A Rare Meet Up

When I received the news from Alex that he will be visiting SIN on a business trip, I was really happy and immediately tried to set a date to meet up at least for dinner. I remembered the last time he visited SIN with his dad and brother Otto was about 4 years ago.

This time, he visited SIN for work and we are happy that he managed to squeeze time out to meet us for dinner. Susan & I met up with him earlier for kopi session near his hotel and had a quick catch up while waiting for the restaurant to open.

He chose Japanese over Western food…. Hahahaahahah… obviously right! We found out that there is a Japanese restaurant just around the corner of his hotel and decided to give it a shot. Akashi used to be housed in Tanglin Shopping Centre but now they are at Orchard Rendezvous Hotel which is formerly known as Orchard Parade Hotel. 

When we entered the restaurant, it looked pretty expensive but to our relief, the price was quite reasonable like other family restaurant. We browsed through the menu and ordered couple of dishes to share. Their food wasn’t too bad and I like their yakitori and the grilled squid. It was really tasty! For the tempura, not too oily but I am no fan of Tempura so… I didn’t really score it. 😊

We had so much catching up to do and we were happy to be informed that Otto will be getting hitched next January and wedding will be held in Perth. Till then, the whole family will be transiting in Singapore and we hope that it will be another opportunity for us to catch up again.
