July 2013 - Sakura Cafe + Tokyo Skytree Town
It has always been a must have practice to plan my holiday’s itinerary in details and source out places to go. While planning for my 1st Tokyo trip, I read online about this tallest ice cream in Tokyo and I was soooo looking forward to try it out.

The Café provided warm towel and I just put it on my head LOL
Finally the arrival of IKI. It is so cool, standing at a height of 63.5 cm to symbolize
Tokyo’s skytree.
The portion is just
nice for 2 people. I like the top part of the dessert which is made of sugar.
There are melon, azuki red bean, rice balls, oranges, jelly, matcha ice cream and matcha agar at such an affordable price of 1800 yen, since Japanese desserts in Singapore Café / restaurants are much pricier.
Starts to dig in!!!
Next.....Off to Tokyo Skytree Town
After finishing the
yummy IKI, we went over to Toyko skytree. We didn't go up the Tokyo skytree since the entrance fee is 2000
yen for an adult (more expensive than my dessert) and I personally don’t fancy city landscape
view. Growing up in a city country – Singapore, city view is way too boring for
me.
As expected, here’s
the well known Tokyo banana shop, located at ground floor of Tokyo Skytree Town.
Friends of mine said that Tokyo banana is a must buy back goodie if one is to
travel to Japan. However, I find the price of such a small pastry is way too
overpriced for me (8 pieces for 1000yen) (www.tokyobanana.jp
). I don’t understand why people are obsessed with it. But if you do take a
look at how it is being packaged, it is kinda cute.
Promotion
Despite the promotion, it is still pricey to me but I love siew mai (meat dumplings) and Gyoza
