RamenPlay Bishan, located near Bishan MRT Station, is a fine place for dining, with 2 levels of seating areas. The kitchen is located at the 1st level, and there are food lifts to transport the dishes to the 2nd level. I went there with my parents and grandma for dinner.

This is a memorable dining moment for me because this is the first time that we are having dinner at a Japanese restaurant during CNY period (usually we go to Chinese restaurants) and also our first time dining at RamenPlay, and grandma enjoys the food!

These were what we ordered:

Umani Ramen ($11.80)
Umani Ramen is one of RamenPlay's specialities; a bowl of ramen cooked in rich and thick gravy using shoyu soupbase, and topped with prawn, cuttlefish, pork, quail’s egg and vegetables. Its taste is similar to the hokkien noodles sold at zi char stalls, except that more tender noodles are used.

Crispy Dango ($3.80)
These deep-fried chicken meatballs are crispy, but the mayonnaise and plum sauce makes this a too sweet dish.

Miso Cheese Platter ($8.80)
This platter consists of 3 items, namely breaded cheese with cucumber, rice roll stuffed with veg in sweet sauce and takoyaki. Love the rice roll the best because it is refreshing and sweet!

Oreo Milkshake ($4.80)
Oreo milkshake, topped with cream, chocolate shavings and a love letter stick is the perfect drink for chocoholics like myself!

Yuzu Yoghurt ($4.80)
A sweet yoghurt drink with a zesty lemon flavor helps to cleanse the palate for more dishes coming along the way!

Black Sesame Fried Rice ($10.80)
The black sesame taste was just right, giving the fried rice its fragrant scent, and it's a great dish to go with other side dishes!

Butariki Ishinabe ($12.80)
Pan-fried and barbequed pork, spring onion, seaweed, and egg sit on a bed of premium Japanese Niigata rice. The pork were thinly sliced, making me crave for each mouthful and not getting sick of the taste. Love the sauce that was added to the dish; made it more flavourful!

8 Treasure Hot Stone Rice ($18.80)
8 ingredients (prawn, scallop, gingko, buta kakuni (pork belly), cha shu, toroniku (pork cheek), bamboo shoots, chestnuts and wolf berries) appear in this hot stone pot with rice, mushroom and egg added. Though there were 8 ingredients, the amount of each was very little and wasn't satisfying enough.

During Café Cartel’s Happy Hours from 9pm, snacks, ice-cream, coffee drinks and cakes are 50% off! On top of that, there’s free flow of bread, so it’s a definite yes to visit there! In the past, customers cut the bread by themselves, but now, the waiters serve the bread to your table.

This time round, I tried two cake flavours: Pear and Caramel Layered Cake and Chocolate Banana Cake (U.P. $5.80 each).

Pear and Caramel Layered Cake: The top layer of the cake was caramelized and ‘burned’ lightly so there’s a slight charred taste to it. The pear cubes within the cake were caramelized as well, which I wish they weren’t, as this turned the cake into more of a caramelized version without any taste of the pear.

Chocolate Banana Cake: I love this cake! It is soft, has white chocolate pieces and the taste of the mashed banana within the cake was not overpowering.

Also ordered a cup of Cartel Special (vanilla-flavoured espresso & caramel topped with whipped cream) (U.P. $6) to complement the cakes. The refreshing taste of vanilla makes this a great coffee drink.

Remember to drop by Café Cartel after 9pm for discounted treats!

Went to Cold Stone Creamery because my friend wanted to try the ice-cream from this new ice-cream outlet that just opened in Singapore and also, I was curious about their ice-cream flavours. As this was our first visit, we didn’t know how to order and what to order as prices were not stated on their wall menu. The staff helped us by recommending one of their most ordered signature creations, the Chocolate Devotion ($7.90). There were two types of waffle baskets to choose from: Plain ($1) and Chocolate ($1.50).

I watched as she put Chocolate Ice Cream, Chocolate Chips, Brownie & Fudge on the cold slab and started mixing all the ingredients together. Finally, she flipped the ice-cream into the air and scooped it into the plain waffle basket. The ice-cream was great, and I especially enjoyed those scoops with pieces of mashed brownie. It’s a sinful treat, but worth savouring!

They claim that their QQ Rice are high in calcium and fiber, aid in stronger bones, and low in fat and cholesterol; basically it's a healthy meal. Rice that could be eaten in a different way, you got to try it!

There's more than 20 varieties of rice rolls to choose from, or customize your own rice roll with your favourite fillings. The types of rice to choose from for the rice roll are: Mixed Grain Rice, Red Rice, Purple Rice, Brown Rice and Wheat Germ Brown Rice.

I ordered the Purple Rice and Mixed Grain Rice with fillings such as ngoh hiang, pork floss, minced meat and ham. There wasn't a distinct taste and it feels like I'm eating rice with side dishes, just that it's all squashed into a packed roll. The taste could be better if specialty sauces were provided. Prices are costly too. Have a go at it, you may like its taste and the best part is: it's healthy.
