Nanbantei

Met up with Puss, Valencia and Christine today for dinner. The initial plan was to dine at Wasabi Tei. But when we got there, the queue was as usual long. We still queued nevertheless but Puss suggested putting our names down at the Nanbantei Yakitori restaurant nearby as we queued. He dined there before and he described the yakitoris there as heavenly.

When we were around 2-4 people away from seats at Wasabi Tei, Nanbantei called and so we headed there instead. And since I haven tried that place before, I thought it would be a good experience even though I badly wanted to have some sashimi. We had sashimi at Nanbantei, but only around 3-4 pieces per person, definitely not enough to satisfy my craving! We did however order a lot of yakitoris and most of them were not bad. This restaurant have a Wine & Dine certification, so that means that its one of the finest restaurants in Singapore! The whole meal cost us around $37 per person, a tit bit more than what we would have paid at Wasabi Tei but its a new experience that I can share here so its worth it!


This name card was placed on our table even before we started ordering


The yummy salad that all of us got one each


The 2 plates of sashimi that 4 of us shared. It was served at the right temperature (not too cold) but the quantity just wasn't enough to satisfy my craving tonight lol


Some fish yakitori and shitake mushroom with meat


Lady fingers and tomatoes wrapped with bacon


I tried one of the tomato and cringed as I chewed on it. Not a big fan of tomatoes you see


Oysters wrapped with bacon


Potato wrapped with bacon


Some minced chicken with a cute looking quail egg


Chicken ball and some pork yakitori


Kimchi chicken


Some really salty beef and pork yakitori


Beef steak yakitori


Some prawn yakitori


Just look at the amount of used stick we discarded, that's how many yakitoris we ordered and finished

After dinner, we did a little shopping around Tangs. Its the start of the Great Singapore Sales man! But fortunately, I finished shopping leaving empty handed lol. We then decided to check out the new upcoming chill out place down at Portsdown Road, a place I read recently on the papers. Its located deep inside Portsdown Road, past Tanglin Trust school and at Wassex Estate. It turned out to be a really cool area where Pietrasanta - The Italian restaurant, Cicada, and Klee was located. We realised that its an area that the rich hang out. There was an Audi R8, many Beemers, Mercs, Porsches parked around. Wanted to try out the Klee that was the place featured on the papers but was disappointed to find the indoor area fully occupied. It was also unfortunately that it was a hot and humid night, and so we decided against staying there. Oh and guess who we saw there, Fiona Xie and her group of girl pals! A pity that she wasn't hanging around with Jeanette Aw or else I would have insisted that we stay there! Lol. The place is set up by the people behind Timbre and they're actually famous for their cocktails, will definitely return to give it a go one day!


Valencia and Christine are supposed to be in this picture

We ended up in Dempsey's PS Cafe in the end. Had some really chocolaty cakes there that we couldn't finish, drank tea, chatted, laughed and had some really good time before heading home. My weekend is coming to an end soon, will be reporting back to camp tomorrow afternoon! Dammit, I hate work! I'm disillusioned! Disillusioned!
