I had the green curry chicken combo set which consists of green curry chicken with rice, Thai-Style pickled cucumber, pandan chicken, Thai fish cake, jacket prawn and dessert, Thai red rubies with coconut milk

Didn't get to take photos of the rest.

Lunch at Hokkaido Ichiba Japanese Restaurant

I had lunch at Hokkaido Ichiba Japanese Restaurant with an old friend on Tuesday, May 13, 2014. She was my classmate in secondary school.  We have managed to keep in touch over the years but haven't met at all and she looks the same.

Hokkaido Ichiba Japanese Restaurant is located at LG101, Promenade, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, No.1, Lebuh Bandar Utama, Bandar Utama Damansara, 47800 PJ. It commenced in September 2010. Its opening hours are from 10 am to 10 pm from Sunday to Thursday and from 10 am to 10.30 pm on Friday and Saturday.

We had salmon sashimi zen and sashimi tempura zen but we were so immersed in conversation that there was no photo taken on the food :(

It was a great meeting considering we haven't seen each other in over 20 years. Instead of reminiscing the good old school days, we talked about the countries we've been to in the past year.

Till next week, gonna watch the F1 street race in Monte Carlo this weekend :)

Dinner at Dubu Dubu

We chose to have Korean food for our Q2 dinner.  We had it at Dubu Dubu located at Lot LG-048, Lower Ground Floor, Mid Valley Megamall on Monday, May 12, 2014.

chicken kimchi gogi ~ replacement for Korean spicy wings or honey mustard wings which were out of stock :(

Hair colouring

It is time to colour my hair so on Sunday, April 13, 2014, I went to Kaiza Hairdressing. It is located at No.60, Dataran Dwitasik, Jalan Dwitasik, Bandar Sri Permaisuri, 56000 Cheras, KL.

After a few failed attempts to colour my hair, this time I decided to 'bleach' my hair first before  I colour it. I was there around 2pm and left before 6pm.

It's almost 4 hours but the outcome is worth it! I finally got the colour that I want. Everyone notices the colour... well, guess it's hard not to :)

Till next week, let's see how long this colour will last...
