Since we were in the East visiting the in-laws, we decided to drop by the new IKEA at Tempines… figuring that the hype would have died down by today. But no, it was still crowded; and it got even more so by the time we left.
Still, it was an impressive place. It was so huge that we didn’t feel at all crowded despite the amount of people pouring into the place. Plus, free parking is always a plus in our book…
Samurai, Katana and… Knives?
Finally unpacked and used the knife I bought from Japan for the first time today!




Made the same way as the old Samurai’s Katana, these knives are a work of art to behold, and a joy to use. Beautifully balanced and oh, so sharp ~ nothing less than perfection is expected from the shop that has been in operation since 1590: Aritsugu
Cooking is *so* going to be a joy now
