Tokyo trip 2008 - Day 5

It was another relaxed day as we made our way to Shibuya on the way to Shin-Yokohama. Had to exit the station to take another train service, but since we were at Shibuya already, we decided to try out the L'Occitane Cafe for brunch. Had a scrumptious meal and got a window seat to catch the view of the famous crossing. I ordered a Croque du L'Occitane (croque monsieur topped with tomatoes) & the L'Occitane tea, and we shared a mixed fruits tart. The tea cup was as big as my face!

After brunch, we continued to our intended destination, the ramen museum at Yokohama. It was essentially a small place where there's a past & present set-up. The olden days were depicted like a food street and there were many ramen shops, supposedly handpicked by the founder. Unfortunately, due to our heavy brunch, we didn't have any appetite to try out the many ramen stalls.

The present (future of the past) was actually the museum shop, where I bought some cute souvenirs for myself and friends.
However, we did eventually eat ramen at a shop near our hotel where it served curry-based ramen. I chose the medium spicy option, which wasn't actually very spicy.

Before dinner, we actually stopped by Isetan where I bought yet another agnès b bag. This was the only place I knew that had the pink one and the design is supposed to be their Japan-limited edition (star edition) of their classic bag. Other colours I saw at different places were bright green, red and black.

This would be my last bag for the trip.

We also bought a piece of cake for Christmas countdown. This strawberries & cream cake seems to be prevalent everywhere, so we bought a piece from Takano at Odakyu to try. Light & creamy, it was quite nice.
