I think it really has been a long time last time I managed to come for my appointment in time. Phew ! This time round, I am the one waiting for those that are late. Took some pictures of the restaurant while waiting for them.

久しぶりに約束に間に合ったなあ〜僕は普通に友達を待たさせてけどさ、今回は僕が早めに来てたね。みんなビックリしたて。友達を待ちながら、ラストランを写真撮ります！

I did not really know that we are going for buffet this evening and anyway, I have not eaten anything since morning. Good time to replenish my stomach ! After calculation, we have eaten a total of 21 different dishes that night, but considering that the portion are miserable, like a piece per person ?　(The food did not really fill my stomach and I was craving for something else though)

Really, I do not know what is so nice about Sashimi. Love it in the past, but does not really fancy it now. Perhaps I have lived in Japan for too long ? Getting a bit sick of it.

こっちは日本料理食べ放題をやってる、友達は前に全然言わなかった。まあ、いい。朝から何も食べなかった。 総会計は２１類の料理食べたが、お腹まだ空いてるって。多分おいしくないので、ほかの食べ物を食べたいわ。

My personel feel is that this restaurant is good for those that have big appetite while the taste wise seems to be normal or slightly below the standards. I think we paid around 40 bucks each for the buffet. The only plus point I would give them would be the atmosphere, it has a fusion of Japanese's styled Izakaya with a modern design and space.

今回は食べ放題だけど、４０ドラルを払ったちょっともったいないこと。料理の用意普通より良くないと思う。。雰囲気が唯一いい所で、日本の居酒屋とモダンな気持ちを触れてる。 

Anyway, for those who are interested in Japanese cuisine buffet, you can still give it a try. Details as below.

Nothing much to do so we decided to land ourselves in Marina Barrage for kite flying viewing. Managed to notice this view while climbing the spiral stairs. Perhaps we are there too early, there wasn't any wind at all and kite flying as well. By the time I reaches the top, I was perspiring with sweat. Then it is time we decided to go for some desserts.
