ラフランスタルト。
Pear tart. This dessert place is one station away from the bagel shop “Pomme de Terre”. I have walked that distance before and it felt really near, estimated 15~20 minutes at the most, so I dragged my friend there after the bagel lunch….but it felt soooooo far this time! When we sat down in the dessert place, we realised we had walked for 45 minutes…..The cakes were not bad but probably not worth the effort….oops….hoho….^^;;

Back to this super delicious bagel place with a friend(see tag for old entry). We went there about 20 minutes before the shop opened at 12, the queue was shorter than last time, but unfortunately the people before us(about 10 people) were all going to eat-in and we couldn’t fit into the first round! Waiting for the second round would mean having to wait for at least an hour, and the shop staff refused to let us put down our names and perhaps wait in a coffee shop nearby or something….we hesitated but it was a long way there and stupid us, we didn’t prepare a Plan B….so we ended up waiting outside the shop, standing and starving and hot, staring at other people’s food through the window for an hour. ^^;; Potato soup came with the lunch set. I had the potato and chicken and zucchini gratin, which was alright. The salad however was very delicious. And of course the freshly baked spinach bagel, the thing we came for, hot from the oven, was very very good. Bought loads to take away too - black sugar and soybean flour, coffee and raisin, caramel and chocolate, taro, lemon apple, cheese pepper, and fig. But I think this will be my last time coming here…just too much effort. ^^;;
Pomme de terre
エッグズ・ベネディクト（サーモンと野菜グリル）、１４００円。Finally found a place that does egg benedict and someone willing to go with me! I was going to order 3 eggs, but the waitress said that would be too much, so I just got salmon and grilled vegetables and gave up spinach, but it turned out to be not that big afterall. Taste-wise….also pretty normal? The muffins, the eggs and the grilled vegetables were probably pre-made? Not that fresh, not that hot. Salad was not included and only grilled potatoes, a bit bland to finish. Hmm.
Good Honest Grub
焼き茄子と香味野菜の黒酢醤油うどん、８９９円。Udon with grilled aubergine and herb in black vinegar soy sauce. The aubergine was quite burnt and tasted bitter, but the udon and the herb were quite good.
特製つけめん、９００円。The original ramen shop is in Nakano and I have tried there before and it was unforgettably good. Unfortunately this branch in Ikebukuro has entirely different taste and frankly quite bad. Always long queue though.
