Of course I know. There’s just something so appealing about that chick who can speak more than 3 languages, isn’t it? Well, if you can’t match her linguistic talent, beef up your Japanese vocabulary with exotic words such as nigiri, sashimi, gunkan, donburi, maguro, sake, chirashi, hotate, and hamachi before grasping her dainty hands to the Standing Sushi Bar.
If all fails, wow your date by giving her a crash course on how to gulp down the must-try ultra-tantalising slimy salt-water sea, Anago Nigiri in one slurp. Just attempt to do it at first try or visit Standing Sushi Bar beforehand and practice if you must. By the way, don’t worry about making her eat while standing. That’s for lunch only. Seats are available for dinner.
Have fun gulping down an Anago!
Order:
2 Anago ($6 each)
1 Yaki Meishi fried rice ($10)
1 Maguro and Salmon Sashimi Combo ($12)
2 Hotate Nigiri ($4 each)

Eyeing for that sweet-little-thing aren’t you? Oh that shy, meek looking babe who tries to hide whenever she sees a big-bad-wolf like you lurking around the corner? Worry not. I have the perfect plan to catch her off guard. Ice Cream! Don’t you now? Ice cream is always an ally when it comes to seducing docile ladies. Try tempting her to grab a cuppa smooth ice cream sundae at Once Upon A Milkshake and indulge in role-play.
She can be Agent Strawberry and you could be her Nutty Peanut Butler for the rest of the day. Whatever. Choose your own flavours and get into the character. Oh don’t get me started on how to play-act. That is homework. Figure it out yourself. If all goes well, you better thank Once Upon A Milkshake for coming up with such creative names.
Hello, Agent Strawberry!
Order:
2 mini milkshakes ($3.30 each)
2 cups of Choco chip cookies ($2.50 each)
Choco brownie ($3.30) + Ice Cream ($5.50)
