Late Night Sushi on Le Thanh Ton


Where do you go when it's past midnight and all you can think about is sushi?


Robata Dining An is located @ 15C Le Thanh Ton in the middle of Little Tokyo.  Squeeze through the tiny door and plop those weary bones down at the sushi bar.  Order from the sushi menu or go for their array of grilled meats and fish. 


They remain open and smiling into the wee hours of the night.



Tuna Roll
Super California Roll without Mayo
Salmon Roll
Gyoza


A proper feed before sleeping off the night's revelry.

Pictures from Extinction: The Dodos Live @ SGOC



Let the Darwinian struggle begin... may the best beast win.


Oh, Joy Oi!  The shape of your sounds sets alight our mottled path.







Big riffs, boy/girl harmony, and synth squeals... fun times as the sun withdrew. 




Soaring guitar leads and exuberant beats from Timekeeper








The Dodos topped off the evening with their distinctive blend of rhythmic chord patterns, emotionally resonant vocals, and percussive hijinks.  A great show by a great band.

Pulau Kapas, Part 1: A Stroll Along the Beach


Pulau Kapas, located just six kilometers off of the coast of north-eastern Malaysia, is severely underrated.  If beach-bumming is your prerogative, leaving this blissfully torpid island off of your itinerary is a blunder.



Ancient rock formations speak of the advanced age of this part of the world - this island has looked very similar for the past 130 million years.















Reach the island by a ferry departing from Marang, a coastal burgh.  Bring cash supplies.


  We visited in July 2012.
