reading Bill Perkins Die with Zero

learn that life is sum of experiences everything must consider worth it or not, not just calories, cholesterol also time, money vs lost opportunities & experience

guess curry chicken noodles very worth the calories, cholesterol, time, money lol!

early birthday lunch for chong lee @ Ishinomaki on 2.5.2022.^^

I love my premium chirashi every time …chong lee chose to have the unagi & majuro sashimi, and take sonomono side dish.

really enjoyable lunch with an old pal. so many memories.

cheok mung and I celebrated chon glee’s 60th birthday in wales in 2018, scaling Wales’ tallest peak mt snowdon! actually only 1085m la and we did it in 7hrs return.

we had nice dinner at the royal victorian hotel…and food was great just that we kena booked and fined £60 though we paid the full day parking at the open carpark. should have just driven 50m over to the hotel!

had piccolo latte & cappuccino at tiong hoe afterwards.

had 8pax + k k full attendance family lunch @ ishinomaki on 30.4.2022.^^

early celebration of JH birthday.

got a nice spacious private room. which k k could run around. lunch was like 3 hrs.

the premium chirashi don always good, the most value for money dish.

poh ting cannot take raw food so ordered the set with tempura and unagi.

we also added many dishes like tempura udon to share.

and recommended to take the hamachi kappa and a deep-fried maybe kinmedai?

both were good, the kama was excellent. I will order this again if ordering alacarte.
