meder & nicholl's birthday

Yesterday the climbing gang celebrated Meder's belated birthday (November) and Nicholl's beearlied birthday (today). Meder was in Bangkok on his birthday and I promised to treat him once he's back, but he flew back to Kyrgyzstan before I had a chance, so it's 2 months late =P

Following our climbing gang's tradition of celebrating birthday at Japanese restaurant, we went to Kyoto Sabo Aji Tei (京都茶房“味亭”) at Bugis Junction yesterday. The food there is nice! I wanted to order kids meal, but... the portion was too small, so I ordered something else. We had "Sayuri" nigori sake, which was quite nice compared to the unknown sake we had at Sakae some 1 year ago. The bottle's pink colour is quite cute too (it's the bottle, not the sake that's pink). Then near the end the sake became real milky, and we realize we forgot to shake well before serving... Meder had one whole cup untouched.

Do check out the dessert, since it's the restaurant's selling point. The parfait is simply fantastic. Meder was saying macha is singular for urine in his language while mochi is plural. I guess Kyrgz won't like Japanese food =P
