HAIL ALL FOOD LOVERS! Pls make your way down to the Japanese Supermarket at the basement of Lido in Orchard for food-tasting of the freshest seafood from Hokkaido!

On Sat, my beloved Mic and I (nope, she didnt force me to type that =p) made our way down to Orchard for a window-shopping trip after a belly-bursting dim sum breakfast at Red Star Restaurant with her parents. K-boxing was at the top of our itinerary but we decided to give it a miss since we must save some money for the Taiwan trip in May.

Mic was complaining that Reika had destroyed her black glittering Mlphosis slippers and she was experiencing some discomfort in wearing them. So we went ard searching for a decent pair of slippers at Charles & Keith. The pair of slippers Mic set her sight on did not have her size unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, because she got herself an even better pair for $26.00 at Pacific Plaza. She was contemplating between an orange with fireworks designs pair, a green with white poka dots pair, a pink comfy Reef pair and lastly, a similar Reef pair but white in colour. The white slippers emerged as winner.

The highlight on Sat turned out to be an unintentional food-tasting trip at the supermarket at Lido's Basement! We were heading back for the car when a spur of the moment made us wander into the supermarket. Just as we were exploring and drooling at the limitless types of Japanese frozen food, we saw a food fair situated right in the middle of the supermarket. Hordes of aunties were crowding around the stalls where Japanese chefs were dishing out cooked seafood as samples. The seafood were like GIGANTIC! We had to battle with the experienced aunties for the surprisely large portions of deep-fried scallops, soft shell, squid etc. (These are sold at $5 for 100grams). We also walked past the tako yaki stall and oh my god, the piece of squid they chunked inside the tako yaki was at least 4 times bigger than that of those we have in Singapore. Much to our amusement, the chef fed me a tako yaki ball. Ooishi!

The food ends on the 17th. We will be gng down again this weekend =)
