Bits and pieces

The World Cup is upon us once again, so head down over to JayWalk's World Cup Prediction League for some fun. :) My prediction for the opening match has gone to the dumps (and I'm doubtful many predicted that scoreline), but 'tis early days yet! Poland vs Ecuador is up next in just a while, and many thanks once again to our neighbours across the causeway for bringing the matches to us poor folks who don't have cable! ;)

We headed down to Sentosa for some fun in the sun yesterday (even though there wasn't much sun), and then to Marine Parade for high tea buffet at Sakura.



I can't get over what an incredible deal it is. $16.90 nett doesn't sound particularly cheap, but Sakura's buffet trumps any other sushi chain's buffet because it includes all the premium items -- we're talking free-flow sashimi and soft-shell crab!



I'm surprised there aren't more people flocking there every day.

Me: "Hey, my dad has some questions about this contract. Are you free now?"

K: "I'm charging legal fees of $100 per hour."

Me: "Yeah yeah. Anyway, do you mind just talking to my dad directly? He can explain it better that way."

K: "WHAT?! NO! I mean, I'm just a third ye..."

I pass the phone to my dad, and in the faint distance, I hear...

K: "OEI, come on... HELLO?! Oh, hi Uncle."

The high tea buffet is only valid at their Marine Parade branch, 3 PM to 6 PM on weekdays. Off-peak, I suppose! :p Lunch and dinner buffet are a bit more ex, but still worth it, I think, considering the free-flow-ness! ;)

I guess for me it's mostly about the value for money. I love sashimi and soft-shell crab, and buffet at other chains like Sakae or Genki don't cover these items, so Sakura suits me well. :) I think quality-wise it's about the same, nothing outstanding, just economical. Personal preference. ;)
