We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

Ootoya finally! I've previously tried to dine in Ootoya but the queue is damn long la! It doesnt help that the restaurant is not very big to start with. Went had lunch at 4pm finally as our first few choices were closed after lunch hours already. After placing our orders, I started to explore their condiments!
Chili Powder! I love this chili powder with the Yoshinoya rice bowl. heh.
This black sesame with salt is also very interresting! Boon tried to put in his rice and it really made the rice more fragrant and tastier!
Appetizers!
To say the truth, the menu at Ootoya is pretty limited. They do not even have my fave chawamushi!? We ordered this seaweed dish anyway, it was wot they used to serve at wasabei tei! But the rest do not seem to recall this except me =\
Salad! I really love this salad cos of the fried chicken bits! The lotus root is an interesting veg inside too! In fact alot of their dishes includes lotus root!
The side that came with the set includes a piece of lotus root too!
Boon's chicken and veggie soup. i think its nt bad cos kunnie kept drinking it!
boons rice that came with his soup =) i dont really know wots the watery lump! but interestingly the rice is steamed right in front of us! =)
I ordered the makerel, theres nt much choices for fish i dont remember if they have salmon etc but anyway this fish is pretty well done, its crispy on the ourside and juicy on the inside. P finished the whole fish for me!
P's stir fry onion pork which i felt was normal. i like the onions nonetheless and the few stalks of penne at the bottom, i've no idea why its there but its really yummy!
Kun's bbq pork! this is very yummy! overall i feel ootoya brands itself as a healthy japanese restaurant cos most of their food seemed very healthy with all the lotus roots etc haha.
