dasher

Still in recovery mode after BC...or rather recovering from BC starts now since I decided to stay up yesterday night too.

Recount of past few days:
Wednesday: BC
Thursday: BC
Friday: Submit BC, and then the fun starts :D

Rui came to visit (on a mission from the rest of the loo kids to meet Lionheart), so we had dinner out & strolled around Eaton (because J.Crew had a sale and it made me miserable seeing others on the street, who did not have to do BC, holding shopping bags from Black Friday).

Dinner was at Kinton Ramen, the other super hyped ramen place aside from Sansotei:

Fried Tofu as appetizer, t'was delicious. The tofu had a crispy shell, while the interior was still soft. The accompanying sauce was good too, kind of like a tangy mayo?


(Aside, I really ought to turn my screen to full brightness when ps'ing)
Onto the ramen itself. Ordered a Shio Ramen just so I can compare the two restaurants. Both places had the eggs boiled to the perfect doneness :D Verdict is that Sansotei has the better broth (juuuust the perfect saltiness) and meat (the shoulder at Kinton was slightly tough, but it's not truly comparable since I had belly meat at Sansotei), while Kinton has the better noodle (more springy). Atmosphere wise, Kinton is reminiscent of Momofoku with the communal tables and louder noise.

The portions at Kinton were huge, so gotta walk all that dinner off in Eaton. Conveniently all the Christmas decorations were up:

Too bad the Swarovski crystal tree wasn't up, or is that being replaced by the tree above?

Subwayed back home with Rui at the end of the night, it's nice to be home :]
In the spirit of American thanksgiving, I am super thankful for homemade food and the company of my mom.

As a side note, here's proof that my phone has the better photo editing capabilities. Pfft instagram cannot compare to VSCO cam and Camera+

Original, VSCO, Camera+


Now to finish the night off with a much needed episode of Suits :D
