Anchovy croissant. Rusk that goes with the soup.

名前は適当に。カキの野菜スープ。鶏のロースト、アサリとキャベツ。
Oyster vegetable soup. Not as good as it looks. Roasted chicken with clams and cabbage. Not bad but very very SALTY!!! Had to keep eating bread and drinking water, would have been better if I had ordered wine though. The clams had too much sand….

060405 017.jpgStrawberry tart is super yummy~! My favourite part of the course. We chose the cheapest lunch course, including soup, main dish, dessert, fruits and chocolate and coffee, and it was about 4000yen. Even though we didn’t have appetizers, we were really stuffed at the end cos the portion was so huge. Wouldn’t mind going back and ordering from the a la carte menu which is more appealing…if I ever crave super salty food.

昆布風味、鶏チャーシュー丼、1260円。桜寒天と黒糖プリンの抹茶パフェ、1260円。Chicken rice bowl. Sakura kanten and black sugar pudding macha parfait. Both taste so-so. The parfait glass is too heavy at the top and too thin at the bottom that it threatens to topple any minute(bad design), and I really don’t like the pudding and the cereal in the parfait….

060404 070.jpgChicken in tomato sauce and spaghetti with garlic. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the menu, the lunch set was 2520yen, and that was the cheapest lunch set available. Some super basic and boring menu like spaghetti with meat-sauce cost 1500yen, no salad no drink included…Anyway, the chicken is quite good but the pasta is bad, just can’t help thinking why this place is so ridiculously priced.

High protein, low fat and low carbo deli restaurant produced by a gym(in the pic). The deli plate is 1000yen which you can choose from a selection of deli food, or you can have a bit of everything which is what I did, turned out to be a big plate. Taste-wise…well…I guess taste is not the point. ^^;; I was just curious…never stepped into the gym(oh god no…).

桜えびと小松菜のアーリオ・オーリオ。
Lunch salad+drink bar is quite good, lots of choices. Pasta is sakura prawn and veggy, garlic oil, hmm, should have ordered pizza instead…

The lunch set was 1200yen which included a small dessert but the blackboard with the dessert menu was hung right in front of me and I couldn’t resist ordering the strawberry millefeuille(^^;;)….hmm, if I knew the qualilty I would have resisted.
