watcha doing?

Went to check out Wacha yesterday with Jap frens, Dice and Maki-san. Located at 14 Ann Siang Road, this cute little Japanese boutique and restaurant came recommended by one of the foodie sites that I chanced upon. So naturally, I was all excited about going to check it out!




The decor of Wacha was quaint, serene and cosy. We went during lunch and were seated at the basement. We ordered a basket of assorted appetizers to share. They came in tiny portions in a cute little basket. Thought it was okay in terms of taste. As for lunch, B ordered the Chicken Rice Bowl and I had the Unagi Don (Eel rice bowl). My eel came abit overdone and char-grilled, so I wasnt bowled over by the results. As for dessert, the Matcha Ice-Cream is a super powerful green tea flavoured ice-cream. We reckon that they used the entire packet of green tea to make this home-made ice-cream. Haha.. Anyways, they do serve a variety of Japanese tea. But 7 bucks for Muigi-Cha (Roasted Buckwheat Tea)? Its not worth the money! If you fancy some, let me know, I have some packets that I bought from Japan. Haha!

We popped by to JB and Elaine's place for dinner. A stone's throw away from our apartment, we decided to stroll there. Their 3-bedroom apartment is really nice! I was bowled over about how clean and amazing it looks. Check it out!


The dining room and the living room. I liked the hanging lights and the back-lit wall feature!


Special features in the guest bedrooms. Simple but chic features to bring out the designer touch!



I doubt you can see it clearly in the picture. But the header for the bed has a special wall feature that allows the owner to place that red square anywhere he wants. Master bedroom has a sexy feel to it! :p

Overall, a really stylish apartment! I guess it makes a difference if the owner had lived in it before, cos at least a little more effort is being made to make the apartment look pretty. We have no such luck with ours!
