Glorious Food
Indeed i haven't been updating my bloggie lately ... hehehe, partly due to my work and partly coz of the reason i put up in the tagboard, which is kinda lame. I wonder if anyone buys it. Anyways, a while ago i opened up my picture folder and realised many photos i've taken lately are all about food. So .... I'll make this post a photo-intensive one which revolves around the 4-letter F word.the glorious F word, even more glorious than the other F word (the one which is 1/4 of a fish and 3/4 of a duck )

During my sister's 21st birthday a few days back, my aunt took us to a nice restaurant for a session of fine-dining under the moonlight. It's at Rochester Park along North Buono Vista Road, at a place called the da Paolo Bistro Bar.
The ambience there is wonderful ... and the setting, simply to die for.
It's one of those nice residence-turn-restaurant kind of place. The tables are set across the porch of the bungalow, and everyone dines under the stars. The area is sheltered from the side by trees and flora, and soft music plays in the background. The lightning is intentionally dimmed with a candle on every table. The mood generated is simply enchanting.
Check Out the Setting!
It's a french restaurant, and I couldn't pronounce any food item from the menu. I ordered Onion Soup for appetizer, and half-grilled sashimi with mexican corn rice for my main course.

Half-grilled Sashimi smothered with tomatoes, served with Corn Rice
It taste great ... damn. The only thing lacking will be some good wine to go with the food. I'll definately come back here again. Besides food, it's a great place to catch up with friends/gfs/bfs over some good wine as well.
The roman setting there is rather unique, with couch-beds (wadever you call them), an outdoor bar etc ... Irresistable!

During the weekends, somehow we ran out of food in the house, and noone wants to eat re-heated donuts from the fridge. So ... we ordered Pizza! Oishi Pizza that is, highly reccommended by many of my friends and even Mr.Brown himself (www.mrbrownshow.com). It's 1-for-1, so we got a wasabe seafood pizza and a teriyaki chicken pizza.

Wasabe Seafood Pizza
Check it out, looks different eh? It kinda reminds me of Ramly burgers, lots of sauce goes on top of it. I won't say it taste super, just that it's rather .... different for a pizza. Its got a unique style, a Japanese touch to it. Heh ... unlike western pizzas which comes with loads of cheese, this one comes with loads of other weird sauces.
Yeah i'd reccommend it, go try it at least once. Hehz, i still like cheese though.

Lastly!!! 2 days ago my Aunt suddenlly got this immense craving for crabs. She doesn't really believe in crab-sticks, and so guess where we went for dinner that nite. Here's some hints! Scroll down slowly and take in the pictures!
Fresh Mussels? Check out their tongues, bleeaah~~
Everyone has seen half of a crayfish before, on menus or on your main courses. Not many has seen what they look like before being halved though ... here's their "before" picture, smiling for the camera.
Counch Shell Abalones, cousins to the sea coconuts
GeoDucks, yeah it's a pokemon.
Lobsters!
Alaskan King Crab!!

Dig???
Long Beach Seafood Restaurant!
Despite their spiky appearance and menancing claws, these "Air Flown Live Alaskan King Crabs" are actually one of nature's gentlest creatures...
That's a joke.
But they're definately one of nature's yummiest items to savour on your taste buds!
It's been quite some time since i last had chilli crab, haha. I missed the sweet/spicy sauce that goes soooooo well with fried Man Tou. We also ordered black pepper crab, fried soon hock and some other dishes. I didn't bother to take any pictures of the dishes though ... coz my hands are dirty from fiddling with the crab meat.

Where do you go if you're craving for a nice Japanese buffet spread?
If your answer to the above question is "Sakae Sushi" or "Genki Sushi", you seriously need a life.
Or if you think that NTUC Cold Storage is the best place, you can use a good psychiatrist.
Before i reveal my choice of restaurant, do scroll down slowly and take in the pictures. Just think of this wonderful deal ... all these glorious food, all these variety ... all at one place for one price! True, given their taste doesn't exactly match up to those super exquisite Japanese restaurants that sells sushi for $10 a piece ... but unlimited quantities of these goodies for just $35 is simply a steal. Plus, it really taste good, not super, but just good.
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about Jap food? Sushi and Sashimi! Check out the spread!!
Or how about some tepanyaki??
Here's a promotional iteam, sweet BBQ crayfish! This tastes like heaven!
Udon anyone? These comes in many different toppings and are contained in very small mini-claypots, so you don't have to worry about not finishing your noodles!
Glorious Tempura!! Get all of these on your taste buds !
Nabe!! That's japanese for paper steamboat. A popular delicacy, die-die-must-try! Did i mention it's free flow?
Had Enough? Im not done yet!! Free flow Snow Crabs for everyone! And hell, it doesn't taste anywhere near crabsticks.
A foodie's rule of thumb: Never finish a meal without dessert, so here's what they've got to offer! It taste as good as it looks, and there's ice cream too!
Here's where it's at. Suntec Tower Level 3!! Right beside the entrance to Sky Garden ... the place is called Kuishinbo. All Japanese food lovers looking for a good spread at a good price, fall in there fast!
Bon Appetit!
