I love pop-up cafe. When the fabulous Perk Cafe from the TV series “Friends” popped up back in 2014, I made sure to visit. We waited in a long line, and we got a nice cup of coffee for free. They had all the fun memorabilia and some of the actual studio sets used in […]

Going to a Summer Festival is fun, no matter what type or where it is. When we headed to Japan, we were lucky enough to arrive day before the Summer Festival! I don’t remember the last time I got to go a Summer Festival in Japan… So we were pretty excited to go and have […]
One of the most fun sweets of Summer in Japan to me is Kakigori. It is a Japanese shaved ice with sweet syrup. Since the Instagram has entered into culinary world, restaurants, cafes, and others alike have been coming up with some crazy looking food and dessert. But, it also helps people discover a food […]
This is my second review of this Shake Shack location. (You can read about my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/shake-shack-uws/) We went back to this location for a very specific reason: to get their limited time only shakes!

One of the spots we really wanted to visit while visiting Tokyo was Dominique Ansel Bakery. Why? They offer items that you can only get in Japan! Yes, I have a weak spot in my heart for those things that says “limited time only” or “offered only at…” items… I remember when this spot opened […]

We bought so many delicious gifts there for our family and friends, and of course, for ourselves! We visited Kakegawa Castle, and right by the castle was a little […]

I was a bit surprised that this place called “The Tea Bar” was actually Korean food restaurant, as I always thought they were another […]
