Anyway, today's E-learning day, which meant it was multiple days at once. By right it's a Tuesday, but a timetable swap made it Thursday, and school scheduling made it E-learning day, but it totally felt like a Saturday, so everyone was a bit disoriented and confused (apart from the crazy productive people, who finish everything by morning while the rest of us slumber on peacefully).
Since we had to follow Thursday's timetable instead, my class is the only class that has to take this Ecology quiz online, which was a real breeze to do (because espace has several loopholes that make your life easy). The notes weren't even notes; they were links to videos that school Internet connection is too slow to load in time. And there was this Chem worksheet we had to do to, and thanks to Mrs Soong's uploaded lecture sound clip, it wasn't hard either.
Cluster outing to Dozo today, which is this interesting Japanese-style restaurant where they serve you high-class meals in a high-class setting (with pretty high costs too, mind you).
Food was incredibly excellent and was served with ridiculously nice cutlery (and an assortment of spoons and forks and knives which gave us a bit of trouble deciding which to use). Six-course meal (as I ordered) commenced as follows:
1. Mouth-washing sour plum cold drink thing.
2. Course 1: A platter of random stuff the chef decides would be nice to cook today. Consisted of scallop with sea salt and egg white bubbles, some mushroom thing with some bread thing, and (the best of the three) smoked salmon with spring onion. Oh so good, Jesus. By this time we were all starving after travelling and waiting for buses in the rain.
3. Course 2: Starter of tempura soft-shelled crab with mashed potato and random other fried things which we think are carrot, crab stick and apple.
4. Course 3: Mushroom soup with a teeny bit of truffle. I love hot creamy soup.
5. Course 4: Beef tenderloin on some leaf on some rock. Basically it resembled some high-class Pepper Lunch. Had to lay out the beef so it would cook evenly, and it was sizzling so well I think we had massive self-control to prevent ourselves from drooling openly.
6. Course 5: Dessert, mine of which consisted of green tea ice cream and two mochi things.
7. Course 6: Drinks (actually we had this tea thing throughout, but this was like the more expensive stuff we ordered). Many of us ordered this 'Mocktail of Love' thing, just because it sounded funky and we were all curious. Turns out it's this pinkish drink served in elongated test tubes (we swear that they're real laboratory equipment, and we've worked in enough labs to know this) that's slightly fruity and slightly minty and really cold because the two tubes come in this icy glass thing.
8. Some mouth-cleansing green minty thing nobody else liked except me, Deborah and Amelia, which we dubbed "Hulk Juice". Ended up mixing all the drinks together stupidly, and drinking from our Mocktail of Love test tubes, because it's always been a dream to drink out of test tubes. Mm yeahh.
Such good food, really. Like, sometimes you really have to pamper yourself with good stuff like that. Then you're like, oh yeah, life is great and fulfilling and my taste buds are happy and my digestive system is satisfied.
Best cluster outing food I've ever had? Best cluster outing food I've ever had. And all thanks to Ms Kong, too.
Om nom.
