This is way way over due, so with apology.
The 2nd Xmas "party" was held at the Tonkichi Japanese Restaurant at Suntec City, 23th Dec '05.
The attendees are: - Fennie (left), Myself & Ann (right). We have Fen's bf Jim too. His not in the pic.
Pictures are all quite dark, we did not use the flash so pardon them. Which version do u like better? The nerdy specky look or the "meng meng long long" without glasses look? Hee I personally like both of my looks. So rare I can get nicely proper pictures like these.
It was a dinner cum get-a-long session with the sisters. Our 1st one for this year. So this shows how little we get together.
We had sumptous dinner. Huge servings which literally made the 4 of us stuffed pork chops. As in, literally forcing pork chops down the throat.
Servings looks normal here but looks are decieving, had to slowly munch down last piece of pork loin.
Ann had the curry pork fillet set (left) while Fennie & I had the pork fillet & loin set (right). The fillet is such a huge piece, see. I like the loin better. Its so tender, you hardly need chewing before ingesting them. The fillet on the other end has abit more fats (skin) & some chewy texture. Nicely fried breaded pork but it has very little flavours by itself. See that black dish of sauce I ordered? It's miso sauce, has this light sweet taste, goes very well with the meat. They have this sauce that thas a light sour taste that is recommended to go with the meat but I still like the miso sauce better. The small little bowl with the cute pounder are roasted sesame seeds, for u to do some grinding into powder to sprinkle onto the meat before eating. Innovative yeah. Not to mention the fun grinding it and eating the sesame powder fresh. The salad is unique, cabbage shredded into thin stripes and a salad dressing to go with. For a 1st timer, it is quite a unique experience. Minus the over-eating. Hee.
A hearty chat session follows after the dinner with green tea to wash the "ge-lat-ness" down. It didn't took long for me to digest and for stuffed stomach to feel better, thank lord. Ann showed us pictures of her ourdoor weddign shoots, the informal ones and some of her wedding preparation. Weddings can "shrink" a person, look at Ann, she's so tiny now. I told her she looks 5 years younger to me now. Fennie & Jim are growing smaller too. Looks like I am the only one expanding.
I had gifts that night too. We had a xmas gift exchange. Many coincidents: I bought Ann a cute set of porcelein wares for her home, she bought me a cute baby pooh bag. I bought Fennie a white bag, she also bought me a white bag. Ann bought Fennie a grey Tank top, and Fennie gave her a grey top too.
Ended the night and we all went back home to rest before more parties comes for Xmas is round the corner.
Shall write more abt xmas count down when time allows.
