Gudetama Cafe in Osaka!

[Japan Trip Day 3~ 20/2/18]

I'm clearing my backlogs for my Japan trip now before I resume my daily classes. I'm trying to go by a chronological order but somehow I just ended up typing according to my mood... So the sequence could get jumbled up, sorry... :'D

On day 3 in Japan, Jim and I were supposed to head to Kyoto! But before that, we decided to drop by the Gudetama Cafe in Osaka.

The cafe is located at HEP FIVE, which is close to the JR osaka station.

Good thing is, the station is in central Osaka and it's very accessible. Unfortunately, on the day that we went, we were dragging our luggages and it was raining heavily. D:

It took us a lot of walking (mainly detours) but we finally located the building! The gudetama cafe is located on the 7th floor and there was a short queue. It was about 40 minutes, but frankly, nothing surprises us anymore after queuing for rides at USJ the day before.

Menu:

One particular dish caught our interest:

In Japan, there is something called the Oyako Don, loosely translated into "Parent and child ricebowl" - that is because there is chicken (parent) and egg (child) in the same dish. Quite morbid if you ask me.

For this particular dish, it's called "Not parent and child, it's someone else" ricebowl... Because instead of chicken and egg, it was beef and egg.

Anyway, upon entering the cafe, we saw this!

We had a corner seat, and we saw these beside us:

The one on the right was too lazy to even be a gudetama.

What...?

In the end, we didn't order the morbidly named ricebowl. Instead we got curry rice and pasta, as well as coffee~

The coffee was 550 yen, roughly equivalent to the price of starbucks. 

The curry rice came first, the face was slightly off though...

Yet the butt was perfectly shaped... I guess that's what that mattered most, right?

Pasta! Honestly, I don't have much opinion about the taste of the dishes, they weren't particularly delicious or nasty. Which I guess, is good. I'm too used to local themed cafes having half-assed food, so having decent food for a change is actually good. 

Given that we braved the weather just to get here, we probably would have beaten the crap out of the Gudetama beside us if the food sucked. 

Merchandise shelf! I didn't buy anything though.

Uguu~ 

Both of us spent about $20+ sgd each, which is quite a decent amount as well. However, I probably wouldn't visit it again because I am not that big a fan of gudetama, and frankly the novelty wears off in a while. However, if you have never been there before, then it is still worth a visit!
