going japanese.

i love japanese food. just love it to the max! haha, it’s always in our options of “what to eat when we want to spoil ourselves”. there’s the usual sushi teh when we don’t have the luxury of time which is alright, it still satisfies our cravings. 

but when we have some time and feeling abit richer, the ramen at tampopo (some black pig spicy ramen) and tonkichi really kicks some ass. anyone with any other cool japanese outlets to recommend? :P

settled in the coast

some time back, we headed to coastal settlement for supper after seeing moy instagram the place saying that it was in the east. and then i realized i passed it a few times but never really thought it was already open. 

i’m supposing it’s prettier in the day cause you can take nicer pictures and see more stuff. i’m not a huge fan of the place, i think cafes-coffee-deco are a very personal preference kind of thing though ;) but the truffle fries were yummy and according to ken he said the milkshake was really good (but we didn’t get to try cause he had cough haha). it was a fun novel experience checking out all the insane vintage collections that lined the walls.

cheese and toast

my cooking style is very practical…it goes something like “ok, i need carbo, veggies and taste (go!)”. it’s usually mixed in some kind of soup base just so everything’s in one pot and i use the pot as a bowl. so when i suddenly get inspired to cook something special, it’s usually quite short burst.

this was one of the days when i wanted to head to a favourite cafe for a sandwich, coffee and read a book but was turned off by the possibility of it being crowded so i shopped my own ingredients instead and ate at home <3 enjoyed it very much!

adventure with sis (part one)

outingwithsis-6outingwithsis-7outingwithsis-8outingwithsis-9outingwithsis-10

i love “adventure” nights with my sister. the first one was really fun but i didn’t take much pictures so this time i spammed. yes, it’s a three part adventure too! hee. we started out first at THE PLAIN and were the last customers of the day. i love this place, i wish i’d have the chance to use this place as a studio for a portrait session ;D

i love the coffee and the poached eggs! i LOOOVVVEEE eggs :D hee after coffee we walked around this place that i can’t remember and walked towards chinatown to find dinner (yup coffee first? i know haha cause THE PLAIN closes at 7pm). and at chinatown, that’s part two of our adventure ;)

## ahhh!! just wanted to say thank God :D my laptop a bit something wrong already. has problem reading external hard drives like CDs or thumbdrive stuff. prayed over my laptop (yes, i know it sounds weird lol) and it worked!! phew…not sure what the problem is. hate having to consider buying something new…hope not, fingers crossed.

work to play

from the studio, we dressed up and headed out to have dinner together. it was during the time i was feeling terribly unwell. coughing and a throbbing headache. so uncomfortable that i was talking with a slur and trying to move slowly so that my headache won’t work up which resulted in a slow floating motion haha and thus somehow managing to convince the girls for a while that i got “drunk” from my cider apple drink thingy. 

which reminds me of a time in university where i was in a project group with i think 6 guys and me the only girl and after lunch they wanted to head to the school bar for a drink. in the afternoon? haha, they told me it’s the best time. when i was there, i ordered some super low alcoholic drink and they looked at me…looked at my bottle…looked at me…and said “this one i drink in secondary school one.” hahaha

but let’s not side track, i absolutely loved the buffalo chicken wings and the pizza!!

yum yum :D
