dinner at ootoya Smile Oct 13, 2013

This place has quite a homely ambience which I like. The ambience was matched with the presentation of the food, which just makes one feel rather warm. However, prices are not really cheap though.

I ordered the ebi seiro set, which comprised of steamed rice with tiny shrimps, some grated pumpkin, pickles, miso soup and some cabbage soup.

The tiny shrimps were mildly flavored but still a joy to eat with the warm rice. The miso soup is one of the nicest I ever had, it was packed with some tofu and chicken bits too! As for the cabbage soup, well, I am not a fan of soggy overcooked cabbage, so I did not enjoy it.

Overall, the meal just makes one feel satisfied without the sin of health damaging 'bad food'.

I will definitely come back here again!

Ramen at men-ichi Smile Oct 13, 2013

Categories : Japanese | Ramen

This place can be rathered crowded even on a weekday night. The limited seating means that it is not a place for dwelling too long. Food is served rather promptly and tables are cleared pretty fast.

On this night, my partner and I ordered the shoyu tonkotsu ramen, which was approximately $15 each. It came with some slices of char siew, which was well-flavored. As for the soup, it was strong, without being too salty. The portion size was decent enough for a single person eating.

Had a wonderful dinner at ming kee live seafood. The seafood here is really fresh and well prepared.

This was my first time tasting bamboo clam, and it was really a delicacy! The clam was huge and steamed with butter and garlic, which gave it a special aroma. The meat was fresh and succulent. Though expensive, it's definitely a must try!

The kai lan was pretty poor though. It tasted slightly undercooked and wasn't even cut into decent portions. Though it had that wok hei taste, it was too hard to chew.. sad

The stir fried clams were fresh but it tasted average at best. It was also a chore to filter through the shells for the small pieces of clam meat.

The steamed frogs tasted good, with the essence of chicken lending much flavor to the fresh frogs.

As for the crabs, the black pepper taste was strong but the sauce was abit too salty. Not poor, but average at best.

Freshness is really what you can expect from ming kee. Everything tasted fresh, even though there were hits and misses tastewise.

chicken samurai burger meal OK Oct 12, 2013

Well, it may be fast food, but since this is a promotional 'time limited' item, its worth a review.

First of all, the chicken samurai burger alone cost $4.8 shocked For that price, you will be able to get a decent meal in any kopitiam. An extra value meal will cost $7.10, pretty expensive for the quality of food given.

The chicken samurai burger had a nice teriyaki sauce aroma with it, however, the size of the grilled chicken fillet was just too small for that price. The only uniqueness of this burger was the teriyaki sauce, but personally, i dont feel that it is worth the price (roasta burger from KFC is much better). sad

chicken bibimbap Smile Oct 10, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Korean | Food Court

The Korean food here is prepared by Korean and is authentic yet reasonably priced. Long queues are expected during Peak hours. However, it is totally worth waiting.

I ordered a chicken bibimbap set ($4.5), it came with rice, soup and a small serving of kimchi and anchovies each.

The chicken was well marinated and had a mild spicy taste without being too hot. It complements well with the rice and makes a good filling meal. The soup was light on the palate and could be added to the rice to make it less dry. As for the kimchi and anchovies, the only regret was its small portion.

It was really worthwhile at just $4.50. smile
