Tokyo Travel Guide : Best Breakfast in the world

So I went Japan with my friend last year to spend xmas and new year there and we ate at Bills, which is dubbed the world’s best breakfast. 
Info here

Btw, they have like two branches in Tokyo; one is in Harajuku/ Omotesando while the other is on a man-made island Odaiba (we went this branch).

We arrived quite early at Tokyo Decks Odaiba and found out there was a queue already. We were told waiting time is about 1hr+ but we ended up entering the restaurant within 30 mins, which was great.

We were able to see them at work while we waited. ooh thick fluffy pancakes~~~

We ordered the full Aussie breakfast and the Ricotta hotcakes to share. Both of them were really good. I intro-ed another friend to try this in his trip in May this year. He said he liked the Aussie breakfast, but other girls that I intro-ed this shop to, said they like both. Guess girls like pancakes more eh? 
The hotcake is thick but light and fluffy and I thought I would get sick of the thick hotcake like I usually do with thick hotcake, but I didn’t. Finished it all up and wished I could get another portion but was full already T^T 
Tbh, I thought we wouldn’t feel full when the food was served cos we are both big eaters despite being girls XD. However, the food was really filling and well, I can only conclude that it is indeed the best breakfast I have eaten so far. Singapore has no pancakes that can top this (imo), which kind of make me sad cos I can’t find this in Singapore T^T. 
The full Aussie breakfast - Seriously, we don’t even like tomato that much but we were all trying to get the last piece of it. The way they cook the dishes are… ahh fluffy eggs *salivates*. 
Ah well, do try it if you are in the area, they have a branch at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse as well! :)

Price for your reference (btw this was on 30 dec 2014) and Japan has raised the tax this year, so I am not sure if there is any changes in the price now. I personally think the price is reasonable though ^^
& shops at Odaiba don’t open so early. so you might want to reach there at around 10-ish, have a breakfast and go shop after you are done eating? The weather was good (well below 10 degrees or smthg) when we were there in end Dec so we went around taking photos at the Deck.

We walked around and saw some stalls selling yakisoba and ended up eating it lol and it wasn’t even 30 mins after we had our breakfast. 
Will post about more food in Odaiba next time!

Japan travel guide: Eggs n Things

So this time round, I finally went to eggs n things for pancakes!

There are various branches in osaka, tokyo, Yokohama and so on but I went to the one in Tokyo which is near Harajuku. More info here

It was raining when I went there so we couldn’t dine alfresco but there’s wasn’t a long queue probably cos we went early too and so we were directed to the 2nd level which was already packed when we went in.

You can check out their menu here 

When we went they were still having the Halloween special menu but I didn’t order that as I wanted to try the original pancakes with strawberry. We ordered one steak with egg and one pancakes with strawberry and whipped cream.

We were given options to pair our steak and eggs with toast or pancakes (think we have to add a couple hundred yen) or potatoes. I opted for the toast. Surprisingly, despite being a pancake restaurant, the steak still tasted quite decent and the eggs and cooked well to your liking (you can choose if you want sunny sides up, runny yolks and so on, which I thought is pretty good and considerate of them). I enjoyed the meat and eggs.

The pancakes, well the pancakes are awesome. The whipped cream is fluffy and light although they give you loads of it, like seriously a mountain of it, I managed to finish all of the whipped cream (yes I know it is fattening but it just tastes so good). This is totally worth the calories and money.

They have various sauces on the table incase you get sick of your pancakes. Think there’s the maple, guava
and coconut or something (i can’t exactly remember all the syrups) but I think it is fine without the syrups as there’s ample whipped cream to pair the pancakes with and thurs the pancakes don’t seem dry. However, when you are halfway through the pancakes (I think there’s like 4-5 pieces if I am not wrong), you might get sick of the same rate and that’s when the syrups come in handy.

A satisfying breakfast and it’s about 20 sgd each. Don’t regret it at all seriously and if I happen to visit Japan again, I will definitely go there again early to avoid the queues.
