Impromptu JB Shopping Trip 2015 - Sushi King and Miyakori Cafe @ CitySquare Mall

Before 2015 ends, Derp and I had an impromptu trip to JB :) Basically to run our errands which is to stock up our daily necessities. The very last time we went to JB was to visit Doraemon Secret Gadget Expo in 2014. 

It's been quite some time hence it's time to take advantage of the good exchange rates and head there. 

But because we went during the long weekends, the queue at the custom was longer than usual. We queued for nearly 1/2 hour before getting to our destination, City Square Mall @ JB. Not forgetting the public bus to get into JB was also very crowded despite us leaving for JB only around noon time.  

Since it was during the Xmas period and also the launch of the Peanuts movie, there was this Xmas decoration which is Peanuts theme in City Square Mall. 

Though we are not fans of Snoppy and Charlie Brown, but I thought the decoration was quite nice so here are some of the photos taken.

I thought this 'house' was quite nicely made so here's a photo with it. 

We started running our errands and once we were done, we went to have our late lunch. This time round, we chose to have lunch @ Sushi King.

These were some of the food we ordered..

They were having promo for their soft shell crab so we ordered that too.

Though the price is affordable, but the variety of their sushis were so-so. There were only a few types going around the conveyor belt hence we kept seeing repeated food. I felt their sushis weren't that authentic especially the rice portion. I will still gladly prefer our local sushi chains like Sushi Express/Itacho Sushi.

After having lunch, we continued shopping around since we were done with our errands. We both managed to buy our own stuffs at a cheaper price even though they can be found locally. #cheapthrills

Just before we left to go back to Singapore, we bumped into this cafe. I was totally excited because I didn't know there's a cafe in City Square Mall. That's definitely something new and different from my previous trips to there. And coincidentally, we were there on their first official opening day :)

We went in to have some desserts and rest our legs before the journey back to Singapore...

To be honest, this cute logo caught our attention first :) 

I'm so going to lay my hands on the cake with the 'bear' print on it haha! 

Because we weren't hungry or neither full, we ordered a piece of the 'bear' cake to share because it seems to be their signature cake. Too cute to not have it :)

So here's what we ordered..

Kuromitsu Coffee (RM13.90) and Signature Peanut Chocolate Cake (RM 13.90)

Both of us actually like their coffee because it doesn't leave a strong aftertaste. If I'm not wrong, it's actually honey infuse black coffee so it's somewhat sweet and bitter at the same time. I will say it's a very special taste for coffee :) 

The cake was pretty average other than the cute design on it. Will definitely try their other cakes (the sakura flavour seems to be a popular choice) the next time I go back there again.
