it was fun bullying jasmine ho by throwing pillows at her every time she seemed like winning hannah
-

-
although the excessive use(1 is bad enough) of F-words later was kind of ... -_-
although it warranted more pillows chucked at her

F-words are BAD...

it seems like the past few days i’ve been eating rather expensive “coffee shop” food
-
thurs:Uno beef house - sirloin steak - $10
friday Uno beef house - tenderloin steak - $15
-
and today
-
my mum suddenly decided she wants to go to some random coffeeshop at Jln Bkt Merah to eat this ridiculously expensive Japanese food she found on the newspaper
-
Cilantro:
1. Wagyu Don (beef bowl)- $9.50 (mine)
2. Smoked duck rice - $9.50 (mum)
3. Soft-shell crab Salad -$4.50
-
total - $23.50 for 2 people, which amounts to $12.25 pax
-
Insane for coffeeshop food right?
-
it was interesting to see the contrast between the prices of adjacent stores($2, $2.50 etc.)
-
esp. since Jln Bkt Merah isn’t exactly a rich mans area
-
on the other hand , I shall review the food we ate
-
Wagyu Don:
very succulent thinly sliced pieces of beef
think Yoshinoya with high grade meatly pieces beef nicely marbled(laced with thin steaks of fat)(i.e. Wagyu), proper onions, and higher grade rice (not the soggy stuff Yoshinoya gives)
and you might be close...
was very nice, but the proportion of beef to rice gave was not that good , too much rice/too little beef
-
Smoked Duck rice:
indescribably good ...
soft and succulent slices of duck seasoned nicely served with rice topped with teriyaki sauce
a very generous helping as well...
as my mum would say
more worth it than paying $4.50 for roast duck rice at half the amount of duck
the only think i can remember eating that was as good as this is probably from a Hong Kong(food trip with my aunts)... roast goose rice at 30+ HKD,
-
Soft-shell crab
served with wasabi dip.
not too great... the crab portion was quite measly

needless to say
my mum (and her sisters) are quite crazy over food... (would you actually drive all the way to all manner of weird places in Singapore to try out food recommended by the media?)
my mum intends to take me to eat sizzling rock/ hot stone sometime this week at boat quay. lol
-
quite funny lor, not like my mum earns a lot... but we still eat insanely expensive food (remembering the $189 meal I had 2 years back)
even without any special occasion some more
