It's located near the Bukit Merah Public Library. From the interchange, just cross the bridge, walk straight, cross the road to block 161 and walk under it. It's just a short walk.



Pan Delights is a very small café/restaurant. The atmosphere inside and outside is a big contrast. One would feel that it shouldn't be in the heartlands and should be in town.

Furniture is simple with wood and metal as the main theme so it's rather dark.



The board at the counter could do with a better decoration though. The walls are too bare so I think a few photographs of their food would help a lot.



The menu is quite cute and unique. A few thin papers of different lengths are fastened to a wooden board with a metal fastener. Fits with the theme of the restaurant!

Plus, there's neither GST nor service charge! Yay!

The mains were not available when we were there at 1:30pm.

The food we ordered arrived at about 2:15pm. So they have to do something about the long waiting time.



Truffle Fries — $7.90

Well, "truffle" is quite in trend nowadays. It's strong in smell but quite okay in taste. The amount of cheese powder is not enough. The white sauce should be tartar sauce? Nice combination.



Pan's Toast — $7.90

Honestly, when it arrived, I was a bit shocked to see it. But maybe it's because I didn't read the description properly. Anyway, it's a thick piece of palm-sized toast. The egg taste isn't really there and the edges are quite hard. They served butter which is good because margarine is not food so I'm glad. The mixed berry sauce is sweet and sour, very nice but barely enough for me to eat with the toast.



Pan's Breakfast — $14.90

It looks like quite a spread! The sausage is quite big and juicy. The toast looks quite sad and soggy though. The scrambled egg is fluffy. The salad is crunchy. The bacon is oily but yummy as it's not overwhelmed with salt!



Spinach Pan-edict — $10.90

A "healthy" dish of veggies, two eggs, two bun halves and dressing!



Salmon Pan-edict — $13.90

Same as above but with the addition of thin slices of super salty salmon.



Pan-Cakes — $7.90

Small and cute, the pancakes remind me of the ones in Little Pancakes, but they're not as pretty around the edges. The honey they used is not very sweet and sick and the pancake also gets the bacon taste, very interesting mix and it's rather delicious! The pancake itself tastes quite nice and fluffy too!



Hot Cappuccino — $4.50

It's pretty and looks thick. My friend said it's quite nice even with only one sachet of sugar.



Overall, it's a nice place without crowds of people walking outside. However, there were quite a few people who looked inside through the full glass panel due to curiosity! Quite funny. We left the place at 3:05pm as the last customer. They close at 3:30pm before opening again at 5:30pm during which they will serve the "mains" in the menu.

I recommend relaxing here for breakfast or brunch before you head to the crowded town area! 

Fukuya, a new Japanese restaurant in the JCC! It is located behind Science Centre. Once you enter JCC, you need to walk towards the Recreation Complex deep inside. Fukuya is right next to the swimming pool!

The restaurant interior is quite big and doesn't feel cramped even though there are lotsa tables and chairs.

We were seated in the VIP room! 11 seats for us and our guests for this food tasting session! Tasteful black and gold pictures adorn the room and the restaurant with traditional Japanese sake on the floor!

Each and every one of us were served a 7-course meal!! OMG!! Let's walk you through!!



Zensai, means Appetiser. $10.80.

It's got green and brown seaweed and a piece of lettuce at the bottom. The top is the star of this dish. It's seafood mayo! The crunchy fish roe adds dimension to this dish! The trick to eat this is to eat it whole (because the green seaweed is extremely salty when eaten alone) if the size of your mouth allows. All the tastes — salty, sweetness and sourness — dance harmoniously on your tongue at the same time! It's truly flavourful — I now finally fully understand the meaning of this word!!



Sashimi! Fukuya Tokusen (specially selected) Platter. $68.80.

I don't eat raw fish but I decided to just try them all since it's a food tasting session! So it's my first time eating so many raw fish in a sitting!  

Halibut fin muscle (best!), salmon, toro, giant prawn, tai, Shima Aji, and others that I dunno!

Very fresh!! Real taste of sea..food! It's because the chef flew them in from Japan! He told us that quality is of his utmost concern!



Dobin Mushi! Soup in a teapot! $10.80.

The ingredients are not fancy but you get one big fat oyster! Two pieces of different mushrooms, bamboo shoots, big spring onions, etc~

Really super nice!! Drink it without lime first~ Savour the original sweetness the juicy oyster and mushroom brings out in the soup! Then maybe add lime to one spoonful of soup for your next mouthful! Try the difference! Don't put the lime into the teapot though, I've heard the other food tasters regretting about that, lol~ Luckily I didn't XD



Gintara Mentaiyaki — cod fish with fish roe mayo lightly grilled with naked fire on the surface!! $20.80.

All sorts of yum!!!!!!!! I love this!! I love to eat whole/part of a whole fish slices like this!! Nyan~! 

No burnt smell nor taste despite how the Mentaiyaki looks!!



Modern Fukuya Aburi Sushi Mori — where each sushi has their own sauce/taste, so no soya sauce is required. $28.80.

Yummy yummy off-the-menu nigiri sushi!! XD

Though I was afraid, I've always wanted to try Uni!! It's SUPER CREAMY!! Thick texture but the taste is just the very fresh taste! Wow~!! Plus the crunch of the big fish roes on top! Yummy!

All of the nigiri except for the Uni has wasabi and I don't like wasabi but the wasabi here is mild! Your eyes will be safe from tears, don't worry!

Some of them are lightly cooked on the surface, very nice!!



Seafood Ramen. $26.80.

Now...... The ramen with the underrated name! The chef didn't reveal how he made the soup until we've tasted it!! It's actually really sweet despite its spicy-looking colour! Vegetables and tonnes of other stuff blended together and boiled into soup! OMG!! Heavenly sweetness! Super nice and healthy! So nutritious!!

The noodles are cooked just nice and do not stick to your teeth nor each other! The ingredients are aplenty! Prawns, clam, hotate, cabbage, squid, crabmeat, Japanese fish cake (lightly charred on the pink surface!), and many more! Generous servings for each of us really shows a lot of the chef's sincerity in giving customers his best!!



Kyoho (slip-skin grapes first produced in Shizuoka, Japan in 1937) Ice Cream with Kuri Kanroni (boiled chestnut). $8.80.

Last but not least, DESSERT!!

OMG~~ It's so sweet and smooth and creamy and delicious!! Mix your mouthful with the boiled chestnut and cream at the bottom and savour this new sensation! Really great match!! The kuri has its own kind of sweetness and it does not clash with the kyoho grapes taste, they embrace each other~!

I looove this dessert!!

Favourites: Starter, Gintara Mentaiyaki, Ramen and Kyoho Ice-cream. I can't just pick one! XD

So if you are visiting the nearby JEM or J-Cube or Science Centre, come here to chat with Chef Ah Beng!! He will make good food for you!!

Saizeriya is a family restaurant in Japan with many branches and it has lots of branches in Singapore too.

It serves Japanese-Western fusion food with no GST and Service Charge!Mushroom Soup had a "Special" attached to its name, but it's normal. Except for the extraordinary amount of garlic. But, it's nice.The Curry Baked Rice is not anything special and took quite a while to be served.

Overall, it's a fuss-free restaurant and I like it.

Nana's Green Tea finally comes to Singapore! Open concept and interesting seating! Service is good too with their manager being a Japanese.Beef Curry Udon is super nice! The meat is very tender and sliced thinly! The curry is really not the average Japanese curry found in supermarkets or other low-level fake-Japanese restaurants!Berry Parfait is really very smooth! Not too sweet and full of ingredients!! The corn flakes add crunch! Interesting!Wakatama Udon is really fragrant and the egg is PERFECT!!

After making waves in Japan and other countries for 3 decades, it's finally here in Singapore! Indeed, I saw it everywhere I went in Japan!

Anyway, the first CoCoICHIBANYA Curry House in Singapore is conveniently located on B3 of 313@Somerset. If you're going down from the Forever 21 escalators, turn left, it's at the corner. It is open-concept and has comfortable seating. When my friend and I were there, there weren't lotsa people around. But our orders did not come super fast either.Hot Lemon Tea - $3.50

My friend ordered the Hot Lemon Tea and it was served in a teapot, very cute!Clam and Tomato Curry Omelette Rice - $14

It's very nice! The clams are big, juicy and fresh! The omelette is fluffy "fuwa-fuwa"! The curry spiciness level can be customised and I chose the middle level. Great!!Kinoko (Mushroom) Omelette Rice - $13

It's creamy and fluffy! The mushrooms are soft and everything goes very well together!

Great to have CoCoICHIBANYA in Singapore!! ♥
