OUAM’s Shibuya Toast Dessert!!
It’s cheat day and I indulged in Once Upon A Milkshake’s new offering of Shibuya Toast where the mascot is the super cute Shiba Inu named Hachiko. I opted for the single with pecan, butterscotch and an additional banana, which came up to a total of $5.50. The buttered thick toast was nice and warm...

Halia @ Raffles Hotel
