Third day of Tokyo consisted of us heading over to Shinjuku to do some shopping. It was late so we decided to have brunch but it was so damn hrad to find a brunch place in Japan?! Wandered around and around and finally spotted a brunch place.
We kinda regretted it a little bit actually because turned out that the place was a smoking place and unlike Korea cafes which provide smoking areas, smoking place in Japan meant that the entire area is okay for smoking. So yeah it wasn’t the most pleasant exerience. The food was also reallye xpensive and the coffee bland, but it gave us some time to settle and just relax for a bit, and also shelter from the rain.

Pancakes and sandwiches. The set was about $15, not really worth it in my opinion but well Tokyo’s expensive
When the rain started to fade off a little bit, we walked around and found a huge Uniqlo branch called ‘Bicqlo’. I had a picture of it above but we visited the bigger outlet! It’s basically like a super giant Big Camera x Uniqlo store with a few subsidiaries inside including GU, where we shopped and found tons of cheap deals. IMO these brands are the cheapest things you’d find in Japan, cheaper than elsewhere!
After a ton of shopping, we met up with my brother’s friends for one of more famous ramen shops around!

THIS WAS SO DELICIOUS. There are three levels to choose from: 3, 6, 9. I chose 3 and it turned out to be not spicy at all ._. They serve a bowl of mapo tofu and rice together with the ramen, and actually the chili they use for the ramen is the same mapo sauce, which surprisingly tasted really good mixed into the ramen. So i just took my mapo sauce and put it into the ramen since it wasn’t spicy hahaha.
After a nice meal, bro’s japanese friend suggested going to this club to hang out. It’s kinda like a country club, also known as the ‘happy club’, which was located a bit ulu.
The concept of this place is that you pay 1000 yen ($12) for 3 hours entrance. In these 3 hours you can do anything inside the club, pool, darts, unlimited drinks, karaoke, manga, internet etc!
It’s actually a pretty cool concept, really worth the money! If this was in Singapore I foresee it being our ultimate hangout place hahaha.
That’s all for D3 of Tokyo! ^^
