You can select between seafood or meat, where meat consists of chicken, pork, and beef. Dessert wise, additional $1.90 is for ala-carte desserts out of this page.

We had the Roasted Barley Tea, and upgraded the other to Ice Lemon Tea with aiyu jelly. Both drinks are nice, but only the barley tea is re-fillable tongue

Six side dishes, and a healthier choice of multi-grain rice, inclusive. You can also opt for white rice too!

We had the Fried Kimchi Dumplings for appetiser. Crispiness is just right, and fillings are super tasty.

Here's the highlight! Army Stew with meat, where we requested for only chicken and pork, excluding beef. Soup base is re-fillable as well, and from what I can identify, they have maggie mee, kimchi, golden mushroom, carrot, luncheon meat, and hotdog. Of course, the chicken and pork meat too!

We went for the Korean Bingsoo series, and chosen Special Trio Bingsoo ($6.90) out of the other two, Mango Bingsoo and Strawberry Bingsoo.

Special Trio Bingsoo consists of mango, strawberry, and kiwi. There are also jellies and aloe vera. This whole dessert is so satisfying *\o/*

What I like about them is that they will try to maximize their diner's chance of getting seats by making adjustments to their occupied tables.

Iced Lemon Tea ($3.50), and Ribena Lemon Twist ($4.50) which seems like soda and ribena? Quite a refreshing drink for me!

Cold Cuts ($15.00) consisting of Baguette, German Salami, Chorizo, and Parma Ham. Not a really a fan of this dish, as it tasted a little weird to me.

Crispy Chicken Winglets with Chilli Dip ($8.50). We had this cleaned up because their winglets are quite tasty.
Baked Portobello Mushroom, Balsamic Reduction ($10.00). I find it quite tasteless though...

Confit of Duck Leg, Mash, Aragula Salad ($19.50). I like their duck leg, as it is cooked till soft and flavorful.

Baked Lamb Ribs, Cucumber Yoghurt Salad, Fries ($24.00). Yummy lamb ribs, but there's a lot of fats underneath the skin, and thus quite oily.

For the desserts, they are not listed in the menu, but browse-able from the counter display! Red Velvet Cake ($4.80) which is usually $6.80, and Triple Chocolate Cake ($6.80).

 

 
Crew are friendly and brought along their smiles whenever diners asked for assistance. Food is generally normal, where it can be delicious, but not health-conscious type. Otherwise, it is quite yummy! In case you are wondering what's nice, you might want to try their Sake Mussels, which is a dish that appears in most tables!

For details, please visit http://foodesteem.blogspot.com/2013/07/nasi-lemak-kukus.html

Was glad to be able to attend OpenRice's Food Tasting session. Located along the old street of Upper Thomson Road, where some great food stalls awaits you, such as Nasi Lemak Kukus! Simple place, friendly and smiley crew smile

Going straight to their drinks, I had the popular iced Drip Coffee. Using the Vietnamese style, coffee is dripping from the top through a simple filtering tool, and into the cup filled with milk. Stirred and goes down my throat!

For ala-carte, its self-service, and possibly, a little more time to consider which to take. I bet most of us had enough of stall-owners waiting for you to decide, making you feel so pressurized??

Their rice is one of the signature! Their coconut rice are steamed rather than the usual boiled method. Longer time needed to cook the rice, but end-result emits a strong fragrance of coconut and pandan smile

Craving for more? You can go for their free-flow rice with sambal if you do not wish to spend more, or try their burgers! Ramly-style!

Definitely a place I would visit again, and especially when my hunger starts drumming in the late night!

Hidden among shophouses is a place that serves authentic thai food! Nice attitude from the staffs, and food are being served timely too...

Mixed Platters ($7.00) consists of Fish cake, Prawn cake, Thai Spring Rolls, and Deep Fried Beancurd. It's actually a mixture of all their appetizers. Nothing special, but it's still nicely fried smile
Fried Kailan Chinese Mushroom ($5.00) that has crunchy vegetables, but not so flavory.
Pandan Chicken ($4.00 for 2 pieces) is quite oily, but put aside the overcooked corners, it's yummy!
Steamed Tofu with Chicken Basil ($6.00). Sweet with a little spicy sauce is drenched over chicken basil and the soft, bouncy tofu.
Deep fried fish with pepp

 

 

 
er and garlic ($6.00). Came in small chunk size, but meat is soft, making it easy to chew. Great for kids!
Pineapple rice ($4.00). Rice is quite mushy, and topped with what I think is chicken floss? Not sure if the mushy-ness is supposed to their style, but I quite like it.
Green Curry Chicken ($5.00). Curry is thick and sweet, and suitable to go with rice.

Overall their food are quite delicious, and with its reasonably priced food, it does save several degree burns off your pocket! smile

For full review, please visit http://foodesteem.blogspot.com/2013/03/eno-oka-japanese-restaurant.html

Eno Oka Japanese Restaurant quietly stands between shophouses along Cairnhill Road. Not unless you heard about them, or stays nearby, the chance of others passing by is quite rare.

Shop space is pretty small and narrow, but still comfortable. Crew are foreigners, but not Japanese. Their service is commendable, though the serving of the food is pretty slow, especially when there wasn't much of a crowd in there.

Ordered vegetable tempura for $8.00, and ikageso nanban (fried squid tentacles) for $6.00. Both are average rated.

Mains we had chicken katsu set for $10. Pork cutlet cut up, and sliced cabbage as base. Juicy but not very crispy. Also had tonkotsu ramen for $11. The scent of the soup came rushing to my nostrils the moment it was brought near to me. Tempting to me, but noodles are like maggie mee. Soup base is simply the highlight of the ramen due to long hours of preparation.

We didn't had it, but the signature dish is actually their shabu shabu. It's pretty expensive, so we gave it a miss, as there's only two of us. Crew recommended us to give it a go the next time we visit them.
