FOOD FOOD FOODDD !!!!!!

out with colleagues on wed for dinner. initial plan was steamboating at crystal jade, but tt did not take place as the menu is not tt fanstastic given the price tt we have to pay. was already on the way to seoul garden @ bugis when i suggested this jap buffet restuarant at chinatown. been wanting to try all along as the restauarant looks good and the food looks good too. and so, we went ahead.

*

*
there'r 2 kinds of buffet - bbq or sushi. real disappointed tt it's not all in 1. anyway, we went ahead with the bbq buffet.

*

*
the food variety is not that great though there r expensive stuff - scallops, mackeral fish, sashimo fish, pork, beef, chix wings, veg, ice cream, miso, rice.. tt's abt all i tink. but the mackeral fish, it comes in 1 whole piece. unlimited supply. we ate 3 whole fishes in all. but somehow, the fish did not taste as good as those that i ate outside. think it's really not easy to bbq one whole fish by ourselves. the surface too burnt while the inside is not tt cooked. urgh ~
*

*
each person cost abt $21. i wont really recommend the place cuz the variety is really too little and the food a little too salty. if lemme choose again, i will go for seoul garden even though the ambience here is much better.

another buffet restaurant but this one is highly recommeded - rajah inn. i think there's a sister brand - hotpot culture.
*

*
this restaurant is one of the most frequently visited restaurants of me and hubb. we go there almost once every month. each person abt $25 but the variety of food is well worth the money. besides the food for steamboating, they also serve cooked food. juz chicken alone they already have a few kinds - sambal chix, spicy chix, fried chix wings etc etc.. comes in small portion, no need to worry cannot finish or too full to try other stuff.

*

*
for dessert, they serve fondue!

yummilicious!!! real value for money. in the 1st few visits, we always go for the ala carte. u get to choose b/w the few sets - beef set, chix set, pork set or seafood set - then wadever extra that u wanna order, u gotta pay. after that the staff recommeded us the buffet and we realised how silly we were to go for the ala carte! the price is slightly higher, but the food that we get is soo much more! and since then, we only go for buffet. and each has one small pot, no worries abt hygiene prob if ur eating with pple not tt close. and the food r served by staff, u dont have to move and pick food urself.. shiok ~ 2 thumbs up, highly recommeded. :)

yesterday was out with hubb to orchard and we ate at the food court at PS. din know the foodcourt nowadays also serve 'restuarant' food. at work most of the times will eat at coffeeshops or fastfood restaurants. when outside, mainly will go for restaurant food to pamper myself. so seldom eat at foodcourt..

*
look at my salmon sukiyaki from the foodcourt. looks great yea?

*

*

nowadays food at foodcourts also not tt cheap.. looks like the foodcourts are going more and more upstream. luckily there are many coffeshops around workplace.. i still get to eat relatively cheap food :)

*

and maybe tat's why, when im out with hubb or frens or colleagues, i will always end up in restuarants. esp with hubb. when we meet, we always head for restuarants. looking thru my credit card bills, a large portion is made up by restuarants. sometime i feel guilty abt it.. if eating a plate of $3 chix rice can fill up my stomach, y should i go for something that is $15? nowadays, almost every meal that we eat, it costs >$30. juz 2 person, do we need to spend so much on food? y cant we juz eat at coffeshops and keep it below $10????

*

but then again, mon to fri, im already eating coffeeshops food. im working hard, it's juz natural that i want to eat things that i want to eat right????? i dont buy expensive clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelleries.. so y cant i juz eat expensive food? afterall, i always believe 吃是吃进自己的肚子.... im always more willing to spend on food than on anything else.

*
ahh, im juz finding excuses for myself. the way i eat is not helping me save $$$.. im such a spendthrift!!!!!!! or maybe deep down, im juz a miserable miser. if im not a miser, y would i think im a spendthrift???? shit... this is getting sooooo ironic!! and im getting confused myself!!!!!!
*

anyway, i juz know i got many many things that i want to buy... but i juz 舍不得花那些钱 .... 天呀 !!! 我真的好矛盾噢 !!!! 我不喜欢我这种扭捏和婆妈!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*

anyway, one last pic....

*

*
i kenna beaten up.... ahh.. something to remind me wad i've told myself... i think i really do have the tendency to self-destruct. that also explains y there r so many holes on my ear. gosh... am i going mad? do i need to see a shrink soon? arrrrrhhh ~~~~~
