By right, i should be sleeping by now.
Very tired actually but just can't get to sleep.

Today, with the help of Ms Bing, i set this blog into private mode.

This whole afternoon i was so panicky as i have been busily figuring out on not to let others find out about this blog.

If not for the ramen girl post i have wrote earlier, i guess nobody knows about my blog. But its nice to know that people is using the stuff i wrote, prove that my blog is not totally unknown afterall.

And of course thanks for the busybody gal.

Gosh... got to clear my mind again :(

The night.

Already told myself not to blog anything associate with you again...
But tonight, at this particular night, the urge, the memories of you and me keep floating in my mind.

Again and again.

What have changed?
The inclusive of 90.5FM in my mobile radio;
To start wearing clothes that i don't ever wear for anyone;
To like wrinkles around the eyes;
To start on my travel thrill;
Become a habit to look at the staircase that we have sat;
To avoid all beaches that we went to...

That night, you took away everything you have given me when we got started.
Perhaps all this is just a dream, a dream that once got me so obsessed, so attracted to it.
And i am still in it....
All i missed and loved is the person whom existed in the beginning but not the person whom hurt me once again and not the one whom called today. Definately not.

*Let out a breath*
What a night...

Amazing Thailand 2010 - Food version!

My only western breakfast for this trip... hmmm... disappointment :(

Cold sandwiches and coffee...

Although not local food, Thailand is famous for nice Japanese food. In particular to the economical pricing, many people who have been to Thailand will definately includes a meal of Jap food. Under recommendation, i went to this restuarant for the first time; Mt. Fuji. Famous for its Teppanyaki, i ordered a portion of grilled Beef and Kurobuta.

Well, decent looking but texture of the noodle is too soggy.

Nicely grilled and tender. Yummy!
( My favourite photo of this trip)

Not comparable with the Kurobuta, beef is too tough and not juicy at all. I even requested to change the first portion that was being served to me.

Overall, i find that the grilled Kurobuta is still the best, perhaps becos of the nature of the meat itself. I did not order any sushi or sashimi as i feel that it is overpriced. And from the look of the guy sitting at the next table, i think i might be right to choose Teppanyaki over sushi :)

Ippudo (Singapore) ー風堂

As per my earlier post, a friend introduced me to this new and renowned restaurant in town, Ippudo (Singapore). I went on a weekday at around 7pm and a long queue has already been formed in front of the restaurant.

Ippudo serves 2 types of broth, the Shiromaru and the Akamaru; which is added with Ippudo special made Miso paste. I ordered the Shiromaru classic as I want to try the original tonkotsu soup base which is supposing to be more refreshing and light.

Shiromaru classic with Chashu, $15
The Shiromaru is the original version of their tonkotsu broth with slices of simmered pork loin charshu, cabbage and spring onions. The broth tasted flavorful but I find it a bit to the salty side. Nevertheless I must comment that the noodle is well cooked as the springy texture remains.

Goma Q, Japanese cucumber with sesame seeds
Japanese cucumber served with mixture of sesame oil, shoyu sauce, chilli flakes and sesame seeds. Freshly cut cucumber which is refreshing, serves in bite size which leads you to pop it into your mouth one by one without realizing how many you have ate.

Gyoza
I always love Japanese Gyoza. No matter where I go to, I will order a portion.
I love the skin, which is so thin that you can see the filling in it. However, I feel that it could be presented in a nicer way and each Gyoza is way too scantily filled.

During my 1 hour visit in the restaurant, the crowd has been constant. There is a mix of mainly curious eaters; the white collar like me or tertiary students.
And of course, not to mention Japanese in Singapore whom have been swept away by the reputation of Ippudo (Tokyo).

The founder of the company, Shigemi Kawahara who is known as “Ramen King” as he won nationwide ramen-making competition three years in a row. Despite its firm standing in the ramen industry, Ippudo only set up branches in 2 overseas countries, one in New York (Manhattan), 2008 and in Singapore last December.

Overall I think it is worth a try as how many people can be named as the “Ramen King”? And of course the reputation of Ippudo is way too hard to resist and endure.
