On a unpredictable weather, a cup of nice yoghurt comes to my rescue. As this is my first time at Yoguru, I studied for awhile before I know what I wanna have. I choose the small size of Yogu-Flavour ($3.50) and there are 3 flavours to choose from so I took Mango with 2 toppings, which is aloe vera and a red little ball that tastes like cherry.

The yoghurt is marvellous. Simple and icy. The mango taste is just right, not very strong. Together with the toppings, it matches just right. And every bite of the red little ball is a burst of mild sweet taste. Love it. Will come again for more.

Having heard from my guy about the nice ramen from RamenPlay, decided that for dinner as I have long wanted to try.

We ordered Tebasaki Braised Chicken Wings Tonkotsu Ramen ($12.80), Spicy Minced Pork Tonkotsu Ramen ($12.80), Bamboo Chicken ($5.80) and a Yuzu Yoghurt drink that total up about $42.00.

Yuzu Yoghurt

Awesome choice although I don't taste any yoghurt in it but maybe it is all blended inside. So icy and taste a little like lemon but confirm perk you up.

Tebasaki Braised Chicken Wings Tonkotsu Ramen

I guess they have braised the chicken wings real long. It is so soft in texture that when you bite on it, it tears easily. The soup is tasty of course along with the nice ramen which is what I long for. The instant noodles type of ramen that taste springy. The way they cook the noodles is very important. Best part, I love the egg. Again, the taste is in between soft boiled and hard-boiled egg. So soft and nice, I just don't know how they manage that.

Spicy Minced Pork Tonkotsu Ramen

My guy loves it. He has a thing for spice and although this is not very spicy but he considered it good. At least it meets his minimum expectation for spicy level. The minced pork are nice and when mixed, it seems like disappearing before you. Seems like melting together with the soup. That maybe helps to enhance the soup base that why it is so tasty. And the portion of noodles is just right for both our Ramen.

Bamboo Chicken - Recommended

The side dish is served with egg yolk. I didn't dare to try raw egg yolk but I tasted the original taste. The chicken has the bamboo smell coming from it after grilling, with slightly charred and very juicy. I like it so much. Although is a little salty, but according to my guy, he said that after dipping into the egg yolk, it covers the saltiness and it tastes very smooth. I believe that because it is quite common that grilled stuff have this roughness against our gums that sometimes if too hot, it can cause you ulcer. I recommended all to at least try once on this Bamboo Chicken.

Despite the various reviews that I have seen online before heading there, I judge based on my taste bud. I mean you can't pleased everyone that easily. I will come back for their other choices next time.

I guess it is a Taiwanese food feast week for me this week. It seems that I can't get enough of mee sua. And as usual at Snackz It, our usual order will be Oyster Mee Sua + Crispy Calamari + Lemonade Lite. The price has increased from a combo $6.90 to $7.30 now. So having it once awhile is still fairly alright even though their food are nice. I strongly recommend if you can, order the combo. Much more worth it. Because it almost the same price if you order ala carte. But one good thing is if you order a combo, add a drink at only $0.70! 3 different types of drink for you to choose from. They have only a type of mee sua unlike Xi Men Street but the sides have 6 types.

Their Oyster Mee Sua is almost the same as the famous Ah Zhong Mian Xian in Taiwan and they used fresh oyster that actually melts in every mouthful of mee sua. They put chilli in the mee sua but should give a little bit more because with the fried onion inside, the former further enhance the overall taste. The vinegar should be given lesser because if too much, it spoils the mee sua taste.

As for the calamari, it doesn't taste very salty. It is very chewy and crispy with every bite. The flour or batter to dip the calamari in is not very thick and you can actually taste the calamari more rather than some others which the batter is thicker. Most importantly the calamari is fresh. That's why is chewy and springy. Choose if you want it spicy or not. Depends on individual preference. So do try it.

From my experience, Watami's food and service never fail to please us. Going back for more of their variety of food is certainly the thing to do as showing support to them.

And to save the hassle, we choose their Special Set menu at $59 for 2 persons rather than being so indecisive in ordering.

Caesars Salad Half w Hot Spring Egg Half

First thought, it was a normal bowl of salad that has hard-boiled eggs. But here, they used soft-boiled egg instead. I can't figure out if they put salad sauce or is the effect of the egg that makes the overall taste just like any other Caesars Salad. Can you imagine when you can't differentiate if it is sauce or soft-boiled egg that is blend/mix with the salad? This is definitely awesome. Everything is good for this bowl of salad, fresh ingredients. What's more can you ask for?

Salmon Sashimi

It is never enough when it comes to fresh salmon sashimi. 6 slices for 2 persons. I need about 10 slices on my own. Dipped in the light soya sauce, it is just so perfect.

Agetate Atsuage (Deep Fried Tofu)

I still don't understand why they top it with Katsuobushi (or okaka) but anyway as usual like any other Japanese restaurants, this deep fried tofu is crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. But it tastes bland. So what I do is dipped with the soup base of Kankoku Butechige hotpot. The way I have it is just like I'm having Malay food called Lontong. But at least in this way, it tastes a little better than just bland. Try it. Or maybe you can invent another way of eating instead of mine.

Ebi Tempura Maki - Main Dish

It is simply just shrimp tempura roll. Nothing to rave about. But for certain, this is just to satisfy our craving for sushi as it has been long since we had it. Okay maybe I should say that the shrimp has a little sweetness on every bite. The shells are kind of soft.

Kankoku Butechige - Hotpot

Here comes the hotpot. In their menu, it says that it is some Korean style of army hotpot that serves with pork in it. It comes with a bowl of Japanese rice too. And this is the soup base that I used to dip my fried tofu. You can find 2 types of mushrooms, pork belly, carrot, potato, mini sausage, small amount of kimchi, tofu, beansprouts, instant noodles, cabbage and one special thing and that is Ddeokbokki aka Korean Stir Fried Rice cake. Amazing right? Can you imagine when the soup is boiled, a variety of flavours come bursting in your mouth? The ingredient that made up this hotpot are nice and tasty. Most importantly, fresh!

Hotate Butter Yaki - Side Dish

Because being too judgmental, I thought I'm cheated again when it was served up. Small or shrinked scallops. But it tastes good unexpectedly. We never sprinkle with lemon and just have it at its original. The taste is juicy and chewy. The scallops are probably dip in butter batter before pan-frying or just glazing over it with butter. The buttery taste is there.

And we end our meal with a Hot Jasmine Green Tea. Definitely worth the price for this Special Set and you don't have to be indecisive on what to choose. Portion wise is certainly enough for 2 persons. As it all depends on individual taste buds, my verdict may not be convincing but you can try it personally to prove me wrong.

Once awhile having lunch at Carl's Junior can be a great experience. Although is much expensive than other fastfood restaurants but then it is their varieties that stands out from others.

So I grab myself a Honey Mustard Chicken Tender Sandwich Combo at $8.90 that comes with a small fries and drink. Upon payment, the cashier will pass on a cup for your drinks. There is a self-service corner where you get your drinks on your own and also the condiments that you need. A mini salad bar can be found there too.

The food is served up to us on our table. I tried their fries first. And is awesome. It strongly brings out the strong taste of potato. It is just as good as Texas Chicken's fries. You can never get enough of it. Although the size is smaller like those in Mcdonald's but definitely more like having fries from real potato than eating oil.

As for the sandwich, the chicken tender is as good as it is named. The chicken patty has that soft texture but somehow dry, not juicy at all. But that doesn't really matter. The whole sandwich is simple with just tomato, lettuce and honey mustard sauce.

Heard that their bread is hand-made but it tastes nothing special. Maybe the texture is soft, just like the chicken patty.
