mocha java & satura cakes

Whenever I come home to the Islands, I usually meet up with my working friends during their lunch hour. Wednesday was no exception. I met my friend, Debi for lunch.

We met at Ward Centre's Mocha Java. I hadn't been there in ages. And usually when Satoshi and I went there, it was for breakfast.

There used to be a restaurant called Crepe Fever next to Mocha Java, but that has since closed and the whole area is now Mocha Java.

Since breakfast was served all day, Debi chose the Breakfast Crepe (US $6.95, I think).

I took the Mexican Crepe (US $7.95), just because Mexican food is hard to come by in Japan. Shredded chicken, lots of veggies, and lots of cheese, a salad and a scoop of brown rice. Sadly, it was way too much food for me, and I couldn't finish it.

Before going to lunch, I surfed the internet and there was a website with coupons. Luckily, there was one for Mocha Java, so we each had a free coffee with lunch. We had a nice lunch and lots of conversation. (Thanks Debi!)

Before leaving Ward Centre, I went to check out Satura Cakes. If I'm not mistaken, think this place comes from California and a Japanese guy, from Japan, working in Silicon Valley started it.

They didn't really have much of a selection, so I picked up some strawberry shortcakes (each US $4.50 +tax), since we have some birthdays in our family coming up...meh, it was more expensive than some of the stuff I've bought in Japan and the cake was a little heavier too.

Changing the subject, look what I found outside despite the rain...(it was actually raining while I took this)

Have a great weekend!

UPDATE: Satura Cakes closed in 2010
