This time I came here specifically to eat pancakes. Having bought takeout before, I wanted to eat them here even more. They were made to order and were hot and spicy🤩. The shop is mainly decorated with grass, the environment is comfortable and cool, and there is a big tree near the entrance which is quite special 😆. The food is mainly pancakes and souffle, with Cool Premium and beverage options also available. - 💥Caramel Banana Pancake HKD$98, served early with a fragrant banana aroma, ingredients include caramelized banana, nut pieces, cream cheese and honey. The caramel banana has a crispy texture, and the banana is soft and ripe and fragrant🤤. There is a lot of cream cheese, the taste is rich and smooth, and it tastes even better when mixed with pancakes😚. - 💥Mixed Fruit Chocolate Pancake HKD$108, this one is colorful and made with fresh mixed fruits, chocolate sauce and cream cheese. The mixed fruits include strawberry, blueberry, kiwi and orange, and the taste is sour and sweet 🤩. The chocolate sauce is slightly sweet and tastes special when paired with cream cheese.

A shrine on the outskirts of Osaka. It's famous for getting rid of swellings, and it's a shrine. You can get swellings when you get older, right? lol The photo of the collection of threads is done by walking around the shrine once, folding a paper thread? one by one, and making a wish to the gods after 100 rounds. I didn't post it because there are a lot of people in it, but everyone is spinning around like ants. I'm getting pretty old now, so I'm at the age where someone around me or I might get cancer soon. I don't know if it will work, but it feels good. It's a big shrine in my hometown. It's far from Osaka city, but it's famous for being crowded with people. But it does lift my spirits. Yes. But still, the stray cat? is so cute lol #Ishikiri Shrine #Osaka #Cancer #Swellings #Prayer #Historic Site
