Sweets Paradise (｡♥‿♥｡)

So I'm obviously bad at blogging here in Japan.. （ﾉ´д｀） Well I cannot promise I'll get better with it, but you can always follow me on my facebook page as mentioned before since I'm more active there (or twitter).

But well to catch up a bit I went to a place called "Sweets Paradise" with Maria on my birthday!

It's a 'tabehoudai'/all-you-can-eat chain full of CAKE! Yes people.. this is where you wanna go to get fat lol..

I went to the shop in Shinjuku, it's right next to Shinjuku station east exit.

 

 

Well since it was my birthday we had been thinking about going to a regular cake restaurant, but hey.. why not go all out and go to a cake buffet?? Much cheaper anyway and you can try more than 20 different kinds of cake! You get 70 min for about 1500 yen.

 The ticket machine! There was a small line when we came there but we didn't wait more than 10 min I think.

 The cake van!

 Full of cake!

Well they DO have normal food as well such as pasta, pizza, rice, curry, salad and soup. But not as much as cake since that's the main attraction. But we started of with a bit of the regular food hehe and then went for cake!

  

And THEN it was CAKE TIME! Well I think I totally overestimated myself.. I THOUGHT I could eat an endless amount of cake. But after one plate I felt kinda sick lol /disappointedwithself

But THEN we saw that they had ice cream as well!! Woooow win!! So obviously we had to get some while still feeling a bit sick with cake lol..

 Maria trying the icecream first.......

OMG icecream is too SWEET!? 

Yeah it was actually crazy HOW sweet it was.. so much it hurt your tongue... T_T I've never tried anything like that.. It was like soft ice with 3 spoon full of sugar on top. I usually love ice cream.. But I guess I'm not cut out for the ice cream in Sweets Paradise lol

Oh oh not to forget the small chocolate fountain!

And that was my trip to Sweets Paradise! You can check out their website of you're interested in going

www.sweets-paradise.jp/

They have shops around Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku.

Well there are a lot of these kind of all-you-can-eat places in Japan. I liked Sweets Paradise, but it was not my favorite. Most of the cakes looked really nice but were a bit boring in taste. And then a few were of course really nice! But if you wanna go for a cake buffet it is definitely worth it!!

Oh and check out my small photoshoot with Maria! The rest are on my facebook page ;D

Trying out my new lens! And it was Maria's first time trying a photoshoot.. I'm really surprised how well she did!! Especially because she usually gets a bit awkward when I take regular photos of her haha!!

 

And least but not last... I did something to my hair 8D

Shinjuku

The other day I met with some friends in Shinjuku. This is the LOVE sculpture located at I-land tower in Shinjuku. I've seen the sculpture in music videos, dramas etc. so I was really happy to see it live haha!

When going to Shinjuku, most people go to Kabukichou. There're loads of restaurants, izakayas, bars and so on. It's also a very popular for all the host clubs located there. At night time, you'll see the host guys standing everywhere trying to get girls into their clubs. I personally hate walking in Shinjuku alone as you will very likely get 'attacked' by several hosts OR facers wanting to get you into whatever they are working for.

However, daytime in Shinjuku is a nice place for hanging out and shopping. Right at Shinjuku East exit is a department shopping mall called ALTA which is kinda similar to 109 in Shibuya, but smaller. A lot of cafes are located around Shinjuku as well when you want to rest for a bit ;)

The Imperial Garden is a popular park in Shinjuku and said to be special for the Japanese. It cost 200yen to enter and closes at 5pm. It's a very beautiful park in the middle of Shinjuku and lots of families, couples etc come their to have a picnic or relax. I like the park a lot, but due to the entrance fee I'd rather go to Yoyogi park. Especially on Sundays, a lot of things happen in Yoyogi park which is very entertaining.

As mentioned, night life in Shinjuku is very lively! Due to Japan saving energy at the moment, not all the signs are lit, though its still a very amazing sight! As we're in October right now, Halloween is everywhere! But since it's Tokyo, you will always see many diverse styles and fashions.

 

I like Shinjuku a lot! But I'd recommend walking at least with a friend or a guy! Best in groups haha! Since otherwise you'll get followed by all the host and facers..

Yup that was all for now! Today I'm just having a relaxing day at home since my roommates finally came back today! I've been alone in the apartment for a whole week now! And there's really not much to do haha.

Hope you liked!
