Birthday Dinner at Sakura
I turned old the other day. To "celebrate" we went to Sakura for dinner because Kinji does not open on a Sunday, unfortunately...
Shabu Shabu Pork Salad, Fries and Assorted Tempura.
Assorted Nigiri and "Premium" Sashimi
Takoyaki, Takowasa, Soft Shell Crab and Croquettes.
The food was alright. I'm not sure if they are over confident or in over their heads, and I hate to compare but for the price they charge for each dish, the quality does not exactly equate. I do love fries and it has always been a dream that I could get good sushi, fries and cake all in the same place but sadly they could not deliver. You can't just sprinkle a bit of seaweed on generic supermarket frozen chips to "japanify" them and expect us to take you seriously. I was expecting some effort put into the dish, I mean, I would have been a bit less grumbly had they hand cut their own fries and failed because at least they tried... Overall, the company and day was lovely and I can go on about the food but I won't let that ruin my birthday memory. I aged. That was depressing enough....
Happier if it had been at Kinji. oh SNAP!
The good thing is, next year my birthday won't be on a Sunday...

The $10.90 Fries...
They were good. Kind of chewy (the playful kind) and fresh. The sauces were a delight, and I liked the cumin flavouring in the tomato salsa. Was it worth $10.90? in a way no because it was just potato (possibly one and a half), but in saying that I would very likely order it again because it was really good and that makes it worth it right?
Fries make me happy!
Laksa
Eggs Benedict
I ordered a laksa style mussel soup. It was very creamy and tasty without that heavy feeling that laksa sometimes has. Jack was boring and ordered the eggs benedict with bacon. Afterwards we had just enough room for a chocolate drink (I didn't really but you know...) and that concluded our lovely lunch at She Chocolat.
Birthday Tart
Almond Tofu with Fruit Salad
It's my baby sister's birthday today! I did intend on making the cake but the chance of me being lazy and unmotivated was very high so instead, we ordered a birthday tart from Yahagi. Along with the tart we also had a refreshing almond tofu that my dad made the night before (the tofu... not the canned fruit).
Happy Sweet 16 Baby Sis!
