Mother's Day @ Hyotan, Subang Jaya

intended to bring mom to Ryu Men Tei, and juz found out they have changed name to Gin Ryu Tei.. this proves it has been a looooong time since i went there.. but we ended up in Hyotan, which is further down the block coz the first few japanese restaurants in front were all packed and people actually waited outside to wait for their turn..

when we spotted Hyotan, there's no one queuing outside.. but when we went in, it was full house.. and this waiter told us there's a table upstairs.. and we thought, "weee, lucky us!"

we waited awhile for them to clean the table.. happily, we sat and browse thru the menu.. looks good... we ordered Sukiyaki Nabe set (forgot to take a picture of it), Chirashi Sushi, Yakitori Moriawase, Sushi Moriawase C and Green Tea Monako.

sigh.. however, as it was mother's day... the place started to get more crowded.. and we waited 1hr before our 1st dish came.. then waited another 30mins for the next and etc.. we were there from 730pm till 1030pm.. 3hrs!! and some of them actually have no patience and they had to go and collect their own food from the counter.. well, same goes to our last 2 dishes.. we couldn't wait any longer.. sheeshh.. but the food was good.. slightly expensive but i'd still like to try Gin Ryu Tei the next time.. wonder how they've changed.. hehe..

De-Stressing Nite Out

janice called for girls-nite out aka de-stressing nite out.. i was down wif flu, cough n slight fever, but i was itching for alcohol :P in fact, it was supposed to be a sleepover but due to my condition, i preferred goin home after alcohol.. it was indeed a fun nite.. but i slept thru my saturday n sunday after tt.. hehehe...

janice killed mr spongebob squarepants to de-stress i guess...
hahahahaha...

we started the nite out by having dinner at rakuzen, desapark city..

my sukiyaki pot & beef... yummy..

we drove past zouk twice, went thru the heritage, make an almost illegal u-turn before deciding to stop at poppy wif a bottle of barcardi lemon for the nite.. it was more of a "high" nite rather than drunk...
the girls started singing all sorts of songs, including the secondary skool song in the car even before we reach poppy.. well, we ended up also singing in the car all the way home.. de-stressing indeed :D
