Tuesday dinner

Tuesday dinner with my Mum before we visit grandmum at TTSH. Yes, grandmum admitted to TTSH again after groaning in pain on his abdomen therefore the doctor advise her to do a thorough check-up. But on a bright side, she is recovering well, at least she is able to feed herself and also to pick up some light exercise. 
. .
Headed down to Square 2 for dinner and ended up in Pasta De Waraku. They offer a range of Italian-Japanese fusion pasta and pizzas. The restaurant is decorated with several displays of their pastas looking yummy! This outlet is located near an escalator heading down to B1 and a newly opened cafe, Viet Cafe.



The last you would expect from a Japanese restaurant is pasta and pizza. But Pasta de Waraku is a Japanese casual pasta and cafe restaurant. They offer a pretty intensive menu ranging from pasta, pizza to rice and other side dishes.








Menu categorize in Pastas, Baked rice, Pizza and desserts. There are alot of choices to choose from for their pastas. We had a hard time flipping through the menu back and forth.



Mum decided to order one of their dinner set so for soup we cannot choose, they only have corn soup, so creamy but was not served hot. Its kinda warm. The set also comes with a salad that contain tomato & lettuce with wafu dressing. 


Ice lemon tea that was included in the dinner set too (:


Out of curiosity, I decided to try their matcha milk-shake ($6.80)
Its kind of expensive and I would expect a strong flavour of green tea but unfortunately, all I taste was the whipped cream. A milky kind of drink.


This is the only main that we ordered and shared. It came with 2 portion. One with a choice of pasta and the other will a choice of salmon/ chicken/ steak/ pork chop. 
For pasta, we had the classic Carbonara Waraku Style which i thought was something different as compared to the normal pastas we normally have. There was a lot of bacon within the thick sauce and the nicely poached egg in the middle took the whole dish to a whole different level when mixed in ($24.90)


Last but not least, this is what I am excited to share! I don't have to travel to BKK/ Japan for Shibuya Honey toast ($12.90)! Hehehe. The bread is so tender and succulent and buttery that the moment I tasted it, this has got to be the most perfect bread I’ve ever tasted. I was a bit hesitant because it’s a thick slab, but slicing it in the middle gave me a jolt of surprise. It’s surprisingly tender, and a melt in your mouth experience.What make it good will be a scoop of vanilla ice cream and the fruits laying around the toast bread. This sweet dessert will be too full for 2 person, mum and I had a hard time clearing the plate.


Service was excellent despite it being full house, which also brings me to my point about making a reservation to avoid disappointment. And if you do not get a table, fret not because they have not one, but two outlets.

Sunday with Jojo aunt & 2D1N Soju Bang

 Decided to stay home on a Sunday noon with boy at his place because both us really need to rest for consistently heading out of the house to look for good cafes or window shopping. I mean you don't really have to spend money to keep each other occupied. Furthermore, it seemed long that I had a long chat with his Mum. We talked and shared everything under the tree, hours and hours of non stop chatting/ laughing. From her past/ to her happy happening/ to boy's sister affair. It feels good to have someone who you can relate to. Aunty Jo says: "I talked more of my private matters to you than my own daughter and son." 


Arrived at boy's house with food served by his mother. And YUP, I helped her out for some of the dishes. I stir-fried the vegetable under her guidance.




She says this herbal chicken is good for health so I spammed all the Chicken breast. And subconsciously, I used my finger to peel off the chicken, thinking that nobody is going to continue our food (FYI: His sister haven't had her lunch). Boy was like "Where's my basic etiquette?'' and he laughed at how glutton I am.



Not only having a full bloated tummy filled with food, I saved money for doing my 

Eyebrow Embroidery. Aunt Jo did mask for me and also shaved off some of my untidy eyebrow. Tidy up the end of my eyebrow too. Sorry the picture is too blur to be seen. It looks so much neater and my eyes become bigger and more shaped now. Pardon of my eye bag and also the most 'LEPSA' shirt. I'm actually wearing Boy's NS shirt.



Boy's sister came over with hew new bf and baked this awesome cheese baked rice for us. It was hell delicious. But because im heading to the gym, I restricted to help myself and just scoop one or two spoonful. Coincidently, Jaslyn bf name is also call Zhi wei. The world is really small uh. AHAHAHAHA. 


Next up, met up with Joel and jensin for dinner. I have few friends (unrelated) raving to me about how good this place is, so here I am eventually succumbing to peer pressure and trying it out! To be honest I'm not a fan of Korean cuisine - having tried Seoul Yummy, Seoul Garden and Korean food at hawker centres/ food courts, I've decided it is really not my kind of thing. With the exception of NYP Koufu Korean stall, the rest of it was just a little weird for my taste. Maybe I just haven't been eating the right stuff! So I give Korean food another try.



2D1N Soju Bang may be considered as pop-style amongst South Korean restaurants (heard that from a fellow colleague who is a South Korean) but its authenticity seems to be unquestioned when i saw quite a few Koreans entering the restaurant for dinner.

MENU: 








Looking forward to a large variety of side dishes every time i am in a Korean restaurant, the six sides we had in 2D1N were initially thought to be too little.


This bean paste soup filled with lots of seafood opened up my appetite. With prawns/ clams/ squid/ and potatoes. This bowl definitely make the whole soup more tastier.


Their Spring Onion pancake would make me return back for a second try. Pancake taste like fish cakes though. When i first laid my eyes on this dish, i thought it looked almost like the unforgettable seafood omelette from Changi Village!


Their beef is really tasty. The beef is thinly sliced and the marination is well-done! Bulgogi literally means "fire meat" so it's best served on a stone plate! 





Our bill amounted to $108 which was not okay for ala carte price but okay for such an ambience. Despite the restaurant's popularity, it just isn't for me. I like to sit back and appreciate my food. I may give their buffet a shot.
