prawn - not spicy - carbonara Smile Mar 10, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Fusion | Restaurant | Pasta

Rather than ajisen ramen which really is not ramen after you tried the best ramen in town, thank goodness for waraku, plus the fact that batavia air is at T2 instead of 1! Hooray. T2 has more good food!

Ordered this dish for the first time because the peeled prawns looked good on top of the carbonara sauce ($14.80). It came ultra fast, after the measly normal salad that comes along with the pasta, i think in less than 10 minutes, my dish came out! Also they refill immediately without me having to call them to ask for a fill. Even could choose whether you want warm, ice, or hot water. Tops for the service. smile

Dish was well, as expected, NOT SPICY. Well well, nothing new in Singapore. So the parmesan cheese and chilli powder and black pepper came to aid - the cheese made the sauce creamier and rich in the taste with even more tangy and salty, the chilli which just adds a little spice with the black pepper.

Quite a lot for a portion though, the spaghetti is cooked just right, as springy and not too soft and hard. With the salad, the whole portion just sits nicely!

Then I had a good rest on board the plane all filled up.

ayam penyet kecap Smile Mar 03, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indonesian | Halal

If people are more acquainted with Ayam Penyet Ria, my cousin who brought me here likes this place better.

hidden in one alley far left of lucky plaza, ayam penyet president serves its chicken with a truly super spicy chilli chilli which my cousin became so heaty and she was crying afterwards tongue

It's authentic as it gets, don't forget to ask for the kecap manis when it's served!
And they really serve fast, in 5 minutes time, so for those who are really hungry, this is the place to eat! Hot warm rice accompanies the soft chicken meat.

Cheese prata supper OK Mar 03, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indian | Coffeeshop | Curries | Halal

My friend is a little devil asking me for supper. And well, I gave in. Prata!? I give up.

I ordered the simple cheese prata, $2, comes with a piece of the prata and the accompanying curry sauce in the plate that looks like those old canteen tin plates. For my drink, masala tea $1.50 is definitely the drink to go whenever I'm going to an Indian restaurant, it has been my favorite ever since my cousin introduced it to me.

Compared with the egg prata my friend ordered though, cheese was a tad plain. The egg is more thick and rich and its better with the curry. The tea was well expected!
nice filling for supper!

Surprising outlet! Smile Mar 03, 2011

Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

To my surprise, itacho appeared since when in Bugis junction?!

I thought it was only in ION, so when my friend wanted sushi, we were stuck between sakae sushi and itacho. seeing that both had Qs, we settled for Itacho which also had a Q but hey, doesn't this restaurant always get good reviews and theres so many people coming in to Q for such a long time? This was my first time and luckily, compared to the Q in ION, this was much more human since the place was also smaller than ION.

It was small and has very limited space, something I dislike about the resto. Quite cramp and got no space for me to put my stuff if I take a 2seater table.

We tried the pretty thing spicy salmon with beancurd stick w mayonnaise ($1.60), salmon spring roll ($3) and california hand roll of a many few.

First, the spicy salmon w beancurd, ISN'T spicy. Hahaha and the taste was just OK, nothing special nor tasteful.

Salmon spring roll is a total asian fuse! This is a must-try, it has a zing of fresh taste, perhaps lime in the sauce, with a delectable crunch of the skin and inner vegetable. Really beautiful as well in the presentation, kirei kirei!

The california hand roll, well all rolls are quite a hassle to eat. The vegetables say, are fresh enough since it was still crunchy. As expected.

Good place for good friends Smile Nov 30, 2010

Went out for dinner with friends, which my friend chose the place to eat at Marche. It's been a long while since I remembered the last time I ate their famous rosti...!

That should be on top of anyone's list on being a Marche newbie. A long line usually is expected at the Rosti counter. Try their rosti with the salmon top. Interesting sashimi mix with rosti for about $16++!
This time I tried the sirloin steak for about $15+. They also have given baked potato and salad. The patty was quite fat, and the meat was ordered well done so it was quite hard overall! My friend have suggested that best to get it in Medium instead. However the juices are still succulent enough, but probably medium will have overflowing juices! mad Not much of a recommendation though, but it's one of the options there to try! smile

Desserts are super tempting, I manage to get a sneak shot before they said "Sorry, no photography allowed!" This should be my next gastronomic goal to try almost everything in their desserts, although I'm sure, other places should be better though, would anyone recommend nearby?
