I am like sooo stressed out over portfolio and fusion and whether I actually have enough works to be put up and the website and the stupid RIA assignment which I have absolutely no clue as to how the hell I'm supposed to do it I think I am going crazy. So much so that besides all that worrying, I have been doing nothing over the past two days except for sleeping and watching tv and doing the bare minimal of research. Am I screwed or am I screwed?
That aside, went to celebrate mother dearest's birthday on Thursday and we went to this Hokkaido Hotpot place at Paradiz Center. It's probably not a place that you will normally go to and will probably just walk past it without offering as much of a glance, but well well well, that place is really nice! Nice ambience, nice staff, really REALLY nice food and the only bad thing I can think about right now is that they should
seriously change the music. I mean, hearing the same two tracks on
repeat mode is seriously.... argh. You know what I mean.

And so, anyway, went there, got two set meals and all I can say is that thank god we ordered two sets. If we were to each order a set each, we would not have been able to get out of there alive. The portions there are in two extremes. Very small and cute or VERY VERY BIG.

That's where they put all the different sauces: peanut sauce, some sweet chilli sauce and the normal soy sauce.
Starters: some 3/4 cooked egg thing that had the yolk runny but the white all cooked. Very yummy. And it came in this cool looking plate thing and we didn't know how to eat it so the waiteress had to teach us how to eat it lah! Kimchi + eggy thing = very nice.

Oh and you know how usual hotpot places you have this one big hole where you cook all the food in? At this place, you get ur own little pot to cook, and so the food came, and it seemed like it never stopped coming. Presentation of food there is also really cute. As in, the seafood came in this boat with ice and stuff so it's something different. Mountains of beef and pork which I didn't touch, some plate with the different dumplings that they serve over there, and besides that, you get to choose what kinda main dish you want. We got the rice, vermilice and some noodle thing. For that price, it really is
ALOT ALOT of food.




Then came dessert which was really really good as well. Pearl Harbour was some mango sago thing which I absolutely lurve, some yam thing that my mum ate and coffee ice cream which was not too strong. I like! Oh oh.. and this:

is one of the drinks that I really liked as well. Ice plum juice, which came in a really small glass but nevertheless, really nice and sour... the tea they serve there is not the normal green tea but rather some berry tea. Smelled like blackcurrent tea if you ask me.
All in all, that place is a really really good place if you're looking for good food so yay!
