I've been procrastinating on this post for so long because so much happened. I'm so grateful for all the birthday wishes I got (still getting them wow) on Sunday.
So, my birthday was on October 5th and from my previous post I said that the people from the Chiba trip celebrated with me (as well as those dining and working at Aston's at the time):
And on Friday my mum and her friends baked me a rainbow cake (as a rehearsal for one of her friends' kid's birthdays oops):
Which, I actually helped frost my "birthday cake" *laughcry emoji*
And then on Saturday Wen Mei and Trina came over! They actually booked me and planned this, I'm really touched :') we did absolutely nothing but eat pizza and make jelly and watch things - on our own laptops *laughcry emoji* kids nowadays!! Well, we watched How To Get Away With Murder together, which is was great, because our tastes vary and we don't watch the same thing all the time. The show is awesome so far, though!! 15/10 would recommend.
They got me Pokémon Emerald!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly so touched, I've been harping on about my brother losing my copy of Emerald (also a birthday present) in Japan the first time we went. As for the yoghurt, well, I adore yoghurt in almost all its forms. They got me a Kuroko keychain too, as if I don't have enough of him already which is super duper.
Y'all will just have to deal with sucky shots by me.
Cheesy crust and my weird veggie pizza that no one else ate. Yum.
Sunday! Happy birthday to me :D At midnight I received tons of birthday messages and wishes and my mum posted collages on insta :')
Wen Mei slept over and I actually woke up before her wowow. She left and my family and I went to some swanky beachside restaurant for birthday lunch.
They sang me a birthday song!!!!!!
Cake was good, but not for the price.
The only photo I took myself. Pretty, though dim.
For the food and the price, not worth another visit. For the view, yes, please do!! There's a swimming pool and a lounge and all the fancy things so I'd go to take photos :) After that I went to meet Yanta and Debbie for dinner. We already delayed it for an hour or so for my lunch and yeah it was late. Yanta was even later for once, and he wasn't responding to all our messages (for two hours) so we got worried. Turns out he was sleeping all along >:(((((
Yanta's selfie skills really suck.
My "birthday cake."
Then on Monday I went to La Marelle with Imren (birthday girl!), Atikah, Sean and Rochele. Will post about it another time, though. After that I went for another "birthday" celebration with my family :D They bought me three Zinc bags and we went for Kiseki buffet. They think they're cute. (They are.)
Kiseki buffet is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so busy eating that I didn't take any photos at all. The sashimi is super duper über wonderful!!!!!!!!! 20/10!!!!!!!!! $20 for weekday lunch, $36 for weekend dinner. Not a bad price for its quality. Weekends include the crab for the extra money, I think.
We had a reservation and this was our table number. Good table!!!!! Near the salmon sashimi, heh heh.
Our table.
This was our view :P They had balcony tables but I think our location was the most strategic.
My sister actually liked the soba. Which is pretty amazing, because she's the pickiest eater.
A whole mountain of wasabi. One of the most terrifying sights I've seen in a while.
They had a whole mountain of sashimi when we went in! Obviously I was too busy to take photos.
I don't even want to know how many plates of this I took.
Pizza! My brother said someone snagged the whole pizza when he was about to take a slice. They have baked rice, too.
Chawanmushi!!!!! I am judgy about few things, but this is one of them. 15/10 would eat again! It's not the most amazing in terms of toppings, but the actual chawanmushi itself was wonderful. It wasn't holey or dry but silky and I don't even want to know how many servings of this I had. Too many.
The sign is super cute. I think they put this for the salmon heads.
Their bread pudding was great! Not the best I've eaten, but then, it was made by Yanta's mum, so I don't think it can be beat.
Dessert time!!! Their chocolate fondue was pretty good.
Tofu cheesecake. Interesting flavour.
Gelato. They had Mango, Matcha, Yuzu, Chocolate, and...
!!!! I was too much of a scaredy-cat to try this but my mum did, so I took a bit of hers. It's not bad, but I wouldn't try it again. There's the wasabi flavour and the milkyness of gelato, but not the shoot-through-your-nose-ness of actual wasabi, if that makes sense.
Free flow of toppings, though I didn't have any. My sister's favourite part.
My plate! They had macarons too, but they ran out too fast for my mum to snap a shot of them. It was really good! Not too sweet or dry with passable feet(? I forgot what it's called).
Me being too full.
15/10 must must for lovers of Japanese cuisine.
We ate for an hour and rested for the next two hours or so. When we finally got off our butts to walk, this is what happened:
My sister re-enacting "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" while I just flopped at the back. So full and so tired.
It kinda looks like my brother is chatting me up.
All in all, it's been one of the best birthdays I've had and I wanna thank everyone who wished me or gave me presents or spent time with me. <3 <3
