Wedding Anniversary

The missus and I celebrated our 8th year together. A small landmark, but a good one still.

We had wanted to do Japanese and we saw a good deal with ABN AMRO for Kaisan Jap restaurant at Raffles Hotel Arcade. Unfortunately, numerous calls to the restaurant was not answered.

So when the day came, we decided to take a chance and go there without any reservation. Our back-up plan was Hanabi at Odeon Towers. When we got to Raffles Hotel arcade, looking for Kaisan, we realized why no one picked up the phone. The restaurant had closed.

Unbelievable!

And the ABN offer is good thru to March 08. I guess someone needs to update that!

So off we went to Hanabi. Luckily for us, it was a weekday night and we could walk in without reservation.

The food as usual was good. We pigged out on sashimi, my primary favorite being tune, cobia and yellow tail. Somehow Salmon didn't do anything for me.  As part of their 3rd anniversary, they also served a free dish of giant prawn deepfried and coated with some roe sauce. It was deep-fried so you could eat everything, and the sauce was quite yummy though nothing to shout about.

We tried a few cooked dishes, but again nothing spectacular.

So all in all, it was a good meal, not too expensive (about 80 for both of us) compared to our previous anniversaries which we did at Lawry's and Les Amis.

And.. we went to a massage the day after in HV. Again not too expensive (compared to Amrita Spa) but equally as good.
