The carpark is not very user friendly, we had to drive up all the way up to the 9th floor for a lot - this is the same floor as my house lor. As we were both hungry, we went straight in search of Marutama Ramen located on the 3rd floor. There is a relatively long queue but luckily we managed to get seats in a short time coz those ppl in front of us came in groups and they only have counter seat for two which is just nice for us. Thats the good thing having dinner with lesser ppl.
The place is opened and served by mostly Japanese, even those who are not Japanese can speak the language fluently. The whole setting is so cool and it really reminds us of our Japan trip last year. We ordered two Marutama Ramen with Ajitsuke Tamago (seasonal egg) - One with Kakuni (Pork Bellies) and the other with Char Siu. While waiting for our dinner, we saw that they automate the way they cook Ramen. The strainer which contains the Ramen will automatically lift up once it is cooked. Something interesting.... Maybe i can introduce this to those popular hawkers at Amoy Street so that they can streamline their process and do their work more efficiently.
On the whole, it doesnt taste as good as i expect - it is a little salty and expensive. I will prefer the soup base to be pork broth instead of chicken. Anyway although i will not go there in near future, it is still worth a try.
We went to shop around and saw this nice Nipponya selling nice and "looks delicious" Japanese snacks. I was mesmerized by the window display and tempted to purchase at least one back home but when i looked at the price, it is takai (exp) man. It doesnt take me so much to buy the same thing if i were to purchase in Japan. So in the end, i left empty handed. Then we came across mini donut and croissant shop...wanted to buy some but realise that we only had about $4.50 cash in total. So we went in search for ATM and got to know that the nearest is either at Chinatown or Liang Court --- aiyo it is so far.... Ultimately, we bought the croissants only which cost $2.80. 
Happy with my purchase, we went upstairs to take a peak at the Singapore River night view... Then i saw Hokkaido ice cream shop. Argh!!!! it is such an agony looking at the ice cream and the cash on hand and I really regretted purchasing the croissants. Anyway BE had promised to bring me there again for the ice cream. This time round, I will make sure i have ample cash in my wallet.Wanted to pay our godson a visit but he was at his maternal granny place so we decided to check out the prawn fishing @ Bottle Tree Park located at Sembawang or opposite Yishun stadium since the night is still young. Nice place for prawning next time but it is a pity that it closes early at about 12am.
