Argh! I Am So Full!

Yeap, it's another eating extravaganza for yours truly again! :) This time, it was a treat by a pair of friends who wanted to thank me for helping to design the birthday card of his mother's 70th birthday. They wanted to treat me to a sumptuous Japanese dinner, knowing how much I love Japanese Food. So we went to Keyaki at Pan Pacific Hotel.



- The interior of the restaurant is quite Japanese looking, mostly of white and dark wood.
- The menu informs the customer that this restaurant has won a couple of notable awards.
- Nice looking set of culterly for toothpicks, soysauce and I've-forgotten-what.



Their choice of yakitori set with lotsa meat... chicken, salmon belly, lobster, prawn in bacon, sotong, shisamo. There were also barberqued mushroom, garlic, pistachio, some unknown bean.

My selection of beef shabu-shabu (They can't serve the KOBE beef as indicated on the menu because "our singapore government bans because, cos scared of mad cow disease" said the waiter. So I settled for Australian beef. Just as good! :) And of course, what trip to a Japanese does not include fresh sashimi? Of course they were good. They charged a premium price for them!

I didn't look at the bill, cos I did not have to pick up the tab. After that, one of them was still hungry, so we went to Robertson walk for a smaller Japanese outfit. Some place call Shunju or something.


Eggplant; some unknown-to-me sausages; more yikitori. There were a couple other dishes, but I was too tired to take pictures of them. Same reason why I only talked about the food names :P Just too full and tired. In fact I am burping as I type this...

Oh yeah, the Chocolate Factory and the Butter Factory are located at Robertson walk! One day must go there and try... Especially the Chocolate Factory... Mmmm.....

So anyway, I went home, kinda satisfied :) Full but satisfied. Mentally reminded myself to watch my food intake for the coming week.

I had signed up with the church for a meet the Senior Pastor day today, at their residence. Those who attended the gathering were an interesting lot. Australians, Americans, English, locals, Sri Lankans... I left the place feeling really relieved that I've decided to settle in this church.

Day by day, I am getting more and more indication that this is the church that I should settle in. I am completely comfortable attending the service, even though at this point in time, I am sitting by myself during the entire service. But I get to know more and more people as I get more frequent. Getting to know the senior pastor is one of the first step for me to do more than attending service. Which I hope would happen when my current course draws to a close.

As for the event yesterday. I think, part of it happens due to misunderstanding and miscommunication of message earlier on. However, I still do agree with the fact that she uses such curt words on me. I'll just have to learn to be less involved in her matters. And to not take her unpolish words to heart.

I will not let her comments affect me.

Well, that's all from me for ya'all today. I am going to pen and email and heading off to bed. Taaa!
