It's important to wash down all these goodies with a carbonated drink in a light bulb.
Street food is great and all, but what if you're a wine and diner type of person, you ask?

Imagawayaki, red bean cake, in Chinatown also come in matcha and mango.
As a bonus, you get to watch with bated breath as the masters create their masterpiece.
That precision and spitfire pace, though.
Agari Bungeoppang
Double the win when ice cream comes in fun fish-shaped cones and with a shot of syrup!
