SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE THIS

Tumbling

~weeeee.........~

ahren playing on the bed

Nail that big toe!

hello once again on nail art!

here's my new fave! - lace!!! and so very lolita gothic. Black and white, very basic colours but very powerful when it come ornamentation.

and the best bit, it's really easy cos i bought lace "stick ons".

Just choose a shiny pink base (pink is always my shade...giggles)

Wait for it to dry, add a coat of protective nail enamel.

Afterwhich u are all set to stick your lace on!!! u can do it like mine, near the nail edge or you can do it slanted which i have seen them in jap magazines...with lots of crystals...really "wah wah" effect... but this time i decided to go simple...

so have fun!

Shokudo@Raffles City

Shokudo! a new japanese concept dining, exactly like marches! But it's japanese.

There's quite a wide variety of food here like sushi, japanese bento sets, rice bowls, gyoza, miso soup and even japanese desserts like their macha float.

For those wanting something other then japanese, hey hey! there's pizza, spaghetti, pasta, rosti and lots of BBQ meat on skewers! Interesting yah!

Service:

The service was attentive. Probably we were early that day so there weren't many diners to serve. They passed us each a card to order our food and a wooden block to leave on our table to indicate that the table was taken.

Decor:

Interestingly enough. Japanese paper lanterns, and geisha paintings hung on the wall. Decent tables and chairs with enough walkway along the different stalls. Each part of the restaurant had some theme to it. Not bad!

okay ,let's talk about the food.

We had the grilled chicken in teriyaki sauce ricebowl. - OK, not bad, edible.

Mine was the seafood pizza - $8.80 OK once more, very thin and crisp. The chef didnt give me enuff fish flakes though. my sotongs were abit too few too....and the cheese wasn't like pizzahut's kind..those that stretches on forever...you know what i mean.

Had to wait about 15-20mins though. But it was a hot favourite among kids.

Gyoza - not too bad. But again you have to wait...so better to walk around and recce the place once more.... think it was like $5 for 4?

Finally, some BBQ skewers!!! THis one was clearly the winner of the lot. Nicely done but again have to wait.

Patience pays.

we are about to go in now.....

eh, thot it was japanese market place??? not so jap afterall!

pizzas that come in wooden flat pans...and top with fish flakes.

Japanese concept decor!

me and my big pizza...but thin...hehe so doesnt really fill the stomach afterall.

so i had to order extra side dishes...and here's my gyoza! opps, forgot to take photo before i ate...so one gyoza is missing from the picture.. hahah it's already in my tumtum. *embarassed*

Again, not too shiok after my gyozas and there's so many to try!!! So we had BBQ mushrooms, and asparagus wrapped with bacon! This one was good!

isnt' that wonderful?!?!?!
*shrieks*




The size of the sale items were generally ok, i mean u cant expect much in a small ballroom space. Plus it was way way better than the previous CLUB21 sale which i went last week. That was totally a waste of time. So pathetic! *cry out loud*

Anyway, back to the Pedder Sale....there were enough shoes, bags, sunnies to choose from. Plus the sales people were very friendly and so were the shoppers!!!! can u believe that???
Usually women at a sale are quite vicious and rather "grabby". Today's ones were like nice.

2 actually appoached me to tell me that the shoe which i was holding on, didnt have sizes in xxxx.. so sweet of them rite??? hehe, but little me here has big feet!!!! muahahhaa....they couldnt find sz 35, 36...but these feet of mine needs a size 7 or 8!!!!So i happily held onto the shoes....*smug*

Wj almost bought a marc jacobs bag for me...but i pulled him away. I still think it's still abit pricey and anyway it was so heavy without anything in the bag!



There was this bunch of girls. (all the time....) they actually hoarded so so sooooooo many shoes and bags! Trying and trying infront of the mirror. Deciding what to buy. They are really loaded with money...too much i think. One bag was like afew thousand dollars and even with it half price. It's still a 4 figure sum. And they weren't buying one each for themselves. They were like grabbing 4-5 per arm...
Oh wells, it better not to compare. Some people are born with a silver..ah hem, gold spoon in their mouths.

Some have a golden tortoise to back them in their shopping. *bleah*

i'll just use my hard earn moolah to pay off my shoe fetish.

After shopping, we went for a tete-a-tete session at Shokudo, which i will blog in later time, cos now it's time for tea again!

tata!

Aji Tei@Takashimaya Basement

*click on photo to zoom!

Hi all,

lately i went down to takashimaya's basement for a walk, after some window shopping. And i went to Aji Tei for some bites and dessert.

I'm sure for those who frequent here would know that usually at dinner time, there will be a snaking queue forming from the entrance to all the way back. Usually this is the time when i will stare at the colourful plastic displays of their mouth-watering desserts and think to myself "when will i get to eat those?" lines...repeating thru my little brain.

today is the day then!

i went in with mr goh. it's our virgin visit here! And according to some recommendations by friends, we tried the chicken mentai and tofu mentai.

They come in small hotplates and just nice for one. The tofu mentai has this pink hue together with the cheese topping. Later i found out that this pink hue is a fish roe! It's abit gooey, but the rubbery cheese makes a terrific contrast combi with the soft tofu. I lurve this dish!

The chicken mentai was nothing special, taste like your normal "katsu don" without rice. Little oil. Egg and onions.Quite healthy.

Next the desserts:

The sales rap recommended the Mango Anmitsu ($6.80).

For those who are just as clueless like me...Anmitsu is a traditional Japanese dessert that has been popular for decades. It is made of small cubes of agar jelly, a white translucent jelly made from red algae or seaweed. The agar is dissolved with water or fruit juice to make the jelly and it's usually served with azuki bean paste or anko and a variety of fruits. In this case it was mango. In ours, we found a few kinds of jelly. One was quite chewy, liken to those found in bubble teas. Another was like nata de coco but it wasn't sweet. And another was really soft! which was my fave!

Macha Parfait ($7.80):

This one is GOOD! the macha ice cream was just nice, wasnt too strong or light. The cornflakes went so well with the cream too! And topped with peach slices and macha warabi mochi, macha jelly and a very traditional sugar wafer! LURVE IT!!!!

*okie, prices vary cos i have a short term memory!
