What I did today
I took my parents to try Japanese Pasta at Mylord in Shinjuku today.
Here’s my dad and I at Goemon, where we had our lunch.
This is the salad that came with one of our sets, the Spring special pasta with Bacon, Bamboo Shoots, Nanohana in pepperoncino sauce.
Our other set was a half-and-half, carbonara and tomato-cheese-tarako.
The spring set came with a drink and dessert, and cost 1500yen. The other one came with drink/dessert, and cost 1560.
The desserts were lovely - strawberry tiramisu and icecream on half-baked chocolate cake.
Here’s a plastic display of food.
This is a very pretty girly thumbdrive, that men like me don’t use.
Following lunch, we headed to Bic Camera at Odakyu HALC to change my dictionary cover. After explaining my problem to the staff, they unexpectedly provided us with a FULL REFUND. At first they wanted to give me a replacement model, but when I told them that I had already bought another case, they were very nice about it and gave us our money back <3.
So we went to buy a card reader (at the same price as the cover) to replace my faulty one. Hard drives seem to be cheap in Japan. a 1TB non-portable hard drive costs just over a hundred SGD… I think I’ll get one soon :)
Dinner was at Sangokuichi in Shinjuku. For some reason I told the waitress that we didn’t mind smoking seats, so we had to spend half of our meal inhaling nicotine -.-
Their udon is highly reccommended. It’s handmade, crunchy and goes well with the soup. We ordered a Katsu Curry-don, a small-sized Tanuki Udon (for me), and a Curry Udon for my mum. For sides, my mother ordered a Gobou Satsuma-age (fried fish cake with burdock) and I ordered a fried Camembert cheese that was delightfully creamy and pungent.
Since today was Ladies’ Day at a particular frozen yoghurt shop, we bought a frozen yoghurt to try in spite of the rain and 7deg chill…
