went there on the 15th of this month
i was like so free on a saturday after work
so i went home to make konniyaku jellies
hahahaha
thereafter
headed to amk hub to watch quantum of solace
which i think wasnt as fantastic i the review though




richard came over to pick me up
n like i've mentioned earlier on
as i'm wearing shorts n flip flops
hahaha
he decided to go to this place at tanglin for dinner
n partly because we only met ard 830
it's pretty hard to find a place that opens past 10pm for dinner
















i must say i was pretty impressed when i first stepped in
this places oozes Japanese culture
from the friendly welcome greetings from all the staff
to rustic wooden furniture
to the Japanese posters and scrolls
which plaster the wood-paneled walls



There is a main dining area
counter/bar-style dining
and a smoking section available





For some privacy and added authenticity
u can request for the Tatami rooms
which are individual rooms with traditional-style floor level seating

























this taste pretty like "harden" bread
it's the harder kind that taste a lil sweet as a whole
not those where your teeth just sunk into the food












a very simple but we both love how it taste like
n i'm so determined to make it myself one day
especially when now i actually enjoys lettuces
n i know how this taste like
i think i can make up how this dish is made
=)
like the name suggest
"taco" rice
it taste really like dishes with the "taco" taste
adding minced beef to flavour up the dish
n lettuces to add on the layers of the food













cold noodle
u can opt for either the soya base or the sesame
richard opt for the sesame ones as he says he's always eating the soya one
but i guess the soya one tasted better
the noodles were super chewy
topped with grilled pork
yum yum
=)










i was quite hesitate about ordering this
cos i dont like to taste bloody beef
hahaha
n this was named "cubic"
so i was thinking
that it prolly will have that bloody taste
but
i'm wrong
i bet this is one of the only places
that i actually dares to take beef, not in thin slices
it is so chewy
so well marinated
cooked at a very well controlled fire
thumbs up


*denise strongly recommend this*
=D









this places does not have a very wide variety of food to choose from
if u dont take food like beef, n salmon
hahahaha
(which is me. lol)
thus in order to accomodate me
we ordered something that missus eats
hahahahaha
this dish is well handled
as it's crisp on the outside
juicy on the inside
(but of cos, not as oily as K*C)
hahahaha





we didnt ordered alot
but we were so full
because we wanted to have hagaan daz while walking ard town
but were too full
so we randomly drove around
enjoy the good weather and the breeze
n landed up n changi airport can!!!
hahahaha




not satisfied that we didnt have our ice cream
n only airport has places to satisfy out cravings at 12 midnight
lol
we ended up there
changi airport was filled with disney characters la
we were greeted at the entrance with mickey n minnie mouse
wanted to take a photo of it
but because we not sationary
i didnt have a change too
bohoo~











thus the night ended well
with us feeling so satisfied with the ice cream
that we didnt realise the tram ended at 200am
so we walked all the way from t2 to t1
(as he parked his car there)
how cool~




one thing i enjoyed hanging out with this friend of mine is we both love a wide range of music
like he likes japanese piano too
so i'll tell him of the composers that i know whom i played their pieces n think it's good
n he'll recommend them
which explains how i can reach my hse downstairs ard 3
n eventually went home at 430
hahahah














sunday after class
cindy, yand n i went for ice cube at thomson
i think they shld seriously considered giving me some membership la
i'm going there at least once in a week or 2 times in a week la
until i think the waiter knows me le

lol
