Met up with my girl friends (Jels and Els) last week.
Time passes and we have all changed and chose different paths in life, but one thing never does change... Deep in our hearts, we are still the young crazy and positive girls we were in Secondary School! Meetups with the girls is when we leave behind the unhappiness and worries in the real world of corporate politics and the harshness of reality, and we can talk about everything and anything under the sun.
It is really great to have friendships that you know will last, and people whom you can count on if anything ever happens.
ok, i seemed to have side-tracked.
Another thing we share, is the love for Japanese Cuisine. People have always told me how having Japanese food in Singapore cannot be compared to the real authentic Japanese Cuisine in Japan itself. but hey, I have not been there before (yet), so I have to make do with what I have and look for the best Japanese Cuisine here isnt it?
And speaking of which, I'm setting off for Japan for the first time in my life! *excited* I just hope that the flight experience will be safe and good.
Back to Japanese Cuisine, we decided on Clarke Quay Central's Mitsuba By Yurine Japanese Restaurant. Restaurant was not that big, so we made a reservation beforehand.
The restaurant was a little too dark for my liking, as evident from the gloomy and shadow-y photos turnout in this post. However, the service crew was really polite and we were served by this really enthusiastic gentleman (we secretly think that we were showered with attention because my friend is pretty). We were quite amused when he switched on the tower fan and directed it at my friend lest it was too warm for "us".
Besides that overflowing enthusiasm and passion for the customers, the crew was really attentive and made sure that our cups are always filled (except for the last half an hour when they were preparing to close for the day and didn't really bother to do so). We didn't know that warm green tea was complimentary so we were pleasantly surprised when the bill did not include drinks.
The restaurant provides a 2-pax set dinner at $128++ but the menu was a little vague:
Jels ordered a Sashimi Moriawase (SGD$30), which looked like a small portion, but if you look closer, they are really generous with the sashimi. Each slice is thickly cut, especially the salmon, and it was really filling:
Els had the Haru Chirashi (SGD$28), which came in a bento box. Apparently this is the second time Els is ordering this set. She said that the sashimi is fresh, and it comes with a raw oyster, which was absent in the sashimi moriawase above. The full set looks like this:
I wasn't feeling too hungry that day, plus I just had a sashimi overdose over at Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru (see my post here), so i decided to get a Saba Shioyaki set (SGD$15, SGD$9 for alacarte saba order) instead. The side dish (top right) is cucumber cubes with unagi, something different and refreshing. else, the saba was pretty normal:
The total bill came up to ~$86SGD, so on average we spent around SGD$30 per pax:
