アンブル・ドゥ・レーヌ、730円。
Condensed milk on top of very bitter coffee, a bit too sweet but nice. Not much difference from Vietnamese coffee I thought...

Cheese cake and blend coffee. The cheese cake has sour cream in it and is really quite sour. The blend coffee is nice...I watched the girl barista make it for me and I thought: hey I'm doing similar things at home with a coffee filter. ^^;; The blend doesn't taste that unique either yet it costs 735yen...gosh. There are cheaper places with better quality beans but then, the atmosphere here is very classic and sophisticated, and the porcelain cups they use are very elegant...

Even if there was any changes in Inoka I would never notice...cos when we get together we are always back to where we started...mentality-wise...

Hahaha, is Inoka still the same old inoka?

I'm same with RP, haven't learn to appreciate sour cheese cake too.

HAHA yeah bring Inoka there!! ^^;;

RP dunno if you know it already, there is a Taiwanese charcoal coffee house nearby where you live, my parents always buy coffee there. It's in a plaza...hmm...gosh I can't remember the street name anymore, it's where IHOP is with a salon, a bookstore (christian book?) I think???

Hey RP, yeah they have other desserts, but I read about this place in a magazine and the cheese cake was recommended. If I ordered something else and it turned out bad, I would feel stupid...^^;;
Yeah this place is sooooooo dark with only a spotlight above each table - perfect place to look at stuff you shouldn't display in public - should bring Inoka next time. ^^;;

I've never learnt to appreciate sour cheese cakes... do they have other desserts? The place seems nice for dates or when you want to chat with a close friend though.

So crowded though even though it is so expensive. I guess everyone comes for the atmosphere~

Oh the place is so dark, chic and sophisticated, just like the bitter charcoal coffee. But the price, ouch! For one cup of not-too-special coffee. Yeah condensed milk + bitter coffee would make it basically...Vietnamese coffee.
