Haiz. The Internet connection in the office is a bit cranky. It was down for a few hours yesterday afternoon and for one hour this morning. It's back now but it's super slow and I can't check my email. Surprisingly I could access Blogger immediately. Strange...

Anyway I went to Suntec after work yesterday for Japanese buffet at Kuishin-bo with Mummy and Auntie Grace. I reached there at 6.30pm and Mummy was still on her way there. So I 'strolled' around. This time I decided to skip Carrefour and toured the rest of the first level. I browsed around at a push-cart stall selling necklaces. Then I passed by the escalator and ended up at a section filled with food counters and outlets. I went all the way to Sakae Sushi then turned back to the other end (near Delight Corner) of Carrefour (I also dunno how I ended up there).

Mummy arrived at 7pm and we went into Carrefour to buy some stuff. Then we proceeded to Kuishin-bo. Along the way we met Auntie Grace and the three of us went to the restaurant together. It was Ladies' Night so the price was slightly cheaper than usual. The food was good. The seafood was very fresh. I loved the prawns, crab and baby lobster. Of course I also enjoyed my favourite tempura. We also had yakitori, sashimi, chawanmushi, karaage and many more. The dessert was delicious as well but by that time I already felt quite full and couldn't really enjoy the dessert. There was this odd dessert which was like strawberry hidden inside a piece of chocolate. The chocolate was sweet but after a while, the sour taste of the strawberry surfaced.

Sorry but I'm not very good at describing food. But I think it's a nice place to go if you love Japanese cuisine and if you don't mind eating a bit more. In my case, I felt I ate a bit too much. Maybe it's because ours was a small group. I think it's better to go for buffets in a big group. But nevertheless, I enjoyed the dinner.

After dinner, we still had some time to browse around as the taxi hadn't arrived yet. Most shops were closed by that time but Mini Toons was still open. Guess what I saw?
The stuffed toy pig from Korean drama《我叫金三顺》! They only had medium size left. Actually we had reservations about buying it as it cost $19.90 but the salesgirl was really friendly and helpful and her service attitude was excellent. And she said all branches have run out of stock for the small size. We were the only customers in the shop then as it was near closing time but the salesgirl was very patient and still served us willingly. We kinda felt obliged to buy something and didn't see anything else that caught my eye. So we decided to get the pig.

After that we went outside the tower to wait for the taxi which arrived at 10.45pm. We dropped Auntie Grace off at the bus stop before heading home. We reached home before 11.30pm.

I thought I would feel tired after a long day outside but surprisingly I was wide awake until 2am. I watched TV throughout. I'm glad I managed to stay awake as Energy appeared in the last part of《娱乐百分百》. It was some cooking contest and they had to prepare dishes with bananas as the main ingredient. This is in conjunction with their album title《猩人类》. "猩猩" means "gorilla" and gorillas eat bananas (if I'm not wrong).

Anyway the clip was quite lame and funny. Can't remember the exact dishes they cooked. 阿弟 cooked something that consisted of beer, ice cream and of course, bananas, I think. Anyway he won the contest. 书伟 cooked curry using bananas. Not sure what it would taste like. Haha... 坤达's dish consisted of yoghurt, bananas and dunno what else. Sorry but I can't recall the details as I was too busy laughing while watching the programme.

That's all for this entry. Shall try checking my email again. Stupid server.
