I’m becoming like an auntie. I was happily shopping away at NTUC Fairprice and Metro today. : (

My buys excite me and made me very very happy! I think I am going to join the auntie league soon! Been obsessed with natural pure red apple juice lately… I think it must be influence from Tarynn! ; ) That’s part of the reason why I am so joyful in NTUC because there’s a few natural apple juice brands there. I am a little picky here. I am NOT looking for apple juice from real fruit juice. I am looking for freshly squeezed apple juice with preservatives to make it last. Although such preserved juices cannot be compared to the freshly squeezed ones but even they tasted very different from those that are made from real fruit juice or worse, juice concentrate.

After my dearie muggish slave accompanied me at Metro Paragon, I decided to treat him to dinner! This is the yummy part! And the highlight in a foodie’s post. LOL…

As ramen lovers, we decided to give Daikokuya a try and see whether it can be compared to IPPUDO SG. Daikokuya is located at Paragon’s basement.

Well, ramen aside, they have one of the BEST salmon sashimi! Super fresh and thick! Served in 5 pieces for just $8.80!!! They are even cheaper than Ichiban if I am not wrong. Really good! Even an amateur like me can tell from the look of the salmon slices that they are SUPER fresh! AWESOME! Their gyoza is another must try dish! As for their ramen, Isaac had their new ramen called the stamina ramen which is really good except for the bean sprouts. Not that the sprouts ain’t fresh, just that I am an ANTI-bean sprout person. HAHA… Their ramen egg, in Isaac’s opinion, is better than IPPUDO’s. However, their char siew cannot be compared to the IPPUDO legendary special braised pork (Kakuni). The ramen itself is thicker than most but it’s delicious! I find it’s texture quite akin to the hard ramen in IPPUDO, just a lot thicker. The soup is great for garlic lovers and although, at the first few sips, it may not be as enticing as the spicy miso ramen that I ordered, you will definitely fall in love with it before you reach half the bowl. As for the spicy miso ramen that I had, the soup is good and the noodles’ texture is much like the soft ramen in IPPUDO. However, as the soup is spicy, you will find that by the time you are halfway through it, you can’t taste much except for the spiciness on your tongue. Not very impressive. Isaac and I both agreed that we will want to come back for the stamina ramen. No wonder it won the best ramen in 2009!

No idea why but we decided to head over to Orchard Central after dinner as the last time we went, it was pretty empty and most of the shops are not opened. Although it got slightly better now, it is still pretty much empty. However, we stumbled upon an interesting shop at the basement. The name is The Pather. It is operated by an uncle dressed in Arabian clothes but we are unsure whether he is an Arab. The shop sells their in-house perfumes which are alcohol-free. The uncle even recommended us scents based on his own impression of us. And the scents that he recommended are really nice. It’s really amazing because I often had the experience of sales personnel recommending scents that I really don’t fancy, sometimes the scents are even revolting to me. But for this uncle, the scents that he chose for us are pleasing and soothing. We decided to give it a try since the smallest vial is just 10 bucks. The shop has more exquisite perfume vials which I am dying to buy but as an unemployed, it will be tough to fork out that kind of money! :’(

But anyway, Isaac insisted on buying me my perfume vial and he got one for himself as well. His is the one with the red crystal while mine is the purple one. The nice uncle even gave us the brown scarf as a complementary gift! I want to go back to him soon! But I need M.O.N.E.Y!!!!

We ended the happy day with the devil-misu (tiramisu) at TCC and its’ Fruitti Delights since we don’t want to take any caffeine at the end of the day and risk staying up whole night. ; )
