DEAR's 29th Birthday!

my dear hubby is still so young while my 1st digit is 3 he is still at 2! and he very yaya! cos it will be like that! after school went home to shower and change into one of my new top! love the new top and gx was in his new topman top i chose. he looked good in the blue! glad he dare to try and he liked it too!

drove down to ann siang street and found the place that i chose for dinner. WACHA... a very small place, longuish shophouse space, the front of the shop sells japanese laquer ware, the mid to the back of the shophouse was for people to have meals and drinks. gx chose the sashimi course which was 40 and i chose the tea leaf set which was 38. Then we learnt that we should order sake to go with food 1st then tea with dessert... cos we wanted to order tea first then enjoy sake later... a lesson learnt from this meal! jap takes sake 1st then tea!

we didnt order a bottle thus it was served in a bigger laquer bowl with sprout and poured into tiny almost saucer but taller in height cups to drink from. the place is not big but i didnt expect the more modern sittings thou. in that blog i jus read about the place and saw a foto of the appetiser basket... thus i was surprise with the modern setting. interesting table cos it make the place looked so green and friendly! but the seats not very good for eating thou! but still something different and nice. we had our food served on the flat laquer tray.

I found this blog that i have been reading during the one week holiday. so that how i found this place.Now i prefer and like small places as in the number the place can accomodate is small thus less noise if no noisy crowd and i find it more exclusive not over crowded! more personalise service! like cookie museum... anyway i booked dinner at 6pm got ther at 5.45pm cos 1st: wanted to see the place in daylight and then experience the nite 2nd: i get starving by 5+pm. i have very early dinners when i dun go back to mums! you can see the shadow of a jap lady mayb the owner in a kimono talking to me. the 6 little appetiser was served in a 2 tier little bamboo basket.


the gallery of the food we ate!




the food some interesting cos never try before, the usual like in the appetiser, the egg roll was really good, the sashimi was fresh, the gratin i had was with hotdog and 1st time the whole gratin colour is green cos mines green tea set its all green! but its nice. the only thing i didnt like was the green tea soba. lucky the fried brown rice with little shrimps are good! and of cos its got green tea thou not green in colour! they added tea leaf and very fragrant!

Just as we finish by sunset, the candles were lit, althou these dishes that look small.... the 2 courses we had was filling! we had ginger sorbet and greentea cheesecake that comes in the set. the ginger was hot at first but somehow there is sweetness after several teaspoons! as for the greentea cheesecake, gerald had it first cos his bdae ... the top layer had macha power and very good quality thus bitter! but after several spoons... the sweetness surface and its pretty good jus wished it had some jap red bean to go with it! but i stil like it. there are different kinds of green tea. green tea with roasted brown rice, and lots more. we ordered Gykuro a sweet kind of greentea, light in taste.


present time and i got the present in 4 outer plastic bags! he been guessing by the wrapper and bag the present when i gave him the belt, so i got it in bodyshop, topshop and then sanrio bag!
he say he was gog to wrap my present in newspaper... he tot it was cufflinks that he kept hinting me! but i got him a keypopuch and i got this with 30% off at isetan 2 weeks ago. its just for keys no slots so its sleek!

we finished dinner by 7.30pm and cos we were so full we can't even go for drinks which i had planned! then we drove out and stop by ted to say hi since he haven seen them for so long! left and headed to marina south pier... a new pier but so quiet and the drinking place at the roof top was so small but its a good place for people who wans quiet... but so full so we jus took a look at the place and left heading home... but i suggested to stop at united square for coffee cos i was thristy! went starbuck had a huge ice mango passion fruit tea... picked parents in-law and headed home for cake!

sil got gx his cake from rive, a nice chocolate cake! and guess he had his wish heard! i didnt tell sil what he prob wanted but somehow she got him cufflinks! nice and easy to match a pair of black cufflinks! and lucky gx had so many friends who remembered his bdae!
