Happy Birthday Hello Kitty! Three Apples Exhibition and Royal T Cafe

Hello Kitty Three Apples Exhibition Royal T Cafe
Happy Birthday Hello Kitty!

Today's Hello Kitty's 35th Birthday! She looks so young! :)

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I went to the opening night party for the Hello Kitty Three Apples Exhibition. If you are in Los Angeles, get yourself to the show at Royal/T Cafe before November 15, 2009.

I went back on Friday and although I took another boatload of photos (see flickr sets here and here), for this post, I'm concentrating on the Food-related Hello Kitty items at the cafe and exhibition!

Royal T Cafe has a special Hello Kitty themed menu for the exhibition. My friend and I went for brunch on Friday. Royal T has a full tea menu...their mint tea uses dried and fresh mint. Delicious way to start the day!

I would cook more if I had a Hello Kitty pot...

Cell phone charms - Hello Kitty Three Apples Exhibition Royal T Cafe
Grab a phone in Japan and it has a cell phone charm on it (at least this was true a few years ago). I'm disappointed because my phone doesn't have a loop for a charm! This one is Hello Kitty INSIDE a bowl of noodles. The one behind it is Hello Kitty in a rice bowl. Kawaii!!! (Cute!!!)
