Ok actually i have sth more important to announce but i've already planned my entry for today so i'm gonna postpone the other wan to tomorrow (wahahaha the suspense......!)
I tink i can turn this blog into a Food Galore blog hahaha considering the amount of food i consume.......! But den i've also decided to start making resolutions which I MUST COMPLETE AND ACHIEVE starting frm tomorrow onwards so i guess the eating habit is something i must curb.........but den whenever i come across good food i'll announce it here too wahahaha! :)
So we'll start wif the food part 1st........this is gonna be quite a long entry i tink.............
Well me n kee went over to spore yesterday cos he wanted to check out the University of New South Wales (we both enjoyed the campus a lot but we are also looking forward to the new campus come 2009! The design is just WAYYYYYY cool!!!) and later on he brought me to this nice little Jap restaurant at Far East Plaza.........seriously speaking i've only been to Far East Plaza on 1 or 2 occasions onli and dats all........cos i seldom go to Orchard Road aneway......the restaurant is called Nanbantei and its at the highest floor.......Here's the exact add:
NANBANTEI JAPANESE RESTAURANT
14 Scotts Road #05-132,
Far East Plaza, Singapore 228213
Tel: 6733 5666/6738 7470
Hahaha pro leh cos i took a name card frm the restaurant wahahaha....! Ok aneway both of us had this bento set called Obento........it basically comprises of jap white rice being covered in 3 diff ingredients: Seaweed, Shitake mushrooms which was cooked in a sauce and taste heavenly, as well as a stir-fried mince meat thingy which was very flavourful.......i tink the mince meat n the mushrooms were supposed to provide flavour to the rice which wasn't seasoned but just mix everything 2gether n it's PERFECTO!!!!!!!! :)
Next to the rice we have diff yakitori items (yakitori is one of my fav jap food item!!! :P ) They serve 5 to 6 diff items i tink........lemme see.........there was one that resembles meat balls, another thats sth like meat wif spring onion stalks in btw, and my fav wud be the asparagus wrapped in a thin sheet of bacon! I can't rmb the rest but i do noe dat they all taste good!!!!! They basically do it the normal yakitori style: roast it and dip it in a special sauce........but they all taste great!!!! The chef cooks in front of u for all to see and dats sth i like........the place isn't very big and they only serve lunch frm 12 to 2.30 but i'm telling you the Obento really rawks!!! And best of all it comes wif a desert which is red beans wif a tiny little ball in the middle that resembles Tang Yuan........its like a mini mochi w/o filling but the combination goes so well!!!!! That and the fact dat i like red beans hahaha!
The Obento set cost S$12.50............it may seem ex for Ringgit standard but in spore i tink u can consider it cheap cos afterall u're eating in orchard road AND in a well-established Jap restaurant! I can't wait to go bck again!!!!!!!! :)
After dat we had rojak at Far East (i tink it was at Far East......or was it Lucky Plaza......i tink Far East lar......) ermmmmmmm i can't rmb wat the stall was called but i do noe its located in front of this 2nd hand bookstore in which the owner looks a lot like Mr. Bean!!! (for real) Even customers call him Mr. Bean! Well the rojak stall is very small but i must say they serve the best rojak i've had up till now! I haven even eaten anything like it in Msia! Their sauce is very different cos its not thick n coal black like the rest but it's instead light wif a tangy tartness to it! I tink dats cos they add in either lime or lemon juice cos i saw a cup of yellowish fluid on the stall's table.....but i'm telling you it really rawks!!!!! And they roast their tau kuah n you char kuai be4 they add them in.....! They also add sth few ppl will add......Ginger Flower!!!!! The whole combi just rawks my world man!!!!!!!!!
After dat we went to Lucky Plaza cos Kee wanted to intro me Avocado Juice, which is sth i've never even heard of be4 in my life! The 2 restaurants he went told us they're out of it already but luckily as i was withdrawing money frm an ATM he found another restaurant still serving the item!!! And the good news is dat this restaurant had a diff version cos they add in a little chocolate syrup at the bottom n sides of the cup so having the juice 2gether wif the chocolate syrup was HEAVENLY!!!!!!!! The juice is actually very thick cos avocado itself is already so creamy so the whole thing taste a lot like a milk shake but 2gether wif chocolate syrup its just soooooooooo good! Oh by the way all the restaurants serving it are indon restuarants........Meimei is this avocado thingy suppposed to be an Indon delicacy?
Aneway, we head dwn to the new Novena Square later on to check out this new shop called QQ Riceball! I saw it being featured on TV once so i can rmb it but since none of us have tried it be4 we decided to buy 1 each even though at that point of time i was already VERY full hahaha! Basically this riceball thingy is a food concept being brought it frm taiwan........u get to choose diff types of rice (they have 5, ranging frm purple rice to mixed grains to brown rice) and den choose another 5 fillings to be placed in the middile of the rice in which later on they will add more rice to make it into a HUGE riceball..........i chose purple rice and fillings of asparagus, flak fish, spicy meat floss, seaweed and turkey bacon.....the whole combination actually taste quite good but here's an advice: NVR EAT EM WHEN U'RE FULL!!!!!!! Cos they can be very filling..........the purple rice actually taste n look a lot like black glutinous rice.......the one often used to cook the desert but im not sure whether they're the same..........all in all it was rather nice!
Well..........i forgot to take pics of all the wonderful cuisine i've sampled thruout the day except for the riceballs............was having a tough time uploading the pics into blogger.......its such a bitch............so eventually i came up wof a new way........i uploaded the pics into my yahoo album den uploaded em frm there into blogger n it was over within a few secs!!!!!!! Wahahaha i'm brilliant lol! :P
MAN U MAY BE COMING TO MSIA AFTERALL!!!!!!!!!! Cos PM Abdullah wants em to come so BIG CHANCE OF EM COMING!!!!!!!!!! Wahahahaha!!! :)
And i just can't stand Jose..............can he get worst................disgusting fella..............
Oh ya almost forgot........MY RESOLUTIONS!!!!!!! I'm making 2 today......realistic 1's.........1stly im gonna start the habit of eating at least 1 apple everyday! It's the healthy way of living aneway haha! Next, i wanna restart my exercise regime!!!!!

I've already started Number 1 today and i'm gonna start Number 2 tmr and continue them on all the way!!!!!!!! :)
