*disclaimer: I can't retrieve the photos taken from my camera and can only find photos taken from our phone for the front part of the day! :(*
Today is the day we explore Harajuku! First stop was to omote-sando area. We were walking around the area when it started drizzling and we ended up in Honolulu Coffee for a quick breakfast and hide away from the rain. For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<. This store is now apparently closed though, but I believe they have other shops elsewhere!
Our drinks
Pancake for breakfast!
When the rain stopped, we walked over to Kiddyland. Sooo much cute stuffs over here; I wished I had money to buy them all! :/
Located here!
Then we went to try gyoza! It started to drizzle again while we were queuing to enter the store! For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<.
Refreshing cucumbers!
Oishii gyoza!
Time to shop and squeeze at Takeshita Street! Since we visited Harajuku on a Sunday, it was super duper crowded! Of course, we had to squeeze with everyone and take purikura!
Princess in harajuku? ;P
We entered quite a few shops but the items sold here were not that cheap. And we were feeling abit poor already... We were halfway through our trip after all! We did buy things from the daiso located at Harajuku though!
It's a rather big store! But it was also packed with people!
After much walking, shopping and squeezing, we decided to call it a day and wanted to rest our tired feet. We ended up eating a late lunch/early dinner at Maisen Tonkatsu! For detailed directions & review, read >>here<<. The store was rather empty when we arrived; we were eating at a rather odd timing after all. Even so, the restaurant can accommodate a rather large number of people inside.
Put some soyu in and the radish becomes surprisingly delicious!
Our big servings of tonkatsu! Yums! It was super good! Best tonkatsu ever! :P
Ended our filling meal with yuzu ice cream!
I had made a reservation prior to dine at Kawaii Monster cafe before having dinner at Maison initially. However, we ended up eating the tonkatsu earlier and it was super filling, we just ordered drinks and ice cream in this cafe. Read >>here<< for detailed review and more photos!
