for more food pictures and full review, please go to http://princessmic80.blogspot.sg/2013/11/food-review-makanhunt-brewbaker.htmlA fusion food lover aka Me and together with a group of Openricers head on down to Brewbaker's Kitchen & Bar for a Food Tasting session on 5th Nov 2013. Brewbaker's is actually located far away from the city crowd at Anchorvale community centre.

Brewbaker has recently revamp their menu to serve both japanese and western food. Some of the food on the menu is a combi of both western and japanese style so if you love fusion food like me, do give it a try. =).

Sashimi Caesar Salad - Tossed assorted lettue with caesar dressing, topped with garlic-herb croutons & raw fish @ $12.80 My View : Brewbaker uses wasabi yuzhu sauce which i think is pretty unique taste for me. I love the fresh crispy veges and the sashimi is superb. i give this dish a thumbs up!

Atsuage Tofu - Grilled japanese beancurd @ $5.50 My View : The toufu they use is slightly different. Is the hard type. Sprinkle with fish flakes, drip with soya sauce and sprinkle some chili flakes, it actually taste quite good except i prefer the soft toufu instead.

Carbonara Udon - Udon fried with bacon in creamy sauce, served with half boiled egg @ $12.60My view : this is actually a fusion dish. instead of using the normal noodles, Brewbake uses udon. Something special about their udon is they are handmade and the reason why it gives a QQ taste. The bacon is very crispy. Not too rich in texture despite it looks super creamy. The onsen egg that further enhance the taste of the sauce but it doesnt turn out to be very starchy. I give this thumbs up too!

Kinoko pizza - Japanese styled mushroom pizza @ $12.60My view : Crispy out crust but soft on the inside. Topped with fresh shitake mush rooms. I love japanese mushrooms as they are always generous with the toppings. For this one, it is fully covered in the fish flakes which is my favourite! i give this a thumbs up too.

BBQ N.Z. Beef Rib - one huge meaty beef rib marinated with chef's bbq sauce and served with salad & wedges @ $21.00My view : The beef is juicy and tender for medium well. the beef is very well marinated with the BBQ sauce and i love this dish!

Beef Shabu shabu - Sliced beef & mixed vegetables with soup @ $14.50 (1 pax)My view : the soup base is very light and refreshing that comes with alot of vegetables! the soup is prepared with no MSG and with 100% real ingredients! the beef is thinly sliced so once deep in, it is cooked almost immediately!

Matsu Sushi Moriawase - 6 types of sushi @ $31.00My view : One word ~ Fresh!

Pork Belly Yakiniku ~ Pork belly on Charcoal grill @ $12.80 (1 pax)My view : The pork belly is thinly sliced so you need to make sure that you do not overcooked else it will be very tough. personally i prefer beef as i managed to "steal" a piece from another group of openricer lol.

Marble Cheesecake in a chocolate cup - Served with mixed fresh fruits and chocolate sauce @$6.50My view : i love the creamy marble cheesecake! the chocolate cup is too hard to eat though. haha.

Well, i rather take sweet pastry as i am not really a sweet tooth person ( i do eat them but i can live without them). This bakery cafe actually is just a block away from my office =). Happen that i was on half day and so i decided to buy some back for tea break with my mum in the evening on Fri.

I did not order their sandwiches but two of the pastries. Cinnamon Bread and their lemon tart. Of cos, these 2 cannot make a good review for this cafe la but just want to share some of my Wooo and Booo haha. Personally, i love their lemon tart. The filling is really smooth. The crust is very soft. Overall i give it a Wooo.i give a little boo for the Cinnamon bread cos i feel like it taste more like croissant than bread. and it is a little hard for my preference. However, it is still quite nice la.Overall :

Will i come again ? Yes. to try out other pastries.

The most expensive Shabu i had so far but is so gd that is worth every single cent! Located at Takashimaya level 4. We were captivated by the yummy pictures of shabu and here we go lol. we managed to get a seat despite the restaurant is about 70% packed.

on their menu, they offered sushi and bento sets. and they also offer sukiyaki and nanbe set. For our case, we decided on their most expensive shabu set lol. for this set, we were given their premium beef and it comes with vege, desert too. at the end of the shabu, they will use the stock from the shabu to cook porridge which is really good. enough said, let the pictures do the talking

the sauce for shabu and is really good. i love the sesame sauce!the fresh vege that comes with it.the beef! you can see the fats that is evenly spread. the beef is super tender and thinly sliced. it taste heavenly! i love itafter shabu, they use the soup to cook porridge and is really good! ending the day with desert! overall

Whole Earth restaurant started since 2003 that offers another alternatives to normal vegetarian food ~ Thai Peranakan cuisine. The restaurant has also gain its reputation for many winning awards too! Located at Peak Seah street, the restaurant is a 1 level restaurant and is usually packed with alot of customers. So if you do want to dine at Whole Earth, do remember to make your reservations to avoid disappointment.

The variety of food actually surprise me as they do offer more variety than some of the zi char vegetarian restaurant. Food taste wise, there are some dishes that wow me and some that give me a boo. The price is consider pretty steep. Each dish is approx 10 over bucks for small size.

Here are some of the food we had that night

Fried Mee Sua (7 bucks)- I find this dish is pretty good for vegetarian style of cooking. The mee sua is not too soggy nor it is very hard. it doesnt really taste vegetarian to meDouble boiled nourishing soup - 28 (S) / 55 (M). i guess this is the most expensive dish of the night. We ordered a small one to share which is slightly just nice for 4 of us. The soup is pretty much "herbal" taste with bamboo shoots in it. The taste wise is ok for me. nothing much to wow about and neither to boo about. OK onlyOatmeal tofu with curry leaves (15 bucks). i love this. especially the oatmeal. The toufu is pretty crispy but soft on the inside.broccoli with braised monkeyhead mushroom (19 bucks). For those who love monkeyhead mushroom will love it and vice versa. For me, i am a fan of mushrooms so i love the taste of monkeyhead mushroom. but sadly this dish doesnt give me a WOW. is just a normal stirred fried except with premium ingredientsnonya curry (18 bucks) . this one gives me a boo. the curry powder is too much and too dry for my liking.here, you can choose unpolished rice or white rice to go with your meals! for those who are very health conscious, you can opt for unpolished rice!

Overall
Food wise : ** ( Ok only)
Price : ****
Customer service : * ( slow in serving customers and attending to customers. i seen they are quite rude to the guest at another table)

Will i come again? Sorry. dont think so

Overall, will i come again? Yes!

so now lets checkout whats on their menu!

Zensai ($10.80) – Seafood Mayo on Fresh Saladthe salad is very crunchy especially the seaweed. it gives you the "sea" taste for each mouthful bite of it. the mayo is very nice but slightly salty. But overall, this dish is very refreshing.

next we had Dobin Mushi ($10.80) – Teapot Soupthe soup is very sweet and fresh. this is my first time trying this dish actually. one word to describe this, superb! i love it.

next we had Sashimi: Fukuya Tokusen Platter (7 kinds) ($68.80) – Toro, Uni, Botan Ebi, Salmon Belly, Katsuo Tataki, Shima Aji, Taiomg. this is heaven! the sashimi is super fresh and i love it! with flower petals sprinkle on the sashimi, the dish not only look delicious, it is also super good too!

next Yakimono: Gintara Mentaiyaki ($20.80)grill cod fish with mentaiyaki! the rich mentaiyaki is super rich and creamy. After it is grilled, it gives a crispy and it enhance the taste of the grill cod fish too! the cod fish is extremely fresh too!

next we had Sushi: Fukuya Aburi Sushi Mori (5 kinds) ($28.80) – Salmon, Anago, Akami, Buri Belly + Unkan Uni & Ikura Toppingthis is also one of my fav dish of the night. the wasabi is very light and not "over" so it doesn't cover the freshness of the sushi taste. the slightly grilled sushi is very well done for it still maintain the "raw" when it is in the semi cooked state so it doesnt lose the "fresh" taste

Menrui ($26.80) – Fukuya Seafood Ramen (Small)the broth is specially created by Chef Ming. It is a combination of Japanese and western soup. at first i thought it is a lobster soup but actually it is more of vege base soup lol. the ramen is topped with lots of seafood like prawn and scallop.

last but not list, the "da boom" of the night will go to Kyoho Ice Cream (Japanese Grape Flavour) with Kuri Kanronni (Boiled Chestnut) ($8.80)never to be missed! their ice cream desert is sooo good that my stomach actually make more space for it..i finish it lo! lol

so what are you waiting for? head down to Jurong Country Club now and try out Fukuya now!
