Curry needs no introduction to Singaporeans – we’re all familiar with all its different variations and just how plain delicious it can be. But the Japanese have certainly brought their own twist to this popular dish – and we got to experience this recently at the newly opened branch of CoCo Ichibanya at Westgate Jurong. The Westgate outlet is the first cafe-style concept for CoCo Ichibanya in Singapore.
CoCo ICHIBANYA offers varieties of Japanese Curry, and is perhaps the only curry restaurant chain that allows us to customize or design our plate of curry rice. The highly customisable menu allows us to pick the amount of rice and the type of vegetable to go along with it, with different levels of spiciness, from the highest of level 5 to a mild level of almost sweet curry.
We have tried their level 2 spiciness for Pork cutlet curry with cheese $12, level 3 spiciness for Creamed mushroom omelette curry $14,Salad $7, Banana Choco Pancake $8.90 and Rainbow Fruity Pancake $8.90.
Our verdict, curry from Coco Ichibanya will definitely be able to meet our curry craving with its rich and flavourful curries. Though we have not tried level 4 and 5, judging from level 2 and 3, we think that’s already good enough for the general public who can tolerate some level of spiciness.

Ribs are Morganfield’s claim to fame – self-proclaimed Home of Sticky Bones, they are slow grilled and smoked to achieve an even tenderness, then swept with a special barbecue sauce for a taste of smokey perfection.
Morganfield’s first branch in Singapore was at Star Vista, and they quickly expanded to open its second branch at Suntec City, right beside Promenade MRT station, where we were invited for this food tasting session.
Though Morganfield’s is well-known for its sticky pork ribs, the newly revamped menu now includes a wide selection of appetizers, salads, steaks and chops, seafood, poultry, burgers, sandwiches and an array of side orders.
We got the chance to taste some of the popular side orders alongside the ribs.
Our verdict, if you are looking for a good chill out place with friends, Morganfield’s could be a good choice for its delicious ribs and snacks. Do give their Homemade Cinnamon Candied Bacon (or American bak kwan as we called it) a try; the signature sticky bones should not be missed as well, and of course, with an ice cold bottle of beer!

Badoque is located in Simpang Bedok, a popular “makan” spot, especially for Halal food. You’d be spoiled for choice by the various types of Halal eateries here, ranging from Western food, fast food to local cooked dishes or zi char.
We came on a weekend evening, and the area was packed. Stepping inside, we were greeted by the café’s modern decor – black painted walls adorned with framed pictures and pop-up alphabets, with the choice of an air conditioned or al fresco sitting area. The menu was vibrantly coloured, which is lovely, but it was also kind of hard to find what we wanted since the food items were all over the place.
On the whole, we found the food portions here huge, so we were speculating that was probably what kept the customers coming back, especially since we find that the food quality here wasn’t exactly top notch. That said, if you intend to pay a visit to Badoque, we recommend giving the Naked Salmon, Mango Yoghurt smoothie and Mango Soda a try.

Blanco Court Prawn Mee occupies one of the shop houses along Beach Road, we were there early in the Sunday morning and the city area was much a dead town in the weekend morning. When we reached there, most of the shops still have it doors shut but the crowd already occupied half of the shop, looks like there is always a pool of prawn mee die-hard fans.
We ordered the dry and soup version.
The dry version served with bean sprout, vegetable, lard and few shrimp, the sauce was not too spicy and right at the note, the taste may not as good as Da Tou Xia Prawn Mee with lacking or insufficient dry shrimp (hia bee) to perk up the taste, it may not too refine but still comforting to the taste buds.
The soup version came with pork rib which was a little tough, prawns were similar to the dry version and nothing to complaint about. It was the broth that we are more particular, since we were there in the morning and the broth was fairly fresh with not much of the additional seafood flavouring added through the subsequent cooking process of the prawns.
