It was a hot and steamy Friday morning in Singapore with warnings of torrential rains late in the afternoon.
I enjoy Singapore Zoo, you don’t have the depressing concrete and wire cages that you see in many zoos around the region.

I’d just gotten back from my second Japan trip and was on my way with a mate to hopefully watch Hawthorn continue on their journey for their 4th consecutive AFL premiership.
I’d walked past this particular restaurant many times mid afternoon when it was closed, but this evening it’d be open and we’d be walking up Little Bourke Street on the way to the match at The G.

I’m a sucker for Tonkatsu – Japanese crumbed and deep fried pork cutlets. Yummy!
On my first trip to Japan I stumbled across this restaurant (which I later found out was a chain) on my last night in Tokyo, so when I came back to Tokyo for my second trip I knew I’d be having a couple of meals here.
