I am never much of a curry fan. But my friend, who is an avid fan of all types of curry, strongly recommends the place. So yeah I therefore gave it a try since many said curry, minus the coconut milk haha, has the beneficial effect of boosting immunity and anti-inflammatory property.

The decorations of the place are pretty Chinese-ish with crockeries of the olden days and red Chinese paintings. This new outlet seems to be relocated from the old curry place in Marina South food court in the past. However many said the place is actually not related at all. Not having tried the original version in the past, it is hard to determine if this place is just an imitation.Anyway, this curry-themed restaurant has more than just curry dishes to offer. It is famous for their fish head curry which is very huge in portion. We ordered the buddy meal which comprises a pot of curry chicken and a pot of curry vegetables with two rice and two barley drinks. It is pretty reasonable as it all added up only to $13. I didn't want to try their signature as it would be too much then for two persons.

The curry gravy was smooth in texture and the spiciness was still acceptable. However, I used to eat the yellowish kind of curry while the version here looked reddish like The Masala. Overall the place was quite generous with the portion of meat, vegetables and toupok in the curry. It definitely would appeal much to my curry fan friend haha.. but hmm not me and also to those who would actually prefer the usual yellowish curry gravy

Well I shall just jump straight to the conclusion that the place might be just our commonplace coffee shop but the food was really good and most importantly reasonably-priced!

Perhaps it would not be such an ideal place to chill out but I would think one could have their mains here and then chill out at the cafes nearby such as Just Want Coffee. It is a good idea if one were to be on a tight budget haha

Ordered the Cajun Fish with rice ($6 I think) and the Spicy Prawn Aglio-Olio plus a Cold Tofu and Goma sauce ($3.50) to share. The Fish was soft yet remained chunky and complimented nicely with the mango salsa sauce. The pasta was not too bad especially the prawns that were all succulent. Bean-curd served chilled with sesame sauce can never go wrong as always.There are a wide varieties to choose from and the price is reasonable though being slightly steep compared to coffee shop food fare. But I would say it is value for money considering the satisfactory quality of the food

Hunting for Korean food around Orchard? There are Sarang and Nolboo in Orchard Central but I would recommend Togi as the best option out of all hehe

Relatively new to the district, Togi's mother branch in Chinatown has been around for quite some time and is known as one of the best restaurants for Korean food.

Visiting this new branch for the first time, I had a great dining experience just as similarly in the Togi in Chinatown BUT minus the crowd and less attentive service. To state it more clearly, the Togi here in Somerset has really good service with really friendly staff, I mean really indeed ^^

Apart from good attentive service, food did not disappoint either. The Glass Noodle and Beef ($12) was a good appetizing mix as starter. Ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap and Ginseng Chicken soup. The Bibimbap was alright but missing the hot stone pot taste sadly as the hot pot was not hot enough most probably. The whole chicken in the soup was tender enough but the soup was actually lacking of the ginseng smack. I remember there used to be ginseng accompanied along in the soup but there wasn't any then. Probably it was removed before being served. Food-wise, besides the Beef Glass-noodles, the another highlight would be the side dishes which comprised my favorite mushrooms. In fact, I don't remember having mushrooms as one of the side dishes in all the Korean restaurants I have been to. I love mushrooms so certainly it was a delight ^^Good service, food was not too bad with just some slight misses but reasonably-priced a Yeah head on down if you have some Korean cravings ;)

Itching for my Ramen fix again, I am glad there is a Marutama outlet here in Somerset. It came as my second alternative considering the long queue at Santouka at Cuppage nearby. Yeah it did not disappoint indeed.

Ordered the Green Spicy Ramen with add-on topping Tamago ($13.50) while my friend had the CurrySteak with rice ($19) plus an additional side dish of Agadeshi Tofu. I felt more than satisfied after finishing my bowl of hot ramen ^^ Noodles was alright, nothing extraordinary. But I like the broth, flavorful sweet with a tinge of spiciness making the soup even more palatable Tamago was the highlight too, very nicely done with a sizeable runny-semisolid yolk ^^ The slice of pork was nothing extraordinary, not as tender as I would hope forOne can give the Agadeshi Tofu a miss, it was a tad too expensive in fact >< The Curry Steak was not too bad if you looking for something more filling.

Situated along Kiliney road, the area was pretty quiet at night, even during the weekends

This Ramen place has been much raved about and yeah it surely lives up to one's expectations.

Firstly, the chicken-based broth appealed to me as I do think it is a healthier choice than the usual pork broth (which tends to be saltier). And awww the chicken drumstick! I dislike pork as it usually comes with bits and pieces of fats around the meat but yeah I enjoyed my tender chicken drumstick with no hidden fats (well yeah unless you eat the skin as well) The tamago was nicely done, noodles texture was just right but actually one can choose the noodle texture when ordering, either being hard, normal or soft. Besides that, one can also select the amount of chicken oil preferred, so another thumbs up from a health-conscious person like me hehe

One can enjoy free flow hard-boiled eggs as well as cold marinated bean-sprouts. I love vegetables generally so it again appealed to me much that I can eat as much bean sprouts as I like haha. Furthermore, each table would have individual jar of bean sprouts so no need feel paiseh haha (unlike in Korean restaurants where one gotta ask for refill)

This is definitely a place I would return to for my Ramen fix (and bean-sprouts too haha)!! ^^ There are only three flavours available, original, green spicy or black spicy. So minus the headache of deciding from a long list of choices haha. I think original is the best but green spicy with a additional tad of wasabi taste is not bad too.

Head down and get ready and slurp slurp ^^
