Tonight, I spent a lovely evening with my good friend Amy for an early Valentine’s day dinner. It was my first time at Legato, an Italian restaurant which overlooks the busy nightlife of Shibuya, Tokyo.

I enjoyed a lovely Christmas evening in Shibuya with my friend Kellie (yes, also my co-worker!). She introduced me to Cafe Manduka, which serves boba drinks and other delicious desserts.

There isn’t too much you can do when Halloween falls on a Wednesday, but I met up with a friend in Shinjuku for some drinks after work and we luckily came across this Halloween-inspired brick toast at Pasela.

I enjoyed catching up … Continue Reading
