The mentality is that if there is no need to wait, it is probably not that good. ^^;;; Actually what we did was, we had lunch at JJ(previous entry), and my friend dashed out at around 3pm before we had our desserts and made the booking at the cake shop(apparently you need queue a little bit just to write down your name in the wait list ^^;;), and at around 4:30pm we went to the cake shop and waited for about 20mins before we could go in. It was actually not THAT bad...if you have the whole afternoon for it... Actually Japanese love to queue.

With all thoes lines and 3 hours wait list 'pre-order', eating a cake became a 'mission' that'd take over a good part of the day (not to mention a stressful wait). The pastry looks heavenly though...I guess it's worth it...maybe? ^^;; Gosh so much trouble, they can do that because the obsession-nature in Japanese people are willing to go thru that for a taste of a cake. ^^;;; I’d think pastries represents the tradition lifestyle of a quiet, relax afternoon tea (and a luxury, not a necessity).
