It was the eve of a long weekend last Wednesday as it was Labour Day on Thursday and I am taking a day-off on Friday. Well, initially I thought of going to my office to work but seeing that the causeway would be jam and choke like nobody business in the evening, I decided that it's better I leave earlier. After all, with my notebook, I can work anywhere now and it's approved by my organisation. I find that working from home can be more productive as you are alone and nobody disturb you unlike in office where sometimes, we are called for adhoc meetings or just chit-chats with colleagues and etc. Of course, the bad thing is you cannot find the people to talk to on work related matters and always depended on the phone to call.

I had a productive morning, working non-stop from 9+ till 1pm and I decided to take a break. I went for a Japanese set lunch which consisted of a Shoyu Tonkatsu Ramen and Soboro Don. Both are served in small portion but its still quite filling once you finished both. The broth of the ramen was good but I find the Soboro Don was special. It was served with some slices of egg and some sweet mince meat on the rice,making the small bowl a delicious meal.

I got back home to JB afterwards and continued working after that till almost 6+. I think working from home is not a bad idea but then I don't think I can do it frequently. I feel that I still need to interact with folks else my mind will be filled with work matters. LOL

Have a good weekend!

I thought of giving my wife a surprise by getting her some new clothes after work. Thus, I text her niece who's staying near to my place to help me chose. I thought the clothes and blouses sold here have more varieties than those in JB, especially she was having problems getting some clothes over the last weekend. Before that, I brought my niece for another Japanese food since she's also like it. Well, not a bad idea, have a pretty young lady to accompany me for dinner. LOL

I order a sukiyaki type of meal with slices of raw beef on top, waiting to be cooked in the simmering miso soup. Love this meal since it's kinda cool lately. The climate was air-cond temperature lately, from 20C - 24C. The beef slices, which contained some fat, was awesome when cooked in the miso soup. The soup was getting more and more salty but tasty as it boils under the cooker.


The set also came with a delicious chawanmushi and salmon sashimi. I was having three meals of salmon sashimi lately, as I had two lunch buffets earlier. However, not a bad thing to eat more fish and omega oil.


This sums up a good evening meal before we went to shop for the CNY clothes.

It was a cold night and I felt like having a ramen tonight, after my workout. So, I immediately thought of Men-ichi Ramen in Northpoint as it was closest to me since I am in the north. It's also been a while since I went to this restaurant. I always thought they make good ramens in Singapore, together with some other Ramen restaurants.

Chawanmushi - It's always a must when I visited a Japanese restaurant. Men-ichi makes good chawanmushi, though it's a simple one.

Here's my slurpy Miso chashu ramen!
That fixed my dinner for the night! Healthy and simple!
