[Personal] Lunch at Gin Khao + Eco Movie Screening of A Plastic Ocean presented by Marina Bay Alliance


After coaching, boss treated us to lunch at Gin Khao, a Thai restaurant. This is actually the first time we had Thai food with boss because usually we would go for either Chinese or Japanese food. So we thought that he don’t like to eat Thai food. A refreshing choice. 


Food was great and we ended up having a small debate on what fish they used for this dish. 


After work, my mom brought my girl from school to meet me at Raffles Place as I've registered for tickets to an Eco Movie Screening hosted by Marina Bay Alliance. We love having the Kagome juice and this is for the campaign to pledge for a healthier lifestyle with Kagome. 


The film screening was held at Marina One West Tower, Auditorium hall at level 3. Before the film screening, there were some mini workshops booths outside where we can do some tote bag painting, natural scrub making and complimentary Ben & Jerry ice cream. Didn't really take part in these workshops as we were on our way to find dinner. We did have our share of complimentary Ben & Jerry Ice cream ! One thing about this place in the CBD is that dinner options is literally very few. I thought I remembered there's a food court at level 2 but turns out the food court has been replaced by a buffet outlet called Overeat. Looks great but we don't really have enough time to go for buffet so we just settled with some small bites. Have also feedback to the organiser that they should include some F&B booths too . 


A Plastic Ocean is a multi-award winning film where Journalist Craig Leeson teams up with scientists and researchers and diver Tanya Streeter as they travel to twenty locations over a period of four years to explore on the state of the oceans. The main focus of this is on plastic pollution. 


At the end of the movie, there was a Kahoot game and my girl is actually one of the top few and won a mini eco prize. I think she kind of tikam the correct answers to the questions. Went back to have McDonald for late dinner but was being chased out after a while as there was an power shortage or something like that. 

"Eight million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the oceans each year and this threaten both people and wildlife. The plastic crisis is so serious that we could be ingesting around 5 grams of plastic that was found in our diet - that's the weight of a credit card!"

[Food] Delicious Japanese Pork Fair - Imakatsu + Yakiniku Heijoen

Delicious Japanese Pork Fair campaign was launch on 1st February by Delicious Japan SG. Under this campaign, 6 participating restaurants will each have their own special campaign menu for 1 particular dish that uses only premium Japanese Pork from Hokkaido, Kumamoto and Kagoshima. Diners get to enjoy this dish at a special price just by completing a simple survey online by scanning a QR code found at the restaurant. I've made it to 2 of the participating restaurants on two different days with my friends and I must say I'm super impressed with the quality and taste of the pork.

One of the special features of Japanese Pork is that the production and taste is unique to their own producer and region. With strict quality control, Japan is able to produce over 1.26 million tons of safe and high-quality pork every year making Japanese Pork one of Japan's world-class flavours and quality food.


Imakatsu - Guoco Tower
Kurobuta Pork Katsu Set (130g) ($20, U.P. $30)

Had my dinner here with Kenny and Ck on the first day of the campaign, as it was dinner time, there's not much of a crowd in the CBD area. I love how tender and juicy the Pork Katsu is. The fresh bowl of salad is also super addictive especially after mixing in the sesame sauce. 


Yakiniku Heijoen - 100AM Mall
Hokkaido PORK Don Set (Belly) ($9.90++, U.P. $15.90++)


Came here for a mid-week lunch with Ck. The Hokkaido Pork was thinly sliced and comes in a generous serving. I really must gives a two thumbs up to the service here. We were served a glass of cold water when we arrived and a cup of hot green tea when we finished our meal. This is despite we only ordered this special set and didn't even ordered any drinks. They served us the drinks without any extra charges! Was really a very pleasant surprise, I guess I will be back again soon. Thank you so much!


Do note that this campaign ends on different dates for each restaurant and there is also a limited serving daily for the promotion dish per day. It is advisable to call up the restaurant before hand to check with them first before going down.
