Sweets Paradise Shinjuku & 250円 Bento

スイーパラ章!!
Even before I landed in Tokyo I wanted to check out the really awesome looking pasta and dessert buffet.
Did anyone mention pasta!?
It's my favoriteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!!
ヾ(@⌒_⌒@)ノ ウマヒィ
I could eat pasta all day everyday!!
My mom even warned me that if I continued this unhealthy obsession one day I would end up marrying a man who sells/cooks pasta for a living.
Eek!!

On the way to スイーパラ~




Hachiko Statue at the Shinjuku Station Hachiko Exit


And finally we're here!!


Colourful interior of Sweets Paradise
Somehow I looked rather weird that day so...
Here's the supersize picture of the half-eaten [sorry!!] cakes I took.
It's always been a habit of mine to enlarge food pictures.
Hohoho~
うまいそ~な~!!
一番大好きのティラミスもあるよ~!!

クールな言葉を使いたい...ごめん!!

Plain Margherita Pizza

Instead of using a normal spoon like everyone else I chose this kiddy Teddy Bear spoon instead.
It's just soooo cute it makes eating so much fun!!
[恥ずかしいけど...I have tons of cutleries like this in London.]
[壁]_・)チラッ

Also on a totally unrelated note, I bought a bottle of green tea just to get this free K-On keychain for my brother. Lucky he didn't force me to collect the entire collection or I would be drinking green tea throughout my entire trip in Tokyo.
 ̄Д ̄


Finally...
The 250円 each bento!!
Well, 262円 including tax to be precise.
I was really sceptical about the taste of the food but it was surprisingly good!!
The shop is open for 24 hours †ヽ(゚ロ゚;)キェーッ! and is just around the corner from my hotel in Asakusa.

Namco Namja Town [Part 2]

(*^з^●) /~~~ オヒサ~♪
Here's the update for the second part of my adventure in Namco Namja Town!!
ヾ(@⌒▽⌒@)ノワーイ!
After having ice-cream, we proceeded to the haunted part of Namja Town.
And this was what we saw to greet us.


ガ━━Σ(゚Д゚|||)━━ン!! 


A giant monster cat with an extending neck and loud growl and disgusting breath!!
All for real!!
The cat started growling and extending it's head once I went near to it.
Does it hate me??
*sobsob*
。・゜・(/Д`)・゜・。うわぁぁぁぁん 
The Entrance

There was a giant demon monster chair next to the entrance with various people's pictures on the wall next to it.
It didn't take us long to realise that you could take pictures with it for around ¥400.
After paying and taking the picture, my classmate didn't know where to collect it.
I figured it would come out from the monster's mouth.
And...
It really did.
Demon Monster Photo Machine
We walked past this freaky looking cage where you could go in to take pictures.

My super evil classmate told me nothing would happen but when I sat down on the chair...
The demon started growling and the chair started shaking and I got so scared I ran out.
(;≧皿≦)。゜°。ううううぅぅぅ 

Still managed to get a picture though.

Off to the Mononoke Detective Team Game!!

Entrance to collect the spirit cat

Basically what you do is to pay ¥600 for the spirit cat figurine and you carry it around with you.
You then search for quiz machines where you can place the cat and answer quizzes about Japanese demon folklore to rescue all the other cat spirits that have been kidnapped by the demon king.

Me and the cute kitty figurine that kept meowing non-stop

Unfortunately in the end we only managed to answer one question correctly.
It was almost impossible to get all of them correct!!
Even the Japanese couldn't answer them!!
The questions were like: Who is the Demon King of the Sea??
( ̄〜 ̄;)??
Cat spirits popping out everywhere
Altar
And this has got to be the scariest part of it all.
After pressing the buzzer near the counter, a cute cat's voice welcomes you and after that...
A head of a ghost drops down to scare you.
