oh ya, i forgot to say.

i went with my dad to eat at kuriya penthouse after he saw a good review for it in the business times. (side note: there's a kuriya in VIVO, but it's just kuriya, it serves GRILLED jap food. it's REALLY REALLY NICE. so go on, visit kuriya in vivo! it's damnnnnnn best.)

it wasn't worth the *** bucks, just for the TWO of us. -.-

rly rly not worth it. so the point of this post is to tell you, it's not that amayjing.

i mean. raw fish is raw fish, everyone in singapore gets their raw fish from the same supplier (cause we got none of our own), and like, no cooking skills required. so honestly, raw fish tastes the same everywhere. it just depends on the grade of fish they choose to buy. so at kuriya penthouse, their toro was VERY nicely marbled. but then that just means more fat so i'm not sure if i'm into that haha. i like the taste of raw FISH man, who cares about raw FAT right haha. i VANT TO TASTE DE BUHLAAADD!!! *dracula tone*
like imagine dracula choking on tuna fat. kk that was unnecessary, apologies (:

the chef was SUPER friendly though, good service.

don't get me wrong, the food was GREAT! just not ***-bucks-great.


we (or rather, my dad) were paying like 70 bucks for JUST the clam soup -.- it was damn nice, but not worth 70 bucks.


so GREAT food, but too overpriced.


honestly, for this kind of price, a better place to feast on jap food would be NOGAWA. it's in that building, the meridien(?) the one at the bus stop just before dhoby. chef nogawa left for japan to start his own restaurant in ginza though :'( he is so legendary, that like when he offered me a cherry tomato dipped in sea salt, i ATE it all in ONE mouthful, i just popped it in, even though i HATE tomatoes. i'm sure the food there is still great even though he's not there anymore (i put "^^", but then i realised there's no appropriate emoticon for this kind of happy-but-wistful-sad-still happy kind of sentence lol)


BUT BUT BUT. for cooked jap food, i say head to....kk i won't tell you, cause like, wait that place gets overrun. NO LA no one reads my blog anyway, other than Vicki and George. so i'll tell you. for relatively cheap DAMN DELICIOUS jap food, GO TO CUPPAGE PLAZA. that place is FILLED with jap places to eat and make merry, it's always filled with japs. so you know the restaurants serve authentic food. always call ahead to make bookings though. cause ALL the restaurants are packed during meal times. and the food there is RELATIVELY cheap (((:



no, i'm not a food snob, i love sakae sushi also! my dad has high standards, but i don't ((: i love all kinds of food man! except pastamania. and that's saying a lot, considering i even like the microwave-able instant pasta from 7-11.

right now i'm eating homemade curry and chapatti(sp). (i told you i lead a very sedentary lifestyle, i'm freaking eating and BLOGGING at the same time OMFG LOL) my dad makes it all the time cause i lurveee it. his curry is like coconut milk-free, so it's very diet-friendly ^^ i know, diet friendly and curry just dont go tgt right? haha. but yeah. so i don't eat out at crazy places all the time. i only go out like once a week, it's my LIMIT haha. the rest of the time, i'm with my dad, baking, or like. eating what he cooks. which is always always delicious (:

idk how i'll survive w/out his meals when i go overseas, here in sg, all 3 meals are like provided at regular intervals, by my dad. i don't even have to wash the dishes here. gahhhhhh so panicky now.

and i'll be so deprived of AUTHENTIC local food when i'm there :'(


yes, i know that i SEEM like the wild/crazy/constantly partying type. but no, i'm actually a closet loser. kk you know what, i AM a loser. and i'm happy being one. i just like being at home and spending time with my family. yes, i know i'm a non-ugly teenage (sigh i wont be "teenage" much longer) girl with enough friends to fill my calendar with. but i don't like it. at first i was like OMG so many new friends yay me! and i would always go out. but then like. i started to feel like i was doing it cause i wanted to be able to say yay i've got so many friends. could i really GENUINELY GENUINELY be THERE as a SOLID ROCK OF LOVE AND CARE for ALL of them? no. no one has the time or energy to be everyone's best friend. and if there's one thing i HATE, it's the hi-bye friend. i dont even understand why that category exists. i say hi and bye to you. but we're in no way, real friends. so shouldn't we just be like, on cordial terms? once you stick the word FRIEND there, there's an obligation, a responsibility on our part to fulfill that role and be nice. but so many hi-bye friends bitch about each other, i'm sure everyone's been through it and DONE it, don't lie. even if you never actively bitched, did you ever once say "hey, aren't you her friend? why are you bitching?" if you didn't, like how i don't, then yeah we're lousy friends. so why call ourselves a FRIEND to that person? we don't deserve it. so i just wanna be friends with people i care about, because honestly if i'm keeping up with certain people for the sake of having more people to hang with, i feel like i'm wasting their time and i have no right to call myself friend. because i wouldn't care about them the way i would a best friend. and if i can't be there for them, i really should not expect them to be there for me or hang out with me. so no, i steer clear of most people. i only hang out with some people whom i think i deserve to hang out with.

do i make sense?
