it was mr zhu's bdae celebration ytd! had lunch at a well-rated buffet restaurant, CAROUSEL at royal plaza @ scotts road. halal n recommended for 'the-line-at-a-cheaper-rate'. its $37++ per pax for weekday lunch, u wont find it pricey after trying, serious!
my favourite would be the desserts n the cold dish section. the mud crabs r super sweet n pls check out the mango pudding if u happened to be dere. expect much more than these as i dint capture the jap food section n also the pasta n chinese cuisine area.
as seen, we r satisfied diners! variety was gr8, service was superb. they came to replace our cutlery every single moment n the plates were constantly changed. their dishwasher must b having a hard time, dats wad was commented by dear. quite a no. of pple dining dere, mostly tourists as it is situated in royal plaza, but ambience is still ok.

went to coffee bean after lunch n shopping @ fareast. studied a little while dear was trying so hard to connect to the area's wifi server wif his precious new ipod touch. onli til we got sick of the place dat we left n made our way to our next stop!
dinner was a gr8 experience! it was at the central mall @ clarke quay. tried walking in to the restaurant of fantastic reviews, there is alreadi full reservati0n by the time we called up.): to our shock, the server told us we haf to wait for an hr b4 we could dine, we haf no choice as manhatten's q is much longer, n since carousel is so damn filling, we were nt hungry den. happened to witness this japanese dance performance after leaving our name at the restaurant n gg back later. duper cute japanese kids!
nice thou i dint reely get it. there were 3 dance items n they look bout the same to mi.. a energetic perk of the day for us! other than dat, the mall is quite a boring one so we decided to wait by the restaurant. gd for us, w/o much of a wait, we get to go in. n i got to understand y reservation will full wen i called up, the restaurant is so small! i counted, in total dey can oni take a capacity of ard 40 pax.
MA MAISON meant 'my home' in french, indeed, the place has such an ambience of warmth n cosiness. the deco plays a huge part in creating it, they even had lighted candles at every table! service was gd too, as expected of jap restaurants, the loud n chirpy greeting was heard til we sat down. nt much variety but gd quality as mentioned in food reviews. we heeded advices n ordered the shop's specialty 'seafood platter'. it took quite sum time for the food to be served but it was worthwhile as it was reely delicious.
dear gt his complimentary bdae cheesecake n the lady boss was so frenly n kind to help us take a polaroid for free too! wen we asked for the bill, we were handed a large metal key n the server told us to present it at the counter wen we checked out. if only we gt a window seat which allows us to admire the view frm up dere, on the nightlife at clarke key, it wuld b even better. i swear to call up early the next visit. a highly recommended restaurant for dates!
HAPPY BIRTHDAE DEAR! ^^
