Tokyo Cafe

Just so you know, I didn't time this post to come right after the Japanese Festival one but it just so happened that we ate at Tokyo Cafe earlier and I felt like writing about it. There's a mall near our house called SM Southmall that is currently undergoing a big revamp. One of the new places that opened in the mall was Tokyo Cafe. My brother and I had always planned to check it out and we had our chance awhile ago after buying a present for my sister.


As I looked through the list of food they have, I noticed that the price of the drinks were that of a typical cafe but the food was expensive. Made me grimace a bit. I ordered a cold green tea drink that I hoped would go along with the clubhouse sandwich meal that I got while my brother asked for some iced cappuccino paired with his french toast. Our drinks came first and the lady said our meals would be arriving in about ten minutes. So we waited it out.



Look, it came with some liquid sugar. I thought the glass for it was cute. The service was a little bit slow but we had a lot to talk about so I didn't really mind but I hope they'd be faster next time we come here. When the food did arrive, mine came first and I was surprised at how big the set was.


It was a three-decker-three-set meal with french fries. The sandwich was a combination of ham, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, potatoes, mayo, and mustard. And this was considered a light meal in the menu. A little hard to eat - with it being so thick and all - but really good nonetheless. Then, the french toast arrived.

(There were supposed to be six pieces but we forgot to take a picture before diving in for a taste.)

These square pieces of bread were bigger than in it looked in this pic. Another great pick for the night. Loved the whipped cream. On a scale of 1 to 10 in sweetness with 10 being the sweetest, it was probably around a 6 (according to my brother - he ate more of it after all). 

Though that was all we ordered, I couldn't help but look around the other people in the cafe and glanced at the food they ordered (surreptitiously of course). Each dish was more than plentiful for one person. At least you'd get your money's worth in quantity. I have no complaints with the taste. I wish we could have tried more though. Maybe next time.
