Kissa menu series: ホットケーキ (hotcakes)
Similar to pancakes, hotcakes are fluffier, sweeter and thicker. The kissaten hotcakes are usually the classic showa kind, served with a square of butter (often margarine, sadly) and never enough syrup (not real maple syrup in most cases). It is said that hotcakes were made for the first time in Ueno, during the Taisho period.
If you dare call the hotcakes from kissa Pinocchio “pancakes” (see reblog, picture on left), the master will correct you!

Kissa menu series: プリン (pudding)
A popular dessert in Japan, プリン or custard pudding is actually a flan or a crème caramel. I tried to know who imported it in Asia first, but it seems most Asian countries have their own version that came from Spain, France or Portugal. Since it’s a dessert that has been around for a long time, it is often associated with kissaten and nostalgia.
The classic kissaten way to serve it is whipped “cream” and a cherry. Another kissa speciality is the プリンアラモード (pudding à la mode), a flan served with whipped “cream” and varied fruits (and sometimes ice cream). It is said Hotel New Grand in Yokohama is its creator (like most kissa menu items).

Of flowers and cats
Same vibes and colour scheme as last outfit, but different pieces and theme. If you follow my stories, you know that I go on walks with Madame Bissonnette when the weather is comfortable enough for her (so only in spring and fall). I normally only bring my phone for pictures and videos, but last week, I grabbed my DSLR and took pictures of her with sakuras. I’ll post them separately.

Back in March, I met with Mia and Iona to have a picnic with the plum blossoms. As I am still avoiding trains and other crowded/closed spaces, I had to walk 3+ hours to get to the park and back, so that’s why I am wearing a style that would fit sneakers.
We stopped by Fru-Full Umegaoka to get fruit treats and pancakes for our picnic. Sadly, it was really windy that day, so we spent most of the picnic trying to protect the food from the dust. You can see how Iona had to help me detangle my hair from the branches because of the wind.

Gathering herbs from the garden in Pink House
Who remembers The Pink House in LA? Put a in the comments if you do. Put a in the comments if you don’t.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to do too much editing on this one since the artist, “The Most Famous Artist”, painted it all pink
Have an awesome weekend everyone!
Be safe
Do you like winter? Honestly I don’t , I prefer summer.
An old Pink House-y outfit from last spring among the crabapples (or, at least I think they’re crabapples - some kind of ornamental flowering tree).
The weather here has been warming up recently, but I have a feeling we’re not out of winter quite yet…
Please excuse my scrappy photoshop background cleaning job, as I happened to be posing in front of a children’s slide and I felt like it wasn’t the right vibe
