Nearly 8 of 10, I’d spot him wandering around Ton Ton (in Regent place) every time I go there LOL

Ohhhh the bonito shaving box! I think we have one back home in Japan too. I used to help my grandma preparing dinner. She always used freshly shaved bonito flakes for Dashi soup stock!

The plates here all look amazing, I have this bad habit of lifting plates at restaurants to see where they are from. All the food looks delicious, but I think I would most like to try those 2 desserts!
