I just realized that I missed the first spot that my gourmet sister took us on the fun outing day in Tokyo! Since it was such an epic spot, I had to make sure to write about them. It is called Kajitsuen Libre, also known as Kajitsuen Fruit Parlor. My sister told us about how […]

Tofu Shokudo
On the day we spent with my gourmet sister in Tokyo, she took us to a really interesting place called Tofu Shokudo. We like tofu, as it is tasty, healthy, and has lots of benefits as well. Rich in high quality protein, vitamins, and dietary fiber. Tofu Shokudo is unique in a sense that they […]
Hayashiya Chaen
While we were in Japan at the beginning of 2023, my sister took us to Hayashiya Chaen in Meguro, Tokyo. They focus on Japanese tea, and also serves desserts made with their special teas. From reading about them, they want to serve the “real” tea to their customers, without dressing it up, just simple, pure, […]
Cacao Bar by MarieBelle
One of the most fun dining experiences out there, in my opinion, is afternoon tea. My mother loves afternoon tea, and so do my husband and I. When my mother and my niece came for a visit in late summer/early fall of 2022, I made sure to take them to a few afternoon tea spots. […]
BLACKBARN Restaurant
I have been interested in BLACKBARN for while, and when we walk by during peak hours, it was always looked full and busy. A good sign of good food. So, when my family was here during the late summer of 2022, I decided to take them there for lunch. We had successful lunch/brunch at spots […]
UNIQLO COFFEE
One of our favorite spots to get some clothes would definitely be UNIQLO. We have gone to so many UNIQLO shops everywhere. While we were visiting Japan, my sister told us about UNIQLO COFFEE at the newly renovated flagship store in Ginza. The coffee shop opened in 2021, and I heard their coffee and snacks […]
Blue Cafe
While we were in NJ, we found this very popular restaurant called Blue Cafe. Seems like we are finding places with “cafe” in their names in NJ lately…such as Cafe HESED, and Cafe Lala. Let’s see how Blue Cafe is like, shall we? The place was packed with a handful of people waiting outside. Luckily […]
Steak Frites Bistro
Since the pandemic, we haven’t really had the opportunity to take an advantage off of the Restaurant Week promotions. This winter, we finally got to try the Restaurant Week menu at Steak Frites Bistro. They offer bistro cuisine such as oysters, escargot, onion soup, and of course, steak frites. As soon as you step inside, […]
Cafe Lala
We found this lovely place called Cafe Lala in NJ when we were looking for a brunch spot in NJ. They opened not too long ago. They have some parking right in front of the cafe, and also behind the building from what I understand. It is a part of Lee Park Plaza, small outdoor […]
NUAGE ET VENT
After about 3 and a half years later, we finally were able to go back to Japan! It was a long time coming… And yes, we had some amazing meals in Japan! One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had was at a restaurant called NUAGE ET VENT, which means Cloud and Wind. The name […]
