Birthday Celebration with Parents

Hi Guys!

Recently I went for dinner with my parents at Parkway Parade's Ichiban Boshi. They didn't allow reservation, thus we had to wait for about 20 mins to get a table. But it was all worth it! Their service was prompt and the food's quality was awesome.

Here's what we ordered:



Potato Salad with Spicy Roe Dressing

You can't go wrong with this choice, the salad was fresh and the potatoes were mixed well with the right proportion of mayonnaise!



Salmon Sashimi

Tako Sashimi

A must have when dining in a Japanese restaurant. Both salmon and tako sashimi were fresh. What surprised me most was how the tako slices were generously big compared to those served elsewhere. It was crunchy without being chewy at all. Will definitely go back for more!



Fried Maki with Spicy Tuna

Ever tried fried maki? Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Even though it's fried, it wasn't oily and it didn't have the rancid taste at all.



Left: Sorry don't remember what it's called. Maki Right: Vegetable Maki

The vegetable maki was nothing to shout about.

Assorted Mushrooms in Clear Butter Soup

Love the combination of both mushrooms and broth but overall it was a tad too salty for me.

Spicy Set: Spicy Squid on Hot Plate, Raw Scallop with Spicy Sauce, Fried Chicken Coated with Wasabi Dressing

I love the fried chicken with wasabi dressing. The rest of the set tasted alright but I wouldn't order it again.

The total bill came up to about $85; Not too bad for a birthday dinner!

After the meal, my parents surprised me with 2 mini birthday cakes! 

Perfect for my sweet tooth. :)

Mini Strawberry Sweetheart cake and Mini Tiramisu from Four Leaves

The end! Do stay tune for more updates real soon!

27 years and counting

I'm turning 27 in a few weeks! 

It sounds like an age that many grandmothers would love to have again but I'm feeling old! 

Then again, I look back through my early 20s and I often ask myself, "What have I achieved that's personal yet satisfying?". I've always wanted to start a blog but being lazy and all, I've never gotten around to do so. However the funny thing is, I LOVE visiting other people's blogs cos it gives me entertainment and tonnes of info on products, food and even travelling tips. I've been travelling a fair bit for the last few years and 90% of my travel plans came from blogs; No kidding!

Thus I would love to be able to contribute back by starting my very own blog to share my experiences in the different aspects of my life as much as possible :)

Alright, this is all for my first post, but cheers to a new beginning of my blog so do stay tuned!

Cheerios,

PetiteFreckles ♥
