Oops. almost over liao. lol. but nvm, overseas they're still celebrating it! hehe and quite frankly, everyday can be valentine's day as long as you and your special someone are in love =)
was reading this site abt the latest dirt on edc. jeez! all the hoo-hah started way back in 30th jan and is still ongoing sia~ (note: u can find the latest "news" there. reliability of info? i dunno man, you decide.)
met love for lunch today at clementi central at abt 1plus. went to rent dvds. gah. i dunno why i like to self-sabotage. -_-" *grumbles* got test & reflection paper nxt week. am so going to die. anyway, ah bu wanted to watch edward scissorhands. silly boy. super old show already still want to watch. but he complained he nv finished watching it. i dun wan to watch cos it's an agonizing show. reminds me of the "trauma" i went thru after watching it was a kid. lol. but anyway they remade it, the quality of the show was fantastic (what am i saying, it's dvd!) but compared to when i watched it on tv as a kid (grainy, lousy, tv quality). love noticed that the bright colors used in the movie wasn't typical of tim burton's usual black-white style but well, if i was thinking if u compare it to charlie & the chocolate factory, it's almost the similar style already.
love skipped his 4-6pm lecture so that we could go earlier to the place he was supposed to bring me and surprise me with on v-day. lol. kept guessing where he wanted to bring me. i told him if he brought me to the hawker centre, im not going to speak to him for 1 week. hahahah! before we left my place for the "surprise", he asked me what i felt like eating. i immediately replied what came to mind - jap food. :x then he said okay let's go waraku. dotdot. =\ anyway i followed love blindly (hoho, sounds so weird - love is blind ;x ) and we reached raffles city. headed to basement 1. passed by the florist, i was about to tease ah bu but he was faster. He asked why i didn't buy flowers for him. My dear, dun think you act cute and 恶人先告状, i will let u off so easily. *evil laugh* Anyway, he brought me to the front of the place. from the decoration i immediately concluded - oh my goodness! japanese food! then i remembered my mom mentioning about this new place at raffles city that is like marche style but serves japanese food. i was totally estatic! ^_^ the place is called shokudo and the queue is insane. LOL. seriously insane i.e. WAY longer than the queue for the donut factory at the same place. oh well, we joined the queue anyway.
JUST when it got to our turn, they had full house and we had to wait alittle for seats. then when there was, they told us to go in. See, the thing is, i detest this part of the system. The place does a headcount for the people who go in, but they do NOT help you find seats. You have to find your own. So let's say if i decide go in with 2 people and i choose to reserve a 4 seat area, i'd be a inconsiderate moron who deprives 2 other people of their seats. And that exactly what happened. Had a tough time finding seats and i got more and more impatient and peeved already. Please man. If there are no avaiable seats, then dun freaking let people in! or do something about the system, is really wth! in the end, one of the staff found seats for us. thankfully.
pictures!
Checkmate!
First up, sashimi! (reasonably priced, NICE!!!! salmon was oh-yum! the tako was o.O surprisingly fresh & crunchy. didn't like the maguro. megajiki was nice too.)
Assorted tempura - Ah bu felt that it was overpriced. Taste wise, nice too =p
Plain rosti - Japanese style. okay. Ah bu didn't like it cos he prefers the marche one. I liked it! haha~
Omu rice with hamburg. The rice not nice (too nua for our liking), hamburg too dry but taste wise is not bad, gt the smoky taste. (yes, yes i know it has holes. cos we took a few bites happily and forgot to take picture before eating. you see, we waited freaking long for this one. Becos the guy cooking the omu rice has attitude problem. Si Ah Tiong. :X He really got an attitude. dunno what is wrong with him. He refuses to serve the LONG QUEUE of customers at his station by NOT taking their orders and NOT giving them their food and just continue frying sunny-side ups in the manner as though he's preparing some gourmet dish. Everyone who goes to his station to order gets very pissed. Even those who are working together with him also gets the same treatment i.e. he keeps asking the guy at the grill (who is busy grilling all the meats,chicken, hamburgs, sausage) whether the chicken for his dishes are ready. But guess what? Those meats that he had requested hor, the guy at the grill already FINISHED grilling LONG AGO and placed it at the table behind him. The crazy guy at the omu rice station just REFUSES to take it and serve his customers. I dunno how they tolerate him man.
Teppanyaki assorted mushrooms. Eh. Not fantastic. =(
Iced Cranberry Vinegar. Lol. This was one exotic drink. the vinegar and cranberry combi is just sour ftw! hahah~
For dessert,
Waffles with ice cream! Heh heh. Some clever boy read my mind and bought for me the exact flavour of ice cream i had in mind =p Oh, tastewise, you'd be better off eating the one at gelare's on tuesdays. *wink*
Overall, the food is generally okay/not bad and there's ALOT of variety. We'll definitely visit again cos ah bu wants to eat his mushroom hamburger, i want to eat my garlic fried rice and grilled salmon belly ;x Price wise....gah. i feel it's abit on the chor side. Eat abit nia but expensive ._. Thank you ah bu for pampering me! :O
