Was here with a big group of friends to try out this Japanese restaurant recommended by one of them. As we were having a rather big group, so we actually made reservation in advance (in case not enough seatings for us, heard that the restaurant is not very big) and we were happy that we were given a private VIP room!

I have ordered a Tempura Sashimi set which i liked. The sashimi were very fresh and delicious. and the portion was rather big! Was really happy for a big eater like me. The tempura and chawamushi were both nice but it was rather average lah..

One thing to mention about their miso soup. Hmm.. It tasted quite nice, just a liittle saltish. The tofu that they used was rather different and special. The tofu's texture wasnt like those smooth and soft tofu that we normally had. Their tofu's texture was more firm, it tasted something in between a tofu and a tau kwa. So it was rather special in a way. We were told by the staff, the tofu was specially made by their restaurant so it tasted different.

Overall, It was a nice dining experience as the food is nice and fresh, portion is big and the staffs are all rather nice and friendly. And most importantly, their pricing is reasonable. Would see myself coming back for more in the future.

I was here with a friend after some work to have some dessert on a Saturday afternoon. This was my first time here and it was highly recommended by my friend. She told me this is her favorite place because of the very nice ambience.

Yes, when i was there, i was capitvated by the beautiful enviroment. I like the place too. It was set amidst restful water lily ponds, which was really beautiful, peaceful and relaxing.

It was really a perfect place to enjoy my weekend afternoon with my favorite drink - a freshly and fragrantly brewed coffee and my favorite dessert - Tiramisu. Both the coffee and tiramisu tasted fresh and delicious. Its yummy. I really enjoy spending my day there.

I had an enjoyable dinner with my friend and fellow Openricers at a newly opened Italian restaurant - Trattoria Gallo D’Oro last night.

I seldom visit Italian restaurant, so im not too sure how does authetic italian food taste like. What i know is, i certainly like their food at Trattoria Gallo D’Oro! The pictures attached are the dishes i liked most.

I really like the authentic Emilia Romagna cold cuts. It was very thinly sliced and tasted simply yummy. I ate it together with their freshly made bread (the bread tasted really fresh, good and 'Q'). I spread a little cheese on the bread, with a slice of tomatoes, and a slice of cold cuts. Wow its tasted yummy, its absolutely my own 'subway', i think much better than that actually. haha.

Another favorite dishes that i really liked is the Sardine fritte - Deep fried sardines with onions and lemon. It is very crispy and freshly fried with a little saltish taste. And the sardines tasted rather fresh and soft on the inside. I wish to have more! Kind of addicted. Just cant stop eating. hehe.

As for the pastas, I love them both - Casonsei alla Bergamasca - Stuffed veal ravioli served with golden butter, crispy bacon and sage and Foiade del Gallo D’Oro - Homemade pappardelle pasta, with sausage and spinach. But i prefer the Homemade pappardelle pasta, with sausage and spinach a little more, cos its tasted so yummy and creamy but not that overwhelmming. And the sausage tasted so good and springy! I kept 'targeting' that. haha.

I quite like the dessert Torta della Nonna con gelato - Grandmother custard cake with vanilla gelato also. It has a lemony taste which i really like, but it might a little too sweet for me. I suppose Italian dessert taste sweeter? Anyway, it tasted very flavourful, a very good way to end our dinner.

My dad bought my mom's favorite food today - Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker as mother's day celebration.

Have tried their Ngoh Hiong Prawn Cracker at their Vivo City's stall. It was nice and fresh which i really liked.

My dad has choosen quite a variety ngoh hiang prawn crackers. There were century eggs, fishcakes, prawn crackers, ngoh hiangs, bean curds, you tiao and the 'red sausage' - dont know what is the actual name for it.

It was still piping hot when my dad bought it back. It was really nice as it was freshly fried and hot. It was crispy and yet not oily at all. I love all the ngoh hiang prawn crackers! Its yummy.

Meeting some friends at Ion Orchard for dinner tonight. As one of my friend actually suggested this Japanese restaurant and was highly recommended by him even though i am quite skeptical about it. He said they served very nice yakitori.

We were here around 8pm queueing and waiting for our seats for about 20 mins. Anyway, we were happy when we got our seats, even happier when we got our seats in a private room. There were 2 tables in this private room which can cater 2 groups of people in 4 or slighly more.

Its time to order our food. As I am not really a yakitori person, as usually i like food in big portion, not in small pieces. haha. So i have ordered a chicken ramen which was really nice, the ramen texture was so springy and 'Q' which i really liked. Ya of cos, the chicken soup was really flavourful too. Slurps. The sushi - california roll was very nice too.

Well as for their signature food - yakitori. Hmm.. I think it doesnt taste as what i imagined and expected. It wasnt that great. Maybe they have too many 'sticks' to grill. Some wasnt grilled properly. It wasnt marinate that well too.

Oh they served compliment Otoushi before our meal - Its raw cabbage pieces with miso paste which tasted quite refreshing and fresh. I wonder if it can be refilled. Forget to ask the waitress anyway. haha.
