Three Countries I'd Like to Visit

1. Barcelona, Spain

ancient buildings and medieval churches as remarkable architectural masterpieces. that was what initially captivated me about spain. then, stories and photos from an aunt during her brief stay there sparked greater interest for me to see the city from a resident's point of view. the last straw came during 流星花园, when 道明寺 and 杉菜 went there for a holiday. the beautiful churches, the street vendors, the city outskirts, the public monuments, the scenery... it's definitely at the top of my wishlist for wedding photos! :P

2. Rome, Italy

another great location for memorable wedding photos, my main purpose for visiting would be to see the colosseum. all those julius caesar and gladiator got me reaaallly fascinated about ancient rome. triump in the skies and the triangel only made it worse. lols. not to mention new moon also had a roman scene. and the sights and scenery are pretty too! ;)

3. Sligo, Ireland

where else but the hometown of my favorite westlife member? apparently sligo is more of a countryside than dublin, which is so me! (not much to visit, more to reside.) :D

of course, theoretically these are my 3 countries, but i'd probably never ever get to visit them. so realistically, i'll probably list taiwan, hongkong, and.....malaysia? boo. -_-'''

almost everything i do is related to being fat.

yet another gastronomic post! seems like there's really nothing much besides food to blog about. anyway, went for japanese buffet dinner with aunts, bro and SSD to 'celebrate' two birthdays. chose hibiki @ the singapore flyer, which was recommended by PL for cheap and nice jap buffets. (aunt kept complaining it was too far, which obviously pissed me off cos you can't really go, "oh i was looking at this at first too!" in the afternoon and then complain about it at night. zzZz.)

hmmmm. the ambiance was actually quite alright, except for the air conditioning which kinda isn't working well i guess. quite quiet, considering we were one of the 4 tables there. staff was rather responsive, even though there were only a few of them. the food also didn't take as long to arrive as we had expected.

but the food variety was utterly disappointing, which probably explains why there was so little people there during dinner time. but the quality was surprisingly not too bad! ordered a little from each section on the menu (basically everything).

my favorite: sashimi: salmon/tuna/shrimp/octopus!

sushi: salmon/tuna/egg/crabstick/shrimp.

temaki: salmon/california/soft shell crab. still riverview hotel temaki ftw!

teppanyaki: salmon/squid/prawns. this one is yummy!

tempura: ebi/shiitake etc.

miso paste on brinjal

this one kena cheated! it stated mixed veggies but it turned out to be red peppers with dao geh. -_-''

and the usuals: edamame, chawanmushi, shiitake mushrooms, age tofu, salmon etc.

not too bad! downside would be the lack of normal green tea. we had to order refillable green tea with roasted rice, at $5 per cup! zzZz. overall, probably a 3/5? =\

... ...

more eating this week! boo. and does anyone know where i can watch bambino? hmmmm.

sumo house @ AMK

... ...

but the main point of today's entry, is our lunch! a place called sumo house near ang mo kio hub.

their japanese bentos are super value for money lor! like the tenzaru soba set i had was only $5.90! in a normal sized portion!

ordered sides too.

the rest of them had bentos too.
