Ku Shin Bo

To put it bluntly,Im not a big fan of Japanese cuisine.In most cases,I dread of going to Japanese dinners as to me,there is nothing special to be worth salivating for in Japanese food.I can take an occasional sushi or two but I cant just cant stomach the sashimi's to the wasabi's as to me that's not culinary genious.Maybe Im bias here but a set of good knife skills and not doing any form of cooking except for the occasional deep-frying(Tempura) doesnt make a great chef.Not in my book.
However,my perception on Japanese cuisine slighlty change when I met Ku Shin Bo.A quiet tranquil restaurant that serves up Japanese food in buffet style.I could go on telling about this place but Im gona stop short here and just tell you of the must-eat dishes and leave the rest to you to experience yourself.

Of all the dishes which I really really enjoyed,I picked out two that stands out from me.

Dobinmushi is a soup based dish that is serve in a teapot.All you need to do is pour soup into a small cup and drink it like how you would do with tea.If you open the pot,it's filled with prawns,chicken and fish.It's taste is something like black chicken herbal soup but the ginger and ginseng(If my tastebuds is not failing me) elevates this soup and soothes you down.

Salmon sausage is not typically regarded as authentic Japanese delicacy but this is something that I've never tried before.I've had my fair share of sausage be it a bratwurst or the processed one but this salmon sausage is something to die for.It's simply soft and once you bite it,you can taste and feel the cheese oozing out from the sausage.Damn.
Even though I love those dishes,it doesnt mean that I am a fan of Japanese cuisine but who knows if there are more restaurants that serves up the dishes like how Ku Shin Boiis currently doing,instead of negativity,I may see positivity in Japanese cuisine.

Ku Shin Bo!!!

A Charmed Life


I hate it when a person says that Im living a charmed life which I beg to differ."A well-respected job in national service that comes with a commendable salary.A scholarship holder with numerous future opportunities thats awaits you.A set of friends that will always be there if need be or just there whenever or wherever.If that is not living a charmed life,I have no idea what is!!!"She said.Before I could say another word,the person continued with this"Oops,there is more thing,if there is one thing that you lack,then it could be having someone,like a girlfriend but I don't think you need or start looking for one right now given the lifestyle you're having right now.Forget about Vis or whoever you're going out with now because I don't think you need an attachment in your life as I don't think she have what it takes to be beside your shadow right now at least."Fyi,this person Im talking about is happily engaged and marriage is on the cards this year and to think that she could be saying all those stuff,damn..WTH!!!

So am I living a charmed life?Is the world revolving around me?Let me answer that question,hmmx..HELL NO!!!

Personally,I think that there is alot in me that meets the eye.Unlike my peers who are carving a name in the industry,I have yet to find a job in the real cuthroat world as I need to serve time for at least another 11 months.So,I don't think I have achieve anything yet for now.A scholarship can only take you so far,so I dont think I deserve recognition for any success if having a career is concerned.

Yes,I do have a set of friends which I truly cherish and I've always said that no matter what I do,I know that I have a set of friends that I can always turn to them when I need them whether it's serious or casual.I keep saying this to you guys but thanx for everything.

Now,Jack wants me to have a girlfriend.Stance ask me to find a girlfriend.Some of the friends keeps telling me that it's ripe if I find one.The question is,should I have someone now?Hmmx,as far as Im concerned,my mind points out that Im ready to be committed towards a relationship as of now.I don't believe in fairy tales where all it takes is "I love you and it's happily ever after"I don't believe in it's perfectly alright if we don't have anything right now,we see how it goes and take it from there.I don't believe in love at first sight and soulmates.That is how pessimistic I am now towards this kind of thing but I believe that if you're equipped with the right credentials,then you will have someone there for you as love is getting materialistic by the minute.It's sad but it's true so you have to deal with it whether you like it or not.

I dont think I should be dwelling on this matter as If do that,it's going to do more damage than good so I think Im going to enjoy my "singlehood" while I can before someone else comes in to my life.I want that "Hangover" life where I can do anything and everything no matter what the consequences are.Some life if one could have right?As of now,Phuket Trip No 2 beckons and I can't wait for November and finally try all those watersports and previously I came at a time where there was an accident and was advised not to but now,Im packing up my trunks and wakeboarding skills and and for my ORD trip,it will be either Seoul Korea or Melbourne Australia!!!

Now,that's living a charmed life!!!
