Ok ! So I met DS on one of my 2 OFFs last week, we decided to get some at Paragon (my initial plan was Da Paolo Gastronomia), but that was a flop cause it turned out to be a bakery/take out cafe. We nearly gave into Thai Express (was working on a below $15 budget). But decided to walk around to look for more food.

One of the worst things I honestly HATE about meet ups is finding for food places .... Granted, I've eaten at many places which are commendable, but at that PRECISE moment, I just cannot remember which places to go for off hand (especially if there are parameters set in like budget, a/c, good service required etc.) I decided to go for the "cannot fail" option, which is ION Orchard basement food court, but that failed too .... (sometimes I think that perhaps I'm over reading into peoples body language. I could not tell exactly what he liked, every suggestion was replied with a - "ok, no problem"). Anyways, I was also on OFF on that day, and I did not wanna "risk wasting it" eating expensive food court stuff.

Just as I was about to think of another place to head down to, this Go!Go! Curry ! popped into mind. Had walked past it several times, but never had the chance to get in.

The curry was thick, rice was solid and the pork was tender (some places [like the NP canteen tonkatsu] serves like SUPER thin pork which has been fried till its tough as hell !), luckily for us, this was not the case. The restaurant has 3 different serving sizes available (which I am told is basically more or less rice, no change in meat quantity). There is a selection of Pork, Chicken or just plain curry - not much of a choice, but I guess its better to specialise in somethign and be good at it, then be jack of all traits, master of none. I wouldn't say this restaurant has MASTERED curry katsu, but for the price and friendly staff, I'd say give it a shot ! Besides, in the whole time I was there, 3 of the 4 sets of customers that came and went were Japanese - that pretty much sums up what I have to say !

After a delightful meal at Go!Go!Curry!, we walked and talked for abit before heading down the basement of "HMV" building for some dessert. Its called "Sweet Spoon" or SOMETHING along that line, located opposite the Macdonalds, and Subway. I ordered Orh Nee (Yam Paste), DS ordered Almond paste. Now, I've tasted some pretty nasty Orh Nee before, this one just FAILS ! Flat on its face ! Why did it fail ? Taste was average (maybe cause I opted not to add in coconut milk), but the thing that really eerked me was the layer of oil (LITERALLY oil) on the surface of the dessert.... I tipped the bowl (like in the picture), and it did not take long before the oil flowed and collected at the tip of the bowl.... Guess the only saving grace for this stall is the SUPER friendly old ladies working there. They asked me how was the dessert, made some recommendations and all. They gave A+ service.
