Toddled off to PiuM for J's belated birthday meal. We wisely kept to sake instead of ordering champagne or wine. We weren't foolhardy enough to risk mixing these these starkly different alcohol. Nobody wants to have a hangover nowadays. I lagi don't want another IBS flare, no matter how minor; it's not worth it.
The man and J didn't like the mackerel carpaccio at all. Somehow, they tasted all the fishy-ness. The fish was fine and fresh enough. It wasn't treated well, tbh, it was done without lemon or salt. The oil and the spring onions didn't help to ameliorate the eeeky stink. Had to ask for shoyu to ease the super fishy flavors.
The dumplings (gyoza) were disappointing. They weren't as delicious as the previous times. Luckily the cabbage rolls made up for it. The croquettes were nice. The beef tongue stew and pasta of uni and bottarga, and arrabbiata were still good. We also took a 140-gram fillet of Kagoshima A5 wagyu. Meat this marbled in this weight was best shared among four people.
Dessert across the aisle at Yan Ka Yan (一家人) was impossible. The store now occupies three shop units, and they were all full, and there was long queue for a table. Woah. We detoured to Ah Chew Desserts at Goldhill Shopping Centre instead. It was crowded, but we got a table. The menu is so wide that each of us have plenty to choose from. Dessert totally hit a spot.
