Food & Photo Blog: Yongjia's 21st?
On why the question mark, I dunno whether it's his 21st or 22nd birthday as he told the two of us different stories. I thought only girls are more wary of revealing their ages. Guys! tsk. Btw, Waraku Dining at the Starhub Centre has shifted to The Heerens, at level 5, which is also known as Attitude Dining, where there's numerous restaurants.
Because I was very hunger while waiting for him, the friend and I had a consensus to order starters. He reached promptly when the food was served.
Hotate Butter
Love the Japanese shroooms! Very fresh, very al dente and very well-seasoned. Sadly, the portion of the shrooms werent enough for me. As for the scallops, it was buttery and no doubt, sinful.
Beef Kaminabe
This was the healthier choice as compared to the other two mains ordered. However, the complaints were that it was not really filling and it's average and steam rice doesnt come with the paperpot. You gotta order a bowl of rice sepeartely. Not a star order.
Katsu Curry
Chicken Terriyaki Curry
Since Waraku's currently having a Japanese Curry Fair which has MANGO flavour, we decided to order that. Yet, disappointingly, the curry was kinda spicy from the normal Japanese ones and no tweeny bits of mango could be tasted. And apparently, the katsu looked more appealing and in fact, tasted more yummylicious than the terriyaki chicken, whose meat was kinda tough. Not recommended. Try their other curry specialities from the menu.
We met up initially as it was quite awhile since we had met up. Upon knowing his grand birthday is around the corner, we decided to surprise him with a cake. Though I couldnt see his shellshocked expression, I think he's very embarassed when we brought the cake out and lighted a candle on it.
We had a stroll to Plaza Singapura for movies. We caught Connected, a chinese film directed by Benny Chan - 'A single father receives a sudden distress call from a stranger. She claims that she and her young daughter are kidnapped by brutal gangsters and begs him to save them. Caught in a difficult situation on whether to rescue this unknown person, his instincts tell him that he may just be the only thing standing between them and a painful death so he decides to help'
This show has a very tight story-line, action packed and thriling at the start which kinda made me jump out of the seat =/ Storyline and progress was not that bad. There's always hope and good people around us and humours added at the right place to ease the suspense. Recommended.
- End
Happy Children's Day too to those who are still young at hearts!
To my Malay friends, Happy Hari Raya Puasa!
And to all, happy public holidays!
Lastly, happy 21st, my Shanghai friend, Toh Pyu!!!!
I like my dimples. lol
