Lonely, I am so lonely....

The title sounds sad, right?  But sometimes I really prefer to be alone. 

The date was 11/11/2010, time 2:59 p.m, here I am sitting alone in Sakae Sushi @ Wisma Atrium, Orchard Road.  Agenda: To have lunch.

Previously, I wrote about attending a food tasting event invited by Sakae Sushi as they are launching new items in their menu.  Well, I am here at Wisma's Sakae Sushi outlet to relived the taste of the food. Oh yummy food, so yummy I almost could die and go to heaven....  

First thing, ordered a cup of hot green tea.  Contrary to popular belief, whereby people drink the green tea AFTER their meals, you should in fact drink it BEFORE (maybe half an hr) so that it can work well to block fats/oil.  I am not anyhow saying it okay. 

  

Anyway back to the Sakae Sushi topic.  I took out the Food Menu which was given out to the e-journalists during the food tasting for reference.  I ordered Maguro Carpaccio, Mushroom Kimuchi Tofu, Sakae Candle and Aburi Salmon Teriyaki.  But I am sad that Hotate Sushi is OOS on that day  (>,<).  Seriously, I would love to ordered everything that was stated in the Food Tasting menu but I do not have a stomach as big as the Universe, unless I want to risk bursting thru my seams.  NO WAY. Ironically I am able to finish everything during the food tasting simply becos is smaller in portion..and I was very hungry.. FML!

Now how can you have a food review with no pictures.. so here they are.. Go on, go ahead and salivate in front of your PC screen !! *slurpzz*

Mushroom Kimuchi Tofu - fried beancurd, assorted mushroom with kimuchi sauce

Being a sucker for spicy N sour stuff, I slurp up every bits of it !!!  

Maguro Carpaccio - thinly sliced half tuna with special sauce

Love the texture of it as below is lined with crunchy onion shreds, adds a unique aftertaste

Sakae Candle - avocado, Japanese cucumber, crabmeat, shrimp roe, codfish roe & mayo

**Pls do not consume the burnt pc of thing, which is the wick of the 'candle'**

(is suppose to look like the second pic when lighted up but I was too slow to capture it, so I 'cheated' and took the pic from the menu!)

Aburi Salmon Teriyaki - half broiled salmon with teriyaki sauce

I simply love this as it has a slightly burnt taste to it, weird much =D

UPDATES!

Here are the surprises that I received from Ben & Jerry's Singapore last night (11 Nov 2010)

My goodie bag prize for the 'Wacky Line' contest in Facebook

And 2 pints of ice cream and is in my fav flavours.  

They can read my mind, yes they can! *moo moo with delight*

The ''Wacky Line'' contest is already over for some time now.  But I did not realize that I need to collect my prize at the Chunkfest in September.  Long story short, they deliver my goodie bag and also 2 complimentary pints of the abovementioned ice cream as a way of apology, right to my door step!  I am indeed very impress with their service recovery.  Alrite, cows ( Leon and his colleague) and Woody the Cow (mascot of Ben & Jerry's)...u r forgiven.  hahaha ~ =D    Love ya, Ben & Jerry's   *muacks*

P.S.  I can't wait to savour the ice cream so I open up the Peanut Butter Cup tub and I was shocked that they are not stingy with their ingredients when it comes to making ice cream.

Look at the big chucks of Peanut Butter Cup chocolate, I have a strong feeling it is Reese's Peanut butter cups! I m in moo moo heaven already lah.. damnz..LOL

Here is a picture taken with Woody the Cow (their mascot) together with my niece.  Sorry for the lousy quality picture.  I was too excited to use my own better camera... whatever lah.. LOL

Once again a BIG THANKS to Ben & Jerry's Leon and colleague and Woody the Cow !! Mooo ~~

Halloween @ *Scape Mall - Museum of Horrors

Went for the Halloween event @ the *Scape Mall, Museum of Horrors which was setup by Movie Mania (is an event company) as I had complimentary tickets. Start from 30th Oct - 3rd Nov, 11am - 11pm. (weekend, adult: SGD$12 (below 12y.o SGD$7), weekday,adult SGD$10, below 12 y.o, SGD$5).

Had lots of scary, silly fun there.  Basically screaming; laughing and screaming and more laughing LOL.  U can take lots of pictures with any of the displays, props, monsters, ghouls, ghosts..whatnots... LOL.  To be frank, I was being scare lots of times due to sudden movements by those people or rather the ''undead'' even though I know is not real.. FML.  Hahaha and I laughed at myself for being so timid.  Damn.

Saw some parents who brought in their kids and some of them were scared till crying. Traumatizing!  Seriously speaking, those children who need to be carried in arms or just barely learning to walk, is best they are NOT allowed to go inside.  I even saw people pushing baby prams.  The organizer(s) should set more stringent age limits for kids.

Well that aside, I really did enjoyed myself there with my hubby and friends celebrating my 1st Halloween. 

Below are some of the pictures taken there..

Me and donno who..LOL

I suppose this is where I belong in Hell.  My bodyguards: Cowhead and Horseface

Ah Yen, me and Zhong Kui, the Chinese version of Ghost busters, ironically he is a ghost too.

Oh no ~ 

My ''chopped off'' head together with my ''guts'' and all...Intestinally yours..LOL

Happy Halloween everyone!  Hope u guys enjoyed yours ~ =D  

Cheerios ~

Psst, Do u know that......

Last month on 12th October 2010, a bunch of us e-journalists for Sakae Sushi were invited for a food tasting for their new menu.  Well is not exactly a 'secret mission' BUT we are not allowed to disclose any info pertaining to the food until its official launch date.
