Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai

Yesterday we had a super good dinner at Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai.

We ordered a set dinner that consists of stewed pork belly and bittergourd. The pork belly simply melts in your mouth (though can see the fats... but still very soft). This set comes with the purple sweet potato ice-cream-very yummy...

The other set is the soba w seaweed and okinawa seasoned rice. The soba is very chewy but the rice is rather disappointing (a bit like the pumpkin mushroom rice that we cooked last sunday). It also comes w the okinawa fried donut-a bit dry for my liking. It also comes w pork rib and pork belly but not as soft as the first set.

Both sets come with this peanut tofu (which is cold n comes w sweet sauce)-I like it very much, highly recommended.

The deco is very old school (wooden planks and old posters and photographs). The service staffs dun reallie understand english (guess they are japanese bah :P) coz when we said she can clear the tray, she walk away to clear the other table. haha.

Overall, highly recommended.

Old Times

Met up with a few of KPMG pple these few weeks. Discussing about our old days and how time flies.. been 5 years since I joined KPMG... How we worked through the night for some special audit and how our late nites always end up with much fun n laughter... n the challenge of who is the winner (the one who stayed the latest) - n we even had macdonalds breakfast at 4am in our office on the 3rd level of Hong Leong building... haha.. those were the fun days.

Somehow I miss those days even though there were many late nites and weekends spent in office... I guess it is the people that makes the difference.

Xmas Party

My landlord organise a Xmas party on Xmas day-plus we do not have to do any cooking... coz we have our super domestic helper & of coz the party organiser (i.e. landlord) who are in-charge of the cooking ...hahaa...

We had a roast chicken, wholemeal pasta, salad, meatballs w cranberry sauce and pita bread pizza. Too much food and in the end, almost the whole chicken was fed to my 2 boys.. haha... lucky them...

Had a wonderful time catching up w friends n relatives.. esp char... been almost a year or more since we last met... my new year resolution: spend more time w friends!
