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.

Really had to eat some sushi the other day! I didn't waste any stomach space ordering the ramen, side sishes, etc. Devil's Maki ($12.99)
This sounds really interesting and at first I thought it would be flaming hot. But nope! This maki came in a set of 8 and consisted of salmon, cheese, cucumber and lady's finger. Salmon sashimi was slightly seared, i like how it's like half cooked and half-raw. Cheese Maki ($4.29)
I like the cheese and prawn combination. Both of my favourite food! The crepe also added to the delicious-ness of the sushi. Salmon Mayo Maki ($4.29)
This was a new dish, salmon mayonnaise in beancurd skin. Not very special but if you like salmon, do give it a try!

SUSHI CRAVING SATISFIED!

I ran across the street when I smelt the awesome smell of cinnamon wafting through the air as i got close to the mrt station. Following my nose, I spotted the words churros and I made a mad dash!
Ordered the Regular Churros Cup ($3.90) and shared with my friends. Oh my, I was disappointed. It didn't melt in my mouth and it was close to being tough and being difficult to pull apart. They allowed us to add a free topping and we chose the chocolate flavour. It was way too sweet when paired with the sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on. They shouldn't allow the option of adding toppings, it's like trying to "hua4 she1 tian1 zhu2"(add something without the necessity of it).

I was very disappointed and I hope they can make fresher batch or change their batter so that it doesn't harden quickly.

Wanted to try TimHoWan but the queue was way too long and I was too hungry to wait. We went to this crystal jade to try the dim sum instead.
I ordered the Har Gow, Chee Cheong Fun and Custard Bun ($5.20)
I love the filling in the har gow! The prawn inside was crunchy, the way that i like. Some parts of the skin was a little dry though. I think they also added something inside that made it especially sweet! Tasted a bit flour-y. I actually thought this was the steamroll with prawns/char siew inside as the menu stated that it was steam rice tool/sesame seed ($3.80). Was quite surprised as I've always loved sesame and another with sesame would make me have an instant liking to it. I think the yellow looking liquid is mustard? So there were ketchup and mustard with the chee cheong fun. Pretty good! The custard bao was okay, I like that the skin was soft and it looks like little man-tou. ($4.00)

Not a bad dim-sum place to dine if you're looking for an alternative to TimHoWan!
