Oumi Sasaya & Patisserie Chantilly

my mom and i went to the south bay area today to check out ikea for furnishing the house. まだ全然気が早いけどね。since we were already in the area, we decided to go eat at this udon place that my mom recently found. うどんは大好きだからすっごい楽しみだった~。
お店、「近江ささや」、に入るなり、かなりのイイ雰囲気。和のテイストがかなり強く、うどん屋さんにはピッタリな空間。its a really small place. most of the tables were taken when we walked in so we ended up sitting at the counter. メニューを見ると、結構種類がいろいろあって、充実してた。一番に目が留まったのは「海老と餅天ぶっかけうどん」。i love mochi tempura. so obviously, i ordered that. それと、お供にとろろご飯。とろろ大好きですから。my mom ordered their tokusei oyako don with a small udon. i must say, everything i ordered was absolutely deeeelish! お餅がすっごい美味しかった。海老のてんぷらも大きくて食べ応えあったし。梅肉が乗ってたから、揚げ物がついてた割りにはあっさりしてた。the oyako don was also really good. the chicken was fried but the pieces were huge and very tender. one of the best i've ever eaten. 卵もちょうどいいぐらいに半熟に。美味しかった~。
お店を出て見つけたのが2件隣のケーキ屋さん。the place looked really clean and nice and since i love japanese cake, i decided to go inside. apparently, its pretty famous and has been introduced in a couple of magazines. "Patisserie Chantilly". ケーキの種類はそこそこあった。i ended up getting a strawberry cake for myself and a pudding for the bf. i also got 5 cream puffs. 3 chocolates and 2 custards. ケーキは思ったほど美味しくなかった。シュークリームが激うまでした~。seriously, those things were really delicious. また食べたいな~。
