Birthday Dinner with My Father

Since we are meeting my father for dinner tonight, thus the husband and I decided to stay at home the whole day to rest and not to go out for lunch, otherwise we will end up too full to have any appetite for dinner. We hung at home and idle all day until evening came.
I wanted to go Kuishin Bo for dinner but apparently, all the outlets are full booked other than Jurong Point which I didn’t even try calling cos I didn’t want to dine at Jurong Point. I was so disappointed as I really really want to go Kuishin Bo but the stupid place is so crowded. The lady on the answering end told me to walk in and try but why would I want to do that and stand and wait for ages… I don’t believe in paying so much for the buffet and I still have to que like siao…
Since I feel like having Japanese food, so I made reservations at Waraku since I find there really suited to my appetite and the portions are nice and not too expensive. Personally, I feel that they have the best ebi tempura in Singapore, huge and juicy and sweet without the 腥味, just the way I like it.
The husband and I were a little late cos I overslept and he couldn’t wake me up. Pregnant woman tend to sleep too much, every moment that I lay on bed, I feel like sleeping or, I would doze off… It is just so tiring to be pregnant, the foetus seems to be sucking all your energy leaving you no extra strength to do anything else except to rest. Also, my feet are started to swell, and only when I lay down do the swelling goes down.
My brother and Kimberly came late cos they got lost and by the time they come, we are already 3/4 into our meal. I was the only one still eating since I am eating so slow and I ordered so much. I usually prefer lots of small dishes instead of the main course. I ordered their Waraku salad, ebi tempura, eel hand-roll, potato mentai and garlic fried rice. I share all the dishes with the table so that I can just eat different variety of food but I don’t have to finish the whole portion by myself.
My father ain’t a big fan of Japanese food, so he only had the udon which he finds it so so only. I find their Udon really nice too, damn chewy without the taste of the flour which some of the cheap eateries out there, has that kind of flour taste in their noodles. The husband ordered some combo set, salmon belly and he pinch on all my food.
My brother and Kimberly were late and I didn’t take any notice of what they were having but I could see that they didn’t order a lot, unlike me where our whole was filled with food before they arrive. That’s why, don’t be late and he would have taste so much delicacies in Waraku.
The dinner was long, lasting a whole 3 hour and we were just chatting away and munching on the food. Usually, I would have prefer sake to go along with Japanese food but this year, with the addition of Demetrius, I cannot be having any alcohol at this stage so we skip the whole alcohol thing. My father suggested KTV and usually I would be the 1st to agree but I am so tired, so I just want to go home and rest. We parted ways and the husband quickly send me home to rest.
Say your peace
