Eggs 'n Things, a quaint little restaurant specializing in tropical-inspired foods and drinks, soon won over our curiousity with delicious photos of their menu items. After a fifteen minute wait a table became free and we went inside.
With a clink of our Mai Tai glasses, we toasted to the end of Keisuke's workday (although he opted for the non-alcoholic version so he wouldn't get drowsy). He was quick to make the realization that most of the other guests were couples and the restaurant was probably a popular date spot. A subsequent inspection of the cutesy decor surrounding us supported that assumption, though our food arrived before we could make any further speculation.
Wow, these pancakes were delicious! Appropriately titled "Mango Agogo," the dish's fresh mango and whipped topping complemented the fluffy, flavorful pancakes perfectly. We left the restaurant, stomachs content, and made our way to nearby Yoyogi Park in search of a place to sit and chat. Our conversation however was soon interrupted by the rhythm of reggae coming from the One Love Jamaica Festival, which was being held at the nearby event grounds.
The grounds were swamped, with much of the crowds concentrated near the stage and jerk chicken booths. Some people wandered around with drums, creating their own rhythms amidst vendor tents selling traditional Jamaican wares.
Despite eating only an hour ago, we both were feeling a bit peckish and decided to order jerk chicken and pineapple smoothies. Yum!
Going slightly off topic, it was here that I realized how drastically different the image quality is when comparing the iPhone's front and rear cameras. Unfortunately, since I've never mastered the art of selfie-taking, this is probably something I'll have to deal with for now.
