Merry Christmas

It was Christmas, but we didn't get very excited this time round, because both of us were quite sick to go anywhere special. So we just shopped in and around Bugis Junction and feel very broke at the end of the day.

We started our day at 6 pm, sharing a single Calm Chowder set at The Soup Spoon to whet our appetites. It came complete with an Iced Lemon Tea and a Mushrooms Sandwich.

Then we made a round trip along the snack stalls at basement where we decided to pick up one of these Fresh Cut Fries.

Crab Fries

The Crab Fries emerged winner as it battled with the also deliciously looking Seafood Fries. For first time, we could try this seemingly weird combination of fries bathed in crab meat and chilli sauce. Individually, the fries were fresh and thick with some crispy skin still intact, while the crab is indeed real and meaty with a nice spicy touch. However, when combine together, it almost spoils all the goodness. I would suggest the next time you order this, request that they separate the sauce and fries.

We continued shopping for clothes at the holiday sales, buying a pair of jeans ($89.90) and a shirt ($53) at Levi and Top Shop respectvely.

As hunger came to dawn upon us, we visited Sakae Teppanyaki. There we had a Turkey Set and a Beef Set. Sadly, we don't have any pictures to show you because we were afraid that it's going to be quite irritating for the rest of the diners, you know, in a Teppanyaki Setting, everyone shares a single table and we were already coughing germs around!

Each set comes with salad, a bowl of rice, miso soup and roughly had about 3 meat and 2 vegetable dishes. In all we tried their turkey, beef, cod fish, (duck/goose?) liver, scallops, chawamushi, tofu steak, mushrooms and bean sprouts. Doesn't that sounds like a lot? All hot, fresh and juicy. I would definitely like to go there another time to try e other stuff on the menu.

Highlight of the day: L robbed me of $187 (discounted) when she bought a pair of Emporio Armani shades on our way back to the MRT station.
