Ocean Café (Okinawa, JAPAN) ★★★☆☆

Our search for the best cake/pastry shop on the island of Okinawa continues after lunch and it didn't take long for us to spot Ocean Café at the lower level of the ANA InterContinental Manza Beach Resort following a late lunch at the neighboring Restaurant Unkai.




I've already heard about this place from my research and was rather impressed with their pastries based on what I've seen from the web. But after a closer look, I was a little disappointed with what they had to offer. 

New York cheesecake, mango mousse cake, chocolate cake, strawberry short cake.....is that all they've got here!?



I decided to go with their caramel cake with chocolate and Okinawan brown sugar (¥570). Both the texture and taste were somewhat disappointing. For a hotel cake shop, they've got to do better than this.



After a short tea break, we got back on the road again and our first attraction in the afternoon was one of the most amazing one on the island - Cape Manza (万座で), which was just a short stroll away.

The elevated coral cliff of Cape Manza is one of the most stunning site of the island. It's a shame that we didn't come at the right time (season) to admire this beauty at its best.
