Was looking forward to the weekends (after a few depressing days at work)!
Thank goodness Ling managed to join us despite her having to mug for her tests and projects...
Otherwise, like what Kang said, we can't try more variety at Shokudo!

Met them in town cuz I needed to get my photos printed (a huge stack of 200 pieces)
We then walked from Far East to PS (to get Kang's manga) and realised that in Ling's eyes...
Kang and I were worth only 5% each...
*hurt*
LOL
Blah! No wonder you didn't get your vest! =X

Ok... On to Shokudo...

The Japanese food bazaar was a place much raved about in magazines, online forums etc etc..
So we had to try!!

Shokudo is very Marche-like...
Well, the concept, that is.

Something random: We didn't take neoprints!!! >_<
Ok, they had these neoprint machines inside which made the place more "Ha Re"


There was a long queue even before entering but thank god we didn't have to wait long since the queue moved fast.
The 3 of us sat for awhile and then quickly scrambled to find food!
So exciting! =)

We had...

Omu Rice with grilled chicken (chix was a little dry, the eggs were a little wet and runny, some might think the rice is too mushy but I like!)
Crabstick omelette (was good but it was quite scary looking at the amount of oil they used)
This pasta soup dish (I forgot it's name) Was a little spicy because of the chilli pepper. Pasta had a good texture, was springy!

I've always wanted to try those grilled onigiri (fan tuan) but it doesn't taste that good and definitely wasn't what I expected...
It was just plain and salty...
=/
Gyoza wasn't fantastic...

Red Bean, mochi with green tea ice cream, Apple vinegar, Yuzu Honey Tea
I actually like the green tea ice cream (one of my favourite ice-cream flavour) which Kang thought had too much milk in it...
Yay! So I probably ate a few more mouthfuls for that reason =)
We left our table to get food for umpteen times!
Ok, maybe just around 4 times...

It's either
1) the food was not filling enough
2) we were "gian" to try more stuff
3) we can't see the amount of money we chalked up in the card

We could have left without the last round if not for Kang's approval... (LOL, sounds like our mummy)
So, ya, I had to give up my J Co donuts for Garlic rice (Sakae has better ones), Teppanyaki bean and vege sprouts though we initially agreed to try both... =X
Ok, I shall be gratefully that I didn't take in those extra donut calories =)


I didn't post the other pic which Ling wanted to delete so..
Thank me, Ling!

Fun, fun!
Was great hanging out and catching up with them, takes my mind away from work which was something I really needed to do... =)

Had a good chat after dinner as well and I discovered that Rats can swim!!!
OMG...
Quite disgusting la.. Cuz ya, they are pests!
I freaked out a few times when I heard them (it was a whole bunch of them!!) squeaking (was near the esplanade & Spore River by the way)
And Kang had to imitate the squeaks and I swear I thought those were real... -_-"'
That's why I accidentally gave the poor girl a scratch on her elbow or arm...
Lalalalala

Looking forward to our next outing, please decide soon and let me know!
=D
My weekly motivation!
