New Jap Foodcourt @ Northpoint

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Having saw on the SoShiok.com about the new Japanese Food Court that just opened at the new extension in Northpoint (Level 3), my family and I decided to pay them a visit yesterday. We felt it was a daring idea to open such style food court in the heartland so we went to check it out.

The setup was pretty impressive, wooden table that are clean (maybe because it’s new) with wooden stool (no back rest for you). There are about 10 stalls in all, I try to recall all that I remember, ranging from grill meat on a stick (Yaki style) with rice, rice burger, omelette rice, donburi, bento set, sushi, pizza & pasta, ramen and curry rice. OK, I only remember 9, maybe there are only 9, or maybe I forgotten some, so go check it out and tell me.

My wife tried the beef rice ($6.90) serve on a hot stone bowl, while I tried from the same store eating the chicken rice with egg set ($4.90). It was too bad, the hot stone bowl keep the food hot but right at the end some of the rice and meat are burnt, so don’t take too long to finish it. Portion feels a bit less though. My son tried the salmon omelette rice and he absolutely love it…finishing every last bit, and he has already planned what to eat the next time he is here.

The only problem I have is that the renovations are not complete, getting from the carpark out is a big problem, and I think the carparks will not be enough support the expected surge in crowd. But overall, the new Northpoint means a lot more shops to shop and a lot more eateries to eat (the Hong Kong eatery has such long queue!!!). So all is good, once the renovation is fully complete.

Plan aborted

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Yesterday I was on leave, and I have big plans for the day. But all the plans have to be thrown out of the window when my younger son woke up with a fever, and thankfully, a mild one. Than later in the morning my elder son starts to feel pain in the left side of his tummy, then pain grew and grew till he could no longer sit or stand, nor lie straight as he curl himself into a ball and scream in pain. Refusing to see the doctor, I eventually is able to carry him (after convincing him) to see the doctor.

Thank God that by the evening, both of them started to feel better and we even managed to catch a movie (at home) that I bought from iTunes – Kung Fu Panda. It was a hilarious show and if you have not caught it, rent or buy it to watch, you sure won’t be disappointed.

As you can see, things don’t usually go according to plan but we still have to continue planning, else life will just be a mess (if it’s not already is). It’s December and we have planned many things in December, and we just pray that the rest of the plan will fall into places. Cheers!
