Daidomon, St Games & Benten Cafe - Rin

Randy and I met up with Liz, Jon and Slash in the morning at around 11, went for daidomon after saying for so long, its a charcoal bbq restaurant @ united square. Had a lot of food (pork belly, loin, kidney, chicken wing and leg, etc) and we crap a lot as well when we were there. Think this place is kind of small but it's really suitable for everyone especially the ladies, cause we won't really need to worried we will smelled like bbq, we was there for nearly 3 hours and after we left we didn't even smell a hint of smoke, not sure if it is due to the charcoal they use or the high ceiling that they have. It's a place I would definately go back again.

The bbq metal wiring with the best charcoal I had ever seen, the charcoal uncle did a really really really good job.

Lizzie ordering the food.

Us. But with Randy covering his face with his green tea.

The sauce given to us, the one on the left is lime juice while the one on the right is some kind of korean sauce, it's a little salty.

The sushi included in the buffet menu.

Salmon & butter fish sashimi, the salmon one was nice but the butter fish tasted like raw cod fish, didn't like the oily feeling, it's like eating fats.

2 of the side dishes they offer, deep fried baby squid and chicken. Other dishes include fried rice, fried noodles, braised pork with mushroom as well as japanese hotppt (ie oden).

Jon's & Slash's bbq, it's looks nice and meaty isn't it?

Randy's, liz's and my side of bbq, slash keep saying we are the so called healthy gang, cause we have veg on our bbq all the time.

BBQ cabbage, Don't judge it by the way it looks, its really yummy

Vegetable platter. (Cabbage, corn, sweet potatoes, lady fingers, onions, pumpkin) Personally I think it would be a lot better if they include eggplant and capsicum as well.

Lamb intercostal or inter something. Didn't really like this, the lamb smell was really heavy despite the seasonings. This is the only meat that they supply butter.

Pig tongue, it's really chewy and crunchy.

Another of my favourite, kidneys, if you are bbq this, think it might be better and easier to cook if you ask for the aluminum bowl from the waitress.

Pork Liver, its a little hard to bbq pork liver, its my first and I have no doubt my last time doing that.

Porl (Left) and Chicken (Right) Saugage. The Pork one is really salty, but the chicken one was still ok, but personally I didn't like it.

Chicken Mid joint and boneless chicken leg, the chicken mid joint was nice after bbq.

Pork Belly, Liz's and my favourite among all the meats.

Pork Loin with their specialty sauce, randy liked this.

Raspberry Ripple Ice cream, it felt really nice to have something sweet after so much of meaty and salty food

After our buffet lunch @ Daidomon, all of us went over to St games located @ novena sq 2, was thinking of trying out the palce as the game console rental place at cineleisure was really expensive. Tubei came over to join us at around 2 plus 3. We spend about $17 each inclusive of the lifetime memebership, 3 hours of gaming, a drink as well as a slice of cake. We played quite a number of games such as house of the death 2, raving rabbits, mario kart, cooking mama and etc. All of us had lots of fun playing raving rabbits.

Slash & Jon playing mario kart, Jon was the champion, he played with a single hand.

Liz and me, waiting to start on our house of death, its unlike the arcade ones, its so much more difficult to aim using the wiii control

All of us left St games at around 5.30pm, after straining out arms muscle. Muahahaha, we went over to iluma @ bugis, was exploring the mall, realise there are lots of shops selling guys stuff there, so guys who love shopping can check it out. There were a handful of restaurant there was well, but nothing seems to catch our attention, so we decide to go to coffee bean for some coffee before going over to benten cafe for my ultimate ice cream challange.

Most of us wasn't hungry but liz and I wanted something salty so we decided to try the hamburg with demi-glace sauce, the sauce was simply the heinz canned version, so was kind of disappointment, but I loved the fries a lot.

Choice of hamburg with bread of rice, neither of us wanted rice, so we ordered bread. I didn't really like it

Our ultimate ice cream challange, this huge tub of ice cream cost us $38.80, there are lots of toppings, but we were kind of disappointed which we realise that the ice cream that they used are normal vanilla ice cream instead of soft serve. We found lots of corn flakes in the middle and at the bottom of the tub as well, the corn flakes was really making all of us full so we didn't manage to finish the tub

Ice Cream toppings: Bananas, kiwis, oranges, blueberries, honeydew, apples, caramel puddings, marble cake, chocolate wafer sticks and last but not least rainbow ice cream. The rainbow ice cream tasted exactly like wall's paddle pop.

My current buffet gang, raymond and boon couldn't make it because one has a family dinner and another had a badminton game.

This is what is left, we managed to clear at least 3/4 of the tub, which is a huge accomplishment.

The fruits that was unwanted, namely the oranges and pineapples that looks ridiculously sour.
