Cleanse your mouth sort of tea. It has a ko-hee (coffee) aroma but Dan said it was not. Grrr.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Our Boss is drinking it up.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
ICE CREAMMMMMMM-U!!! Vanilla and .. I think it was passion fruit. Ah, it just tasted too heavenly to define its taste.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Lookie, it doesn't melt easily! This was taken after I took the video of Dan.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The sincere waitress. She passed Dan the bill and left the room for our privacy. This is top service! In Singapore, the staff will always stand beside you and hog you for the bill. Like as if we will run away and not pay up! No privacy! Tsk! Singapore should learn from Japan!

Shoe tag.

Chinya is the name. Located on the left of the big red lantern. The bill was not that high too! I expected something above SGD180 but it was only SGD120 for 2! Dan said he is willing to pay for such top quality service. I remember that time Jenna treated me to this so called fine dining restaurant that's top in SG but their service is no where comparable of Japan's. Most SG staff service sux! Jenna also agreed that that restaurant didn't portray what a top fining eatery should be and also said that restaurants in the US are way way way way better. (Ok, I added too many 'way's)

It was getting late and we headed down to Akihabara.

We spent some time in one of the buildings in the picture buying lots of toys for ourselves. :D A LOT! Amounted to SGD400. Gulps. Akihabara is the land of toys and electrical gadgets.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The maids refuse to take pics with me. Tsk, kidding. They are not supposed to, for what reason I do not know.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Aiyah, Dan! I could have gotten a good shot of them!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Cannot liao lah, too many passerbys. By the way, the maids are always surrounded by men. I thought they were advertising their restaurant but when we went up to them, they said that they do not open a restaurant... seems like they offer some other services... =x

According to the guide book I borrowed, there's supposed to be a fairly good maid cafe but we walked so far and long and asked so many kind souls that we gave up searching. Just when we gave up, we saw a sign that has the English word 'Maid'. -.- We took the lift up but it was the back door. We had to climb 4 storeys of stairs just to reach the cafe... Forget it, we shall go somewhere else for dinner... Besides, we were carrying a very big 90cm bag (full of toys) too.

Sushi!!!! How can we miss out eating Sushi in Japan!!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Color plates.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Cola!!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Look at the generous serving of tuna... I told my friends about their serving and they just couldn't believe it. And for a plate of 2, it costs about SGD1.30 only. Generous topping, lesser rice, much tastier and cheaper than local ones.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
No more glass Cola here!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Everyone ordered their share in Japanese directly to the chefs. I only know Ebiko and the chef had a little bit of difficulty understanding Dan. Haha.
