Washioku for Lunar New Year

Had the usual CNY eve reunion dinner with my siblings this evening. Spent 3 hours with them chatting about old times etc etc. The dinner this year was not so delicious as my sister-in-law who was the cook resort to cooking mostly healthy stuff. The dishes either lacked salt or spices etc. Nevertheless, she is still a great cook!

Yummy food from Tokyo, Japan

Endless nice food from Japan...Yup, I just feel like flying to Japan this spring or summer to satisfy my hunger for washioku.

Sashimi and sushi from Japan

My relatives who are touring Japan WhatsApp me the above photos. The sashimi and sushi looked delicious. It's nothing like having these dishes in Japan especially during the cold winter months where the fishes are caught and prepared fresh.

Tempura ebi lunch

We bought 8 pieces of fairly large prawns at $13 from FairPrice and cooked them. The taste was authentically Japanese as the flour we used was from Japan. Accompanied the tempura ebi was a bowl of Japanese white rice and mushroom tempura.

Ramen

Dinner was at AMK Ave 10 (Chong Boon Food Center). It was pig's trotter (tu kar), pork ribs & soup (bakut teh), tau kuah with veggie and a bowl of rice. All for $17. Not a bad dinner but may be high in cholesterol and fats.

Lutein and Eng's wanton mee

Had to travel all the way to Katong to get the Lutein capsules. Not only are they expensive ($38.50 each bot) but limited in supply (40 mg). There are only 2 places where you can buy them and they are at Katong V and Orchard Road. Anything less than 40 mg may not be effective for the eyes. Google "Lutein" and you would know why is it good for the eyes/vision.
Since I was at the Katong area, I headed for my favourite Eng's wanton noodles ($5.50). Must confess it was a let-down. The noodles are no longer soft and tasty. It was served lukewarm too.
