Happy 21st!! (on 8th nite)

uhaven't gotten around to blogging about my 21st cos was busy.. busy celebrating, that is. wahaha.

am admiring my pressies now. anyway, have many many photos to put up.. some are not so clear cos it's taken using my new hp.. bought a N70 for myself a day before my birthday.. a 21st birthday gift to myself.. hahahahaa.

went to sun with moon @wheelock on the 8th night.. jem called to reserve seats at 3pm therefore we had a very cozy booth.. (others can only sit at the common area and watch with envy.! muahhaha!) =]

the entire restaurant has soft lightings.. there were booths as well as tables (haha! we got a booth to ourselves!!) and around the booths were some transclusent curtain-thingys hanging around, giving a sort-of romantic atmosphere.. the fluffy cushions were a plus point, and i already liked the place before settling down. (our booth looks something like this.. but nicer.. this was the booth opposite ours. super nice rite???)

was hungry so got down to ordering their food.. a tad pricey, i would say. oh well. paying to sit in nice booth with cushions all. wad to do... bah.

wanted to order this appetizer.. 7 types of finger food on a satay stick.. but too expensive.. 17+++ man.. bo hua.

drinks were served first. i had guava tea, jem had peach tea. his peach tea was super pretty, with all the fruits in it!! mine had only some petals. =[ but both were pretty good.

another picture with his drink up close.. it actually looks prettier.. hehe! and it was yummilicious!! =]

then came the food.. jem ordered zaru soba which is cold noodles.. i've never fancied sobas. he seems to enjoy it though. i like how they present their food.. appeals to me.. don't you think the colour of the pickes are very nice? hehe! me likey.!! =]

so while watching him eat the soba with much relish, another dish came. his again. it's called salmon kamemeshi.. basically minipot rice with salmon and salmon roe.. they have this mini hourglass on top.. cute. =]

it looks like this when it came.. not very appealing rite.. but very amusing to see the hourglass on top of the minipot.. hehe! reminds me of saunas and big bathtubs in japan..

it looked so mysterious.. but it smelled really good.. looked as good when i opened for a teeny-weeny peek. hehe (actually looks much yummier.. but i think my photographic skills are limited. =[ sad.)

of course by now my food have to arrive. hungry ok. i ordered unagi don. ok yes yes, boring.. but i like!

looks good? it was really yummy! plump grains of rice and two fat pieces of unagi sitting on top of them.. ready to be eaten by me!

muahaha!

not too salty, but i kinda got full from it halfway through.

while i was eating, this very interesting dish was served. ebi and kaki gratin. prawns and oysters with citron-miso gratin. very huh? rite?

it's actually prawns and oysters (and potatoes as well) with broth, covered with cheese and made to bake for awhile. (my guess)

looks nice eh? it had salmon pieces in it too.. but a little salty. and the dish kept moving out of place whenever i was digging for the food. (yes, digging. it was stuck quite firmly to the bottom of the dish.)

the gratin was slightly too cheesy for me, so i ordered another item on the menu. ebiten roll. superb.! presentation is good, prawns were crispy, and the rice were not too sticky nor too sour, like how sushi from sushi bars tend to be very vinegar-ish and the rice always seem to be stuck on the prawn or cucumber or whatever. this was good.. six pieces only.. very little hor.. but i like.! me likey! =]

after all the food, i was bursting at the seams, but jem still wanted ice cream. i was thinking green tea.. but we never got to eating it in the end cos of mj. hahaha.! (actually after dinner still got jie mu, but pics i can't find yet, so next post then continue!)
