#86 - A Birthday Treat

Promises aren't meant to be broken, but rules are. 

Great thing, I didn't break my promise again. Back with photos for Sister's birthday. 

Headed all the way to The Central just to have my virgin try of Ma Maison. Sadly, initial plan screwed. Ma Maison was to be opened at 6pm that day. It was quite screwed up that day though, with SMRT train services down, and we had to resort to taking 190 all the way to town, and then it poured. How mad could this be?

So, the feeling was damn annoying when you make your way to the shop and then they tell you it's not opened yet.

 Screwed up not enough. 

The rain just spoilt the atmosphere, plus we had to walk quite a distance before reaching The Central.

Okay, whatever. So we happened to chanced upon WATAMI, a Japanese restaurant. Yeah, so it was my treat for my sister's birthday. Awwww, how diabetic-ally sweet a brother I am.

So here are the photos! And perhaps some ratings too. This restaurant is not bad!

We got the special set for 2!

Our drinks, mine was citrus tea, which is lime plus red tea. My sis got herself citrus cola, lime plus cola. 

Mine tasted better, but was super sweet. Hers, the opposite!

The salad with lots of dressing! This, to me is damn nice. The sauce, if I'm not wrong, is made by the restaurant itself. It's unique, with a salty and creamy flavour, along with sesame fragrance. So it's quite appetising!

Ratings:

Salad: 4 / 5

Salmon Sashimi! Mostly mine since my sister preferred cooked ones. It's quite fresh, except for the fact that it was sliced too thickly. So it's kind of disgusting after you take quite a few mouthfuls.

Ratings:

Salmon Sashimi: 3.5 / 5

A fried tofu dish dipped in tempura sauce perhaps. It's deep fried and although bland, it tast good after soaking it in the tempura sauce!

Fried Tofu dish: 4 / 5

Some omelette thing. I love the cheezy-ness of this. It's better than the one I ate at Japan. Yet, it's rather salty so you have to match it with maybe rice, or drink up some water.

Ratings:

Omelette: 3 / 5

A  Beef Sukiyaki  perhaps. It's worth it since it's filled to the brim. I think this is quite similar to the one I had in Japan, called the 'Shabu Shabu'. The soup is sweet and salty at the same time. Nevertheless, the contents are quite yummy!

Ratings:

Beef Sukiyaki: 3.5 / 5

This is the Udon that comes with it!

Bibimbap! How thoughtful they are, not wanting you to scald your hand, by placing the stone bowl in a box. However, the stone bowl was too hot I guess, the rice at the bottom got burnt pretty fast. If not for the high burning speed, it would have tasted better, cause the beef in this is nice! The waitress was quite thoughtful actually, since she advised us to quickly finish it, if not it'll be burnt!

Ratings:

Bibimbap: 4 / 5

So much for 2 only @ $59!
