Last of Tokyo Photos

Sorry this post might take a while to load if you're at work.

I just wanted to post all these photos and move on.

Trying to catch up. Arghh!!!

Here is some yoghurt from downstairs that I had for breakfast.

I thought the bottle was very cute. I think the yoghurt was actually set in the bottle.

Toasted roast vegetable sandwich for breakfast.

Wish I had one now...Mmmmm Toasties in Winter are the best!

Pistachio cake. Sooooooooo good !!! Ommmggg. Makes Brunettis seems horrible in comparison. Haha!

Here is a photo of D taking a photo of me. We do this kind of thing. Haha.

Cool shop fit out in Shinjuku...

I really want it for my house.

Oh and I forgot to post about these Harajuku crepes last time I did my Harajuku post.

They are so yummy. A heart attack in a crepe!!!

Mmmmmm SO yummy!!

Crepe envy.

But then 2 mins later I get my own crepe! YAY

Taste test !!

Crepe Success!!

I got Strawberry cheesecake. SO gross but so yummy.

There is a Harajuku crepe style store in Melbourne Central if anyone wants to try one!

Here are some cakes we got from the cake shop downstairs at the hotel.

I have no idea what this was. I just got it because it looked weird.

Some sort of flour noodle cake that had some sort of booze in it.

It was weird.

Looks like raw spaghetti no?

This cake was SOOOOOO yummy!

I'm not usually all into desserts but the presentation of cakes in Japan sucks you in.

The cream and raspberries in this made it so nice.

MmMMmmmMMMm...

Ordering coffee in different countries is always interesting.

I think we have the best coffee in Melbourne.

I don't understand why other countries have horrible coffee.

Anyway,

D and I ordered " 2 soy lattes"

and this came....

I think thats enough to make about 8 cups of coffee.

Not too sure what the brown stuff is...????

I think the white was just warmed up soy milk.

It was weak.

We received this lovely chocolate bar thing.

I remembered it from the last time we went to Japan. It's very nice. The apricot bit is my favourite. I love apricot!

This is the window in our room !!!

I was so scared to do this ! I think I asked D a million times "So, are you sure the window wont fall out?"

But I did it ! My heart was beating so fast. I hate heights!!

I think we were on the 46th floor. Is that right D? I cant remember.

My face is all sorts of weird here. I think I was feeling v nervous about being so close to the window and just wanting D to hurry up and take the photo. Eeek!

I wish I had another photo that wasn't so wanky posey but I don't. You can all laugh at this one. Laugh at my expense. Just not too much. Hahaha

On the 43rd floor we had a pasta lunch before leaving Tokyo! I think the place is called Grindole. I could be wrong.

I had some sort of power smoothy. It cost about 6 times the amount of a bloody boost juice.

It was odd.

I'm not sure if it made me feel better.

They had them in the Paris Park Hyatt too but I never tried one.

I was feeling a bit tired and lethargic so I thought I would try the power smoothy.

I liked the presentation.

The bread stick was really good.

Yummy salad!

All the salads I had in Japan were sooo nice! Crispy and crunchy. The lettuce was never soggy or soft.

Thank you Japan for your fantastic lettuce. I enjoyed it.

Some random bronze fish downstairs at the entrance.

Hello Fish.

Good-bye Park Hyatt Tokyo

:( :( :( :(

I want to go back nowwwwwwwwwww :( :( :(

Arghh. That took FOREVER!!

I am going to go get a coffee to restore my energy levels.

Have a lovely day everyone!!!!

Rockpool

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy,

Please tilt your heads to the side because I don't like weird gaps on my blog when a vertical photo is posted.

ok GO!

Thank you. I hope you didn't strain a neck muscle. Here is a photo of when D and I went to the city to pick up something i ordered from Chanel. In the photo I'm pulling this weird kind of "hurry the eff up D cuz people are looking at me weirdly" face. He said I'm crap at taking photos and then tried to pretend to be me while I took a photo of him.

Clearly I don't hunch my shoulders over like a baffoon.

D is wearing this snazzy Marc Jacobs shirt he found at Aloha Rag in Hawaii. I love that shop. One of my favourites in the world. It matches a dress I have from Country Road. We should wear them together some day.

Anyway, none of my usual SAs were at Chanel so I gave up and left. We then met up with some friends in the city and wanted to go to Movida but it was closed. Balls. So we went to Mamasita. Which was also closed. Balls again. So we went to Rockpool.

I wasn't prepared.

I found this top worn below scrunched up on the back seat of my car and wore it.

It had some wrinkles in it but you cant tell in this poorly lit photo.

Ha! It is from S&B. Supriseeeeeed?!! So is the one above in the city. Please don't judge!

In this photo I drink a Grey Goose Martini. Don't order a Manhattan from Rockpool. They are awful. Stick to things on their menu.

I ate this vegetable cous cous thing which has a fruit on it. It could be a quince. If you look at the bed of cous cous you can see it. Does anyone know? I think it looks like a turd. hahahahaha

Here is what everyone else ate.

D had spaghetti and omg it was amazing! yum!

K and some sort of prawn and cheese tortolini thing and K v2.0 had a steak. Ew. I didn't want it on my blog but I know some of you guys out there like the meaty goods so its for you.

For side dishes we got onion rings, cheesy cauliflower gratin and not pictured, roasted sweet potatoes. Yum!

Now to the good stuff. Desserts.

Here is what K v2.0 got. A trifle. It was very delicious but very full on. The crystal bowl it was served it adds to flavour I believe.

I had this chocolate thing which resembles a boob with a nipple. Hahaha.

I am feeling v mature today.

It had this kind of crunchy thing as a base which was nice.

D ( and by D, I mean, I made him order it so I could eat two desserts without looking foul) ordered this strawberry number. It was a strawberry macaroon, filled with strawberry icecream with a strawberry salad. Full on.

D mentioned the icecream also looked like a turd. Haahahhahahahaaaa.

There was also a creme brule but they all look the same so no photo of that.

Writing this post I now realise how often we compare our food to gross things or private parts. This is interesting to know about ourselves. Hmmm. Time to reflect.

Does anyone have any tips for me to take photos in a dim light restaurant with no flash?

It's v hard. I hate flash in restaurants. Hmm.

Anyway, Rockpool was fun and I like it there. Neil Perry was even there that night too!

Weird huh? Because last time we went to Nobu, Nobu was there. But that is more weird because he doesn't live in Australia.

Anyway,

I am going to go and do some exercise now to work off my boob and poo desserts.

Toodle-oo !!

:)
