Be tempted by the eye-feasting seafood sashimi!

But the sashimi very expensive, so we didnt order. SOBZ >.<

Nevermind, my orders were good also, okay? Foie Gras & Scallop Sushi - $22

The eyes brightened up on sight of the generous portion of foie gras and meaty scallop. The tiny rice roll can barely 'support' the weight lor. Thumb up for this!Beef Teriyaki - $24

Dont be put off by the "bloody" scene, must be my camera and the not so bright lightings. This was really tender and juicy. Kinki Okonomiyaki - $26

The first two dishes were good but not filling. We browsed through the menu, looking for something that can be filling and still affordable, and ended up with okonmiyaki.

Overall, we really enjoyed the food, with creative item such as the Foie Gras & Scallop Sushi. However, the pricing was kinda steep (we spent close to $100 for 3 items), even the hot ocha cost $4 per pax.

Guess I will probably save the place for treats on special days. Not to forget if you are seated near to the windows, you will get a good view of the Singapore River as well. =)

It was my fren's birthday, so we went to Holland Village to try out Gyu Kaku. From the outside, it sure looks like a expensive dining place, and it is "proven" so by browsing the menu... haha...

Nevertheless, we still gonna try it. Birthday celebration is the occasion when we can have the excuse to spend on expensive food without feeling gulity! ^_^Wagyu Platter 450g - $99

- Wagyu Oyster Blade 150g
- Wagyu Ribeye 150g
-Wagyu Rump Cap 150g

It seems that Wagyu beef is their speciality, so logically, we ordered the Wagyu beef. I dunno the difference between the different parts, they all looked the same to me lah.... Oh ya, I went to the Body Show and was told that ribeye is literally the area around the eye area.

Btw, the platter was a promotional item then, so the normal price is higher hor... Please dun get "heart attack" when you decide to patron the place... =pPerfect cooking by the boys...

The beef was yummy! I loved it with that little portion of animal fats, which acted like the lubricant to slide the meat down the throat... The meat was unbelievable tender, with that juice oh so rich..Assorted Mushroom - $8.50

We ordered mushroom as well, which was nicely simmered in the buttered alumimium foil. Too bad they dun have the abalone mushroom or the white mushroom.. if not, it would be more perfect.. Haha, personal preference. Gyu Kaku Pork Plate - $59

Cheaper alternative to the beef, but we kinda "depised" it though. Who want pork when the beef is there?

I went on a Saturday noon without any reservation, thinking that who will wake up on a Saturday morning and go all the way to town to have lunch? Well, I was the exception since I wanted to make use of the voucher...

Alas, a couple was holding their ROM/wedding there so we cant have nice pictures of the tall velvet chair etc. We were told that we can order food from My Humble House menu while seated at Space ( beside My Humble House), so bo pian lor, we got to settle for a much simpler and less elaborated setting.. -_ ~~Crispy Tiger Prawn Glazed with Citrus Cream on Grape Salsa - $14

One of my favorite definitely! I love the crispiness on the outside, and spongy texture on the inside. A pity that the serving was so little... Just one for each. Steamed Fillet of Ocean Cod - $10

This was originally served with rice wine and red chilli sauce. We explained to the staff that we dun take spicy food and he helped us to change to mushroom and truffle sauce, no additional charge! The cod fish and the sauce complement each other ~ Sweetness.. Loved it! Crispy Spiced Kurobata Pork Ribs in Sun-dried Tomanto Reduction - $14

I remembered having similiar dish at my fren's ROM at Humble House, so it was a must to order for me. It tasted like spared pork ribs served in a western manner ~ fusion indeed. Again, we had no complains for this dish... Double Boiled Seafood Consomme in Young Coconut

This was fantastic! The soup was filled with goodies like scallops, prawns, mushrooms etc, and it was concentrated sweetness.. And there was still young coconut meat, which remained soft and tender. Must try, if you adore soups..Wild Berries Lemongrass Gelo with Lime Sorbet - $8

This was basically ice jelly. Refreshing, a nice touch to wrap up our sumptuous lunch!

******

The portion are all meant for 1 pax. We ordered more variety to share, rather than have the same dish served in 2 portions. I think that is probably more econmical, looking at the price range. But since we had the voucher, so we boldly made our order! Keke

I loved most of my orders in terms of taste and presentation. It was really a work of art, with a hefty price though... I will definitely come again, at least to have the soup and the prawn, just to satisfy a little craving.. =p

Freshly baked egg tarts - A box of 6 for $7.50 ( 1 pc @ $1.30)I loved it! The egg tart was better than the KFC chicken. The crust was soft and flaky. The custard was like tofu, so soft! It totally melt in the mouth. Quick, go and try it if you havent try it!

Impt note: Eat it while it's hot!

Shiromaru Tamago - $17

The original receipe tonkotsu served with thin noddles, Ros chashu (Pork Loin), cabbage, kikurage & Spring onion
( $15 if without the flavoured egg)

This was ordered by my bf. Since I only tried a few mouthful, I shall not comment too much. Overall, I think it was good, even though I prefered my choice - Seasonal Ramen. ^_^The ramen were all served in big bowls, so the price is really worthwhile. We were really full after finishing the ramen plus the soup lor.. And definitely satisfactory.Seasonal Ramen ~ Kyusyu Miso Tonkutsu - $17

Ippudo original pork broth with blended miso, mild in taste. Cabbage, japanese leek, spring onion, pork belly, pork loin, flavoured half egg

This was recommended by a friend who I bumped into at Mardarin Gallery. She just finished her meal at Ippudo and recommended me to try the seasonal ramen.

Frankly speaking, I'm not too sure what it means by "Seasonal Ramen"...

~ Is it seasonal as in the period, i.e. you probably get different ramen variety at different period, depending what ingredient is available in the season?

~ Or it's just a name for that particular ramen?

Hmm... dunno leh....*Shaked head vigourously*

The soup base was much sweeter than the other ramen that I had tried before. I loved it so much, I finished every single drop!

The noodles was springy, cooked to perfection. As for the egg, I think Marutama's still hold the crown.On the right: Rare Cheese Cake
On the left: Cherry Blossom Ice

Well, even though we were really full, there was always space for desserts!

The desserts variety is not a lot, but we decided to order for the more unique ones, based on the names.

The cheese cake was not the typical Amercian rich cheese style, nor the Japanese fluffy sponge type. Instead, it was very light and tasted almost like tofu, just that it was sweet. The cherry blossom icecream was refreshing, tasted a bit like strawberry ice-cream.
