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!

Sesame Porridge

It's really nice for dessert

This meal concluded our three-day spring break trip down Southern Taiwan

Yummy Mini-Dumplings

Taho with Tapioca

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
