After visiting the DAB Tokyo in Harajuku and having such awesome time (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/dominique-ansel-bakery-omotesando/), we decided to try their second location in Ginza. It is located inside Mitsukoshi department store, on the second basement floor. It had “fancy” written all over it, but yet, cheery with all bright and colorful. […]
How did I become a foodie? I think it has a lot to do with my eldest gourmet sister. She has always had, well, superior taste buds than others. I remember baking cakes with her when I was little, and it was delicious! Anything she whipped out in the kitchen came out awesome. And let […]
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 […]
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 […]
One experience I always try to have when I am in Japan is Kabuki Theater. My eldest sister took me there every time I visited Japan, and I really enjoyed the entire experience, from the theater, culture, ambiance, and of course, the food. It was also the time I got to spend a whole day […]

One of the most popular tourist spot in Japan is Asakusa, Tokyo. There are many interesting things to see, such as old architecture, new and modern buildings, shopping malls, and more than enough restaurants. One thing I feel about a major tourist spot is that many of the stores and restaurants become too much of […]
When you are in a middle of “concrete jungle” a.k.a. busy city with high risers and not much greenery, you start to crave the peaceful scenery with lots of trees and flowers, and just simply want to be surrounded by beautiful greens. Such place do exist in Tokyo as well, it might not be as […]
There are so many “Izakaya” in Japan, with all different kinds and offerings. There are the kinds that people go with lots of friends for a very fun (and a bit noisy) time, there are the ones where smoking is still permitted, and there are others with a bit more upper class, with dimmed lights […]
One thing you can count on when it comes to Harajuku is that you can always get a good crepe anywhere. There are so many crepe stores on the main street of Harajuku, the only issue will be how to decide which crepe stores are you going to get your crepe from..? Compare to when […]
