BISTROT PETITE REGION (ビストロプティットレジョン)| Sapporo

"BISTROT PETITE REGION (ビストロプティットレジョン)" is a cozy and fashionable bistro located near Kikusui (菊水)subway station.

I'm sure ladies and couples like this homey and cute atmosphere!

Their lunch sets are very reasonable, and we can choose an appetizer, a main, and a dessert among several choices. I love this bistro!

*Their dinner course is only 3,000 yen! Unbelievable!!

Everything including the bottle is very lovely

I really recommend this home-made bread! Actually I ate four pieces of it! Hahaha!

We choose "cold cauliflower soup" as an appetizer. The natural sweetness of the vegetable is very yummy!

My friend chose "chicken satay" as a main dish. It's very bountiful and appetizing!

This is my main↓

Look at the spencer roll steak!

I put a lot of mustard with this medium-rare steak! Yummy x 2!

Last but not least, we enjoyed "Blanc Manger". The berry sauce really suits with this white dessert

Please open your mouth! Hahaha!

THE DAY (ザ ディ)| Cafe Restaurant | Sapporo

If you want to eat delicious souffle omelet in Sapporo, I recommend "THE DAY (ザ ディ)", which is located at the edge of Susukino↓

It works as a cafe restaurant from 11:30 - 17:00, and as a bar restaurant from 18:00 - 02:00. They serve very delicious meals and desserts, and it may be a good idea to drop by this place after drinking in Susukino area.

The building used to be an old warehouse, and was renovated as a fashionable space recently. I love this cozy atmosphere very much!

The lunch sets are really recommendable and delicious↓

But actually I came here today to eat souffle omelet. As they serve only 10 sets of souffle omelet a day, I arrived here as early as possible.......... Hahaha!

After they get an order, they start to make meringue. We have to wait for 15 - 20 minutes, but it's worth doing so.

Voila!
Here comes HUGE and fluffy souffle omelet! Yummy x 2!!

I put a glass beside the souffle omelet so that you can understand how gigantic the dessert is↓

Wow! Wow! Wow!
It is also thick! Don't come here alone like me! It is too huge to eat up! Hahaha!

I'm sure this souffle omelet is one of the most recommendable desserts in Sapporo!

The souffle omelet set including a soft drink is only 700 yen!
You must come and enjoy the yummy dessert!

Maruyama PILICA (円山ぴりか)| Hokkaido Souvenir | Sapporo

Hokkaido has a lot of delicious and recommendable souvenirs, whose ingredients are 100% from Hokkaido. How about "Maruyama PILICA (円山ぴりか)", rice crackers made of "Yumepilica (ゆめぴりか)", a Hokkaido brand rice"?

"Maruyama Kamado (円山 竈)," a very popular hamburger restaurant in Sapporo, made the special rice crackers. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?
There are two types.

The teppannyaki rice crackers are in the shape of snow crystals↓ Look very Hokkaido!
Two flavors; "corn potage" and "hot & sweet" can be enjoyed.  Please try the very crispy rice crackers! Personally I love this corn potage flavor. Once you pop, you cannot stop!

This is another type; senbei rice cracker↓ The soy sauce they use is not normal ones! It was awarded among Japan's best soy sauces! Wow!
This is how to make the crackers. First plain rice crackers are baked, and soaked into the special sauce. Then they are baked again.

Usually senbei rice crackers are crispy and hard, while this one is soft and juicy! Amazing, isn't it?

This soft senbei cracker has soup curry flavor, too. Please try them!

We can get these Hokkaido souvenirs at Kiosk, Maruiimai department store, Kamado Maruyama and New Chitose AP.

Morinoaida cafe (森の間cafe)| Cafe | Sapporo

"Morinoaida cafe (森の間cafe)" is a cozy cafe on the 4th floor in Ikeuchi department store, located in Odori area. This spacious cafe with wooden furniture makes us relaxed and unstained!

See?? We can feel as if we were in the nature!

I ordered a salmon and Kitaakari (a brand potato) chowder set. Sounds very Hokkaido! Hokkaido is famous for its delicious salmon and high-quality potatoes!

Don't forget a dessert! How about kumquat tart? Kumquats are fruits in the winter time. I love something seasonable!

Relaxing time............
The time trickled by slowly.............

Voila!
Here comes a cream chowder set!

The set is very healthy, isn't it?

Actually I like to soak the bread into the chowder........ Yummy x 2!

It contains a lot of vegetables and salmon!

Do you like chowder with a lot of ingredients?
(Of course!!!)

Last but not least, I fully enjoyed the kumquat tart! This dessert is available only during the winter time!

This cafe is in the downtown area of Sapporo. 
Why don't you drop by this cafe when you want to take a break?
