. The Tasting Palette .

[[Tatsuya]]

Finally had lunch at Tatsuya, Crown Prince Hotel (one of the best in Singapore and some say asia) . Went there with my dad and sis yesterday, since my mum and grandma are not too fond of japanese food. I called to make a reservation but there only had counter seats left. I'm glad though; it turns out that they are the best seats at the restaurant. We were entertained, or rather, I was very entertained by how the chefs sliced the sashimi, flamed the o-toro(drools), make the sushi rolls. I ordered the sushi bento set which is really value for money- it includes a chawamushi, miso soup, tempura, sushi, and fresh fruits. I chose this over the sashimi set because I think that while sashimi depends on the freshness of the fish and the way it's being sliced, sushi is dependent on more factors. It isnt easy to get the perfect sushi- and this one was near perfection.

I tell you: I was savouring every single morsel of it. I'll definitely be back soon!

[[Vegetables and baking]]

Baked Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting in the afternoon. I wanted to try this recipe for awhile and this is the perfect occasion for it. It sounds interesting because of the spices used, the combination of white chocolate and pumpkins and of course, the cream cheese frosting.

It's a tedious cupcake to make: because first of all, I have to grate 4 c ups of pumpkin!! And I have to bake them batch by batch which takes a uber long time. Thankfully, I had my sis and mum to help me grate and J to help me do the cream cheese frosting.

I wished that I had a piping bag so that I can do up the cream cheese frosting more nicely. Next time then.

I found the cupcake a little too sweet. However, J and my sis thinks that it's just fine. Hmm..oh well..

Anyway, I'm off to brunch with Grace.
