Singapore Sling Pizza~

Prawns, baby clams meat, crabmeat (not just the crab stick, but real crab meat) and pineapple to throw in the *sling feel.

Kind of like a normal Seafood pizza, ‘cept the diff is in the thin crust and the real crab meat. You are looking at 3 layers in the photo. not bad..

Nice!
Absolutely!

Pancakes all day, anytime of the day.

Went by to Tonkichi during the Christmas season with friends for a catching up session.

Saw a review here saying that the Chicken Katsu Curry was alright, so ordered their Ramen instead.
Well, as the title says, Skip the Ramen.

But their Karage was good.
Nice and crispy, well marinated and no oily aftertaste.

Their Katsu is good too. Thick and succulent.
Save the best for the last? I say cut the carbs(Ramen) and go straight in for that piece of protein(Katsu)

Sapporo draft is 1 for 1 too. (do call to check if it is still valid~)

Went by to Roast @ One Rochester for some great food and great company.

Our table of 9 was served with an expense of Communal Menu, great desserts and dazzling drinks. *So dazzling that I see stars

To me, its always about getting the basics right before going on to conquer greater grounds.

I love their Grilled cod fillet with fennel and blood orange salad which is on the top right hand corner next to the Roast Logo. The chewy affair of the fish together with the caramelized layer on the top gives the cod fillet a must-go.

Their Tiger prawn salad with cous cous, pomegranate, mint and persian feta is fascinating as well (see top left hand corner next to the Roast Logo). This is the first time I encounter pomegranate with prawns. Not just that the prawn is fresh, but put together with the pomegranate, their crunchy-ness is a whole new chapter to the dish.

Their starter, The "Nibble" Platter which includes foie gras parfait, game terrine, is a very non-routine dish. In simple terms, they are goose liver moose and rabbit meat (see photo right below Roast Logo). What a new experience it was. That simple softness of the moose with the exotic taste of the goose liver. That game meat texture on a pastry... its like walking on unchartered grounds in the woods of the Twilight movie.

Their dessert of Grande Assiette , I especially love their coffee creme brulee. Its quality. Period. The coffee bean scent, that tinge of sweetness... Its Perfect~ *MuAcKz!

The drinks... How can the night be complete without them right?
Sequencing from left to right, *Lychee Martini, BMW (Baileys, Martini and Whisky) and Cosmopolitan.

Need I say more?
Go figure ;)

Went by to Waraku the other day for dinner. I had their Katsu Don as I was really lazy to sample other dishes.

All I wanted was a decent, fill-the-tummy dish.

I like how the meat is really thick yet tender, the sauce goes down all the way to the rice, and the onion slices were just nice…
Stir the whole egg, onion and rice together… bite the meat…
Oh *Xing Fu *Xing Fu *Xing Fu!

So what if the restaurant has all sorts of beautiful dishes and cuisine?
I think just by mastering the basics, it would say alot about a restaurant.
And in this case of the Waraku restaurant, they certainly have their basics right.
