Hello Kitty Sweets resto in Taipei (Part IV)



Photography session:
The Hello Kitty jelly dessert, 'up close and personal.' Heehee...

Hello Kitty Sweets resto in Taipei (Part III)





What I had...
With the set meal came:
mushroom soup as an appetizer,
a tropical juice drink (on a Hello Kitty coaster),
the main course (tomato gratin),
and the dessert (extra-firm strawberry jelly)
(I meant it when I said extra-firm... I'll upload a video as proof in a few days.)

The cakes were pretty neat (not that I've tried all of them)... I meant they look neat.
The two cakes I did try were pretty good.
Although it feels pretty weird digging into Hello Kitty's face....

Hello Kitty Sweets resto in Taipei (Part I)







Here's a little something for all you Hello Kitty fanatics out there -- a Hello Kitty restaurant!
It's located in the upscale East district in Taipei.
The restaurant serves meals, drinks, and dessert -- primarily dessert.
The cakes cost about USD 3 and the meals start at about USD 10, quite steep a price for Taipei.
Oh, and they have a 10% service charge in addition to the price.

Sanwei Shokudo... again!

With prices this affordable and food this good, I can't help but come back for seconds (and thirds!) in this Taiwanese-style Japanese resto!

Miso soup all-you-can-drink for free!

Yum! Very appealing veggie salad


Yakisoba!

Jumbo-sized sashimi o-nigiris!

Aristocrat Chicken Barbeque


Aristocrat Chicken BBQ, a long-time favorite!

This is something I never fail to have whenever I go to Manila!

PS. James goes crazy for their sauce :P
