The One
"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch." Orson Welles
Hey, I think I deserve to get a medal for waking up before 10am for five CONSECUTIVE days.
So far, the only thing that gets me out of bed and through my morning routine, without putting facial cleanser onto my toothbrush, is Delta at full blast. If she's "Born To Try", I'm born to snooze.
Work was ok. As usual, the Desk is zen central. Though I wonder what the people there would think if they knew I was only working to subsidise my DSH (Destructive Sushi Habit). Which brings me to highlight of the week.
Tragedy struck few weeks ago, when I came back to Singapore hoping to eat at sushi mecca Kurama again, only to find that it has closed for 2 years.
It was the place I went to eat fab sushi in blissful solitude. After work, you just want to pamper yourself, without the need to make conversation.
Ever since coming back, I've been flittng from restaurant to restaurant, looking for something similar, but haven't found The One.
Then there it was, staring out of the Business Times. A full page food review, claiming that it was the closest thing to ocean fresh fish. It was located in this weird Japanese enclave called Ginza. And what a find.
The Sakuraya has all sorts of raw fish, and not just the usual suspects of tuna and salmon. A piece of thingy that looked like raw marbled beef cubes turned out to be the most orgasmic fatty tuna. And here's the clincher: they have wagyu beef!! The service was nice too, and the sake list was top notch. It was filled to the brim with real Japanese, which is always a good sign.
I think this is The One. An expensive One, but The One, nonetheless.
Oh by the way, they finally published my food review of sel et poivre, after two months. (Joy!) Darlings, do go have some rillette for me!
