MONARCH of LONDON                           

  

Cupcake shop from London.

I really hope to stay longer this UK shop. Longer than Magnolia bakery..!!

 

In my opinion, some points are worried about.

 

1) expensive

2) cakes are small

3) too big box to carry

 

//good point//

without preservatives (I expected)

not too fluffy cake

cute colour

 

These are more cost for small cupcake. I might buy for a gift when I visit my friend or family. If so, box cup cakes are useful.

 

Seasonal fresh fruits will be pleased child and mum. Especially brand fruits origin in Japan will be more.  Fruits from Senbikiya is also nice..

A restaurant unknown name                   

New restaurant is opened near my place.
I note some point about this restaurant.

-This restaurant is opened the place which is change restaurant owner so often.
-Decoration of restaurant seems making up by owner since these are so rough and some are not finished.
-There is a panel between money payer (customer) and receiver (owner). That is so strange feeling.
-Meal is delicious but serving is not so special. Anyway I like noodle soup taste. Meal volume is very satisfied.
-Tables are set strange. Some customers might seat behind wall and could not see from kitchen.
-Do not run in the restanraut even so busy. Customers are having meal.

I hope this restaurant can manage well in this place. How I can tell them to owner...
