Storming!

After an unusually dry spell in January this year, marking a 10-year historical low, the rains are back with a vengeance. It's been raining every day of late, long and hard! As I type this, it's absolutely pissing down outside, complete with lightning, thunder, and a howling wind. All windows have to be closed to barricade against the invading moisture, even the usually secure louvred windows in the back!

Thankfully, we had risen early this morning, and ran through a gamut of errands, including scoring a decent office chair at a secondhand place at a discount (for a slight defect to the chair), before the rains came. But plans for a brisk cycle in the early morning were scuttled as the rains came early. So, without having a chance to burn off all that cholesterol consumed during the week...

The last stop before heading back to The Cave was Flower South (Hoa Nam) Prawn Noodles at Tai Thong Crescent, to slurp up some delicious prawn/pork rib noodles for sustenance. *burp* Verdict : Better than 人人大虾面! Thumbs up!

On Friday night, we picked a safe comfortable favourite. A real hole-in-the-wall cosy little Japanese restaurant, serving grilled food. That's the BBQ-ed beef in the foreground, which we were trying out for the first time (very tender, but the fatty bits freaked me out). One of our favourites, the enoki mushrooms wrapped with strips of pork and grilled over an open fire, is in the background. Biting into the wrapped mushrooms, there is a burst of juice, with the fragrance of butter! Mmm...! Every single bit is freshly prepared in front of your eyes before the chef pops them onto the fire. Izakaya Tamako - thumbs up! 

Let's see what sinful great food J2 introduces to us tonight...

I really gotta find a chance to go burn off some of all this good food that's being consumed endlessly. If not for beauty's sake, then at least, for health's sake. My cholesterol count is not exactly in the "optimal" range...darn it...I blame it on the faulty family genes... Besides, I need to try out the new expensive bike I have just recently inherited. :D
