Went to AKB48 cafe for lunch. Ordered for the carbonara pasta since the picture on the menu looked really appetising. The actual thing is just like the picture, with a half cooked egg on top of the pasta. However, the pasta was disappointing. There was no egg taste at all when mixed with the pasta. It was like a typical carbonara pasta, slightly creamy. It does come with a generous serving of meat. Overall its relatively average and the only selling point is probably the half cooked egg. Considering that is costed me around $13+, it was definitely not worth it. Diners are probably going to pay more for the experience of dining in the idol cafe rather than the food.

I personally love Men-ichi's ramen but never tried the Shoyu Tonkotsu, or their char siew. The soup is similar to the tonkotsu soup, thick and sweet, and seriously I don't notice the shoyu (soy sauce) taste. The char siew definitely isn't the best ramen char siew I've had. Its the typical fatty char siew served in most Japanese restaurants which I absolutely dislike.

However, as usual, the ramen is springy and goes well with the soup. Overall, as a frequent customer, I was disappointed by the ramen. The soup was not too different and I threw away all the char siew after the first bite. Men-ichi has a wide selection of tasty ramen, so I'd recommend something else like Curry Cheese Ramen or Teriyaki Salmon (tonkotsu) ramen.

Decided to try the rice set from Ajisen. I ordered for the mabo toufu set which consists of pork and miso soup. The mabo toufu wasn't very spicy so it was alright for me. The sauce was thick and sweet, perfect for the toufu. The pork wasn't too dry and was relatively soft. The sauce is sweet and the dish was fried together with onion and chilli. It was delicious but not much different from a home cooked meal. The miso soup from Ajisen was relatively bland..with only a slight miso taste.

Overall, it was tasty but definitely doesn't taste like restaurant-quality food. Costs $13.80 which I think was not worth it. Although it was good and filling, its standard is very average. Something a mother could cook easily. Therefore, despite being good, I probably won't recommend it b/c its not worth the money and Ajisen has other alternatives that would be more worth the money.

Decided to try the chicken chop from this stall. Unfortunately, the chicken chop was fried and displayed on the counter for a pretty long time. The nice lady was kind enough to reheat it using the microwave for me though.

The chicken wasn't as oily as I expected it to be. There wasn't much excess oil. In fact, the chicken chop for some reason was relatively watery. The chicken is actually rather tasteless. The skin has no taste and all it taste like is chicken. The chicken was moist but it wasn't moist because it had juice. All the moisture were like plain water.

Overall, it was very bland. It tasted like its chicken that's fried with nothing but oil and some tasteless flour. In the stall's defence, the lady did ask me if I wanted mayonnaise to go with the chicken chop. I certainly don't like the bland taste but I wouldn't mind having it with rice if I'm looking for a meal that's light on taste.

Costed $2.80.

Decided to buy the baked rice from Bang Deli for lunch. The baked rice is filled with cheese, chicken and mushrooms. The baked rice was surprising soft when I scooped up the first bite. It was over-baked in my opinion. I could easily swallow it without biting as though I'm eating porridge. Even the chicken could be cut up easily using a spoon. I'm not a big fan of porridge and naturally didn't like how soft the baked rice was either.

However, the cheese did taste good. The top layer of baked cheese is very thin and and lower layer of cheese is relatively diluted and soft. It did taste like cheese but not too strong on the cheese flavour that it makes it easy to get sick of. The chicken is a little too salty for my liking and the mushrooms did not have any taste at all.

Overall, it was very average and bland. Considering that it costed $3.80, its definitely not value for money. I'd rather buy the other food items Bang Deli has to offer that's cheaper and tastier.
