RAMENPLAY

Good day, y'all!

It's been a good day thus far. ☺

I went to relief 2 classes today from 2 to 6PM and, boy, I was so drained by the end of the day. I really respect the tutors who can teach Secondary Math consecutively for hours.

Anyway, I managed to leave on time and zoomed to meet Mama for dinner at Novena. She's been wanting to try RamenPlay, which was where we had dinner.

I was probably too tired so I didn't feel hungry at all. I couldn't bring myself to finish the food either. I felt like puking the whole day - after lunch and then after dinner. The food didn't seem to settle well in my stomach. Either way, it was our first time at RamenPlay and the food wasn't too bad.

In order of the food that came:

Crispy Chicken Gyoza (5 pieces)

I realize gyoza is a must-have for Mama whenever she goes to a Japanese restaurant. I'd say the gyoza I had today is probably one of the best ever. ☺

Tori Momo Don Set ($13.80)

I didn't have many choices to choose from since most meals had pork so I chose this rice set that is topped with chicken and egg. ☺

It might have been more delicious if I was in the mood for it but it tasted greasy today. Too greasy for my liking, in fact. You'd expect the egg to be half-cooked but it was surprisingly rather cooked (which is good).

The set came with 2 agedashi tofu and a bowl of miso soup. I never liked miso soup and today's serving proved me right. It was too salty! The tofu, though, wasn't too bad although I prefer Sakae Sushi's one better.

It glistens in the light so it's either really oily or really tasteful.

Teriyaki Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen ($12.80)

Instead of your standard ramen, Mama chose the kyushu noodles. The broth is pork-based so I didn't try it but Mama seemed to have enjoyed her meal. ☺ She said the kyushu noodles tasted better than the normal ramen so you guys should try it for yourself.

For desserts, we went with the traditional matcha ice-cream with azuki beans:

Total bill came up to $46.84. Too expensive, in my opinion, for this standard of food.

Ending today's post with an outfit I pulled together for the day:

Dress: MDS / Cardigan: Cotton On / Shoes: Random shop in UK

I ought to get a new pair of white sneakers. The pair I'm wearing is almost a year old now and I've used  it so much it's starting to come apart. 

Also, the dress I'm wearing seems a bit long because I bought the regular cut. Sometimes, MDS releases petite versions of their dresses but I'm impatient as usual so I bought the regular one. ☺

Oh, and I love dresses like this because the cut of the dress makes me look shapely. And it's such a versatile piece! You can pull over a cardigan/blazer to make it seem less informal. I went with the cardigan because I don't have to look all formal when all I do is teach in a rather informal setting. ☺ I'm sure it'd look great with a black blazer.

Shoes wise, I only have this pair of white but I suppose it'll go well with a pair of neutral-colored wedges as well. By that, I really mean either black or white.

I wore a simple necklace. It's actually a staple piece for me for fengshui reasons but you can easily match it with anything small/light. I rather not chunky I don't know why. I somehow lean towards the gold-end for accessories when it comes to dresses like that.

I also downplayed on my shoes when my outfit is a bit loud to balance out. ☺

That's that.

On a side note! I've finally gone back to exercising. ☺☺☺ So exciting because I've been procrastinating about it but now that I've all the time ever jogging actually becomes fun.

Almost 10PM! I'm gonna shower and rest for the night, hehe.

Goodnight y'all!
