way of cuisine.
use local stuff and colourful yet well matched taste...Look joy, taste joy...





I can't believe myself that I am standing in front of Chef Mikuni's restaurant and going to dine there...This is one of my dream....



Dream came true...


The soup is always hearty, but sad to taste, main was very ordinary although used Tokyo local vegetables...is it because we choose 'Experience menu'???
We were quite upset....


Maybe next time we should order normal course instead...



I wish we can,...
