Have a coffee with Hello Kitty

How many of you know what is Hello Kitty's last name? And nope.. its not Kitty :p It is 'White' - her full name is Kitty White. She is probably one of the most famous cats in the world (well.. there have been debates as to whether she is a cat or not but lets not go there). Though she is a Japanese creation, she is of British nationality. Boy, I can still recall the unbelievably long queues when McDonald Singapore was launching the Hello Kitty toys. I'm also guilty of catching up in the craze... but hey! Which girl can resist the charm of Ms White :) I shall not reveal how many hours I spent queuing up for one of those fluffy plush. I probably won't do it again though. Ha.

My time will probably be better spent having my favorite cappuccino in one of the unbelievable adorable character based cafes. I'm going to introduce you to some of these cafes that you definitely should visit when you are in Tokyo.

First of all... I give to you... Cafe de Miki . Cafe de Miki is a Hello Kitty theme cafe where decorations are kitty based. Even if you are by yourself, you can enjoy the company of a Hello Kitty plush :)  The menu here is make up of typical cafe food like pancakes, scones, cakes etc. Almost everything is laced with the face of Ms White!

You can see Hello Kitty face on the froth of your coffee:
