Tajiyama Yakiniku at Vivocity

Wuwu... Yesterday I had a big hole in my wallet. I will calculate how big the hole is... well... Gotta thank Xin yesterday for accompanying me to Queensway Shopping Centre to make and help me to choose the design of my specs... Well I trust girl's choice more than mine, so probably next week when I get my new specs I will look like... Andy Lau???!!! HAHAHAHA ~~~ Oh the specs I think no brand de, either that or no name brand de, cos the frames + transition lens cost only... 275 bucks. CHEAP!!! Oh wait. I mean... EXPENSIVE!!! AHH!!! Oh well I need a new pair of specs so this money cannot be saved...

Then after making specs we went for dinner at... Vivocity. Wuwu what a place to choose... After Wednesday's BBQ with Shayla I wanna eat more BBQ stuffs, so we went to... Tajiyama Yakiniku. It's at first floor beside Shabuya's Shabu Shabu, never try the food there before so go and try... I guess the 2 of us are pretty hungry on that day(either that or we 2 just wanna eat and not care about the expenses). We ordered... ALOT. Yes alot. Weirdly though... we finished them all. YES ALL OF THEM. Japanese BBQ foods are probably my love this month. Too bad ce and kint did not come to join us (what were they doing with hamster foods in Holland Village?).

Well I don't like to write, so I will let the pictures do the talking... again. HAhahahaHA~


Xin with her camera. She toupai me!!!(And I counter-attack)
Xin Pic 2. Where is she taking...

Xin Pic 3. Again where is her camera pointing...

Oh the... black pig's pork belly. Gyukaku's pork belly taste much better than Tajiyama's though.

The 3 seafood dishes we order. Ika, Scallop and Dory cod fish. I just wanna say 1 thing... The FISH is the MAIN attraction of the meal. It's SUPER fresh and SUPER delicious and SUPER yummy... but then 5 slices of fish cost 12 bucks. The Ika... well, taste normal frankly, though dipped with the japanese sweet or salty sauce it's still delicious~~~ And the scallop... I love the scallop here more than the ones at Gyukaku, the scallop taste is stronger here~


The black pig's pork collar. Nice!!!

The drinks we ordered. The Choya Umeshu and Suntory's Malt Beer. I drank Choya's Umeshu alot of times already so no comments, though it's the first time I ever ate the sour plum in the Choya Umeshu and all I gotta say is... the alcohol concentration in the plum is... ALOT. Yeah strong alcohol soaked inside the sour plum. Nevertheless it's uniquely nice if you love alcohol~~~ Xin doesn't dare to eat her sour plum so I ate hers too... 2 Umeshu sour plums nyahahahaha!!!

Suntory's Malt Beer. I SUPER like this beer I tell you, a very light alcohol tasting beer with a REFRESHING touch to it. Cost a whopping 10 bucks for a small bottle though.

The Umeshu in the small glass and the Malt Beer in the big traditional cup. It's Alcohol day!!!

My Zaru Cha Soba. The cha soba here beats Sakae's HANDS DOWN. The cold noodle has somewhat a MUCH better chewing feeling to it, and the sauce it came seem so light but not salty yet taste yummy enough. Cost 8 bucks though.

Garlic Rice. 1 bowl for 3 bucks. However Garlic Rice mixed with pork belly, pork collar, and all the seafoods ESPECIALLY the fish, taste... SUPER, DUPER, AWESOME. Yeah garlic rice is nice alone but mix with the meats and seafoods it's... incredible!

All the different kind of food thrown into the BBQ grill at one time. FOOD GALORE!

The desserts after those great yummy foods. I had the pumpkin pudding. Hmm god knows why got sweet paste above my pudding de. I like the dessert, it has a light taste to it not forgetting the soft slimy pudding touch!!! ^____^

Someone's itchy hand posing with my pudding. Guess whose hands is that?

Xin's Sweet paste with green tea icecream and the tangyuan. Okie i forgot what's the name of her dessert so anyhow name de lol. Well this dessert can be found in almost all the japanese restaurant and it taste great everywhere!!!

Total damage in Tajiyama Restaurant: Xin - 54 bucks. Me - 70 bucks. Holy cow!!! What did we order? Let me recap... Pork Collar, Pork Belly, Ika, Scallop, Cod Dory Fish, Zaru Cha Soba, 2 Garlic Rice + 1 bowl of plain rice, 1 Choya Umeshu, 1 Suntory's Malt Beer, 1 Pumpkin Pudding and 1 Green tea icecream with tangyuan in sweet paste. *Gasp*. 124 bucks including GST and service charge. OK yakiniku is SOOO not cheap. LOL.

After makaning such delicious food, we went challenger to buy some stuff that I needed. My earphones are spoilt so bought a new pair of earphones and then buy another thumbdrive(I lost 2 thumbdrives alrdy, either someone took it in my office or I misplaced it around my room. Haha). Another 30 bucks fly off TT. Then we went atop the vivocity to blow some cold bleezy breeze and relax amongst the countable stars and cloudy night... kimochi~
The night view atop Vivocity. Damn the IR for spoiling the view.

Pic taken when we were lieing down flat on the floor at the rooftop. Doesn't that look like a shooting star or some ray of hope?

The cute 2 finger red hand. Not too clear cause taken at night and my camera sux.

The HUGE HUGE HUGE GIGANTIC HUGE BEAUTIFUL COLOURFUL christmas tree atop vivocity. Who would ever thought that some stupid people would put such a gigantic christmas tree atop the roof of some shopping complex. It's actually VERY COLOURFUL but the camera cannot take anything other then yellow lights, when it has ALOT of colours. AND IT's FREAKING HUGE.

Pic no.2 of the christmas tree. It's gorgeously amazing!!! Water reflections included.

Closer view of the fascinating tree. Again all yellow lights on this photo when there are plenty of running colours on the tree.

Time flies very fast during happy times, by the time we left it's about 11pm+ already. Time to wrap it up and go home!!! Uncovered what I bought today...

The audio Technica ATH-C100M Black inner earphones and 2GB Toshiba USB Thumbdrive costing me 30 bucks at challenger TT.

Shiroi Koibito that Xin helped me buy~~~ 20 bucks fly again TT

The real gorgeous cover of Shiroi Koibito. Nice wor~~~ Sad thing is, my dad grabbed 6 of my shiroi koibitos after I shared 1 with my dad... WHO SAID GUYS DON'T LIKE SWEET STUFFS!!!
TOTAL DAMAGE OF THE DAY

THUMBDRIVE AND EARPHONES - $30
