Drinks at Five Izakaya Bar, Chevron House

We wanted drinks, we needed drinks, we deserved drinks, so a few of us decided to meet-up and enjoy a Tuesday night at a local and reasonably-priced bar – at Chevron House.  It’s called Five Izakaya Bar – a Japanese bar that has such a great atmosphere.

It started with 2 of us, and then morphed into 5 people, then 7 of us at one point before a couple of ladies decided to give the last part of the drinks marathon session a miss (wise move – haha!).  We took it easy in the beginning with a bucket of 5 beers, we then went for the Asahi Tower, then we just kept ordering rounds of Asahi pints – with some finger food to keep our energies levels up.  I think we had quite a bit to drink by the end of the night.

The night ended with 4 of us going for Japanese food – always good to line one’s stomach with food before sleeping – haha! 🙂  One of the dishes gave us entertainment – deep-fried Aubergines with grated Cheese on top – a bit weird, as it looked likes worms moving around…very funny (and tasty!)!

The worry is I had an 8am call in the morning (which I would take from home, mind you), and one of the colleagues had to be in the office by 7.45am – also for an 8am conference call.  Ouch!

It certainly was a tough morning the next day…not necessarily a hangover, okay maybe it was!, it was certainly tough going 🙂  Now who’s idea was it again…?

Ramen Night at Bugis Plus

Well after work, I usually do one of 3 things – go home and chill locally around Novena, go and find somewhere to eat and drink before going home, or go out with some work colleagues and friends to do the same, and then go home quite late 🙂

I decided to do the latter, as I was invited to join a colleague for some delightful Ramen from Bugis+ – a shopping and food mall in central Bugis.

There was a bout 5-6 places selling different types of Japanese Ramen and Soup – and I must admit it was quite difficult to choose my dish, but I chose the Ramen Champion place – which was delicious indeed. Topped off by some delightful and refreshing Italian Gelati from Gelateria Italia – aptly named, of course 🙂

It was a very relaxing evening, and good to spend it with a fab colleague. Haha!
