Timor Barat Run

Went to seletar camp early in the morning (reach there at 530am) for the Timor Barat Run.. i completed my first ever 10km run... yay... hehe.. but dun ask about my timing... coz i am very slow.. haha.. din train for it oso... nvm.. i juz wanna complete the race... speed doesnt matter to me.. this run is kinda difficult one.. coz there were slopes... pebbles pathway.. sandy path... hard to run..

Saw this nice quote when i am about to complete the race... "Success doesnt come to you... you have to go for it..."

After the run, went to Sushi Kikuzawa @ International building for buffet lunch.. Its a sushi bar which has limited seats... the max is 13 only.. so if u wanna go there for lunch or dinner... rmb to make reservation b4 gg.. otherwise u might be dissapointed...

It is a buffet. But you'll be freshly served directly placed in front of you. Hence, I can relax and enjoy the nice sushi without hurry. The chef will decide what to serve you. The customers have to believe in his choice coz in Jap's culture.. the chef will know what is freshest and will serve you what is best. We were served many types of sushi (unlimted)... but we could only have one serving of sashimi per pax.. its alright for me coz i dun haf cravings for sashimi... but it was kinda dissapointed for my friends.. they only have pudding for desserts.. and its quite dissapointing... The chef will automatically stop serving you once he thinks you are about done..

The setting is quite unique in the sense... nice ambience.. very quiet... if u are those authentic jap food lover.. den u will love this place.. as for me.. i dun really fancy Jap food... din know how to eat alot of stuff.. and i think i was stuffed wif alot of rice!!! so i think its so so only.. but good experience though (where the chef could call his shot)... its around 36 bucks per pax (including GST) for weekday lunch...

I would prefer Ikoi restaurant @ Mirama hotel... went wif david, zj and jan nee few weeks ago... the jap restaurant can only few roughly 40 pax? pretty small... and its always crowded.. so its abit noisy.. the space between 2 tables is very small coz they wanna fully utilize their space... quite cramp i would say..

Food over here is not too bad.. Spread is good (if u are a jap lover)... portion wise is juz nice... they have sashimi of coz (which my sashimi- lovers- friends said its very fresh.. grilled food...jap curry.. tempura etc etc.... their tempura, chicken wings, fried mushroom were great! but after a few rounds... they will take dinosaur yrs to serve u... long interval.. and hard to get the crew's attention.. I was also impressed with the fact that the restaurant had several complementary items which they popped onto our table from time to time... like the apetitizer raw salmon... a miso-like tasting drink in a teapot... stick salad... kaminabe (sounds like scolding vulgarity ya.. haha).. its a vegetable-tofu soupy item in hot aluminium foil (paper steamboat).... its around 40 bucks after GST... for weekday dinner...
