stolen colours

It was quite a rather relaxing Saturday at the ward because everyone tries not to order blood tests or procedures for any patient. (weekend mode, see.) I poked three people, failed two, and had the last one say “oh it’s over? I didn’t feel a thing!” Perhaps he has neuropathy from his chemo.

Ended later than I should have, which made it a good time to go for lunch at Central. Timothy wanted to try the Wakashachiya’s curry udon, just next to Marutama Ramen - which had 15 people queueing at 1.45pm. Didn’t Shan etc rave so much about that place?

I’ve certainly cut down on my food blogging for the following reasons:
1. I don’t go out so often nowadays.
2. I am poor yet still trying to save up for certain items.
3. The general opinion has been that I am getting too obsessed with bringing my camera along and it’s not good for me. Maybe that’s so. And it’s not like I’m improving, anyway. Gotta find another way to make myself happy and fulfil my OCD callings.

Still, photos after the cut. Shan, please read this BEFORE going to UK.

These photos were taken with my K810i because I haven’t been bringing my Fujifilm with me. I only changed the brightness and contrast of the images.

There’s a LCD TV broadcasting Japanese programmes, just for the atmosphere.

I orderd the tempura curry udon ($16) with additional agenasu ($2.50, I think). The curry was well, just thick, decent Japanese curry. It stayed hot for very, very long. The udon was okay, but I really wish it had been firmer. The tempura was not bad: the prawn was crisp and juicy, and the batter wasn’t too heavy. The agenasu was good! I like how the Japanese cook their eggplant firm, and not soggy like in Chinese cooking.

Timothy’s tonkatsu curry udon ($16) with cheese ($3). The tonkatsu was quite well done; but the cheese topping was fantastic! I don’t know who came up with the idea of eating cheese with curry, but it went very well and even melted into delicious, elastic streaks of cheese that he gleefully pulled out. (Note: finish the cheese before it melts into oblivion.)

Overall, the curry udon was decent, but lacking the ‘wow’ factor that Marutama Ramen had for me. The staff are very attentive (filling my glass after every few sips!) and shower you with Japanese phrases of thanks and whatnots.
