Just wanted to share the cutest packaging ever which I found on this pudding dessert from Quatre bakery. The pudding is actually inside of a real egg shell and when you purchase the dessert to go, it comes in this most adorable egg carton. I was amazed how they were able to slice off the top of the egg shell so smoothly. I’ve always thought Japanese places have some of the most creative and best best packaging but this was just so cute, I had to share :) The pudding itself was just ok though… I’m glad I happened to have an individual egg holder at home or it would have been very difficult to plate them!

PS: This dessert is pronounced “ufu pudding” (うふぷりん)
PPS: Merry Christmas!!

Chum Apartments is a hidden cafe in the middle of a residential area in Meguro. Apparently they are often closed during the day time due to photo/magazine shoots or other special events because of their really cute ambiance. I would say it’s a mixture of Asian, Morrocan and modern decor. It’s an interesting cafe as you can come here for a variety of different occasions. Most come here for lunch, tea time, or dinner. However, there’s also a sushi bar, a shop on the 2nd floor, and you can even get married here! (it’s open for events).

My friend and I came here for tea and it was relaxing, chill, and spacious. It’s the kind of cafe where you can stay at for hours without being bothered. We both had the chai latte that came with honey for 700yen. It was yummy. We didn’t eat any food this time but what we saw looked pretty good. Here’s a link to their online menu if you’re interested.

Loved the ambiance & decor. There were a wide range of customers from individuals just reading a book, girlfriends chit chatting, to strollers with moms and couples enjoying their afternoon together. The only thing I didn’t like is that they allow smoking inside. Regardless, check it out if you are nearby!

Brown Rice Cafe

Here are some places I recently went back to and ate at again!

Above photos are from Brown Rice Cafe in Omotesando. The set I got this time has always been sold out by the time I visit but I finally got to try it. It’s made from all vegetables/tofu and the set is 2100yen including a small dessert and organic tea or coffee. I wish this meal was served warm as it’s getting cold these days.

Ippudo Ramen

Ippudo is having a special collaboration tomato-based ramen that was presented at the Tokyo Ramen Show. You can add toppings like bacon and cheese as well. This is going on for a limited time until 12/31 and it’s worth a try!

GONTRAN CHERRIER TOKYO recently opened (at the end of August) in one of the most convenient locations just one minute from Shibuya station and it’s one of my favorite bakery cafe/restaurants that I’ve been to recently. I loved everything about it – from the style of pastries they served, to the cute french ambiance of the store. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried so far from this place and the ease of access is just unbeatable! The bakery also has seating on the 1F so you can eat your pastry’s/baked goods there as well.

PS: I also dined at the second floor cafe/restaurant so I will post about that next.

On the 4th floor of Soramachi is where “Tomorakuno 63℃” is located. As you can see, it’s a place that serves a yummy strong milk-flavored soft serve. Depending on when you go, you might get lucky and not have to stand in a long line but the line goes by fairly fast regardless (plus it’s worth the wait!). We got the waffle cone for 30yen more and enjoyed the original milk flavor as well as the strawberry milk flavor.
