OVERALL SUMMARY

No crazy food gimmicks. Simple and delicious!

A popular Kinfolkesque brunch joint without the upscale price tag. Sunday Brunch’s Shimokitazawa location proudly shows off its good quality ingredients and variety-on-a-plate concept. Could this be the best value for money brunch you have ever eaten in Tokyo?

SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE

mixture of quiet afternoons, Scandinavian simple finishes, and slow living element vibes Sunday Brunch’s Shimokitazawa cafe offers a stylish and cozy dining experience in the “zakka” aesthetic. With the space’s high ceiling and skylight openings in hipster-loving triangle cutouts, one can enjoy the atmosphere of a relaxed Sunday morning every day of the week.

It’s spacious and well fitted with many seating options suitable for big groups to

single-window dining and comes with fun features like the self-serve fruit infused water station, sweets corner, and even a lifestyle home goods store.

Since it is one of the more popular eating spots in the area, the best time to visit is to avoid the busy weekend lunch rush which peaks around 12PM – 1PM and opt for either an early-late lunch or early tea time to ensure you can enjoy it at your own pace with a good book or some work-time on your laptop.

Food

he first thing you will notice when glancing through Sunday Brunch’s menu is how gorgeous the food looks. Everything here from the plates of pasta to the generous cake slices is just as pretty as the pictures – well-balanced plates with lots of colour and variety.

The main dishes are simple brunch ideas of mixed plate combinations such as doria (a baked rice dish) with pasta, french toast with a side dish as well as curry butter chicken and they are all filling and satisfying. Vegetable produce seems to be the highlight of each dish as they generously decorate every dish with seasonal vegetables to liven up the dish’s presentation for that “wow” effect.

The first dish was a classic Japanese dish found in many cafes here: the omurice plate with a twist. Unlike the common brown demi-glaze sauce you see on most menus, this one was served with a generous helping of herb cream sauce adding a nice mild creaminess to the tomato rice mixture hidden beneath the egg. The egg omelette was nicely set with that gooey but not overly runny texture should you be the kind of person who doesn’t enjoy that texture feeling. Overall, it was a delight to eat if you feel like indulging especially on a chilly day.

Next was the double carb pasta and doria set: a creamy chicken vegetable cheese rice bake with a simple cured ham herb pasta. It was a combination hard to fault

because of its simplicity as all the flavours go well together. Best of all, the accompanying pasta rotates seasonally for more flavour combinations though the doria generally stays the same.

Moving on to dessert, although their stacked pancakes are a show stopper on their own, for a person who had only a little stomach room to spare their window cake selection was hard to beat with delicately decorated treats layered with fresh fruit and cream.

Before the season ends, we decided on the Mont Blanc with Seasonal Fruits Cake which had a nice height of light and airy cream and chestnut puree with a centre of fresh cream and some fruit pieces running through it.

To level up your already Instagram-worthy snack time, I highly recommend to skip the drink set menu and order their Uji Matcha Milk Tea for its decent size and good tea flavour. Using Uji’s famous matcha, the drink was nice without the addition of sugar to savour the slight bitterness of the tea powder’s taste. The cotton candy coloured rice puffs on the top was purely for decoration and fun but was a unique presentation that feels like you’re enjoying some sweets from a traditional Japanese sweets store.

Rice Plate – prawn omurice with a herb cream sauce and garden salad | 1380 yen

Doria and Pasta Plate – a creamy cheese rice bake with a simple cured ham herb pasta and garden salad | 1280 yen

Mont Blanc with Seasonal Fruits Cake | 680 yen

Uji Matcha Milk Tea | 650 yen

SERVICE

or all the times I visited Sunday Brunch, they all seem to fall on a weekday and the service is always very polite with a little local friendliness lent from the area. The staff is very responsive and the food arrives in a very orderly fashion.

The menu is bilingual with Japanese and English descriptions so ordering is a breeze and also some staff can speak a little basic English. The staff will also ask you about any food allergies during ordering which is a nice touch.

VALUE FOR MONEY

ith the cheapest dish being 1150 yen that also includes a salad and the cheapest dessert being around 500 yen, the price is quite average for the area. The best value definitely comes from ordering in sets.

The brunch set meal which includes a mini salad, pasta of the day, cake dessert, and a drink at 1650 yen is a cheaper choice if you want to experience everything there is to offer and expect to pay for a cake and drink set 1050 yen.

Greatly Terrific Food Outing: Spanish Sakaba, Willoughby

OVERALL SUMMARY

When you can’t decide between Spanish or Japanese

When you can’t decide between eating Spanish or Japanese food, have both at Spanish Sakaba! Treat yourself to Sushi-rice Paella, Angus Beef Katsu or Frozen Sake Sangria – just to sample a few dishes off the menu. But if you thought this was a fusion Spanish and Japanese restaurant, you’d be wrong. Rather, it’s a blend of two food cultures chef Yamanishi believe are very similar in style; “sakaba-style” (a more family version of Izakaya) and Spanish tapas. While some dishes are fusion-inspired, most dishes are traditionally Spanish or Sakaba dishes.

Setting And Atmosphere

Cool and eclectic, Spanish Sakaba’s style is reminiscent of an Izakaya restaurant with a family dining structure. The walls are adorned 1950s-esque Japanese retro signage similar to that of Mappen and Oiden located in Sydney city. This, combined with neon signs and the bar on full display, give typical Izakaya ‘night time drinking’ vibes, amongst a fully lit restaurant set up with tables big enough to accomodate families. In fact, I especially love that you can almost always find a Japanese family dining here – it just make things more authentic to me (haha).

Funny Japanese gags were scattered throughout the restaurant (most of which went over my head) like the yellow suited guy featured on the “Order at the counter” sign. While I didn’t understand them, I appreciated these little slices of personality.

Turns out, this is comedian Dandy Sakano. For a Japanese pop culture lesson click here.

Food

When I first heard about Spanish Sakaba serving Japanese and Spanish dishes in its menu I was instantly intrigued – what a unique combo! Expecting a fusion restaurant, I was surprised to see the menu, particularly at dinner, comprised of mainly Spanish and Japanese dishes with only a few fusion dishes. The reason? This restaurant is about the fusion of two eating styles (sakaba and tapas) not necessarily the fusion of cuisines. So while tables spreads may comprise of fushion dishes like Sushi rice paella, Angus beef katsu and frozen sake-sangria, tables are more likely to adorn a plate of chorizo, separately to a plate of sashmi, yakitori skewers, zucchini flowers, traditional Sangria and so on. See the difference?

For our table spread, we ordered two of the daily lunch specials; the first being the Bowlillabaisse. Spelt strangely, I’m assuming this name was a pun on the word “Godzilla” because it was a big bowl of ramen (gotta love when your dishes are served with a side of humour!). Plated up with fresh king prawns, mussels, wontons and ramen noodles – all cooked perfectly, the broth was the hero of this dish with its strong, aromatic, seafood flavours that heavily reminded me of those beautiful Spanish broths. To accompany the ramen, you had the choice to combine it with Chilli, Aoili or Lemon. We decided that all worked well and combined everything together. Mmmm delish!

The second was the spicy king fish poke bowl. Featuring simple and traditional flavours, the dish was pleasant, however didn’t stand out amongst the poke bowl competition in Sydney at the moment.

On the side we enjoyed Sakaba’s shoestring fries topped with kewpie mayo, otafuku sauce, aonori (dried green seaweed, and shichimi pepper. Yummm, I can imagine this would be an amazing late night snack with alcohol.

We washed it all down with a cheeky mid-day frozen sake-sangria and mocktail.

Service

Service here was cute and friendly. The waitress was obviously new, but very keen to try to recommend dishes and find out anything she didn’t know.

Value for money

I think the pricing here is acceptable. Dishes are smaller than expected, but good quality.

Greatly Terrific Food Outing: Waffle cafe ORANGE

January 30, 2018 Siree 9 Comments

THE VERDICT

Setting & Atmosphere
Food
Service
Value For Money

OVERALL SUMMARY

Good for a light meal but underwhelming for waffle lovers.

An off the beaten track waffle house cafe where you can celebrate and feast on waffles with not only a variety of toppings but waffle flavours as well? Hello! From savoury to sweet we all know waffles are the all day champion that can be not so breakfast and also not so dessert, but can this menu satisfy your all-day breakfast hunger needs? Playing Russian Roulette with sweet and salty, we find out what Orange Waffle Cafe is all about!

SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE

eing situated in the unique neighbourhood of Shimokitazawa known for its alternative vibe and interesting approach to shop fronts, Orange Waffle Cafe is a very cute homestyle cafe with two outdoor porches to sit and dine – a unique feature and a little rare to see in urban Tokyo.

The wooden elements mixed with modern mosaic tiles and worn out concrete flooring makes it a cosy and relaxing spot to sit down after shopping. Although the interior is quite simple, it’s the attention to detail in the small decor choices and

serving plates that make it cosy and welcoming in that kitsch zakka way.

The busy time trends to be after 1PM with the crowds still hanging around until 4PM for tea which changes the tempo of the cafe from being one moment quiet to the next lively. Nevertheless, if you are in a group with less than four people, you can definitely find a spot to sit during the busy times and not feel like you’ll have to leave soon to make room for the next awaiting party to eat, giving you more time to admire the street view at your own pace.

Food

s you might have guessed, the king of their dishes is the humble waffle. I was surprised that their menu not only offers a variety of toppings but a variety of waffle flavours as well. I enjoyed looking at the variety of their waffle bases from red velvet, cheddar cheese, chia seeds and more. Unfortunately, there was no option to switch a flavour from a plain to a flavoured waffle should you want to upgrade your meal to something more special and unique.

Tasting both savoury and sweet dishes, the waffles are always light with a crispy outside. If you are familiar with the Belgian waffle’s dense cake quality, the waffles at Orange Waffle Cafe are disappointingly not that kind. Though one could argue that a cake-ish texture and taste could affect the flavour of the savoury food, I argue that it would actually help the taste factor of the dishes as the waffle batter did not taste like anything but a generic bland “carb” taste.

Let’s start with the savoury dish: the slightly misleading “Vegetable” waffle. Topped with a sunny fried egg and bacon slices drizzled with herb cream cheese sauce, the “vegetable” in the title refers to the waffle’s flavour being made of spinach and corn and not for being vegetarian friendly.

Unfortunately, tasting the “spinach” or “corn” in these waffles was non-exist and though the spinach waffle was coloured green when cut with a knife, there was no distinct taste or food texture of the base ingredient even in the corn version. The egg and bacon was tasty with the waffle combination, though it felt a bit strange to eat my carottes râpées and salad with my maple syrup covered mixed herb sauce savoury waffle.

My thoughts were that this dish was supposed to be a twist on Eggs Benedict but it kind of missed the mark by doing too much.

For dessert, the “Cinnamon Sugar and Butter” waffle caught my eye but I decided to level up with a side order of vanilla ice cream because, why not right? Sometimes the simple things in life are the best and the thought of cinnamon sugar toast but in waffle form was an enticing idea. Yet, as with the “Vegetable,” the title of this one is also a bit misleading for people who are use to western food culture.

Let’s start off with the cinnamon sugar, a mixture traditionally made of ground cinnamon and granulated sugar sprinkled on dessert for that sweet kick with a bit of crunch as it caramelises from the heat of your warm carb of choice toasted together. At Orange Waffle Cafe, “cinnamon sugar” is simply cinnamon powder dusted on the waffle with icing sugar sprinkled on top tasting more like a decoration to keep the waffle from looking plain than a flavour. The fact that the cinnamon sugar didn’t melt into the waffle even with the butter to give it some sort of flavour element made it super dry eaten alone. The whipped butter was its only saving grace with the vanilla ice cream only being enough for one waffle in the end. Thank god for the jug of syrup so I could sugar overdose this dish to life again.

To summarise, the food at Orange Waffle Cafe will leave one underwhelmed by what could have been potentially a great tasting menu. I personally thought the creativity and idea behind the menu was fantastic with so much potential but it was let down by simply not enough finessing in the recipe department.

“Vegetable” – served with grilled bacon and fried egg with lettuce, tomato, and carottes râpées salad drizzled with herb cream sauce accompanied with a side of maple syrup. Waffles are spinach and corn. | 1200 yen

Hot Lemon Tea | 320 yen drink set price

“Cinnamon Sugar and Butter” – with added vanilla ice cream. Waffle is plain. | 750 yen + 150 yen

Service

aving both a half counter service for take-out and semi-full service when eating in, the service at Orange Waffle Cafe was very prompt and the staff are very attentive even when busy, continually checking to fill your water or knowing who hasn’t ordered yet.

Though the English level may vary from staff members, the menu has full English translations to aid in ordering should you feel worried about your Japanese communication skills.

Value for Money

hough waffle dishes will not exceed over 1500 yen (add another 320 yen for the drink set) the price point seems a bit overpriced for what you really get to eat. As the dishes are quite light on toppings, I left feeling like I had eaten a light sandwich than a proper waffle meal.

The drink set menu was definitely a deal and is very different from what I usually see offered at most cafes. It boasts quite a large range of a variety of drinks from coffees, teas, original soft drinks, juices, and even beer.

Greatly Terrific Food Outing: Cuppa Flower, Waterloo

THE VERDICT

OVERALL SUMMARY

Best for prettiness, flowers and colour!

Fancy enjoying a beautiful breakfast amongst the flowers? Who wouldn’t! You can do just that at Cuppa Flower; a cafe and florist hybrid. Be prepared for tasty and unique food combinations, superfood goodness and beautifully decorated dishes using all of the good stuff (colourful fruit and florals) without being over the top – fairy floss doesn’t need to be on everything in order to create that “wow factor”, amiriteee?? Am I right?? Oh and TOTORO CAKES!! Been to Cuppa Flower? Let me know your rating below!

Setting and atmosphere

Being a shabby chic enthusiast, I absolutely loved Cuppa Flower’s decor. With spring flowers in bloom and distressed furniture, I was totally feeling my vibes in this cafe x florist combo. Surrounded by glass windows, the inside is light, airy and alive with the buzz of chatter. The cafe is quite busy and there’s usually a line outside, but turnover is very quick and we were given a seat within 5-10mins.

To one side of the cafe, the florist is adorned with seasonal flowers, a beautiful mix of hydrangeas, orchids, roses, lilies and various perennials.

FOOD

Fitting the florist theme, the dishes here are fun and colourful – like a fresh bouquet but for your mouth! Cuppa flower uses the vibrant colours of summer fruits and edible flowers to create immaculately presented dishes that look and taste great, but are also healthy. And if you’re wondering, I didn’t dine here as a blogger so you can rest assured that your dishes will also look this pretty!

First on the magical woodland nymph brunch menu were the Sweet Corn Fritters. The refreshing lemony flavours of the avocado and tomato salsa accompanied the corn fritters nicely, adding to their flavour. Topped with a poached egg and a rasher of bacon, this dish would have been perfectly finished with a light drizzle of maple syrup – weird I know, but trust me on this.

The Granola was beautifully presented with a generous spread of seasonal fruits and honey. A little more yoghurt and this dish would have been perfect.

The finale – a treat for the eyes and mouth – were the Ricotta Pancakes. Served with mixed berry jam and garnished with honeycomb, a dollop of mascarpone and drizzled with maple syrup, these pancakes are a sweet tooth’s haven. If you’re not too keen on sweets, I recommend getting this dish to share – it’s very sweet!

With all this novelty food, what about the drinks? Don’t worry, they also deliver. I couldn’t pass up on the novelty lattes. With Matcha and Red Velvet on offer, how could you say no??

To take home, of course, you can’t miss the famous matcha and sesame Totoro chiffon cakes! Divinely light and fluffy, I would have loved a little bit more of the matcha and sesame flavours to shine through.

Cuppa Flower - Red Velvet Latte and Matcha Latte — Red Velvet and Matcha Latte | $5

Sweet Corn Fritters served with avocado and tomato salsa, poached egg and bacon | $18.90

Cuppa Flower - Granola — Granola – mountain muesli served with vanilla yoghurt, seasonal fruits and honey | $14

Cuppa Flower - Ricotta Pancakes — Ricotta Pancakes served with Cuppa Flower mixed berry jam, ricotta cheese, crunchy honeycomb, mascarpone and maple syrup | $18.90

Cuppa Flower - Totoro Chiffon Cake — Totoro matcha and sesame chiffon cakes

SERVICE

The place is extremely busy but turn over is quite fast. There’s no table service, which means you need to order over the counter – this is good and bad. Good, because you’re left alone without being disturbed, but bad because if you need something (i.e. extra knife/fork etc) it can be hard to get someone’s attention.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Prices are reasonable for most dishes, with some reaching the $20 mark which I find is getting to the pricer side of brunch (this is usually for the more involved dishes). I do find that cuppa flower are very generous with their servings – i.e. you get a lot of fruit, bacon or salmon on your dish, which other cafes can be quite stingy with.

Greatly Terrific Food Outing: Eddy’s Ice Cream

OVERALL SUMMARY

Instaworthy Looker

The ‘My Little Pony’ of ice cream parlours. Don’t have another boring ice cream when you can pretty up your next sugar hit at Eddy’s Ice Cream! We check out the newest ice cream trend to hit Tokyo’s beloved fashion street Harajuku to see if our creation will be a ‘flavour bomb’ or a case of ‘style over substance.’

SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE

Targeted for the high school crowd that frequently flock Harajuku’s streets, Eddy’s Ice Cream is just what you would imagine the kids of Arthur would have frequented on their after school adventures. It’s a tiny parlour with a cute pink interior that matches perfectly as the building is also called the “Pink House” and hidden in the quieter side of Harajuku Street.

Inside the parlour during the afternoon is the busiest time with crowds of young girls eager to take a photo with their decked out ice cream creations. Though there are some great little photo spots like the retro pink phone booths around the store, the tiny space leaves not enough room to move freely to take the ultimate Instaworthy shot. Wait your turn, or come earlier when it’s not as chaotic.

FOOD

Though a handy pre-design menu is provided, at Eddy’s Ice Cream the pleasure comes from the ability to “customise” the ultimate ice cream cone of your dreams.

Not only can you pick what toppings you can have on your one-of-a-kind ice cream but you can also pick the flavour of the soft serve and also the base out of the 12 waffle cone designs they have on display. During the calendar holidays, they also offer a limited-edition food and drink menu for the occasion only adding to the fun!

For the month of December, two new ice cream designs were released: a Christmas tree design called “Christmas” and a reindeer theme called “White Bell.” In addition, two new hot drink selections were also released for the cold season.

In the spirit of the season, I chose “Christmas” with the mixed vanilla and strawberry flavoured soft serve as my pick. Although it is very impressive in presentation, the taste isn’t much to brag about. Overall taste-wise, it was a safe Neapolitan ice cream experience.

Christmas (¥1400)

Toppings included: a yellow coloured star made of white chocolate, a shortbread butter cookie shaped present, holly leaves and candy cane and white chocolate covered waffle wreath with Christmas coloured cornflakes

SERVICE

As a parlour, the service at Eddy’s Ice Cream was friendly and brief. Just queue up and wait for your order. The orders can also affect the order time as one staff is usually stationed at the front ice cream machine and register while the few staff members at the back also help to cater to orders. Despite this, the orders flow quite fast from start to finish taking usually a few minutes to complete each cone.

VALUE FOR MONEY

For sure Eddy’s Ice Cream is a lot pricier than your general double scoop at Baskin-Robbins but for the elaborate designs, it’s money well spent if you want a pretty

looking dessert. Value for flavour though, not so much, unfortunately.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Best Mulled Wine

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walkin’ in a winter wonderland… And psst… I know exactly where you can catch your own winter wonderland right here in Sydney! Escape the winters blues for a beautifully magical night under a sky adorned with over 4000 fairy lights. Enjoy rustic meals while sipping on mulled wine and let the world go drifting by…

SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE

The East Village Hotel has unveiled the perfect escape from the cold, with a winter wonderland themed rooftop garden and delicious winter inspired menu.

Located on a quiet street in Darlinghurst, The East Village hotel looks like your typical Aussie pub upon first glance. But don’t be fooled by appearances, for the hotel’s rooftop holds a secret only shared with those that venture inside.

Making your way up six flights of a winding staircase, a winter wonderland awaits with stunning decor, a warm and cosy atmosphere and a night sky filled with fairy lights. Inspired by the extravagant light displays in Europe throughout winter, the team at East Village hotel have worked hard to ensure their representation was as accurate as possible – and they succeeded. There is something so lovely about being able to experience a winter night outside in such a magical and cozy setting with views of the CBD skyline. Simply perfect.

FOOD

Serving modern Australian cuisine, the team at The East Village Hotel accompany their Winter Wonderland setting with a deliciously rustic and hearty winter menu.

But first. We need to speak wine. Mulled wine to be exact. Ordering the Gluhwein is a must and has got to be the best mulled wine I have ever tasted. This home brewed recipe is so perfect that a myriad of spices and winter berry flavours fill your mouth upon each sip. It’s complex, layered and delightfully sweet, without being sickly sweet.

To eat, start the night with the Grilled Haloumi Skewers. They are fantastic with perfectly balanced flavours. The saltiness of the cheese is accompanied by the sweetness of honey and balanced with a freshly squeezed lemon. Yum!

For main, I couldn’t go past the Honey Glazed Ham Board served with spiced pear chutney. This dish is delicious and just oozing with the essence of winter. Having invited the boy with me (he’s vegetarian by the way – I know how is a foodie to cope?) I was extremely delighted to see a number of vegetarian options available. He decided to go for the Zucchini Flower and Mint Orecchiette which was nice, but I was soooo badly hoping there would be some stuffed zucchini flowers on top!

Finally, we finished the night with the Hot Doughnuts. They were gorgeously crispy on the outside and amazingly soft on the inside. So soft in fact that they melted in your mouth – I kid you not. Coated in cardamon sugar and served hot with a dollop of Chantilly cream, they are the perfect indulgence for winter.

Gluhwein - Mulled Wine — Gluhwein – Mulled wine with Claret, Tawny Port, Martell VS Cognac, spices and winter berries | $8

Grilled Haloumi Skewers – Honey, lemon & oregano | $14

Honey Glazed Ham Board – Hand carved ham, spiced pear chutney, grilled sourdough | $19

Zucchini Flower and Mint Orecchiette – Shell pasta, pesto, broad bean, asparagus, pine-nuts, feta (v) | $20

Hot Doughnuts – Cardamon sugar, orange and honey syrup, Chantilly cream | $12

SERVICE

Really friendly and attentive. Service was a little slow at times (and sometimes forgetful – our second serving of mulled wine never came) but hey we’re all human and it definitely didn’t deter from the beautiful night! I’d definitely go back!

VALUE FOR MONEY

Great food at standard pub-style prices.
