An Evening with my Bestie
It's always great catching up with Jo-my bestie!
With the both of us having entered the working world, we haven't been meeting up as often as we would like too. Yesterday evening was an exception.
Jo suggested that we try out this new Jap eatery @ Raffles City - Shokudo Japanese Food Bazzar. Honestly after having had dinner there, nothing that fantastic. Decent and enjoyable, but nothing special to rave about. If you haven't heard about it, think Marche - Jap style.
You pretty much walk into the place, get issued cards where food credit is put on for payment later. Then you have little food booths lined up around the place where you get to take your pick and the dish prepared infront of you. The place boast to have more then 230 food items available on its menu. They even placed those once popular neoprint booths within its premises for customers to take super kawaii shots! Can't believe I used to take those back in lower secondary school days! I've found a better way now... cam whoring with my own lovely cannon ixus camera! Hah!
 Anyway, back to Shokudo. The place even sells rosti (Marche's signature grated potato pancake dish), albeit topped with seaweed powder. We had a serving of that, but still cannot compare anywhere close to the orginal ones from Marche! Found it a little too buttery and the potatoes just don't seem to have that fresh taste you get from those served in Marche. There's a pretty extensive spread of Jap food ranging from your traditional sushi and tempura sets, udon, ramen, tempayaki to Jap-infused western food such a BBQ eel pizza and mentaiko (cod roe) pasta. Also available are western-food dishes with a jap twist to it, like burgers with chips and miso-flavoured beef patty. Price wise, slightly above food court prices, averaging about $8 for a main course. They even have Japanese Gelato ice-cream apparently imported all the way from Japan!

On the whole it was ok by my standards. I think the company of my friend made up for the rest of it. Heehee. Following that was dessert time.. for a change we decided to settle down in J.co cafe. Yup, the popular donut haunt in Raffles. They upgraded man... now they alongside their counter of popular yummy donuts they've set up a cafe serving up coffee/tea. Jo had an ice chocolate while I had myself a good ol' hot cup of cafe latte! They even gave a complimentary frosted donut! Yum! Totally satisfied that evening! Of coz the catching up with my good ol' friend was way better.  So sweet this Jo, she gave me a shocking pink Gerbera flower just as a gift and a pretty belt which apparently was my super belated Christmas present which she has yet to pass to me! Thanks! Love the flower... so bright and cheerful. Really made my day!
