After newspaper reports of the bubble tea pearls containing some kidney failure causing chemicals, many were very wary about drinking bubble tea. Perhaps due to my rebellious streak, my craving for bubble tea increased exponentially after reading the reports!

This OK Tea branch at The Grandstand is very courageous not to have closed down despite all these hoo-ha.
I ordered the honey milk tea (without pearl! haha! kiasi (scared of death)) with a sugar level of 50% then decided to go even lower as the honey would make it sweet too. I can't recall the price but I believe it was around $2.40 for the medium sized one and $3.50 for the large one.
If I ever have my cravings I will definitely come back here to get my quick fix if I happen to pass by!

Steak and Fish Combo ($22.50) This dish is a combination of steak and fish. You're allowed to choose how you would like the beef to be cooked, I chose medium rare and it did not cook well. So I told the waitress to bring me another one as it was a little close to well-done instead of medium rare. They didn't give me another piece but I think they heat it up and or merely took it into the kitchen to prance it around and gave it back to me because there wasn't any difference... I didn't want to argue as I was really hungry. And for the price that I was paying, I really expected more from them. The fish was quite good. I love the baked potato at the side! I told the waitress to keep pouring the sour cream and bacon bits! HAHA! Vegetables at the side were well-cooked so I have no qualms about it.

I feel that the standard has dropped a lot since the last time I came, seems like they weren't worried about losing customers.

Tried this new chicken dish which was wrapping some salmon bits. It was a funny combination; i didn't really enjoy it. There were some fruit salad on it, which had kiwis, tomatoes, and onion. Really really odd taste. This dish cost $14.80 and I felt that it was not too bad.

I also ordered a dessert to make myself feel happier and I think it cheered me up after my disappointing meal! This cost $5.20 after a 20% discount that I had. I think it's quite worth it! The ice cream and caramel was really good! I love hot and cold desserts together. The round pancake looking thing was really soft and squishy but I was tired of eating it after awhile. Still! This made me really happy!

Went out with the bf the other day and after we had our meal somewhere else, I was dying for a drink and I spotted the ichiban sushi having a new drinks menu. They always seem to come up with new menu to attract the customers in! I love this about the restaurant. Ordered this drink which was really pretty. When you stir it you can see the bits floating around and making a mini tornado inside makes it looks even prettier as the red bits (strawberries) starting floating up! And it looks like a sunset. This is essentially strawberry + sprite! But I like the combi! Although it is a little pricey at $4.90++

Kaisen Anakake Nabe: $23.90This set consists of Salmon Nabe (a type of soup-base), crabmeat salad, chawamushi, rice, soup, and a beautifully shaped fried fish cake. I like the crabmeat salad the most out of the whole set! haha! The salmon nabe was not too bad, salmon was a little too thin for my liking and as it was about$25 in total, I expected a bigger cut. The fried fish cut although pretty, was not very good as it was deep fried for too long. Making the skin a little hard. I couldn't identify what was on the rice (purple flakes) but i think it's some sort of sour ingredient? Tasted a bit funny.

I love how the set meal is always this lunch portion where I share almost share amongst 3 of us and we only need to add 1-2 more side dishes.
