After our language lesson at somerset, my friend and I went to cineleisure for lunch and movie. Looking for cheaper alternatives for lunch and we thought up Eighteen Chefs that's just opened recently. There’s the student meal for $6.40 where you get to choose from 4 mains , 1 ice lemon tea and ice cream! ALL FOR $6.40! No additional charges. For the mains, choose between pasta/baked rice (for the student meal only, there’s actually a lot more choices), then choose the sauce (wide variety), then choose from the 4 ingredients (there’s chicken sausage, scrambled eggs etc). I got chicken sausage pasta with tangy tomato as my base.Having tried both the baked rice and pasta before, I would say, go for the pasta if you like your food to be wetter, baked rice if you like your food to be drier. Tangy tomato is not bad! But abit sour-ish to my taste, but still good when taken in small amounts. There’s only 4 chicken sausage but the sauce was enough to make me eat the spaghetti on its own (with the sauce)! Complimentary water at the side, but the ice tea is really enough, it’s a huge cup! Ice cream was just the normal one scoop of chocolate ice cream. Don’t expect yourself to be extremely full from the meal if you’ve a larger appetite, it’s only $6.40! Our food came pretty fast after ordering, in fact less than 5 mins from ordering. Ice cream was served after our meal.

Dinner with my friends at Jcube and thai express had almost no queue at all so we went there for dinner!

I ordered a fried shrimp paste rice with seafood (Khao Kluk Kapi Talay) and a bowl of white tom yum to share with my friends. Note that plain water is not complimentary. My food took 15mins to come and the tom yum took 30mins to come (after repeatedly asking for it). We saw other people who ordered after us have already gotten their food! Anyway, the friend shrimp paste rice was nice! It did not disappoint me at all. It has a really nice shrimp taste to the rice as the name suggests. Add some of the given sauce and sprinkle some lime juice over it! The prawns and squids were pretty normal, thank goodness the squids didn't taste rubbery. The white tom yum was really spicy, I would suggest that the red one would be better if your tolerance for spicy food is lower. I prefer the red one as well because it has a richer tom yum flavour than the white one. The soup contains of mushrooms, sliced fish etc.

Decided to have dinner at Pastamania because I was craving for pasta! And everytime I think of pasta, I will think of Pastamania, it is no doubt my number one choice for affordable and quality pasta!

I will usually order spaghetti Bolognese but I decided to go for a change by ordering seafood marinara (tomato based) which seems to be one of the recommended ones. You've to head over to the counter to order and the order will be sent to you shortly. It took 10mins from ordering to serving so it's quite fast, considering that the place was packed during dinner time.

The seafood marinara is quite good! It's even better if you like eating squids on a daily basis. There's clams, prawns and squid! However the squid was not very chewy, tasted abit like rubber though. But otherwise, the rest of the food was great!

Met up with my friends at Jcube and decided to have nandos for very early dinner at around 4pm! I ordered the 1/4 chicken ($10.90) without any add-ons. You can choose to add on 2 regular sides for another $3 as well but I didn't as I had a late lunch and was still feeling full. We also get to choose what level of spiciness we want for our chicken, I got the lowest, lemon and herb! My friends got the Mild Peri Peri one. Of course there's hardly anyone in the restaurant at that timing so we got a table facing the ice skating rink!

Food took quite awhile to come despite being one of the few people in the restaurant. There's a sauce station where they place different sauces with different level of spiciness. I couldn't take much spicy food so I took tomato sauce but I think there's something wrong with the stopper, the sauce couldn't come out so I took the least spicy one. I quite like the meat though! But it's a bit dry too. Service wasn't very fantastic as they did not refill our water despite walking past a lot of times.

Have been hearing a lot of raved reviews by my friends so one day I suggested having dinner at Ippudo! It was a Saturday when we went, at around 5plus in the evening, but it was still full house. We waited for a table of 4 for 15mins but they gave us a table for 3 because my friend wasn't here yet. They did not allow us to have a table for 4 until we were sure that our friend is arriving very soon.

We placed our orders while waiting for my friend. I decided to try the original tonkotsu, shiromaru motoaji ($15), which is just the normal one with cha-shu, cabbage and spring onions. You can choose to have the one with egg but it costs $3 more. We also get to choose how hard we want our noodles to be, hard or medium. The waiter recommended us the hard one but I prefer mine to be soft so I don't have to chew so hard! Anyway we managed to get a table of 4 as we saw the people leaving. At around 6pm, the queue outside was crazy. We were so lucky to be able to get a table! Personally I feel that the ramen is quite ordinary and not as good as what my friends said. But I have to admit that the broth is good, although abit salty, and I had to keep drinking water. Since my friend ordered the hard noodles, I tried it as well. I didn't think that there's much difference between the medium and hard one though. The ingredients in the ramen was just normal and for $15 I think it's abit steep. And it doesn't seems very worth it for me to queue again next time.
