@grunt72 - the shabu shabu was on a small street about 5 minutes south-west of Tokyo Station. Super good quality and a great value - only 3,780 JPY / pax for all-you-can-eat and also includes drinks. Will try and look at old photos to get the name of the place or address for you.
I'm super hungry now thinking of this...

@grunt72 - I think the price was about $300 SGD per pax for an extended omakase set and lots of sake & beer. If you have a local friend to call and ask for a reservation that would be your best bet - I don't think it is easy or even possible for foreigners to go alone, and believe booking is super hard even for locals.

If I could have one app on my phone when I am on holiday, this would be it. The ability to head into a general area and then use the GPS features to find other nearby attractions, restaurants, etc and then point me there with a simple arrow is seriously amazing - especially without needing to get a SIM card for data.
This app has literally changed the way I travel - I now spend a lot more time doing and enjoying instead of planning or missing out.

Not only do I use XE Currency nonstop when I travel, I also use it all the time at home when checking forex rates or making overseas purchases. It is incredibly convenient after you configure the few currencies you're interested in, and has prevented all those costly miscalculations I used to make when manually converting foreign currencies.

While I am already quite meticulous about managing my trips in Excel spreadsheets, calendars, and DropBox folders, WorldMate is a must-have tool to always know when/where my next flight is and what hotel we to go to. The simplicity of opening the app and seeing everything neatly organized at your fingertips - all without doing anything other than forwarding confirmation emails - is magical.

Use the offline map functionality to cache maps that you can later use when you're out and about without internet access. The maps are saved on your phone and the location is based off of GPS, which is always free and requires no SIM card / telco connection.

Wow this looks straight out of France - can't tell that it is in Singapore. Will definitely make a visit to try out sometime.

Wow this looks awesome! Was this at a kitesurfing school or did you go on your own?

Haven't tried the Tuesday oyster nights yet ($2 / oyster, and 10% off any sparkling wine or champagne) but if it is anything like the food or drinks here it should be totally worth it. Should pair nicely with the wine buffet!

The daily 4-hour wine buffet (5pm - 9pm) is great value for money. Not sure about the red wine, white wine, or beer, but the moscato and prosecco are great picks.

I grew up on this shit! It may not be as great when watching in hindsight (IMHO), but it was absolute gold for my childhood.

I was really happy to find this show compared to all the random fantasy / thriller / action / mystery shows on the market now. Reminds me of life in the US and how fun it can be, and also brings the focus back to family and happy endings without needing crazy amounts of action / sex / profanity to get there. Moreso than most others, I feel happy when I watch Modern Family.

LOVE South Park. When I was younger and this just came out, it was adult potty humor and nothing more (IMHO). Since then it has evolved into giving meaningful insights into current affairs globally while still being entertaining and funny as hell. One of the very few shows I still actually watch.
Highly recommend the 'Freemium Isn't Free' show. Can watch all the full episodes for free at http://southpark.cc.com/ that is, unless you live in blocked countries like Singapore =\

Love the silly humor of Steve Carell & crew. Watched this religiously in college for the first few seasons, then kinda dropped off after that.

Definitely one of the tops of my list too. Love all the highs and lows - you really make a connection with the characters after a few seasons.
ps. Monica is freaking hot

OMG YES! Totally recommend this to everyone who visits SF / Berkeley. Wish they had pizza like this in Singapore

Used in conjunction with prepaid cards, this is my most consistent spending every month. While not the most amazing card on its own due to being limited to $2k and online purchases - the flexibility it offers via prepaid top ups is truly liberating.
When people don't want to bother with having a ton of cards and remembering how/when to use each, I always recommend this one (plus a prepaid) as the simplest solution while still getting 4 miles / S$.

An absolute must for the min-maxer, the convenience these cards enable when used with other cards is great. Use it to handle those small bills (e.g. $4.99, $9.99) where other cards round down to the nearest $5 for mileage. Top it up to 'spend' an exact amount of money within a certain timeframe for another card's promotion. And lastly, invaluable as a filler card for transactions that couldn't earn 4 miles / S$ otherwise.
Doubles as an EZ-Link card that you can personalize as well.

Great tasting chicken Caesar salad that will fill you up, unlike a lot of the other similarly priced salads around the CBD. The pulled pork and fish tacos are also very nice. Love the atmosphere and the friendly staff - they really treat you like you're a buddy visiting their home.
