Saaaturday Surprise

Well its not really a suprise. (I'm drinking my fav beer now, 'Coopers' pale ale, as I blog

Anyway I spent the afternoon at my grandma's watching dvds with my cousin shaun, with my grandma nagging at me about how easy army is nowaday.. etc etc, whatever.

This week was shopping weekend, so me, mom and sis went down to central to shop and makan. We wanted to go to Sakae (pronounce as SAR-KAI-E, NOT SAR-KAY) = haha Stupid Singaporeans and their half past 6 pronounciation. But the bloody queue was so bloody hell long, that we went to ajisen instead.

Well the food wasn't bad it was ok-so-so. The ramen noodles was nice (Volcano ramen + soft shell crab, Sashimi, Uni... eel thingy + Ice lemon tea), but the soup wasn't. I tried my sis's soup (Something cha-su ramen) and i realised, it all tasted the same, kinda salty salty and lacking in flavour. And my Volcano ramen, erm it wasn't as spicy as i thought.

Best was the side dish platter that came in a nice Japanese styled lunch-box layout. Oh.. the Sashimi was heavenly, i had 4 slices of maguro (tuna) to myself, it tasted so good. I hate to see people eating sashimi with generous amount of soy sauce and wasabi, kinda missing out the natural sweetness of the fish itself, when your nasal is suffering from the aftermath of wasabi over-dosage.

(Sorry no pictures haha, forgot my camera!)

Next best was the soft shell crab, it was deep fried till golden yellow and i was expecting cooking oil to be gushing out from the first bite but no. The outside was crunchy while the insides were soft, succulent juicy bits of the crab itself.

Last but not least was the unri bla bla bla eel meat. It was my least favourite though my sis and mom liked it so much that they ordered a side dish full of it. It was pretty ok though, a little salty due to the black sauce but i guessed it was to cover the fishy smell the eel had.

Total bill = $54++ 2.5 pax cos mom just went around koping our food when we couldn't finish.

Food- *** Portion- ***** Service- ****

Next was onto shopping for my army stuff, my sis stuff, her perfume and makeup etc etc.. and oh i bought 3 bottles of Coopers pale ale, my favourite beer since 2002 when i first drank it a my cousin in law house, in Adelaide. Shall post a photo post of the stuff im bringing in to camp soon.

Cheers!
