15/10/2013 Sec Sch classmate gathering: Koh Grill + KBox + Saveur

Met the following ex-classmates to celebrate Sharon's birthday, which falls on 21 Oct, in advance on Hari Raya Haji:

1. James
2. YB
3. Sharon
4. Jesslyn

Was supposed to meet at JE platform at 12 pm, cannot be late coz Koh Grill only allow maximum 10 mins grace period. I was a bit on rush, so I took bus to lakeside after running some errands (threw trash into recycling bin and deposited cheque), still managed to reach on time, earlier by 3 mins. Surprisingly YB was earlier than me! Haha, but Sharon and Jess were a bit slightly late.

The MRT was very crowded and everywhere were foreigners, how pathetic! Doesn't feel I'm in Singapore. I still can vividly remember last time go out was quite a breeze, MRT not as this crowded and mostly locals, not to mention the trains are travelling faster. Need some breathing space!

We reached Koh Grill however wasn't impressed by the service there. Made reservation a few days ago and they could only provide 4 seaters?! We have 5 persons leh, understand if we were just walk-in customers, but having took the trouble to book, at least give 6 seaters la. That aside, we also encountered some difficulty in ordering food. Understand the outlet was very busy during lunch time on a public holiday, but if you don't clear the existing diners, how to make vacancies for the next customers? But anyway, a small rant here...

Food wise, I find the Garlic Chaahan (garlic fried rice) was nice, but the portion was pathetic small. =.= $5 leh, could have a much bigger portion if ordered from tze char stall. I like Shiok!!! Maki, Shiok!!! 2nd Gen Maki and Suriyaki. The salmon was grilled until very nice nice before they were added to the maki itself. 2nd gen was the prawn version one, ok la, it's still very nice! Suriyaki was a soupy dish with pork and onions and some glass noodles... Tasted like a blanded version of the Korean Jjimdak (찜닭). Lol... James had a beef set, so I didn't tasted his one. As for my Katsu Curry Rice, it would have been better if the curry was served warm, mine was cold! As such, the taste couldn't be brought out so immediately liao.

吃飯前拍一張!

蒜頭炒飯,很香很好吃但小份又貴!

我的日式豬扒咖哩飯
咖哩稍微冷了一些
如果是溫溫的咖哩端上來,肯定很好吃的

Suriyaki
賣相普普通通,其實味道還不錯喔

個人頗為喜愛的壽司之一:Shiok!!! Maki
這是第一代壽司,三文魚拿去烤後再淋上特製cheese
烤味好香啊!
美味百分百!

也是我蠻喜歡的壽司:Shiok!!! 2nd Gen Maki
與第一代的差異是這個是有加入炸蝦
烤味就稍微遜色一些些,但還是不錯的 ^^

Sharon wanted to look for perfume, guess once one's start working, he/she is more willing to spend. I'm the opposite, I try not to spend on unecessary stuff haha. Example I decided not to upgrade iPad 2, maybe will wait for 1-2 years later ba. It's still running well though. Anyway, while the girls were looking at perfume, I chatted with James about jobs and careers. Really have a hard time finding a suitable job leh... T.T

Next, we went to scape. Initially the group wanted Play Nation to have some fun with console games, but sadly it was full house. We moved to Kbox instead, but it's more expensive. Karaoke in SG is a luxury activity, a session on weekend afternoon could cost about $30! 貴死人了…… Luckily, it wasn't that expensive - $19 for 3 hour session, just that no drinks/tidbits provided. Gone were the days where we would visit Kbox at JEC or Selegie and sang from 2 pm till 7 pm for only $11! I remembered this price very clearly coz always go there for some singing session.

The room also pathetic, 5 persons squeezing into a small room where the sofa is only one side length and it's struggling to take in 5 buttocks. Not L or U shaped sofa lor... In the end I sat on the stools provided lol. Sang a number of new songs, which the rest totally didn't knew these nice songs exist lol!



難得合照!

我還出糗,感嘆以為王心凌有180公分那麼高!原來SharonJames在講羅志祥,真的是雞同鴨講/斷章取義。

After Kbox, the group decided to check out the newly opened Krispy Kreme at Tangs. 打死我都不會在這裡買甜甜圈,一個$2.60的天價真的讓我望而卻步!$2.50已經可以吃一盤雞飯了好不好~

James commented his BTO costed him close to $500k! Wah, half a million for a HDB unit really not cheap. 看來以後開銷還真的要慎重規劃了。

Then we moved to Saveur for dinner. It was a small restaurant serving French cuisine located at ground level of Far East Plaza. The chicken set meal I had was so small until we thought it was a starter dish... But it's also the cheapest among all the main courses we ordered. The rest was ok, tasted good and looked interesting to me la.

Saveur's Pasta
沒記錯的話,價格是$4.90
很小份卻很精緻
精緻到五顏六色的外形
讓你不捨得吃掉它!

Duck main course
 這道超過$10的鴨肉餐
烤鴨肉不會過硬,反而是軟軟的,增加味覺喔!

Seabass main course
中間那塊是魚肉來的
賣相就真的還蠻普通的說

Beef main course
本身不吃牛肉關係,所以沒吃到這道牛肉餐
不過因為賣相好看,所以也拍起來!

Chicken main course
它最便宜,所以是最小份的主食了
我們以為是前菜呢!T.T
但好才味道不錯,所以還是及格!

甜點Brûlée
並不是我吃過最好吃的brûlée

On 334 way home, YB was talking about the insurance she highly recommend me to take up to have basic coverage. 老實說,大學畢業後踏入社會不止找工作那麼簡單,其實有很多工作以外的東西都需要知道。保險是其中一個,其他的包括屋子、結婚生子、公積金、投資(?)。接下來的路是一條很漫長的路要走,一直到退休為止……
