Lunch at Ryoma


Recently made a trip to Ryoma restaurant to taste and try out the Japanese food. Apparently, the food is prepared by a 65 year old Japanese chef. Ryoma is situated near Island Plaza and the restaurant have ample carpark.

Wife and I sampled some food, the quality is not bad, food is delicious. Although both of us felt a bit thirsty, must be some ajino-moto. Overall, the food is good, price wise is higher than the usual japanese fast food or japanese restaurant wannabe but not too much.

The ambience is quite good, maybe a way bit too dark. Some pics taken at Ryoma below:

Keeping my gear dry



After having my old analogue SLR kit lens infected with mould or fungus, I have decided to get myself a dry cabinet.

According to the booklet, camera and lens should be kept at 40% humidity, at that humidity, the environment is dry enough to keep it mould and rust free.

The dry cabinet needs a few hours to bring the humidity down, try to keep only essential items and not rubbish inside. After a few tries, try to avoid keeping box and lots of paper in the dry cabinet, it needs a longer time to bring the humidity down.

Dry cabinet specs:
  • 30 litres capacity( good for 2 bodies and some lens )
  • Analogue hygrometer
  • Electronically driven ( 16W, I hope that's correct )
