Day 3 (Burberry Blue Label @ Ginza & Dining @
Shiseido Parlour):
Woke up early to check the latest news on ANA. I
was worried cause the airline was on strike the night before. I'd
to ensure my flight was operating & that I can fly to Tokyo
safely. It was a such a relief when the concierge informed me that
all flights returned to normal.
My feet were aching & I longed for a foot
massage. I stumbled upon this parlour & requested for a 30min
session. Prices were stiff but my feet forbade me to think
wisely.
I was invited for dinner at the Shiseido
Parlour at Ginza. Wow! I didn't know
Shiseido is in the food business too, & own
the whole damn building in the swanky Ginza. Gosh, I was
impressed! 
I was told the parlour was established in 1902. The entire
building consists of a lounge, gallery, restaurants & even a
salon. Our restaurant was located on the 5th flr & the elevator
brought us right up to the restaurant's doorstep. Friendly staff
greeted us & offered to take our coats. The ambience is cozy
& it can be felt from the moment we entered the nifty
restaurant.
My friend & I each ordered a different cocktail - The
'Sakura Mony' & 'Plum Cooler' @ ¥840 each. I
prefer the Plum Cooler which is a mixture of Plum Wine
& Ginger Ale.
Starter for me was Assorted Hors-d'oeuvres @ ¥2,250. I
was delighted with the selection of roast beef, smoked duck, parma
ham, sashimi. It was simply delicious. For main course, I chose the
Roasted Seafood with Sauteed Tomato & Green Salad @
¥2,620. The dish comprised of a crab claw & scallop with lots
of greens & I was happy with my choice. The Strawberry
Parfait @ ¥1,680 was simply too sweet. I picked that simply
because it was written on the menu as '人気No.1です', meaning 'Most
popular choice'. I was delighted to be presented a small
bouquet of flowers just before leaving the parlour. 
Well, dinner was really nice. I thanked my
friend for the wonderful meal & went back to my hotel. When I
returned to my room & finally had time to settle down, I saw
this cute little teddy sitting on my bed. For a moment, I've
completely forgotten about my Conrad bear collection. This
bear looked different from the others I have, this is much smaller
& it's so cute. I immediately dashed to the shower room to find
my rubber duckling.
I like this white one, compared to the
yellow ducklings. I'm pleased & I felt like a big kid. This is
one joy I find when staying at the Conrad. Click
