A Yummilicious, HeartBreaking $85 Dinner
It's been a while since i've blogged...
guess partly i've been lazy and partly i've been bumming at home...
so nothing has really been happening...
met up w rachel for dinner today...
she wanted to try this yakitori place at cuppage plaza
coz she read abt it from some foodie's blog.
so off we went to try the food at the place.
the place is called Kazu. it's on the 4th floor. #04-05, cuppage plaza.
and the food was FANTASTIC !!
we felt kinda adventurous and tried some of the foods dat
i'll prob not order on an ordinary day...
besides the ordinary yakitori foods like chicken meatball, mini hamburger, chicken skin, gizzard, liver, etc,
we had some rather rarely eaten dishes.
we had this dish called 'baby eel ponzu'
it's basically baby eel in a ponzu sauce... it's quite nice... tho a little saltish.
check out the little black eye on the fairly translucent body of the baby eel...
so cool... heh heh...
check out the little beady eye on the top.
after which our order of the chef's appetizer of the day is served.
on the left is some eel thingy.. cant remember exactly wat it's called.
in the middle is potato w salmon roe... yummy big beady ones.
and on the right is some mountain vegetable... which wasn't too bad.
we also ordered the foie gras and salmon belly... both of which were heavenly...
foie gras on the left, salmon belly on the right.
esp the foie gras. the moment it went into my mouth, i could feel it melt away...
the salmon belly was the same also... the outside was nice and cooked...
and the inside was simply melting away when i bit into it.
up next, was this...
go on... make a guess wat this is...
it's
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
horse sashimi !
who would have tot dat one could have horse sashimi...
and it tasted fabulous w the garlic and chives dip.
and it's quite tasteless on it's own...
no funny horsey taste or anything of dat sort...
up next was the homemade tofu...
we were expecting some tofu thingy... but it turned out to be...
tofu made from salmon !
and on top of it is a cauliflower sauce which was quite good, along w a sesame and a vegetable paste.
sesame paste in the middle, veg paste on the right.
not to forget the grated carrot on the left.
we also had other yummy stuff like quail's egg wrapped in pork belly or wat i thikn is bacon... haha...
golden mushrooms wrapped in unagi.
not to mention sea urchin sushi as well...
last but defintely not least... we had the cheese prawn...
it's basically prawn dat's been grilled and covered w a layer of cheese.
quite v yummy i must say... was quite surprised dat the medium sized prawn we got was quite large...
and it came towards the end when we both were quite rather full...
sorry this one looks rather mutilated coz this was after i had shelled it...
with the cheese everywhere on the plate and the prawn...
and to top things off... dinner was accompanied by a flask of warm sake.
but of coz when the bill came... it was heart pain...
coz the total bill for 2 greedy people came up to $170... haha...
but i must say it was money well spent...
coz not only was the food great, the service was good as well...
friendly staff who more or less know wat they're serving and if they don't, they'll find out for you.
a truly fantastic experience... i wun hesitate to go there again if i have the funds to do so...
so everyone give the place a try... remember...
it's called kazu, at cuppage plaza, #04-05.
and pls make a reservation b4 going down coz it can get crowded.
when we left, there were like 2 groups of ppl waiting for their table...
and it's one of those places u can sit there, talk and eat the time away...

Back and Gone Again Soon...
Hey everyone...
i'm back liao... actually was back on monday. but was busy meeting upo w friends for dinner...
and a little lazy to blog abt my trip..
this trip was quite ok... din go bak to shore often like the last time coz the trip back to shore will take us like abt 20-24hrs...
so after we left the jetty, it was a 24hr journey to the survey sites and another 17 days of work thereafter...
think i like thai airways so much better than MAS.
first, i get to eat w proper cutlery, instead of the crappy plasticky ones MAS gives their passengers.
secondly, they offer us nice hot rolls to go w our meals. MAS offers none... bleh.
while enroute to the survey site, we went past a few oil rigs that were there. and we were actually quite close to one... so grabbed the opportunity for a photo moment.
i absolutely love the views i get while working offshore... those gorgeous sunsets and sunrises are sights to behold. the other good thing abt this trip is dat the waters in the guf of thailand are very very calm... it almost looks like it's water in a tub... w/o a thrashing baby in it...hehe.
and made another discovery... if u had tot dat gardenia only sells bread, guess again...
we had strawberry flavoured soft drinks onboard...
so dat was work in general...
after we got back, i and another 2 friends got a taxi to take us to hatyai, a 45mins drive from our hotel in songkhla. we spent a few hours there, trying to buy some tees and stuff...
in the end, i only got a t-shirt. we also went to this salon to get our ears cleaned out...
so the girl whipped out her set of tools like cotton buds and wat-not and got down to work..
felt damn good after dat... also went to the nearby mac's to grab a bite...
and saw on the menu a sight we'll never get to see in sg...
pork in their menu...
after dat went back to the hotel coz we were having a end-of-job dinner paid for by the manager.
the food was excellent. had crabs, prawns, tom yam soup, veg, squid.
went for couple of drinks and den it's off to bed b4 going home the next day...
really miss seeing and going out w my friends, esp close ones whom i see almost every week.
well... dun u all forget me ya...
havent uploaded the fotos to flickr yet.. so will let u all know once they're up.

Grooming Day
Went to get my haircut yesterday...
when i was walking to the hairdresser's @ meridien
saw this mani-pedi place on the ground floor...
den began contemplating if i shd go for a mani-pedi or not.
shoved off the thought when i reached the salon.
after my haircut, as i walking out, tot i'll ask how much first...
by dat time, i was v much inclined to get a mani-pedi.
so went to the shop, asked for the price and got one done...
hehe...
it was quite a funny sight,
seeing some of the ppl doing a double take when they see a guy in there getting his nails done...
so i now have nice shiny nails... :)
think i'll have a mani-pedi everytime i come back from a trip...
it's quite a pampering feeling... Mmmm....
so ladies, feel free to ask me along if u cant find any mani-pedi buddy... :)
this makes it my 3rd mani and 2nd pedi in my life...
and the beginning of more to come i guess...
oh well... leaving for thailand tom. think i'll be buying some tees...
if u have anything u want me to get for u, sms me.
or if u need to get hold of me, u can email me at: Fugro_3@hmcmail.com
and pls put my name in the subject header...
this is the common email addy everyone on the ship uses.
and it's only applicable to this current trip.
and i think i'll try to make a new friend on each flight i take.
and so make myself talk to the stranger next to me, and expand my contacts..
and i'm planning to record my weight b4 and after every trip.
see if i've gained weight... haha...
can get pretty fattening, juz eating and sleeping onboard...
weight before trip: 66kg
we'll see when i get back ;)
