Good To See Her Again!

I've not stepped into a Japanese restaurant in Singapore since the overdose in Tokyo. Now that the girlfriend's back in town for a little while and demands to satisfy her cravings for raw fish, it's the perfect reason to put Japanese food back on the regular menu again.

It was apt to have the meal at trusty Tatsuya. I realize that the stomach can't quite do a full omakase anymore. It's either just sushi and sashimi, or sushi and soup. Stomach space has shrunk. I don't need so much food anyway. So chiraishizushi today it was! The girlfriend's looking all fit and trim. She's on this weight loss zeal as well, and also to strengthen, lengthen and tone those muscles. Lovely to see that. While we've twitter, blogs and fb for the regular updates, nothing beats catching up in person. Social media platforms keep us in the know and we can cut straight to the specific topics happening in each other's life that we want to hear more of.

We could use a bit of walk after a heavy lunch. We finished all our rice! She was determined to grab a new pair of sunnies, and found a perfect pair within minutes, along with jewelry too. Kekekekeke. Each time she comes to Singapore, she's totally contributing to our retail sector's revenues. I like shopping with this woman. She's fast and focused! Awesome.

Before the outing ended, we sat down for a caffeine boost and tanked up on antioxidants. She hadn't tried the durian thingies from Goodwood Park Hotel and couldn't resist a durian eclair. I won't be able to tell if it's good since I don't quite take to durians. She used the Puteri Mas durian puffs as a yardstick. When the eclair came, I blinked at it. It was by no means a tiny eclair. It was slightly bigger than palm-size with this thick filling of mushed-up durian. Woah. Quite impressive. She pronounced the durian eclair from Goodwood Park Hotel pretty alright, and resisted tapau-ing a box home.
