Fast Food Sweets

A restaurant in Tokyo has introduced the world's first fast food sweets. These aren't your usual deep fried apple pies and chocolate chip cookies, either. This restaurant offers sweets that are made to look like traditional fast food offerings, from hamburgers to french fries. At first glance, a Mamido's Burger hamburger looks quite ordinary, but the taste reveals something entirely different. The "bun" is made of sponge cake and the "patty" is actually a molded chocolate cream. Their version of a breaded fish burger features a patty made from bananas and what looks like a side order of french fries, pictured above, are deep fried slices of custard cream.

Young people and women are generally the target market for sweets and confections in Japan, but the shop is proving to be popular with men, as well. According to the owner, a man who might be embarrassed to be seen eating a slice of cake, can walk along looking as though he is enjoying a burger!
