Japanese pasta at Yomenya Goemon at City Link Mall

I hope you like pasta because you're going to see a lot of different pasta in this entry!

Leslie and I walked past Yomenya Goemon after the Swissotel & Fairmont's Christmas party and told ourselves we're visiting it.

So we were back!

Each of us ordered a half-pasta set - that's two half-bowl of pastas plus miso soup and drink in each set.

The servings are so generous, doesn't feel like "half" bowl.

My seafood aglio olio

Leslie's seafood cream pasta

Leslie also had one tomato pasta

My carbonara

Soup pasta

Leslie didn't have enough and decided to get another bowl. So I get to try some of it too.

Overall it was a very fulfilling meal, the pasta were all very nicely done. The only complaint I would have is the   of the seafood aglio olio. I found it a little too bland. Leslie's seafood cream pasta is the most gratifying, and the tomato pasta is pretty good too :)

Sushi Tei - For affordable and yummy Japanese food

When it comes to family-styled Japanese restaurants, Sushi Tei is my all-time fave.

And my fave sushi from them?

THIS:

I'd always eye it the moment I sit next to the conveyer belt.

Taste heavenly.

Another must-order is this: Salmon, salmon belly and roe.

This is a new creation that came about during Sushi Tei's chef's competition - avocado and spring roll skin. Actually, it isn't fantastic.

Me and bro fulfilling our "blogging duties".

Dai dai roll - die die must order.

This is quite an indulgence too.

Beef lovers will be pleased with this.

Soft shell crab maki. Love the crunch from the crab and texture of the roe.

Salt ice-cream and mango ice-cream.

Dinner & Drinks with Han

Han and I celebrated my birthday after attending DrGL MAN's launch at Escentials and Paez's launch at Threadbare & Squirrel (click to see my post on it)

Because we've been walking around in heels (although Han changed into the comfy Paez that she bought that day), we decided not to venture too far and went for dinner at Shokudo at Bugis Junction.

I can never resist ordering Shokudo's pasta because it's so yummy. Yeah, like ANY pasta. I went for this one because I haven't tried it before (and I've pretty much try every other pasta on the menu). I think this is pretty alright... I still prefer the Carbonara and Chicken balls skewers with cream pasta.

Tomato based pasta with pork slices.

This is pretty decent but the wasabi mayo is yummy.

Prawn fritters with wasabi mayo sauce.

This is what Han ordered. It came in a super generous portion.

Burger!

At first we wanted to walk around the mall but because our feet still feel tortured by our heels, we decided to seek "refuge" at Intercontinental Hotel.

A pianist was making music there and the ambience is just fab. The kind of ambience that I'm a total sucker for!

We got some drinks - I had a Hoegaarden and Han had Irish Cream Bailey's.

We had a fantastic chat about - well, pretty much everything under the sun. And took lots of pictures.

Okay, I just want to show off my hair, ok? Oh, and a bit of my Kate Spade bag.

Here are pictures of us playing with my camera's Fish-Eye effect function.

Where do you go to chill out?
