让世界关系保持和平的 比起真话是谎言的时侯更多一点 

谎言可以暂时把矛盾缝合平息不合

真话比谎言让人感到不舒服 

大部分的人想忽视真相

我也是这样

传达真相一直让人很痛苦

所以我常常在真相面前 闭上眼睛

One of my favourite song from the drama.

Favourite song by my favourite guy.

As you can see from the title of this post, I'm doin a review of Ikoi (japanese restaurant) I've just recently visited. I realised that everytime I wanna try a new place or a new product, I'm always googling for reviews/recommendations/how to get there (for places)/prices/promotions/opening hours.

So i thought, why not I start noting down my reviews so I can provide my opinions to others who are searching for info like how I did. So here goes my first review.

Ikoi Japanese Restaurant

First of, it is really important to call for reservations at least 3 days in advance. If is for a special occasion such as a public holiday or on weekends, call in at least 1 week in advance. And if you prefer table seats, call at least a few weeks in advance. Based on experiences, everytime i tried to make reservations too late, it is either fully booked or left with counter seats. But when I was there, I noticed the restaurant is not super packed as I expected when the lady over the phone told me there is only counter seats left (which I managed to get table seats for us as soon as i confirm my reservations).

Secondly, though the menu does not comes in a huge variety, it is comprehensive enough to have everything you wanna try at a japanese restaurant (as far as for me). The downside would be there's not much of dessert choices in the buffet menu. And for those desserts not in the buffet menu, it is pretty overpriced. Nonetheless, just imagine free flow of sashimi including salmon sashimi.... And the sashimi does not lose to the usual japanese restaurants such as Sushi Tei, Ichiban, etc. And the best part is, once you're seated, you'll be served with their not-in-the-menu items. This, i find it really interesting and especially the soup that comes in a tea pot (seen in picture below). That was soooo good.

Next, the layout of the restaurant is a little cosy japanese restaurant. Was actually expecting a bigger japanese restaurant but i'm okay with being cosy. Because cosy = lesser people = quieter. Location wise, it is located in Hotel Mirarmar which you can choose to drive/cab over (which we did from outram park)/take a bus. If you're taking a cab over from a mrt, I would suggest taking from Chinatown mrt cause it is nearer and the ride is less than $7. If you're intending to take a bus over, I would suggest checking out buses from Somerset cause when I was heading off, I took a bus (just opposite Mirarmar) which goes to Somerset. So if i'm not wrong, there should be a bus from Somerset to Miramar.

Below are a few of the dishes that are served to you (without you ordering) once you're there.

The 2 timings for the buffet are as follows:

11.30pm - 2.00pm

6.00pm - 11.00pm

I went for their lunch buffet and just last sat I went for their dinner buffet. Both lunch and dinner buffet have the same menu and pricing so it doesn't matter which timing you're heading for. Feeling pretty privileged during the sat's dinner buffet as we get to have complimentary dishes served to us, heheh. =P 

Prices: $38++

For my bill, it totals up to about $70+ for 2 (warm green tea included) which i find it reasonable for the amount of sashimi we had and the crazy amount of all other japanese food I was craving for and tried. 

Based on the above, you should know by now my ratings for Ikoi.

Affordable and satisfying meal I would say.

Like every other korean dramas, I get attached to the drama even after it ends.

Just thought every once in awhile I should leave a little presence here...

So this coming week is a whole new week of being independent.

And to be honest, I'm kinda afraid. Of everything from making mistakes to forgetting certain steps.

I hope things goes slow and smooth and most importantly, I'll get the hang of it.

Some weeks back, met my fav girl for our cafe-ness.

We chose one far from the crowds, with just us and our endless conversations.

I like how we still hav so much plans despite not meeting often.

Is like back to those secondary sch days where we plan about everything.

I miss meeting her everyday in sch, sitting nx to her and talking all day long.

And for every meet up now, I feel thankful for that "bridge" that keeps us going. Hehehe!

I miss BKK crazy shoppings and food.

Cant wait to back in the land of smiles.

:D

給你的愛一直很安靜 來交換你偶爾給的關心 明明是三個人的電影 我卻始終不能有姓名。

給你的愛一直很安靜 我從一開始就下定決心 以為自己要的是曾經 卻發現愛一定要有回音。

Was talking to dearest yuan over how seldom we post and it makes me thought to myself that is time to update after mia-ing since 3rd march.

This shall be a super short photos post as I'm super sleepy already.

Back when I jus started working, met up with wee dear for some shopping.

This reminds me we've yet to continue our cafe-visits and order-all-sushi-we-want plan =x

---

And on 14th, which is also White Day, I planned an advance surprise dinner for yuan.

Still rmb our plans to visit cafes tgr so I chose a few cafes for the bday girl to choose frm.

Happy 22th to my dearest girl. You've been there from my earliest days in secondary sch and how much you've been through with me will never be forgotten by me. I'm glad you're my unbiological sister, one that I know I can always count down. Likewise, I'll always be there for you.

Double date ah! *wink wink*

All came too soon and is too much to handle. Too much.

I don't hope for more time but rather everything to go away.

Pretty thankful for newly made friend frm work to spontaneously meet me ytd.

It totally helps me getting back a little frm wanting to be away from everyone else.

If I could, I would.
