When You Meet a Friend~


So~ after a LONG time~ I finally met someone I had not seen for 6 years!! Imagine that?

and he was so kind to belanja this food crazed person lunch!  = D

We met up at Pyramid and I insisted we find a place to sit down quickly~ You see, my friend?
He is TALL and well I....
I am a dwarf~ [purposely never take picture with him] and I wanted a level ground to talk to him.. =D

So~ to lunch!

We had lunch at....(drum-roll) SHOGUN!
Picture from here

Okay, so, I sniffed out the oysters!! oohhh~ Divine things *swoon* , and introduced dear ol' Sharman to them~ Conclusion? Not Bad~~
=P
They looked like this~ I forgot to take pics *malu*

After the oyster starter~ We SERANG!!! haha~ Sharman went beserk with the amount of selection! So did I~ hehe.

First course~ 
Yep, there is a fish head on my plate~ Salmon fish head, and if you are a fish lover AND you love EYEBALLS you would know this is the best! Salmon eyeballs are the most yummy things ever~
 Granted Sharman thought is was strange~

 Do you think it is? or do you love it just like I do *smacks lips*

So I had yummy teriyaki salmon head, cheese baked mussels (like Sharman put it, How can I say no to cheese anything? ) , some yummy lamb ribs, baby octopus, some clams in broth and 'shark fin's soup'.

Next round~

SASHIMI~~ 

The small platter contains some pickled baby octopus, okay let's make this clear, I really like octopus~ 
and there is century egg, salmon, octopus, saba, spicy salmon and some white fish (totally forgot it's name) 

Sharman~ and his platters of sushi and other things

I have to apologize, at this point I forgot to take pics of the food~~ 
*must concentrate on delicious food* 

So for the final round I am going to be using pics from the net~ =P
Shogun had Peking Duck, but since they are a Japanese restaurant, instead of using ordinary popiah skin, they used...

Seaweed
...
..
=.='

It wasn't bad since duck is over powering but soggy seaweed does NOT make good popiah like skin~ Sharman did not like how the seaweed overpowered the duck~ coz the duck and it's sauce was so so GOOD!! *drool*    

then... I mentioned "Hey they even got Chawanmushi!" and to my suprise Sharman went.. "whats that?"

so I got up and took one for him~ After all how can one NOT have that eggy goodness??

Sharman's eggy-fied goodness~

I'm not too sure if he liked it that much~ but I will assume he is now crazy about it ~ =D

Since they had this Arabic cuisine thing going on that day I had TWO things from that area~ 

Kafta Kebab with tzatziki dip
Pic from here

and

Stuffed chicken (at least that's what they call it)
Pic from here

But I am pretty sure it was a delicious Bird~ yummm
I did not like that there were peas in the stuffing but it was still quite good =D

We did not have dessert there for a few reasons:
   1. They stopped playing the music (not that it was fantastic.. but still)
   2. The waiter came while we were mutilating the bird, and asked for payment
 "Can I have the bill please sir?"
  3. They killed the aircond AND lights at the buffet table

But the BIGGEST reason was because the food was all~~

at the NEXT table~

notice how the people are missing?
They went for MORE...

So wasteful..

I couldn't finish the kebab also I felt bad~

But, back to Shogun... I have to say~ 

Semua SEDAP *stupid grin* the food was very very good~

I LOVE THIS PLACE

Thank you for taking me there Sharman!!! You are the best =D 

Okay, so for dessert we jalan jalan sampai si tinggi cakap~ Ey, I never eat Haagen Daz la.. Jom! 

We went..
we sat..
we RAN..

=D

because right across there was BASKINS! 

so, since I was wearing pink, I got a discount! Two jr. Scoops for the price of ONE! 

Sharman said I very aggressive lo~ "I'M WEARING PINK!"

so I got Very Berry Strawberry and Cruchy Latte 
and Sharman got.. Uhm.. some brownie thingy.. 

*happy!*



Yes, Life is sweet when food is good~

So the next time you are up for something good.. or Strange~ Ask me! I've probably had it~~

Which reminds me~ Sharman asked me something I have not found the answer to~ 

WHAT HAVE I NOT EATEN~~ 

o.O 

I.. don't.. Know~~

Help me figure it out guys~

But it is ALL for the love of food!

Till the next meal~
Toodles ~ 



Plain doughnuts and Ice cream~

Okay, So here I am sitting at my desk staring at this blank screen waiting for a sign from my social network life (Yes, I do mean Facebook) after a long ~ I do mean LONG day.


I glance to the left and gaze lovingly at my recently acquired Whispers of Summer.


Whispers of Summer~

Don't you just love the name? It takes me on a little mental holiday, and some hot faraway romance......YUM!

XD

And why am I depending on a mere box of juice to keep me smiling and maintaining my 4 going to 5 disposition?

Simple: I had a trying day.



Most of all, I realised today that food is not necessarily a shared pleasure, it is a necessity to few, pleasure to many individuals but not necessarily shared. Do you know what I mean?

So I went to a restaurant yesterday, I had the soup and salad set which made me really happy. Really happy =D but then, I noticed that my friends did not shared my enthusiasm for the place.. which quickly deflated my pleasure.

Same goes for my love of ice cream and doughnuts.  I LOVE THEM PLAIN.



Yes, I am a freak of nature I love PLAIN doughnuts and ice cream.

There is just something so gratifying when you have these flavours as they come~~







How do you like your food?

And would you still enjoy a meal when no one else is?

Food for thought~~
Till the next meal...

<3 toodles~
