Well, didn't get to write much for the last few weeks, so perhaps it's time to update on what I've been doing... Hmm... 3 weeks ago I went out with my family to Waraku, a Japanese restaurant. We went to the branch at Central, recommended previously by friends. It was good. Not an up-scale high-class restaurant, but the food was authentic and the price was not high either. Worth a repeat visit.

Just this previous weekend met up with some of the other Singaporeans who studied in Japan as a Malaysian friend of ours was stopping over on his way home from Tokyo. Being informed of the gathering only the night before, I blithely assumed we would be eating neither Japanese or local cuisine, only to find out that due to our organizer's desire to finally prove that our local fare can match Malaysia's, we were to lunch at Straits Kitchen at the Hyatt hotel. We started on the buffet without asking the price, and only found out the true cost upon payment. To sum it up - the food was great, but the price was high.

By the way, the economy must be doing well this year. Just look at the masses that descended upon the mooncake fair at Takashimaya...
