Best Sushi in Tokyo - Sushi Dai 寿司大

This shop is super highly recommend by many travel blog, magazine and TripAdvisor.
The shop start operation from 5am end close at 2pm ( if i'm never read wrongly on the shop information paste on it). But i need to highlight, you may be disappointed if you come late, as they may end the Q earlier, due to long waiting time or running out of ingredients.
To get there from Shinjuku, take the Toei Oedo line (E27) and drop off the subway at (E18) Tsukijishijo Station and exit at Gate A1. This is the nearest subway station to Tsukiji Market .
We reached at around 6am and the que is already quite long. Everyone patiently wait for their turn. For us, we que almost 5hr... yes you never  hear wrongly.
You may check out the following website for the location:

Finally our que is outside the shop. The reason why the que is so long is due to the seating capacity. If not wrong, the max capacity is 15pax.

Since we que so long, we had chosen the Omasake Set which cost ¥4000 to enjoy 10pc sushi selected by the sushi chef +1pc of your choice. While waiting for our sushi to be serve, the set include yummy miso soup and piping hot tamagoyaki. 
Fatty Tuna
Sea Bass
Snapper
Sea Urchin
Yellow Tail from Hokkaido
The Scallop inside look super big and yummy
Yellow Jack
Skura
Not sure what type of hand roll. But taste like Maguro

Sea Eel
Clam ( Shell Fish)
It still moving when the chef give a hit on it
That the lovely chef who is preparing my last piece selected by myself. I like to have scallop and he prepared if fresh from the whole shell.
Here what we had. Left side scallop and right side abalone chose by Alan. Yum yum. 
After we finish our yummy sushi, out of curious we went to check how is the Que. It get shorter because a sign had been put up. And it was just coming to 11.30am. See that is why I highlight get there early to avoid disappointment.

Fleamarket at Macam Macam

I had always wanted to try selling in a flea market, and finally i took the step.

Searching online for quite sometimes on a cheap location, and well, i'm lucky to go for Macam Macam Flea market at IMH (institution of Metal Health).
It simply cost $10 for a stall and i was lucky to get it before it was taken up fully.


Well as a newbie, i'm not too sure what to sell, but my main aim is to clear all my unwanted stuff and balance stock that i had left over from my blog shop previously. So i think should not be that hard to get back my $10 rental right.

Before the day arrive, i'm rather excited and try to see how i should place my items and setup to be nice appealing to attract people to my stall.

So well that is how my stall look like:
Trying to arrange it at Home

On the actual day of event

Isn't that lovely and sweet? Overall, it was quite lucky that quite a number of people bought from me at this quiet neighborhood.

But the weather was rather hot, and lucky we were well prepare with cold icy water.

So if you are a newbie and wanted to try out fleamarket, i would say try Macam Macam. Overall is the experience that make the whole thing fun.

Dinner At CHEVAL

Feeling nice to wind down myself at Cheval on Monday. Break away those stressful life and had a nice relaxing dinner with hubby. CHEVAL is quietly sitted inside the Singapore Turf riding center where not many people had thought of. Looking out of the cafe is a nice horse training ground. We came slightly before the sunset and manage to snap a few good view of the environment.
As we walk down the stair from the car park here we see the cafe welcoming us for a relax dinner.
A simple deco cafe with yummy reasonable price food. We got set the set dinner which come with the soup of the, a main course, dessert and glass of beer /wine of your choice.
The chicken is tasty where I believe they use the thigh meat... well season with herbs. Soup was ok but will be great if the bread is toasted with garlic. The dinner ended with a nice yummy mango mouse cake. With the cost of $38++ I believe is worth especially when u select the lamb chop. Really a big piece where I still manage to take a bite as I really afraid of smell. The mint sauce is really a great help to cover the smell and make the lamb refreshing. Overall I would still go again on special occasions.
