Yes, we are always waiting, forever waiting On the path that continues on forever This dream I've always embraced in my heart will surely come true Crying and laughing, I'll keep moving forward Someone is surely waiting, waiting to tell me something On the path that continues on forever Face tomorrow and shine, keep chasing this dream I'll use up my voice and keep moving forward Believe by 嵐 Song/lyrics belong to Johnny & Associates.

Sunday, December 20, 2009 Posted at 12:55 AM After class today, I met up with Sam and Yan. Yan wanted us to try out this Japanese restaurant that just opened in Orchard Central. She has been there a few times and she said that when she first tasted the food, she thought of us. So sweet. :) We had to queue for more than half an hour to get in. And omg it was worth it. That was the best Japanese food I have ever had. Sam and I was really blown away. Too awesome to be true. So before I start assaulting this space with pictures and descriptions of good food, here are some visual treats to get us all in the mood. (: These were the kinds of faces we made when we all had our first taste of the food. Ok. So the restaurant is called Ootoya. I think that it is the first store outside of Japan that they have. According to them, it is a family style restaurant that serves authentic Japanese cuisine. So none of the sushi stuff. And damn, if this was family style, I wonder about the kaiseki kinds of cuisine. 0.0. Here's a link to the restaurant's website. But it's all in Japanese only. But do feast on the pics of their menu. 8D This was the Scallop Rice w Soup set that we got. Scallops were so sweet and tender. The soup and the tofu was quality. The rice was continually being 'steamed' or rather, heated as we ate. K then we also had the Grilled Mackerel set. I never understood it when the Japanese review fish and describe them as being deliciously fatty. But tonight, I did. Fatty fish was a first; definitely not my last. :3 The other set we ordered was this. Charcoal Grilled Chicken and Egg. Oh my. Damn good. Ouh, and the miso soup was rich. Not stingy with the miso paste, nor the wakame. Plus, they had radish in it. Alritey, still not done! Dessert was next. ^^ This was the mochi with matcha jelly and ice cream. Also served with red beans and soya syrup. Yummmmmm. *slurps* And next is the Hokkaido Milk ice-cream with jelly-like mochi. And soya bean powder. Also served with soya syrup. 0.0 NGL. These were nothing short of heavenly. So, this sums up my virgin experience with authentic Japanese cuisine. Home-style at that. Very highly recommended. :) All through dinner our faces were distorted with amazement at how good the quality of the food was. Just quite like these ppl. :D Alright. I'm sorry if I accidentally murdered your connection with the overload of pics and gifs. I'd like to believe they're for a good cause. 8) gif credit as labelled.
