The Sanrio Cafe! A local favorite opened at the Pearlridge Mall earlier this year. Adjacent to the Sanrio (Hello Kitty) Store, this tiny "cafe" sells coffee, teas, hot cocoas, and sweet treats with an officially licensed Hello Kitty image out of a few small refrigerated cases at the edge of the retail space. They serve over-priced, small portions and I couldn't justify treating myself alone in recent months. But out of the blue, a reason appeared! We heard on Tuesday that a friend from high school (and one of Noel's college roommates) was here on Oahu with his wife. We made plans to join them for dinner in Waikiki last night. She is a huge Sanrio/Hello Kitty fan and I knew she'd enjoy the Cafe sweets if I brought them for an after-dinner treat. So while running errands yesterday, I made an extra stop.Here's what we shared between the four of us - a light meringue chocolate and creme cookie, strawberry and chocolate mousse mini-tower, and a berry tapioca bubble pudding. Good times.
