Outdoor Fashion Shoot and Japanese Curry House, Coco ICHIBANYA

Ever since I joined the fashion industry some sixteen months ago, people have been telling me how differently I dress up nowadays. I guess this change is just a "by-product" of running an ever changing and fast moving fashion-related business. While I used to clad myself in well fitted office wear and shoes, now my most common attire consists mainly of casual tops and shorts. When I meet up with friends, I also prefer to wear more stylish designs compared to the more formal styles I used to like. I find myself also quick to follow the latest trend and one of them that I would never have imagined myself following a year ago is the Neon Fashion style.

As the trans-boundary haze situation caused by the illegal burning of peat lands and forest in Indonesia  improves to an acceptable level last weekend, we took the chance to do a short outdoor shoot for a couple of neon designs.

First look:


Neon Mod Dress From Lace And Buttons
Sunglass from Japan
Black Velvet Platform Shoes from City Square, JB
Beaded Earrings and Rose Bangle are both gifts   



Second Look:


Lime Scallop Shift Dress from Lace And Buttons
Retro Earrings from Jcube Shopping Mall
Sunglass is a gift



Bernard and I really love how the pictures turn out! All the sweat and mild danger of air pollution that day were worth it when we see how great the pictures turned out :).  

After the photoshoot, we went for dinner at Coco ICHIBANYA, a Japanese restaurant specializing in curry dishes.


Iced Milked Tea (with syrup and milk provided to us to add according to our on preference) and  Salad with  Japanese Seasoning
Kim Chi Pork Slices with Mildly Hot Curry 
Cheese Fried Pork Chop with Medium Hot Curry 
The taste of the food is certainly up to expectation! We like the fact that the restaurant allows their customers to choose the level of spiciness of the curry they can take from Level one (least spicy) to five (most spicy). The amount of rice can be adjusted as well which is perfect for me as I usually prefer not to have too much rice!

If you are in the mood for some Japanese curry, you may want to consider paying Coco ICHIBANYA a visit.

Excellent Korean BBQ at Great Prices!

Bernard had been craving for some Korean barbecue cuisine at a reasonable price so we decided to head down to Johor Bahru to try out the food at a newly opened Korean restaurant in City Square Mall. We had been eyeing this restaurant for some time now as we had previously checked out the menu and remembered that the prices were relatively cheaper than what we could find in Singapore for higher end restaurants serving Korean barbecue.


The newly opened restaurant was fairly packed on a Saturday afternoon. Interesting looking smoke chimneys hanging from the ceiling!
As I don't take beef and chicken is not available on the menu, we decided to go for marinated pork ribs and pork belly. In case you have not tried authentic Korean BBQ before, all meat sets are served with an assortment of fresh greens as wraps for the meat after they are cooked. In Bornga Restaurant, the waitress assigned to serve our table helped to bbq the meat for us.



Side dishes (e.g. Kim Chi, Beansprouts, Korean Seasoning Salad, Green Onions Salad, Radish and Spinach)  as appetizers and sauces including Korean sweet sauce and chilli to go with the food
The green leafy vegetables not only looked appetizing but were also really fresh and delicious! Great complement to the BBQ meat.
BBQ in the best way - traditional charcoal grill
Pork belly and onions on the grill
BBQ pork ribs served fresh and hot!
The simplest way to eat is to wrap the BBQ meat in a lettuce and savor it together. Dip the meat into some sauce before wrapping if preferred.


We loved the BBQ pork ribs! The meat was really well marinated with a sweet, delectable flavor. Super tasty! The pork belly set we ordered did not come with special marination and therefore the taste was much milder but still quite good as we could enjoy its original flavor. The only thing that I did not really like was that the skin (uppermost layer of the pork belly slices) was a little hard to chew and there were some bones which caused some inconvenience. Both meat dishes tasted great with the crunchy vegetables and sauces!
 To end off, here was my outfit of the day:


Mosiac Peplum Top in Pink from Lace And Buttons

The bill added up to less than SGD$15 per pax! Pretty affordable for such high quality BBQ food in our opinion :). Apart from BBQ, Bornga Restaurant also serves other Korean dishes such as Army Stew (my next food interest!), Bibimbap and Tofu Kim Chi Soup etc..
