JB CIty Square

Time out to the neighboring country for a foodie day! Considering the good exchange rate now, we can really eat till we dropped without burning a hole in our pocket!

1. Sushi King
First up in the itinerary is to Sushi King. Sushi on the conveyor belt is really a delight to the eyes. It is like a spread of buffet travelling in front of you while you eat!

The ingredients used were fresh and the sushi were reasonably priced. We had a very full stomach and the total damage was MR70 including drinks!

2. Arashi Shabu Shabu
Dinner was at Arashi Shabu Shabu. Each one had our own pot with our own set. Each set comes with a choice of soup base, the type of meat or seafood, a choice of noodle or rice and a bowl of vegetables, and ala carte items which I reckon should be their best selling items!

The meat was fresh and the the bowl of vegetables really complements the whole meal. Take a walk to the sauce counter to mix and match your preferred taste of sauce to dip in. What's best, a nice meal that cost us ard MR70 again!

The Ramen Stall

To The Ramen stall for a dinner was not a bad choice after all. Do head there early so that you do not have to queue long and also, a parking lot is easily available. No harm to start dinner early as you can hop over to other lanes for desserts and drink. The night never get late while in Kampung Glam area!

After some contemplating, I ordered the Volcano Ramen. You have the choice to choose the spicy level which range from level 1 to 3. I took the level 1 as I would like to taste the broth. But I reckon if you like spicy but does not know which level to choose, get the level 3. You can scoop out the chili when the ramen arrived and slowly add them back to get the right spiciness.

The broth was light and after the level 1 chili was mixed in, it tasted better. But if you do not really take spicy stuff, you can remove half of the chili, trust me. 

The Japanses style half boiled egg was well-cooked where we can taste the creamy side of the yolk. The crunchy corns, mushroom, minced meat and seaweed added texture to the whole dish. 

I gonna be back to try out the other food stuff. stay tune!

St Marc Café @ Marina Square

What's beat a hot weather? Definitely a cold dessert! 

Decided to head to Marina Square as, in our humble opinion, a quiet getaway place in town area. So, the early-comers managed to find seats in St Marc Cafe and there we stayed for hours, chitchatting, taking photos, and of course, eating!

Okay, a little about St Marc - it is a Japanese chain that serves pastry, coffee, parfaits and more. They also serve sandwich which make it a place for you to have a proper meal as well. 

At 3plus in the day, desserts become a great choice for me. Ordered the Classic Fuji - very nice! What can go wrong with ice cream and pastry. They took around 5 minutes to prepare the order - so when the buzzer buzzed, the freshly toasted buttery flavour croissant is served hot, topped with cold ice-cream with caramel sauce, red bean and macha. The croissant is pipping hot and crispy. I like!

Hoshino Coffee 星乃珈琲屋

Not the first time to Hoshino Coffee 星乃珈琲屋 at Plaza Singapura and the queue was normally long. I reckon is the waiting time for the food to be cooked and served to the table. I always have this mindset that Hoshino would prepare the food only when they received the order. Thus, it will always take more than 15 minutes for the food to be served. Thus, let's do some maths. If we took 5-10 minutes to decide what to order, than another 15 minutes for the food to be prepared, it will be 20-25 minutes before we started to eat. With another 15-20 minutes of eating and maybe another 10 minutes to dilly-dally a bit, it will be 35-45 minutes before the table can be freed up for the next diner. Woooow... 

Anyway, I always forget that the curry base served in Hoshino is cooked with beef. Thus, if you do not eat beef, then skip the rice section. I like the fact that the serving crew makes the effort (without fail) to remind diner of this clause - very responsible!

So in the end, the curry rice order became void and I ordered the Lobster Bisque Soup Spaghetti. So basically, drink the soup and eat the spaghetti. It's 2-in-1 dish, worth the $16. The spaghetti was simply al dente and went well with the bisque soup. With ingredients like tofu and prawns, this pasta simply makes it to one of the top place in my Japaneses pasta list. 

Desserts is simply a love-hate dish in this world. Chocolate Fondant cake with softee - a heavenly combination of the chocolate lava cake with ice cream! This lava cake took real long to be served - more than 15 minutes since we ordered it. I wondered if they actually started preparing only after the main course is being served or when we were half way through the meal. 

Cut the cake into half and see the chocolate flows out. Eat together with the soffee and it was marvelous. The portion was not that big, but was well enough for us to indulge in it. A nice way to end the meal.

Bottom: Chocolate Fondant cake with softee

I simply love the service received at Hoshino Coffee - the crews were attentive. Will be back if the queue is short!

Ramen Kagetsu Arashi @ Star Vista

Lunch at Star Vista wasn't a daily affair but I was glad that we had more than an hour of lunch break today. Looking at the vast number of restaurants on the directory board, we decided to go for Ramen Kagetsu Arashi at level 1. It is located near to Gong Cha, not at the main street but at one of the alley. So, do take note of it. 

First impression of the shop, well, there are only 2 service staff and thus, we just went in to grab a table on our own. The female service staff was too busy taking orders while the other male was purely serving the food. Thus, the female service staff was taking up the the responsibilities of a waitress, cleaner and cashier. They really need to improve their service if not, sooner or later, they will lose out on the lunch crowd. 

We went for the Lunch Set ($10.80), comprising of a downsized ramen of your choice, with a side dish, dessert and drink. Quite affordable. 

In the end, we took the Arashi Genkotsu Sio Ramen - the ramen was quite springy and the broth was flavourful. The pork was tender and went well with the broth. The only thing I had comment on was the egg (hard, not soft boiled). Ramen with hard boiled egg wasn't that match. Dislike. Another than that, the portion of the downsize ramen was just nice. 

For the sides, we ordered the fried oyster and fried squid. Both were served with mayonnaise and cabbage. A good way to wash off the oil was with cabbage - I like. The oyster was breaded and crisped and the fried squid, well, like other calamari, would likely be the side of choice for seafood lovers.

Would I be back again? I guess, I might give other ramen store a fight for a place in my stomach!

Marusui Fish Market @ Vivocity

A small shop with limited sitting capacity but mind me, the menu is very extensive. It takes up a big blackboard of items ranging from ramen to rice bowls to fresh sashimi. 

Had the Black pork ramen as recommended by Roomie -  choose the soup base from three flavours - Kimchi, Paitan and Shoyu. I had the Shoyu soup based. 

Before the food arrived, I thought the black pork will be cooked together with the ramen and served with the ramen in a bowl. To my surprise, it was served separately. I have to say, the food is really yummy. The black pork is very tender and well-flavoured. Give me more plates and I have no doubts that I can just finished them in minutes. As for the ramen, it was springy and well-cooked to my liking. They are quite generous in giving the seaweed and mushrooms to go with the ramen. This combination is really fantastic! For SGD15, I confirm this is really worth your money!

I will be back, for more!

Haramiya Central

Finally tried out Haramiya Central after talking about it since last December. Always contemplating to have lunch there but was afraid that we will smell like BBQ for the rest of the day.

I guessed this is a fusion restaurant, Japanese influnced by Korean and vice versa. A Japanese BBQ restaurant with Korean dishes as well. But well, Korean BBQ is famous though. So, I got a little confused. But you will get a feel of both culture in this place. 

Though this is a BBQ place, we did not try the BBQ this time round. I will be back to try that one fine day!. I ordered the Chicken Sundubu Jigae set. This set also includes the banchans which Koreans love but in the Japanese style. There is also kimchi which represents the Koreans and not forgetting the salad with the Japanese sesame sauce. I liked the stew - It was tasty. 

Overall, this is a nice to have dinner and spent the rest of the night chatting. They will roll down the straw blinds between the tables to make it an 'exclusive' space for us. Nice!

Tonkichi Restaurant- Orchard Central

Please please, do make a reservation before you head to this place, if not, well, you got to wait. Else, please go early before 7pm. Luckily we did both. Reached at 7pm to make a reservation for 7.30pm since the rest will be late - did not really want to occupy their tables while waiting for the rest. 

It was a belated Birthday Celebration for Random S. She had cravings for Ramen but she satisfied it the night before. But well, this did not stop us from eating Japanese food tonight! It is forever crowded in Orchard on a Friday Night and I am so glad that Orchard Central remains as a less-crowd and relatively quiet place in the busy town in Singapore. Nonetheless, this place is filled with restaurants which we can happily enjoy our meals. 

Been long since I visited Tonkichi and I ordered the Oroshi Rosu Katsu Set. It is a deep fried pork loin with oroshi pontzu sauce top with grated radish (with refreshing  citrus soy sauce). By looking at the description, it had already captured my saliva - with the many different levels of flavours. This set came with cabbage, miso soup, and a plate of fruits. 

For the cabbage, you can always ask them to top up, it is free-flow. Remember to add the salad dressing to the cabbage - it tasted great. 

For the Katsu, well, it is really a big portion - the pork loin is thick but tender. With the deep fried meat, the radish that came with it gave it a less oily and dry texture. Totally a very filling meal that is worth the money! Had a great night with the girls, chatting till the shop was about to close.

Fantastic service and value for money. Food served fresh with very big portion. Nice ambiance for gathering.

Osaka Ohsho Raffles City, AGAIN!

I can't get sick of visiting Osaka Ohsho. The Gyozas seemed to be calling me at times to revisit the place. Today, I had the Ramen set this time round as well as ordering a soft shell crab to try. The Ramen was well, not up to my expectation. The noodle was not very springy - it was a bit tough. The half boil egg should be the highlight of the ramen but it was way below average. The soup base was alright. Luckily, the gyozas saved the meal. The thin skin filled with juicy ingredients was really great! The soft shell crab was also good though the portion was a little small!
I guessed I will revisit this place but Ramen, no way!

Osaka Ohsho Raffles City, Once again.

Lunch date with the ex-colleagues was really a challenge - working at four different companies now, the most centralised place to meet for lunch was at Raffles City. Lunch crowd is something that I hate most but is something that is unavoidable. Lucky for us, there is this one person with 2 hours lunch break. Thus, she volunteered to order food for us. 

Venue was decided to be at Osaka Ohsho. I have decided what I wanted to eat after my first visit there last December - Fuwatoro Tenshin Han Set. The Gyoza was a must and since it is lunch, rice is very important to me too. I have read some good reviews on the Fuwatoro Tenshin Han and thus, been wanting to try it . 

The first look at it, it looked like omelette soaked in thick gravy - A very normal appearance but well, it was really nice. The fluffy omelette upon slicing into, revealed steaming Japanese rice. The first look was quite alarming as it was really a bowl of rice - but I loved it as it was rich in flavour. The gravy really complemented the egg and rice. And with the pan fried gyoza, this meal really made a wonderful lunch date with the girls. Like what I mentioned before the gyoza was cripsy on the outside and super juicy for the fillings. Yumz. 

A great lunch that cost SGD12.90 before gst!

Hotpot @ Shabu Sai

Lunch for the day was at Shabu Sai - a treat from Sis made the day. She highly recommended to go to Shabu Sai at Orchard Central to have hotpot. The lunch buffet starts at 11.30am and we read that we have 70mins of time limit to complete the meal. However, upon asking the manager, he mentioned that it is only upon there is a crowd and line forming that they will execute this time limit. Well, a reasonable answer to our question. 

At Shabu Sai, you would have to pay before eating. For each pot, we are entitled to 2 soup choices with a total of 7 soup bases to choose from. In the end, we took the Sukiyaki Soup and the Seafood White Broth. The latter is the special soup of the month which changes every period. For weekend lunch, the price is S$19.90 per adult and we add on S$1.99 per adult to enjoy free flow of drinks.

The buffet concept is that the vegetables, ramen, udon, and some seafood are put at the counter for self-service. For the meat (chicken, pork and beef), we would have to order from the service crew who will bring them fresh to us.

For the chicken and pork (we do not eat beef), they are very thiny sliced and thus, it took us just seconds to get them cook in the hotpot. The meat was tender and sweet. As for the self service counter, there were cooked food and sushi and rice for us to eat while waiting for the hotpot to be ready. The variety of vegetables was great - mushrooms, chinese cabbage, lettuce, radish, carrot, bamboo shoots and more but the other variety of hotpot ingredients was lacking - just mussels, clams, crabstick meat, fishballs and vegetable balls. But well, I guess people go for the meat, that's why.

There is a counter where we can mix and make our own sauces according to our preference. I added sesame sauce to peanut sauce and added sesame seeds to it. I quite liked the combination. The soup broths got saltier as we put in more ingredients along the way. The way to tackle this saltiness was the pot of seaweed broth on the table to dilute the soup broth.

To conclude, Shabu Sai is reasonably-priced. Thus, if you are looking for affordable Japanese Buffet in Orchard area over a good supply of meat and vegetables, Shabu Sai is a place you can consider. Moreover, it is located at Orchard Central which is a relatively less crowded place to dine at.

Gyoza at Osaka Ohsho Raffles City

A off day out to Shopping was simply great. Less people on the street, less people in the shops. And what's more, there are less crowd queuing for food as well. 

Went to Osaka Ohsho, Raffles City for a shopping break. Ordering your food is no longer through the service crew - it is a self service ordering using the tablet provided. Browse through the tabs and choose your food. Lastly to submit your order and simply wait for your food to be served. Good way to ordering of food. No longer need to feel the tension of the service crew standing beside you and waiting for your order. 

Order from this tablet

Needless to say, I ordered the handmade gyoza (meat dumplings) which they are famous for. Half a dozen costs S$3.90 and a dozen is just S$7.80. The gyoza was skilfully pan-fried, making it crispy on the oustide. The filling consists of tender pork meat as well as cabbage and garlic made it so juicy. Served piping hot, you could simply pop into your month one after another. Not oily but tasty. 


Gyoza (6 pieces)

Really love it and I guess I will be back to try their gyoza set soon!

Curry Udon at Tamoya (Chinatown)


Not my first time to Tamoya. I had been to the first outlet at Liang Court earlier this year. After looking at the menu, I decided to try the Curry Chicken Udon. As what the sign says "please wait to be seated', I stood outside for like mintues before realising that no service crew attempted to serve me. Not wanting to look like an idiot, I walked straight to the cashier and asked if I should order from her. She pointed to the front counter when there is a chef cooking the udon. 'Order from there' was what she told me. Feeling puzzled, I walked to where the chef was and asked if I should order from him. "Yes" was his answer. So here's the ordering system at Tamoya:

They have this self-service system: 
1. Order (tell the chefs at the counter what you want) 
2. Collect your noodle and select the fried items ( if you want any)
3. Proceed to cashie
4. Add your own toppings or sauces at the nearby counter

My suggestion to Tamoya could be just state these instructions and placed it at the entrance. It does help to orientate the customers. 

Enough said of the situation, I ordered the Curry Udon with chicken as well as a croquette. Okay, I had to say, I would prefer the udon in soup based rather than the curry. But trust me, the udon is quite nice and you can easily slurp into your mouth. The croquette was normal and I wished I had ordered the pumpkin tempura instead. Well, Tamoya is definitely on my list to return for more Authentic Japanese food.

Homecook Japanese Chicken Curry Rice

Cooking day when I decided to take a break from work. As sis has some leftover japanese curry cubes, I decided to cook Japanese Curry Rice. Simple recipe to follow:

Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon  olive oil
1/2 onions, diced - you can add more if you like onions, original recipe recommends 2 medium onions
2 medium potatoes, cubed
1 carrots, cubed - original recipe mentioned 2
Some Rice cakes (optional)
Chicken, pork or beef, cubed - I just prepared the quantity that I think we will finish - original recipe says 250g
700ml water
60g curry roux brick, mild
60g curry roux brick, hot

Ingredients - Carrot, Potato, Rice Cakes

Chicken 

Directions:
1. Heat the pot for a while and add olive oil and fry the onions until they are fragrant (2 minutes or so)
2. Add the potatoes, carrots, rice cakes and meat and continue to stir fry until the meat is cooked (about 5 minutes)
3. Add water and bring the mixture to a boil before cooking it on medium heat for about 20 minutes or when the meat is tender.
4. Remove the pot from the flame and add the curry roux bricks and stir until the curry is well mixed.
5. Stew the curry over low heat until it thickens (about 15-20 minutes)

And after an hour or so, here's our very own Japanese Chicken Curry Rice. Yummy!

Our very own Japanese Chicken Curry Rice

Basically, you can add in other ingredients that you like and create your own version of curry rice. For example, eggplants, broccoli, or even seafood. But do take note about the cooking time just in case some ingredients get cooked faster than the others. Manage your timing well and you can really enjoy cooking and of course, the end product - your yummy food!

Beauty Pot [美人锅, Bijin Nabe] @ Tsukada Nojo

Another gathering with a friend whom me and BFF M will always meet up with once a year to celebrate our birthdays. Yes, an annual event. I am not sure why this is so, but I'm still glad to keep in touch with A in such a manner. 

We decided to meet at Chinatown Point where it is sort of a midpoint from where we live. Not knowing what to eat, we then decided to settle it on the meeting day itself. M reached first and she decided on Tsukada Nojo as it was a rainy day and she wanted soup. How glad I was for her decision. I have always wanted to try the Bijin Nabe at Tuskada Nojo when it first opens at Plaza Singapura. However, it does not take reservation and the queue is forever long. Thus, I never have the chance to step into the shop for 'BEAUTY'.

Tsukada Nojo

We were all late though and thus, they decided fast after seeing the menu. We order 3 sets of Bijin Nabe ($25 for 1 pax) – a “Beauty Pot” of collagen-rich organic chicken broth with prawns, minced chicken, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, mushrooms, black and white fungus, winter melon, yellow zucchini, yuzu, tofu and noodles.

First came the Chicken broth. It looked totally like pudding. I was a bit stunned but slowly, as the 'pudding' melted, it became a pot of delicious soup. 

Looks like pudding

The waitress served the raw ingredients and went off.  Not knowing what to do, we decided to put everything into the pot. 

3 person share of ingredients

And our final product was this:

Bijin Nabe ready for consumption


As the noodle was not served, I signaled the waitress. To my 'horror', she mentioned that when the ingredients was served, the person should have asked when we want the noodle to be served and that someone should be helping us to put in the ingredients. Oh man, I wondered what we had missed out on by doing it all by ourselves. So People, please note that they will SERVE you and you do not have to be too anxious, trying to put everything into the boiling soup! Nonetheless, we asked her to serve the noodle. 

We also ordered the Nikumaki Onigiri each. It is actually rice ball wrapped in pork and baked with a special sauce. There are four flavours to choose from and we ordered three. Each costs around $3.50-$3.80. I think I had the spicy with yuzu sauce. It is like sushi but wrapped with bacon instead of seaweed. 


Nikumaki Onigiri

Finally, at the end of the dinner, we were served complimentary desserts. It tasted like chocolate caramel pudding. Just a bite size and my friends love it. We asked and they gave us a second helping. They are not selling this as part of their menu but just a gesture to thank the diners. Oh, this complimentary desserts change daily. So I guess it will be a surprise the next time I visit. 

Complimentary dessert

Oh by the way, they have this reward card system that is designed like a business card. The more you eat, the faster you will be 'promoted' by the shop and if I never heard wrongly, you will be given complimentary food items. 

Quite a nice place to dine in but I think the service crew are not very attentive. Or rather, they should have informed us that they will be helping us to cook. Overall, not a bad experience and I had a great time there!

Shokudo Japanese Coffee House

Sister's treat to Shokudo Japanese Coffee House last week. A fusion concept cafe and I like their motto on the menu "For Foodies and Fun Times". Situated at the ground floor at Bugis Parco, it is quite a convenient place for meetups. Their menu is quite extensive ranging from starters to main course, pasta to desserts. The drinks selection is not bad too. Since there were only the two of us, we each ordered a main dish. Did not try any of the starters which I guess I will be back soon to try it out with my friends. 

Singapore, Japanese food, fusion
Shokudo Japanese Coffee House 

Sis ordered the Hotate Mentaiko Wafu Aglio Olio Pasta. According to the menu, it is tossed in wafu sauce. Shokudo is very generous in their ingredients and there are really quite a handful of scallops. Unlike some other cafes/restaurants, they are really not stingy in giving their best to the customers. The spicy cod roe gave the pasta a crunchy feeling. Nice dish but I found it a bit salty. Sis loves it though.

Japanese, Central, yummy
Hotate Mentaiko Wafu Aglio Olio Pasta

I ordered the Shiromi Fish Steak and I chose it because of the yuzu butter sauce. Yuzu butter sauce sounds interesting to me and I have not tried any food cooked with yuzu before. The fish fillet is tender but I am quite puzzled that since it was served on a hot plate, the fish fillet was not hot at all. Not that it was served cold but it was slightly lukewarm. The yuzu sauce was special but I wished they could have given more of the sauce. The butter rice was just a small scoop. So for people who want to eat rice, you will be disappointed. This set came with the Japanese seafood soup and a bowl of french fries. The soup is simply seafood miso soup. The big chunky fries was served hot and ok, for the matter of fact, I love potato. And I am glad that they served the side salad too. Simply cannot go without vegetables for western food!

Japanese, Love, French Fries

Not a bad eating experience and I think I will be back for more!

Fukuichi Japanese Dining

Fukuichi is tucked in a quiet corner of Orchard - Triple One Somerset is often a neglected place for me. Never knew that there are some great restaurants hidden there. Visited Fukuichi Japanese Restaurant yesterday to have a birthday dinner for Random W. I never knew there are some restaurants on the second level. Probably heading back there for dinner for a less-crowded but centralised gathering.

Here's some of the food we had:

Singapore, Orchard, Japanese, Triple One Somerset
Kani Tofu

The cold appetiser - Kani Tofu – is actually tofu with crab meat in century egg sauce. I’ve never seen or tried this dish before in a Japanese restaurant. I am not a century egg lover but the sauce was done to perfection. It was not overpowering and went well with the fresh tofu and crab meat. The tofu simply melted in the mouth. This dish was a pleasant surprise and was very refreshing.


Sushi Rolls

Seared Salmon Roll 
This was great and we ordered 2 plates of it. Mainly was due to the fact that the birthday girl was late and she ordered another plate to satisfy her cravings. This sushi roll was executed perfectly. The salmon was seared perfectly, bringing out a smoky smell and yet not overcooked. Perfect match with the other ingredients that was added to make the roll. Yummy! 

Avocado Roll
We had high expectations to the presentation of this roll. We thought we would see a ‘caterpillar’ but we were disappointed. The avocado was fresh and sweet. For the vegetarian, please do not order as there is crab meat in this roll. 

Seared White Tuna roll 
Fukuichi really makes effort to display their dish. From the sushi roll, they put the sushi into small holder to bring out visual effect to the food. Like the Salmon roll, the tuna was not overcooked. However, we preferred the Salmon roll more.

Cold Soba

Wanted to order the Cold Fish Soba but in the end, we ordered the normal cold soba due to some error. The soba was chewy and nice. 

Singapore, Orchard, Japanese, Triple One Somerset
Hotate Yaki 

Wanted to order the bamboo clams but it was not available. Thus, we opted for the Hotate Yaki (Scallops in Garlic Sauce). Not a bad choice after all. The scallop was grilled to perfection. Fresh is the word to describe the seafood at Fukuichi. Easy to chew and it really went well with the cheese. The Garlic and Butter made it more tasty and flavourful.

Chawanmushi

There are many types of Chawanmushi and we went for the normal one. It was not bad and there were crab meat, prawn and meat in it.

Forget to take the photo for the Ebi Almond Tempura. This dish was a pleasant surprise. The almond flakes were crispy and they did not fall off the Ebi when I dipped it in the sauce. The prawn was fresh, sweet and tender. For those who like almond, you could try this dish as this is quite special. 

We also have the Yuzu Sparkling Sake. Sweet and nice and when you drink it, it does not taste like Sake. I guess that’s the dangerous part as you will unknowingly drank a lot! Overall, Fukuichi is a nice place to eat and chill for a gathering. Will come back to this area soon!
