Shokudo

Dylan had his routine check up at NUH today, and this time, I am not around. Boy is solely responsible for today's hospital trip, because it is not worth applying for leave when he can take him there, there's no need for me to be there too. Boy left Dylan at celestine's place straight after and he would pick him up after work. This means I am free for the day, went to have dinner with clement at city hall.

I actually type shokudo in googles and find lots of bad reviews, about mediocre service and food. This first time experience here wasn't too bad for me, and there wasn't any queue and a lot of people, we found seats easily. We didn't order a lot of food because we ain't big eaters like boy.

After a aimless walk in the mall, which has nothing fantastic to see, we found ourselves sitting here for a cuppa. Beware: expensive zone. It was hilarious when the table shook and I nearly trip, and my glass of ice water went pouring into his bag and shattering on the floor. It was an accident, I merely wanted to pick up my shoe, blames the shaky table. Luckily it is only water, not my ice mocha float.

Korean bbq chicken

Jiayi came over to tampines after she knocked off from work, to have dinner together and also to visit the new tampines one. We had wanted to have dinner in the new mall but it was simply too crowded to find seats anywhere. We were too hungry to wait, and so we decided to have dinner at eastlink foodcourt just beside the mall. After a round of window shopping, boy came over to join us, he haven't had dinner so we visited this korean bbq chicken situated at basement one to try out their food. The pictures looks pleasing and appetizing but it was a disappointment. Look at the menu, click the pictures to enlarge:


Soup & sides, salads


Main course, live specialty


Sandwiches & pasta



Beef & fish


Family and kids meal


Desserts, none of which attract me


Beverages


Golden strips (with honey mustard, which is not stated in the menu, what if customers don't take mustard?)
Price: $5.90
Comments: The fried meat is so tough, jiayi said her teeth nearly drop


My rootbeer float, jiayi's orange juice (which she complained it is orange syrup and demanded for a exchange), boy's ice coffee


Korean charbroiled, tender leg meat, marinated with 30 secret ingredients then roasted first on griller
Price: $14.60
Comments: This is really far fetch from what is shown on the menu, he complained that the price for this main course is too expensive, the chicken is too small a piece to fill him up and the taste is so-so only, not so very fanstastic that will make him come back for it again. How come food isn't serve piping hot?

The restaurant interior is nice though, boy commented that he will never come back again

Pizza hut

Met celestine for lunch on sunday after her church. Dylan stayed over at her place the night before so that we can go over to kaka's birthday celebration. We went over to united square thinking of some buffet lunch but in the end I think its kinda expensive and we end up at pizza hut. Thanks for the treat girl. I am really broke this month.

We ordered an additonal hut's platter

Mango surprise


Dual flavour pizza, I like the ultra thin and crispy crust


Naughty Dylan went running around in the restaurant

After walking around in the mall, we headed to fetch mummy from work, I had invited moo and her mum over to my place for mahjong in the evening. I was really disappointed when she told me she's not coming at the 11th hour. Mummy thinking we were going to play mahjong, took Dylan out to ah yi's house, jiayi also went out with javier, leaving the 3 of us with no choice but to play 3 person mahjong.
