I love Yakitori and Tori Q’s where I go to have them. There’s chicken, pork with asparagus, unagi, chicken balls…ad all marinated and grilled to perfection! Their Bento sets are pretty worth it and consists of a few sticks (at least 4) of Yakitori, rice which is drizzled with a delicious soy sauce and some pickles. If only the prices of the individual sticks of yakitori could be as they were when they first came to Singapore; I believe that there has been at least a 20 cent increase per stick since!

While this stall’s Japanese name translates to ‘Octopus balls’ in English, they come in other flavours as well! The traditional Octopus balls are filled with a nice thick piece of Octopus so it’s chewy but not tough while the prawn ones are really good as well. Both usually come sprinkled with a generous amount of bento flakes. But the most popular type has got to be the bacon and cheese! The melty cheese complements the bacon perfectly and makes every bite or mouthful a delight.

The ramen served here tastes slightly different from those in other outlets here. For one, their stock is both seafood and meat based, so there is more complexity of flavour in the broth. Needless to say, it is also richer in taste as well. Many may find the broth here a tad too salty but this is indeed keeping to its authentic Japanese flavour. The noodles are on the thicker side which is a nice change from the usual thin ones.

This Australian franchise has awesome ice cream and waffles! I usually go patronize the place on Tuesdays as they have their weekly special ‘Half prized waffles on Tuesdays’! The waffles are served freshly made and piping hot and come with whipped cream and drizzled with maple syrup. Sounds good? Pair it with one or two scoops of ice cream and the result is heavenly. I usually choose vanilla because it doesn’t overwhelm the taste of the waffle.

Free smells here! For the uninitiated, that’s what you’ll experience whenever you walk pass their outlets. The delicious smell of cookie dough baking in the oven is mouth-watering! I find the cookie cakes to sweet even though they make nice gifts for special occasions. Stick to their selection of cookies of which the Macadamia Chocolate Chip ones are the best…to me at least!
