While waiting for wenyang at City hall mrt station, I saw this caucasian couple trudging out of the mrt with luggages and backpacks while looking at it as if trying to locate a place. Out of kindness (yeah right), I moved forward.
Me: Hello, do u two need any help?!
Couple: Yah, we are trying to find out where Marina mandarin hotel is, do you know how we can get to it?
Me: *recalls* Isn't that at Orchard road? (it was only after a few hours later I realised that I had confused Marina mandarin hotel which was inside marina square shopping centre with Meritus mandarin hotel opposite Heeren.)!
Couple: But the map says its near City hall mrt...
Me: Let me take a look at the map!
After a 20s lapse...
Me: You two mind taking a taxi to the hotel? It's quite far if you travel via citylink to the hotel, not forgetting about your heavy luggages. You just need to take the escalator and hail a cab outside. But be careful not to be scammed by the taxi drivers. They always scam foreigners!!! (remember the recent news reports?)
Couple: *laughs*
Me: The trip should cost around a maximum of $4-$5 (I think so?).
Couple: Thank you!
Me: Welcome!
Wy arrived and we proceeded promptly to the fountain, cos we were late already. Going there at 2.30pm isn't really comforting.. Missed F.I.R's performance. Was relieved to find out that they're still there signing albums but Real wasn't there, only Faye and Ian.
Quite a lot of F.I.R fans..
Here are some of the photos I've taken.
F.I.R damn good la, posing for fans to spam photos. LOL.
After the session, Wy told me he saw Peifen (who was the emcee for the autograph session) walk in the other direction. Instantly, we followed her as I wanted to take a photo with her. She walk damn fast la.. and she was talking on a phone. So had to wait for her to "kup" her phone before I tap her shoulder... Finally! The long-awaited photo has arrived!!!
TADA!!! :DDD
We then went to eat at a Japanese restaurant. Called Azabu Sabo. Not bad leh..got free flow of green tea (me=cheapskate)!! Cost a total of $35.75 for our meal.
My free flow of green tea. The dark green spot in the base symbolises "quality green tea" to me. LOL.
Omelette Curry ($13.80).
The egg is smooth.. Beef curry is fantastic although I wish there could be more beef slices in it. Rice is of good quality.
Salad which had a tinge of wasabi in it. Not too over-powerful and I finished it. Greens are good for your health. :)
Ah. This soup really is amazing. It's unlike those cloudy miso soup which tastes very salty. This one is light, steamy and non-salty at all. Perfect combination. :D
Me enjoying my omelette curry. :)
Mattcha Zen ($7.80). The dango (Japanese for rice-ball) is very chewy plus the red-bean is nice to bite into, although I prefer (greatly) red beans when they're in paste form. The green tea ice-cream don't really have a green-tea taste but more of a "condensed-milk" taste to me. :/
Ichigo Zen ($8.80).
Wy enjoying his Ichigo Zen.
Conclusion: Not bad a restaurant, can be considered for a next visit! :)
