I like to come here for their bakery! my secondary reason to come here is to get some fresh sashimi. And every time I drop in, I will browse their snacks section and check out what's interesting or if anything is on sale. They do have good promotions sometimes, and usually $1-2 dollars cheaper than what the grocery store would sell it for.
Bakery section - my favourites are
1. English Truffle (it's made of fresh cut fruits, fresh whip cream and some really soft angel food cake, in like a parfait cup) They always sold out if you come in like 3pm. But you can pre-order them the day before if you are certain about getting it.
2. Chestnut Cake
3. Green Tea Red Bean Cake
what so special about their cakes? Their cakes are all made with fresh ingredients, fresh cream, and they are light and fluffy! I normally take out all the cream when I eat a metro cake, but I can clean the plate for these Japanese cakes. Sometimes if you order it and pick it up on the same day, you might see them assembling one just for you, a layer of their pound cake sandwich with some red bean paste and then another layer of pound cake. Finally a light layer of frosting with light cream on the outside and some simple decoration, and it's ready to go!
