Today I Got Into a French Pastry Shop

Not Much French in My Vocabulary

 

 

Here's a little secret: I had 3 years of French in high school but, never learned much.

See, I kept goofing around and, never made it to French II.

The 3rd time around (after flunking again) the teacher made a deal with me.

She'd give me a passing grade if, I promised, not to come back, in my senior year.

So, I did the honorable thing and, had an extra GYM class instead. Yeah !

 Arriving before 11AM, I had to kill time, waiting for the shop to open.

So, I shot this sign and checked my wallet for 100 dollar bills. None were found.

 These days, I don't drive a car but, it's nice to know parking is available.

If, I had a car, I'd park it under that shade tree. Okinawa gets hot.

At exactly 11AM the door was opened and I stepped inside with my camera.

It's always a good idea, to ask if photography is allowed. I was good to go.

Not wanting to shoot any customers, I waited until the place was all clear.

This isn't your typical bakery; you can sit down and relax in the air-conditioning.

There's enough room for a dozen people, to be seated in here.

As soon as, there were no more customers in the store, I placed my order.

Not sure if, the gal spoke English or French, I ordered in Japanese.

Two of those Camp Hansen Cheese, with Hokkaido butter, is what I got.

The girl, asked if, I wanted to sit at a table and have some coffee with it.

It was hot and sunny outside and I wanted to do some more outdoors photography.

So, I told the gal, it would be a takeout order and was on my way.

Back at the office, the cheese cake got put away in the refrigerator. 

And, I flipped the switch on the air-conditioner before, getting busy on this:




My little bit of a one hour excursion got boiled down to 20 some seconds.

Mad Mike Review: Japanese Pastry --- Cheescake (チーズケーキ)

 

Everybody Loves Cheescake

 

 

 

For my first full day of being almost toothless, I decided to try something new.

Last night's dinner of Corned Beef Hash and smashed Pork and Beans was alright.

Feeling like splurging a little, I flip-flopped down to a convenience store.

That's when I spotted some cheesecake and decided to do this review.

Walking back to the office, I noticed a fancy pastry store was open.

What luck.  Wouldn't it be nice to do a comparison ?

Hell, yeah !  I love cheesecake.  Too bad I couldn't find a dozen cheesecakes to do for you.

The Connoisseur Decision Has Been Made

 

Whoever baked these things and named them Cheescake should be locked-up.

What happened to the CHEESE ?

Maybe, in Japan, all you have to do is throw some over your shoulder while it's baking !

They looked and tasted like Pound cake. Not bad.

The real winner, wasn't either of the cakes.

The Lotte Vanilla ice cream, obviously, had some quantities of milk products in it.

Ice cream wins.

So, I won't be sending the law after those people.

Problems have been noted in Japan's restaurants concerning Food Fraud.

Something tells me, they need to look at bakeries, too.

NOTE: If you have a cheesecake you would like to have reviewed, contact me via my website.

The two above, get a zero so, I won't mention the business names.
