Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Virgin experience with cheesy hot cross buns! Blessed Easter Sunday! It's a cherished tradition of mine to indulge in hot cross buns for the occasion every year. This year, I bought some from Marks & Spencer, a British multinational retailer founded by Michael Marks and Thomas Spencer in 1884. Also included in this blog post are a few other treats from the store.

Moreish deep-fried chicken chunks atop a bed of cold 'soba'! Managed by Gourmet Kineya, Oraga Soba is a casual chain restaurant that prides itself in serving handmade soba (Japanese buckwheat noodle) at wallet-friendly prices. Besides offering a selection of hot and cold soba , the atmosphere shifts slightly in the evening with additional offerings like kushikatsu (Japanese deep-fried skewers) that pair nicely with drinks.

A non-French restaurant atop Mount Kinka! Don't ask me why, but having a French name, Le Pont de Ciel (lit. The Sky Bridge) on top of Mount Kinka in Gifu City is a restaurant that serves Japanese cuisine. Surprisingly affordable given its offering of sweeping panoramic views of the city and beyond, the restaurant is a great spot to enjoy your lunch or tea break without breaking the bank.
