We have been calling IKOI at Miramar Hotel many times for buffet dinner but each time we call, they are fully booked... However, today when we called, they told us they had counter seats and asked if we wanted to sit at the counter... Daddy initially refused but eventually gave in since I told him I was craving for Salmon Sashimi.... but the only disadvantage was, we were only given 6pm to 7.45pm for dinner afterwhich we had to leave... Imagine, their business is so good that they have 2 or 3 dinner seating timing during every weekends and are always fully-booked... Wow!!!
my favourite lilies.... i just love the fragrance of lilies....
at the entrance of ikoi japanese restaurant.... i have been here for lunches and dinner several times but this is daddy's and amanda's first time here.....
amanda eagerly waiting for the doors to open.... we didn't want to be late since we only had 1hr 45min to eat....
their buffet menu... in all, we paid around S$102 for our dinner.... it's really worth it, after you see how much food we ate.... heehee....

What a spectacular show.... It's simply awesome!!! (though I didn't manage to capture all the fireworks and I think I missed out some really nice ones).... We are impressed!! How lovely to be able to see fireworks every Fridays and Saturdays other than during National Day Parade and rehearsals....
Well done Universal Studios Singapore!!
