Aoki

Tomato salad, wintermelon

My Chiraishi set - lotsa tamago, mackerel, tuna, fatty tuna, sea urchin, squid

loved the gorgeous deep purple blue pickles..

Mummy's sushi set.. which I finished the tamago for her;)

Home made mochi, sweet corn ice cream, plum jelly.

Finally! Post call with one re-adm for isch gut (thank goodness no more chop..nothing much left anyway!!) and another at 3am for post gast (needed rrt the next am and lotsa tropes...) but other than that found a new ritual of digging up old papers in the cso to read after the night rounds..which feels like a walkabout not like the paper entries in pas...and the reg cooks!! gosh...pasta/meatballs/shrooms.. its a real luxury to have a home (or pantry..) cooked meal, this warrants another entry on its own once i figure out how to connect the phone to the com..yes kels..getting more tech savvy here okay... esp since this is the 2nd home cooked pasta meal on call..amazing anaesths ;)

anyways, with post call at 1030am (super shiok) napped abit before heading out with mom with an excuse to pick up obagi stuffs from taka, we ate at Aoki (Shaw Center), a meal i've promised her since xmas (but not successful cos Aoki doesnt open on Sundays). Appetiser was a tomato salad and a wintermelon salad (which initially my untrained buds thought was radish)..prefer the dressing at Tatsuya though. Mummy had the sushi set (though she was tempted by the $100 omakase...) and was eyeing my chiraishi... in the end we shared 50/50..she really liked mine.. the tuna was so fresh! so red and translucent.. the colour of fresh fish is really gorgeous. This is probably one of the freshest chiraishi I've had..quite enjoy the dices of fresh sashimi atop the sesame rice (though the bed of rice was too little....).

Desserts were also an interesting affair with plum jelly, sweet corn ice cream, home made mochi. But of cos as the day wore on we had to stop by for ice kachang/chengtng...mum was just looking for a pair of black shoes while receeing all the stuffs i bought in new york and the singapore version prices...just to feel good...haha. Face shop stocks a eraser like eye make up pen and a cheaper version of benefit's browzings which I cant wait to try! And orchard central's black market and editor's market was a little too interesting for street/office wear..
