Peninsula Hotel Gym

 A gym freak like me of course will take pictures of random gym's. After comparing the Gym at Ritz and Peninsula, i think Ritz Carlton's gym is so much better. For joggers and others who like to go to workout rooms and not swimming, you'll probably like Ritz Carlton's Gym better. It's alot bigger, they have more equipments, and the view is just absolutely beautiful. Peninsula's work out room is only about 1/3 or close to 1/2 the size of Ritz.

The shower room though, however, is a lot nicer. Peninsula have multiple shower rooms (close to four if i remember correctly?) while RItz only had one.

日本料理・懐石料理 招福楼

 招福樓
Uncle Wu made a biggg fuss about coming to this place. He kept telling us how important it is for us to dress nicely, wear nice socks, and wear nice shoes ( preferably brand name shoes?). I never quit got the logic behind it until i got to the place. I guess he just wanted us to be polite, because we will be taking our shoes off and walking around on tatami's ( the jap style floor made of wood chip boards).

 It was truly a very unique experience. It was the first time i got served at a restaurant with no tables, and waitress wearing kimonos walking around.  They were all very polite and elegant.

 fresh uncooked chirako. I've had cooked chirako's before but this was my first! It didn't taste as "seafoody" as i expected. It was pretty good. But personally i still prefer eating cooked and baked chirakos.

Hei Fung Terrace dimsum @ Peninsula Hotel

 Located at 2F of peninsula Hotel.
I was surprise to find this dim sum place in Tokyo :) It's been so long since last time i had dim sum. The dim sum at this place is authentic and everything is just beyond tastey! Although i do have to stress that each dish is about 1000 yen or more, double the price of those in LA, perhaps triple the price in HK.

Anniversaire cafe & Restaurant


 Drinking red wine with cheese on a beautiful chilly afternoon at the busy streets of omotesando was a very pleasurable experience.



 i was particularly amazed by their Quiche, wasn't sure if it's because i was hungry or just that it's way too tastey. If i remember correctly they only serve thirty (or something like that) of those during noon.
