15/02/08 - Out With Li Ming

| | TrackBacks (0)

Met up with Li Ming last Friday for dinner. As it was a little too early for dinner, we decided to have dessert while waiting for the restaurants to open. Ate at Azabu Sabo and although the size of the store was really small, they had 3 of this damn expensive-looking lights in it. Dondake~


As usual, I had shiratama+azuki+ice-cream whereas Li Ming ordered this baked sweet potato topped with sesame sauce and ice-cream. I should really be more adventurous next time and try some other thing than shiratama and azuki.


Most of the Japanese restaurants were still closed after we finished the dessert so instead, we went to eat Spanish food. Whee~ My first time eating Spanish food! Great view and nice river breeze but I cant remember the name of the place we ate at. All I know that it's in Clarke Quay. Haha.


Not going to write the food names in Spanish because I obviously do not know how to do so. Anyway, this is a sausage dish. Damn good and quite a bit for 2 people.


Fried potatoes with red and green capsicums. The potatoes and capsicums were good but I didnt think that they blended well with each other.


Meatballs! Soft and very tomato-ish~


Sauteed tomatoes or something. A bit cold but wonderful at the same time.


Tomato and aubergine with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top of it. Had a totally different image in my head when I ordered this but it tasted good anyway. Would've been better if there were more cheese though. :D

Bought sesame daifuku and cha-dango from Central after dinner. Waaa~ I love wagashi~!

27/01/08 - SB3 Outing

It's 2:30am now and I cant sleep so I've decided to blog. :D

On the 27th of last month, SB3 had a little outing for Bjorn's farewell. Went to Sakae Teppanyaki at Bugis for dinner. First time there for most of us. The place was really pretty and the chef for our table was humourous.


Cooking for 8 people all at once is no easy task and in addition to that, he has to make sure that what he cooks turn out delicious. That is seriously damn difficult. I know that I cant do that because I cant even cook myself a proper meal in the first place. If I ever need to cook for 8 people, I'm sure that they will all come down with food poisoning or something.


Cooking in progress.


(Top Left) The nice salad dressed with a tangy sauce. Since it was so long ago, I cant really remember how the salad tasted exactly but I remember that the sauce was good.
(Top Right) Scallops. Not a big fan of scallops though.
(Bottom Left) The oh-my-freaking-god delicious salmon. I basically chewed like at least times for each mouthful so as to savour it slowly. Yummy~
(Bottom Right) I'm not sure if this is the actual way of making chawanmushi but it was the first time that I saw someone make it like that. So interesting! Then again, the chawanmushi was not for me so I dont know how it tasted like.


(Top Left) Chicken. Hmmn, not a big fan of chicken but cant deny that it was good.
(Top Right) Tofu. Didnt really like this dish. Or rather, didnt really like the sauce that they poured over the tofu.
(Bottom Left) Assorted mushrooms! Like the salmon, I chewed the mushrooms for damn long. Not because the mushrooms were uncooked but because they were so...mushroomy. Yes, I dont make any sense.

After dinner, we walked across Bugis Junction to this small dessert shop called 'Ji De Lai'. Gossiped/Talked while we ate dessert. We left around 9.30pm and walked Kym to Bugis Junction before proceeding to Lisa's house to play mahjong/watch soccer/play Wii.


Saw this couple on the bus where the lady rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder and so Bjorn and Tommie decided to mimic them. The effect didnt turn out right. :D

Stayed at Lisa's house till 1+. Tried to get my mother to come pick me up before that but considering that my mother's a direction-idiot, she told me to take a taxi as she didnt know how to get there. Since it was after midnight, I had to pay the freaking 50% midnight surcharge. My heart was like palpipating damn fast because I was scared that I might not have enough money to pay the driver. Luckily there's something called credit card. :D

27 Dresses

Watched 27 Dresses with Eileen yesterday. The movie was quite interesting and funny. Worth the price that I paid for, considering that I watched it on a weekend. :D

Walked around Orchard after dinner. While in Wheelock Place, we came across this picture...This picture of my TS1101E lecturer Dr. KK Seet. Damn scary can! Seeing your lecturer's face on a non-school day.


We also went to Isetan to look at the freaking expensive strawberries and melons. Comtemplated buying those strawberries because Japanese strawberries are like so delicious but finally decided that it was just not worth it. I'm a damn poor student. Anyone wants to donate money to me? Instead, I bought my favourite...dango~!!! Seeing that there was only 2 packets left and being the kiasu Singaporean that I am, I quickly took one packet of the shelf and rushed to the payment counter. While digging through my wallet for money, I caught sight of the expiry date printed on the packet.


Eh? 04.01.08? Isnt that like 1st of January (following the day/month/year format)? Since it was the 2nd of February, the dango must either be damn bad or they printed 01(Jan) instead of 02(Feb). Just in case, I asked the cashier if there's any mistake on the expiry date label. She peered at the label, thought of it for a while and told me that it should be okay because they just displayed the dango out today. Still, they can just tell me that they printed the label wrongly...I mean, what's wrong with admitting their mistake? She then asked her colleague next to her and her colleague told her that the expiry date was 1st of April, based on the month/day/year format. I was stunned...since when in supermarkets did we use the month/day/year format?

Nosy parker customer A then intruded into our conversation and said that in Japan(because we were in the Japanese supermarket, Isetan), the month is written first. My foot la...in Japan, normally it's written in the year/month/day format. Even if they were correct, I dont think that you can store dango for like 2 months! In Japan, the dango that are sold in the supermarkets expires in like 2-3 days...not months. Anyway, I still think that I'm correct, in the sense that they typed the label wrongly. :D

Why am I writing this anyway?!!! -.-
