On the 12th of January, it was a very special day for me. Of course, it's not the day I got married, but it's close enough.

MY BIRTHDAY!

Yeah. I'm a good year older now, and probably a good year wiser. On second thoughts, maybe not. So anyway, 12th of January was an ordinary school day, so that part isn't really something you'd want to look at. It's the part in the evening that's exciting.

My family and I have a proclivity for Japanese or Chinese food, so today, we decided to go to Bugis Junction to eat at Ministry of Food @ My Izakaya (MOF). It's mainly mainstream Japanese food, with sushi, ramen, udon, bento boxes and the like.

Before that, I went to Converse and bought myself a T-shirt. I had $20 worth of vouchers from my last trip there, and since they were going to expire soon, it was naturally a perfect way to spend them.



I'm not going to reveal what it looks like just yet, so that my readers will gladly read on about my day until the end. Alternatively, you could always just scroll down to the bottom, but what would be the fun in that?

Back to MOF, well I had something called Tan-Tan ramen. Sounds like sir, don't you think :D Just joking. It's basically a spicy ramen with some kind of meat inside, I can't really remember. I think it was either chicken or pork. Pardon the horrible memory :X



Yeah. As you can see the broth's kind of oily and all, but it was really delicious and actually quite light, and the spiciness of the broth added the "zing" to the otherwise pretty prosaic noodles. I then ordered this ice cream desert called "Kakigori". It's Japanese crushed ice, much like ice kachang except that there's only one variety of topping you can pick. I chose mango. The very unique thing is that they come with small bottle of sauce which you can just put onto your Kakigori in case you find it too bland for your liking. Of course, the sauce is really sweet and so you are advised to use with caution.



There's a small piece of paper behind the bottle of sauce, basically what that is is a little explanatory note, which I think is one of the finer points of MOF, and really an indication of the kind of unparagoned service they provide. It explains what Kakigori actually is, and what the sauce is, in case you didn't know.

So after that I went home to a surprise: The mango cake that my mom had bought earlier :D

As you might already know, I'm so crazy about mango that if you notice my ice cream was mango too XD



All in all, it was a rather enjoyable 14th birthday, with a nice meal with my family. I think what really matters is that you're with your family, because that's what makes a birthday so special. I don't think you would enjoy your birthdays the same if you had to buy the slice of cake on your own, squat in a corner and sing "happy birthday to me!"

So yeah, I guess I do have a lot of things to do now, so I'll just end off with a picture of the converse tee that you've all been waiting for!
