After school, we went to Dhoby Ghaut for dinner. Originally, I wanted to have western food but after walking around the new side of Plaza Sing, we found a really cosy Jap place called Japanese Hand Drip Coffee. We decided to eat there cause we were starving and the food there looked pretty good.
After deciding what we wanted to order, we realised that the service system there works a little differently. Instead of the usual raise your hand and wait for someone to come to you, they had a little remote with a button for you to press to request for service. Kind of work like the ones you have in a plane. I thought that this was pretty interesting and useful as well. Have you ever had a really awkward situation when you wave your hand around but no one comes to you? So you end up raising your hand for quite a long time and feeling like a complete idiot. Hahaha always happens to my friends when we order so yay to this restaurant.
In case you're wondering how the remote looks like, I snapped a picture of it!
One of the first dishes that we noticed was their souffle and french toast. At the entrance, there was a mini french toast dish made out of clay. Well I think it was clay. But anw, it looked really interesting as it was served on a pan and was cut up into little pieces with each piece stacking on top of each other. The souffle caught our attention because that was what the lady next to us ordered. It was HUGE. It doesn't look that tasty when she ate it though but we wouldn't know cause we didn't get it in the end hahaha.
Even though we wanted to try out both dishes, we thought that it would be a little too much for us to finish. We both ordered the same dish in the end and said that only if we're still hungry after then we will order dessert
Hoshino Pot Baked Curry Rice
Here's what we both had! It's hands down one of the best I've ever had. Even Jolene says so too and everyone knows she's a picky eater. It was served piping hot with cheese oozing around. Jolene actually asked the waitress if there was any meat in it because from the picture in the menu, we could only see cheese, eggs, sausage and broccoli. So she replied that there was beef and pork in it. We both assumed that the meat was hidden underneath the cheese, just like other baked rice but when it came, it was actually minced beef under the cheese. Kind of like a lasagne. In fact, this dish reminded me of a lasagne just that it's rice. It was really delicious and the portion was just right! It might look like a small portion but after eating for awhile, Jo and I both realised that we weren't even halfway done with the dish yet hahaha!
After dinner, we walked over the The Grand Cathay to collect our tickets.
It was free seating, unlike Smurfs 2 sneak preview, so we were a little lost when we entered the cinema haha! We were just like urhhhh where do you want to sit. Eventually we managed to get pretty good seats right in the middle of the cinema.
Throughout the movie, I kind of was falling asleep. Not cause the movie was boring but I've been staying up late the past few days and have been getting really little sleep. Not helping that our school's timetable was really long every single day. However, in the middle of the movie, I suddenly felt so awake cause the plot got interesting. More of cute I would say. All the foodimals were toooo cute! For those who have watched it, my favourite characters were the marshmallows, strawberries and potato hippos! I felt like I was watching Pokemon at one point of time just that in food form haha! The movie was about 1.5h long so I didn't get home too late. Going out for brunch ltr with Jolene! On a side note, look out for 2 more outfit posts on TAL soon (:
