Jensen, Danish bread in Yoyogi Hachiman
代々木八幡のデンマークパンのイエンセン。
スモーピアキス、ロースハムペストリー、ティピアキス、
1500, mille cinquecento in Yoyogi Hachiman
Relatively new Italian cafe and restaurant I wanted to come to for a while. I ordered delizia al limone, cannolo, and iced latte. Lemon cake was a perfect summer sweet, and cannolo’s cream was nicely blended. Dimness and music was very relaxing. I like it very much. I should come back for lunch next time.

Nelum Kole Bath, Lotus leaf curry at Araliya Lanka, Gotanda
A special menu in August. I chose fish curry to go with. Spicy and filling! Masa ordered lunch combo with chicken curry. She ordered size small for rice yet volume was decent.

Doce Espiga ドースイスピーガ
神田に来たついでに探してみる。細い路地にあって、穴場感満載。ポルトガルのお菓子は全く知識がないので、見た目で注文。左上から時計回りに:天国のベーコン、オレンジプリン&卵プリン、リス川のそよ風、オレンジケーキ、ミモーゾ。
自宅でいただくと、なんと甘いこと!リス川のそよ風を頂いた時に、その味に覚えが。鶏卵素麺みたい。ポルトガル語で"fios de ovos"、卵の糸。遠い昔の日本がお手本としたお菓子の味なんだろうなぁ。ご馳走様でした。
Taiwanese shaved ice @Tokyo Mamehana Kobo
暑い中頑張って行ってまいりました淡路町の東京豆花工房さん。いつもは豆花なのだけれど、今日水曜日は八寶氷の日。トッピングは12種類、もちろん全部盛りで。
・小豆・金時豆
・緑豆
・タロイモ
・花生
・紫米
・燕麦ココナッツ煮
・白玉
・白木耳
・ハト麦
・蜜芋
・粉粿(フングェ)
プチプチと食感楽しく、蜜芋、粉粿は多分初めて。燕麦はオートミールのことらしく、なるほどの食感。また豆花いただきに寄りましょう。ご馳走様でした。
珈琲専門店エースののりトースト
懐かしい味、子供の頃食べていた海苔の佃煮のトーストだ!BGMの流れていない店内は昭和な感じ。アイスコーヒーが甘いのもなんだか懐かしい。近所のご高齢の方が涼みにいらしているのかと思ったら、もう少し若い女性のグループもいらして、それなりに有名のよう。ご馳走様でした!

Shaved ice at Mana Mahalo, Hiroo
Too hot we needed to cool down on the way home, and found a flag says shaved ice. They use natural ice for the shaved ice, and it was so soft, melting quickly and we had to quickly, too!
