Singapore - It had been a while since I last met my old classmates, so when we finally agreed to catch up, we decided to keep things simple; good food, good company, and a bit of adventure. We chose dinner at Saboten, a cosy Japanese restaurant known for its tonkatsu.
The evening started with the familiar warmth of reconnecting. The moment we sat down, conversations flowed naturally with updates about work, family, and of course, plenty of laughter about our school days. It’s always amazing how friendships can pick up right where they left off, no matter how much time has passed.
I ordered the large tonkatsu set, and it did not disappoint. The pork cutlet was beautifully golden and crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside. Each bite had that perfect crunch, followed by the rich flavour of the meat. What made the meal even better was the free flow of fresh shredded cabbage, rice, and miso soup. The cabbage was crisp and refreshing, balancing the richness of the tonkatsu, while the warm miso soup added a comforting touch to the meal.
We took our time enjoying dinner, refilling our cabbage and rice, chatting and laughing between bites. It wasn’t just about the food; it was the experience of sharing it together. To end the meal on a sweet note, we were each served a complimentary scoop of green tea ice cream. Light, slightly bitter, and refreshing, it was the perfect finish.
After dinner, we hopped on the free shuttle bus from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4, enjoying the short ride and continuing our conversations.
From there, we made our way to Jurassic Mile—a unique outdoor attraction that adds a fun twist to a simple walk. Stretching about 1 kilometre, it is Singapore’s largest permanent outdoor display of life-sized dinosaurs, featuring more than 20 prehistoric creatures along a cycling and jogging path.
Walking along the path felt almost surreal. Towering dinosaurs stood on both sides, some reaching up to nearly five metres tall . From the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex to giant dinosaur eggs, the displays were impressively lifelike. We couldn’t resist stopping for photos, posing, joking, and even attempting some “dinosaur encounters” for fun.
The path itself was lively, with both walkers and cyclists passing by, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. We walked at a relaxed pace, enjoying the night air and the simple joy of being together. Conversations became deeper as the night went on—less about the past, more about where we are now and where we’re heading.
