Precious Living

Nic took us to our favourite Japanese restaurant in town in a building that specially caters to Japanese Singaporeans. As we were lifted to the third floor, I noticed a Japanese grocery store, a Japanese karaoke parlor and a lot of other Japanese retail shops and restaurants.

This is where we were. I discovered that pulling my hair back pulls my eyes upwards which helps me look younger.

Nic was absolutely delighted to have thought of this place. Just the anticipation of good food arriving soon got us so excited.

I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of the menu to compare prices with other eateries for remembrance.

The lover’s chicken is a complete surprise. I thought it was fried chicken wings in some Japanese sauce but when I bit into it, my mouth was bursting with all sorts of indescribable flavor. The chicken wings are de-boned and stuffed with a cocktail similar to a dumpling.

The salmon sashimi is is richly creamy and soft all around but chunky in the middle.

This garlic fried rice tops Nic’s must-have list. On its own, it is so fragrant. After sprinkling chili oil over it lightly, I almost thought I had died and reached heaven.

What’s Valentine’s Day without aphrodisiac? Crumbly fried oysters.

This heart-warming soup tastes like chawan mushi that had already melted in your mouth. I like it so much, I lifted the bowl and it was bottoms up all the way.

An interesting twist to the usual grilled cuttlefish. No comments.

We finished dinner after nine and saw that there was still a queue outside. Thank God for phone reservations.

The service here is splendid too. The aunties who served were casual, friendly and most importantly, genuinely interested in helping us plan a wonderful meal.
