Nihongo Kurasu Banzai!

Since my sensei went overseas this week, our class took the opportunity to have dinner together and as you could guess, a Japanese restaurant. Waraku @ Starhub centre was the place and 5 out of 9 of us could make it. Too bad for the other 4! :P

Some choice pics and the link to the rest of the album below~ Enjoy!

Kuriya~

This post is also quite late, considering I went to Kuriya on tuesday.. Have this bad habit on updating my blog late these days... Oops.. But better late than never!

Supposed to meet wh, ash and ml for dinner on tuesday but wh was still down with fever and then there were 3. We met at Raffles City for dinner and something phenomenonal happened. I met 7 friends there in the space of 40 mins while waiting for ash and ml to come. :O

When ash and ml came, we were off to Kuriya at basement 1. Kuriya means kitchen in Japanese actually. It's been a long time since I went to Kuriya cos

1. hardly go to raffles city nowadays.
2. Kuriya is damn expensive.
3. Usually would go for my favourite ramen shops rather than a Japanese restuarant. ;)

We were settled down quickly and spent quite a long time checking out the place before deciding what to have for dinner. Nice posh interior with somehow not-so-bright lighting. When we entered, we were greeted by a collection of fresh fish which we could choose to have half grilled and half in sashimi.Tempted to try but it was a tad too expensive. Note to self: Shall try it next time. I decided on the Sansai Tempura Soba set which contained chilled soba noodles with some vegetable tempura on the side. ash ordered Sansai Soba that contained oh-so-juicy looking mushroom and I heard the soup was great from both ash and ml! ml ordered the tempura soba seiro with prawn tempura on top of the vegetable tempura.


Other stuff we ordered were the Soba Tea (tea made from buckwheat leaves, which tasted quite refreshing), assorted tempura = salmon, tuna (yes!), swordfish, soft shell crab handroll for ml, and icecream for dessert. Total damage: $140 out of which 60 bucks are mine! hah~


Enough with words. Let the pictures do the talking~
