Thought that the place was not crowded but turned out that most of the tables were under reservation. In the end we decided on the counter seats with a great view of the staffs grilling the sticks. Although we were sitting right in front of the grilling section, it was not smoky.

 
While looking through the menu, we were served a complimentary side dish which was lightly dressed cabbage.

 
Volcano Roll ($9.90++/ 4pcs)
Sushi roll with avocado, crabmeat, and cucumber on top with spicy salmon, flying fish roe and homemade spicy mayonnaise sauce
Felt the roll itself was rather bland without the mayonnaise sauce. The avocado, crab meat and salmon could barely be tasted.

 

 
Bakudan Korokke ($8.90++)
Homemade Egg Potato Croquette
It looked like a deep fried ball when served. Cut it opened, one would be able to see the molten lava egg yolk flowing out smooothlng from inside. Potato salad enclosed the egg. Interesting dish by itself. No wonder it was recommended by the staff.

 
Tsukune ($4.90++)
Big Chicken Meatball with Cheese
The meatball were so juicy and crunchy that my partner thought we were having pork meatballs and could not believe that its chicken.

 
Enoki Bacon ($3.90++)
Bacon & Golden Mushroom with Garlic Soy Sauce
The stick looked rather dry but it was juicy and crunchy.

 
Eringi ($3.90++)
Oyster Mushroom in Garlic Butter
I like that the mushroom was lightly seasoned which one could still taste the actual flavour of the mushroom.

We down the meal with green tea ($1++/ pax), which was refillable.

Beauty hotpot Smile Jul 12, 2017   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Sukiyaki/Shabu Shabu

 


The restaurant was located at the end. There was no no queue, but all members of the dining had to be around before being shown to a table. Comparing to its menu when it just opened in Singapore, the menu had expanded a lot to Curry Flavour and Spicy Chili Flavour Collagen chicken stock , shabu shabu, sukiyaki, and shaved ice.

 

Nikumaki ($3.50++)
Nikumaki onigri is bite-sized rice ball wrapped in pork, baked with a special soy sauce.
Felt it was quite savoury with the rice inside moist and flavourful.

Nikumaki Cheese ($3.80++)
Melted cheese on Nikumaki.
The cheese flavour was quite distinct and could be slightly overwhelming.


Bijin Nabe (S$25++/ person)
1. Soup Base - Spicy Chili Flavour Collagen Chicken Stock

 
2. Ingredients - Lettuce, Baby Sweet Potato Leaves, Enoki Mushrooms, Baby Corn, Black Fungus, Deep Fried Tofu, Tori Tsukune, Sunflower Sprout, Prawn, and Watermelon Radish
3. Noodle - Thick Mochi-Mochi Noodle

 
Served with Basic Sauce Set : Homemade Chili Oil, Leek Oil, Yuzu Pepper, Homemade Chili Padi Soy Sauce

 

 

The soup base was served in jelly form, which will melt as the pot warm up. After it was fully melted, the staff would served the stewed chicken in bowl with the soup in a tiny tasting cup. The soup was rich and flavourful without too spicy.

 

 

The staff placed the ingredients in the hotpot, with the noodle last after finishing most of the ingredients in the pot. The staff also served a seaweed based paste which was said to enhance the soup's taste.

 

After finishing the hotpot, we were served a plate which was decorated in a cutesy way with jelly cube for dessert.

 


"Shirokuma" Shaved Ice ($7.80++)
Shaved ice and condensed milk, shaped into a white bear that is cute to eat.
It was cute and not too sweet. Would prefer the ice to be shaved finer and the milk to be distribute more evenly instead of just the centre.

The restaurant was relatively quite for Monday night with about a couple tables occupied. Service was fast.

 
Pork Patty with Salted Fish and Water Chestnut 鹹魚马蹄煎肉餅 ($6++/ petite)
The patties looked simple and a tab dry but it was savoury and crunchy inside.

 

Salivating Spicy Chicken 囍宴金牌口水雞
($6.50++/ petite)
It looked quite spicy with the layer of chilli oil on top. There was cold silky smooth potato noodles buried underneath the pile of chicken slices and century egg wedges. While it was spicy, it was refreshing cold at the same time.

 
Deep-fried Shrimp Paste Fish Fillet with Pomelo Water Chestnut Salad 香茅蝦醬炸鱼柳配柚子沙拉 ($9++/ petite)
It looked different from the picture. An odd combination which worked refreshing well. It was a party in the mouth with savoury shrimp paste, juicy tart pomelo and sweet dressing.

 
Fried Lo Shi Fan with Xi Yan XO Sauce 客家XO醬干炒老鼠粉 ($12.80++)
Simply looking with wok taste and crunchy feel. Thought that it would be spicy with XO sauce but turned out that it was not.

Time for some sweet Smile Jul 07, 2017

It was a small outlet located in the 七福星咖啡 coffee shop, just across the street from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent). Although the menu was limited, but what's available were great.

 
Fairest Of All (S$7.50)
Belgian Waffle, topped with vanilla ice cream, homemade berry compote and homemade mango compote.
One of the 3 waffle choices available.

The waffle was crispy outside, while light and airy inside. The owner refused to tell what she had added to make the Belgian waffle so airy, just mentioned that it was a secret which she had gone through many trials and errors to find out.
The compote was not too sweet, packed with chunky juicy fruits, with the berries leaving a slight tart taste.

 

Salted Caramel Brownie
(S$2.50)
It was rich, moist and dense, without too sweet. The salted caramel sauce interestingly gave it a distinct salty taste. No wonder it was the most popular item on the menu. Another fact about the brownie was that it was so dark in colour that it looked almost black. Totally different from the usual brown coloured brownie which I was expecting. The owner shared that it was made with extra dark cocoa that was similar in colour to oreo cookies, which was why the colour was like black in colour. Best have it served hot, with a scoop of icy cold vanilla ice cream.

Made a reservation before going to the restaurant. The place was not crowded. Selected the booth seat table which overlook the ground floor. Quiet end of the restaurant so a tab difficult to get the attention of the staff. Please note that plain water was chargeable, at $0.30++ per glass.

Enquired about 1-for-1 promotion by FEAST mobile application. The staff replied that its only available before 5pm which I replied it was not stated. The second staff replied that one redemption could used. But in the end, all 3 redemptions available at this restaurant on the application in my mobile phone were being processed as used by another staff. It was an confusing experience, but at least I received 1-for-1 my orders of 2 mains, pizza and pasta.

 
Hawaiian Pizza ($14.90++)
Say Aloha to this generous spread of honey baked ham, pineapple and shredded mozzarella cheese on a crispy crust served with pizza sauce.
Lots of liao on the pizza. Crispy fluffy base.

 
Grilled Chicken Fettuccine ($14.90++)
This amazing fettuccine is served with a hefty portion of grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes and garlic cream sauce.
It looked like noodle soup when served. The dish was tasty and the thick amount of sauce kept the noodles moist and hot.

 
Empire State BBQ Pork Ribs ($17.90++)
Fall in lover with this tender pork ribs rubbed with signature spice seasoning and flavoured with homemade BBQ sauce. Served with fries and mesclun salad.
The serving was huge. The meat was tender and well flavoured, tear easily from the bones.

 
Grilled Salmon with Thermidor Sauce ($17.90++)
Salmon grilled the way you like with a themidor sauce and served with mashed potato and buttered vegetables.
The fish was juicy and moist. The themidor sauce was a tab of sourness.


The place was just next to a playground where the little ones could have their fun while the adults eat.
