TOKYO: Dominique Ansel Bakery

Close friends will know that I have an immense fear of flying. It's really stupid given that travel by aeroplane is supposedly the safest mode of transport if we take into account death statistics. Hence, all my travels are mostly around South East Asia. I remember those flights to UK and USA previously were simply too much for me to bear. 

The stress everytime the pilot comes on the overhead, and worst, I CAN NEVER FALL ASLEEP ON PLANE. Even when flying business, on the flat bed, I hardly fall asleep. 

Hence, there's simply no way I was going to make the trip to New York or London to try the creator of cronuts.

I was so happy when they Dominique Ansel made the announcement that he was going to open a bakery in TOKYO !

BTW, I heard they change their menu every 6-8 weeks

There's 2 level to this Omotesando Branch. (There's another branch in Ginza but I don't think there's a sit down area hmmm.)  The bottom one, being the cheaper option. Opt to sit at the top, there's more things in the menu, however, vaguely from memory there's either a cover charge or a minimum spend. 

I came around 11am for Brunch. 

Very happy, must take picture in front of the store.

I can never say NO to Lobster roll! Even though I know Luke's lobster is a stone throw away from Dominique. 

Far right: MUST GET molten omelette souffle

CRONUT!

I've never been a fan of cronuts, but, come on, if you're at the creator of cronuts, you HAVE to get the cronut. 

Still not a fan of cronut after having this.

BTW, they come out with new flavours every month.

Baked Apple Pie Alaska

Was told that I HAVE to order this. Have never been a fan of Alaskas, this was unfortunately still unable to change my mind. 

Mind you, I was a table for one, because Nick was working and I decided to make an impromtu trip to Tokyo myself. I know there's heaps of other MUST ORDER dishes including 1) the perfect little egg sandwich 2) Cookie Shot 3) Frozen Smore's

Will come back on my next trip with Nick to try more !
