GUCCI Cafe in Ginza, Tokyo

seeing the decreasing rates of blog post year by year...

I feel so bad to myself...

so many pending posts in my back log...

after my Taiwan posts, I no longer blog about my holidays no more...

I'm Sorry...  :(

and I feel it's a big waste if I just neglect my Japan trip like this...

thus, I will update bit by bit today onwards... *try*

my Tokyo trip was last November (2012)...

it was a very packed but fruitful trip.. I gonna split into many posts...

this is about Ginza... 

one of the unforgettable day... hehe

Ginza (銀座) is Tokyo's most famous upmarket shopping, dining and entertainment district, featuring numerous department stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, night clubs and cafes.

after brunch at super yummi Tsijiki Fish Market (which I gonna blog in another post), we go to Ginza by foot...

it's not far at all, 15-20 mins walking time only...

3 mission to go Ginza

1) have a great tea session at Gucci Cafe, only available in Tokyo

2) shopping in Gu - sub-brand of Uniqlo, only available in Japan

3) visit Abercrombie~ woo hoo ~~~ I would say their 'qualities' are best in wOrld !!!   hehe

it was a multi-storey Gucci Building...

the cafe is located at 4th floor...

entered Gucci Store, they will lead you to Gucci Lift back then after letting them know that you're heading to the cafe...

it's not a very big place, but cozy and elegant...

big numbers of us separated into two 'biggest' tables...

everything is gucci... 

even the leather menu...

there are 2 sets available daily which I think it's quite worth...

because the desserts and foods are REALLY good !

with first class services !

set 1 - High Tea Set 

any desserts with any drinks, 2,000 yen (which is around RM 60)

set 2 - Set Lunch 

any drinks, choose one main course (seafood pasta / risotto / and I can't remember d), any dessert

3,000 yen (which is around RM 90)

we all had high tea set, due to we just had super satisfied lunch at Tsujiki Fish Market...

Watermelon Juice 

Gucci Cafe served Good Coffee...

good aroma, smooth froth and steamed milk...

Caffe Cappuccino and Caffe Latte

stupid me, ordered Black Coffee

this is the BEST Tiramisu I ever had in my life YET, so far...

no drama... 

I don't eat every type of cake, very choosy..

and Tiramisu never my thing BUT I finished this whole piece by myself and couldn't get enough of it !

so so so nice....

10 times nicer than Bella Italia's !

Pannacotta, very nice too !! 

and the serving so beautiful and efforts...

Caffe Machiatto, served with a piece of Gucci Chocolate !!

by selling, the chocolate is around rm 10 per piece...

vain ppl must self-shot in Gucci Restroom...

we had a wonderful time at Gucci, and continue our second and third mission at Ginza...

after some crazee time at GU...

walked down further, we saw this handsome, macho guy standing outside a building and we knew we have reached ABERCROMBIE Tokyo !!!!

omg !!!!! 

I fell for him instantly !  *shy*

they give away free Polaroid picture with Abercrombie paper frame to customer...

love his 6-8 packs ! oh my~

all of us full of excitement and very satisfied with our Ginza half day tour !!!

La Vanille Pastry . Cupcakes & Macarons

this is a post from last December...

La Vanille Cupcakes & Macaroons, situated at Hutton Lane...

the cafe is quite nice...

I personally quite like the deco and ambiance...

but quality of foods and beverages are only so so for my liking...

no doubt, their cup cakes all look so cute and beautiful...

I did not have the chance to try on... not even the Macaroon...

might pay another visit for that before I comment further...

Iced Lipton Tea Bag Green Tea

Iced Coffee

the Cheese Cake is bit dry and hard...

will it because it was the last piece? so it's not moist and fresh?

to be franked, I do feel little disappointed on the cakes...

Special of the day - Honey Roasted Chicken, served with chips & wedges, grilled capsicum on side...

Light House Coffee

Light House Coffee,

It was a cafe I spotted since 1 year+ backed...

been in the want-try-list, as usual no time to make it...

till these few months, it getting more and more 'popular' 

and one Sunday afternoon, my buddy cio me go for good Coffee ! 

finally !!! 

the business is good, non-stop customers coming in...

tables always full, since the place ain't really big...

whole cafe filled with beautiful coffee aroma...

great smell that I would die for...

brewed coffee beans from Brazil...

Buddy had Iced Caramel Coffee while I'm having Cafe Affogato...

Cafe Affogato

A shot of espresso topped with scoop of Vanilla ice cream...

when the ice cream melted, it will sweeten the bitter strong coffee... and hot drink becomes cold drinks instantly... 

Ice cream lover + coffee addict like me = Affogato always a good choice.. 

hehehe...

of cuz I tasted few sip of espresso first before I stir around the ice cream...

Brazil coffee is way bitter than others coffee for me...

I let buddy tried a sip, he said it caused him insomnia till 4am that night... I wonder.... 

Big Breaky... serving all day... 

nothing special... just a normal American Style Big Breaky...

It's some kind of Chocolate Cake but I couldn't recall what's name...

the taste is okay, won't be too sweet...

but a bit too dry for my liking...

would it caused by putting in the fridge for too long thus no longer moist or it just meant to be ?

overall, is okay... (I'm choosy on cakes)

this Japanese baby is so cute...

sitting at the table next to me...

she (I supposed) is so adorable and friendly...

keeps smiling and waiving to everyone in the cafe...

I think I did 'give 5' or 'shake hand' with her...

so wanted to carry her home... hehehe....
