Yesterday was Aya's birthday. I drove down to Sydney on Friday night to give her a surprise. I think it was worth it because of her genuine surprised and shocked look when she saw me.
For her birthday, I gave her a MoPod as well as iPod socks. See the photos below.
MoPod is one of those new gadgets that lights up when there is a call or message. But other than those effects, the little 'thing' in there actually spins around.
In case you do not know what the iPod socks are, they are the little covers on the ears of Ah Pooh and the short, flabby arms and legs of the black piggy, used as a cover for iPods.
We had dinner last night at Kobe Jones at King Street Wharf in Darling Harbour. It's one of those Japanese Western fusion restaurant franchise. It was quite good actually, except that we ordered too much food. Because it was our first time there, I think perhaps we ordered too many fried stuff.
The first thing that we had was a sushi roll dish named 'Volcano Roll'. It's california roll with a cream based sauce with scallops. That was a good one, highly recommended, and it does look like a volcano.
The next one is a deep fried soft shell crab dish on some fried noodles and potatoes. The presentation was definitely good, so is the crab, but perhaps having too much fried food stops you from enjoying more.
The next one is a large dish of cold noodles with again fried unagi, something like a cold soba dish but the sauce is more of a balsamic vinegar salad dressing. The deep frying probably destroyed the original taste and texture of the unagi (eel) but the noodles is highly recommended. Really good!
The fourth one is strangely named 'Number 1 Special', probably named so because it is at the top of their signature dish list. Each one is about the size of a small tea cup but it's 7 bucks for one. It is actually 'crab salad with avocado wrapped in snapper and baked with KJ's cream sauce'.
The last one is a 'Green Tea Salmon'. It sounds nice but it is not, maybe because we were quite full then and weren't able to appreciate it. But I think the grilled salmon was too salty and the sauce was plain. That dish costs 21 buck!
I will post some more photos of us at the restaurant and the darling harbour view from the restaurant later.... Here they are...
Aya is definitely enjoying herself :P
