Eevee Afternoon Tea

Eevee Afternoon Tea at Ometesando Strings Hotel 

A highlight of my last Tokyo trip: Pokemon themed afternoon tea! If there is a Pokemon pop-up event, I would recommend over the Pokemon cafe (less stressful to book, food was better)


Booking: 

About 2 months in advance, I booked this afternoon tea dining experience which I kept seeing on my instagram. 

I yolo'ed and booked the premium seat experience - there were different start times for the Afternoon tea and I booked 2 pm. 

Cost: 

I went all in and got the 9500 yen set on a Friday to maximize the experience - and as a Pokemon fan and foodie it was worth it! 



Experience: 10/10

The venue was gorgeous, the terrace is outside an upscale hotel where a wedding was taking place.

The decor was amazing. 


Decorated tables on the terrace:



Menu: 


Our server was friendly and tried to speak a little English. I just pointed at the tea selection and said "kore onegaishimasu" and the only other choice was the special drink. The food came out pretty quickly.

Food:

Savory

Sweets

Umbreon - slider

Flareon - Spicy Grilled Chicken Tart

Glaceon - Mousse with White Chocolate and Cauliflower

Eevee Hazelnut Frappe

Floral soda

Leafeon - Green Apple Mousse

Vaporeon - Grapefruit Gelee

Espeon - Blueberry and Cassis Cheese Cake

Sylveon - Peach Compote and Strawberry Tart

Vanilla Bean Pokeball Macaron

Eevee- Caramel Mousse

Jolteon- Chocolate Cake with Mango and Lychee Mousse

Overall thoughts:

From admiring the decor the moment I entered, and the friendly atmosphere (someone lent me her plushie when she saw I wanted a photo with the eevees and her and her friend gave me thumbs up), this was the most fun afternoon tea I've ever experienced! I enjoy sweets and the sweets definitely outnumbered the savory, and everything was really high quality (although the sweets did end on the heavier side- I don't know how petite Japanese women can eat this entire meal). The service was also great and the staff helped take pictures. I definitely recommend trying out theme pop up experiences!

Hilton Moorea – Overwater Bungalow Review

-
Image
The Hilton Moorea was one of the coolest hotel experiences in my life: staying in an overwater bungalow and sharing the turquoise ocean backyard with fish, sting rays, and sharks was incredible. While I was fortunate to be upgraded from a land bungalow, we still paid a pretty penny to stay at this property and the Hilton Aspire card helped cover several costs (breakfast, premium wifi, etc.) If you stay, I recommend having at least Hilton gold status (through Amex Platinum or other Hilton Amex card) to maximize covering costs. This Hilton is pricey and not exactly super luxurious, but being in an overwater bungalow for a few days really did feel like paradise. Rates/Booking: There are a few different categories of rooms/bungalows:         On the land – King or twin bungalow, with or without private pool (49 rooms)         Lagoon/Beachside King overwater bungalow (3) – I do not recommend booking these         King Overw...

How to ask an attorney/professional to get coffee

Like any profession, getting a job in the legal field is all about who you know and your reputation. But networking doesn't have to suck, it can be as easy as grabbing a casual cup of coffee with a fellow colleague. You never know where a simple meeting may lead you- possibly to your next job or inspiration for where to go next! One of my 30 goals before 30 was to: Set up informational interviews with an attorney/professional once a month. I actually started doing this a few months before starting my blog, and I've gotten a variety of advice and perspectives on how people have practiced law. Here is my guide on how to ask an attorney to get coffee: 1. Know why you want to talk to this person Are you looking for a new job? Looking for general advice on how who you're meeting with got to where they are? Maybe you want to be connected to someone they know? You should know your purpose and make sure it warrants a 15-30 minute conversation, time is valuable to attorneys...

Lion King: 30th Anniversary at the Hollywood Bowl!

I happened to be in LA Memorial Day weekend and got to see: Disney’s The Lion King 30th Anniversary: A Live-to-Film Concert at the Hollywood Bowl. It is supposed to be on Disney Plus soon - and they filmed it with drones.  The highlight was definitely seeing Nathan Lane live, but also hearing Jennifer Hudson, Jeremy Irons, and I guess now I can say I was there for the moment nepo-baby North West went on stage... and it was something.  Buying the tickets:  I bought tickets for $25 each (including taxes and fees) around Section L2, as part of Rakuten ticket/concert deal- maybe 2 weeks before the show. There were a lot of seats left for the Saturday night show.  American Express Entrance:  General tip for Hollywood bowl entrance: The American Express line on the left is sometimes shorter than general admission. They scanned my card. Since we got in fairly late, they did run out of cushions, but Amex holders also save $1 by getting a complimentary cushion if you sho...
