civitas

Next to the shop that fixes our shoes is Civitas.

From what I can gather, they are known for their hot cakes/pancakes.

Since it was close to lunchtime, I didn't just want something sweet, so I ordered their "snack frank" plate.

Boy, was I surprised at the volume of this "snack".

4 sausages, 2 rather large pancakes...salad and fruit...wow.

I enjoyed these pancakes, crisp on the edges and fluffy in the center.

I'll be back.

saturday

Saturday I went to check out Kissa Sunshine. Kissa in Japanese means coffee shop.

On Tabelog, the reviewers mentioned that the place is usual filled with "salarymen" (business men) during the week which equals smoking...which equals "blah".

So, I went to check them out on Saturday...well, the hot cakes while delicious, there were people still smoking...I'm glad I checked this place out though, but won't be back because of the smoking.

To end on a happy note, I had this refreshing mango sparkling tea at All Day Coffee on Saturday too.

What made it even more delicious were the bits of fresh mango in the tea!

It is blazing hot, we even had to put the a/c on already and it is only May...summer is gonna be brutal.
