Being my favourite casual dining restaurant to go on a simple date, Bangkok Jam always have something great to offer despite its limited menu. Came to the outlet at Plaza Singapura on a weekday night, almost all the tables were occupied but luckily, we were directed to this corner table for 2. Space may be a little limited and we could easily hear the other tables' conversations, but it was manageable. Decided to skip the usual curries that we love to try something different! Got their Chicken Phad Thai ($11.50) with the original stick noodle. The dish was sumptuous, very flavourful despite its simple laid-back presentation. They weren't very generous with the chicken meat but for the taste, it was worth its price. I also got their Grilled Chicken with Thai Herbs - Half ($15.90), this item was under the "sides and mains" section and I thought that this would be a main course on its own since its ultimately a half grilled chicken, but no it came like this without any side dishes. And since service was very slow I didn't bother wasting time to get the rice. As usual, my buddy got himself the Red Ruby with Coconut Icecream ($7.50) because it's always been his favourite. Its a simple yet comforting dessert on any occasion. We also gave their Mango Sticky Rice ($8.90) a try. We love everything about it! The warm sticky rice and cold fresh mango flesh topped with sweet but not overpowering sauce were really great combination! Really worthy to be one of my best Asian desserts. Overall, I really love the food as well as the interesting city-inspired ambience. However, I wasn't impressed with the service at all. Firstly, we asked for 2 cups of ice water when we were ordering, the waitress nodded but did not open her mouth. Secondly, not only did the waitress not repeat our orders, she had forgotten about our ice water even after 2 dishes arrived. Thirdly, it was more than difficult and frustrating to get any staff's attention and when we finally managed, the attitude given were worst than standard. Fourthly, other customers who came later than us were served with their table of food before we even got our first dish.

I have written over 120 reviews on Openrice and never did once I complained much about the service. So it really shows that I'm pretty upset over the service served here despite my love for their food. I may still return to the other outlets but no way am I coming back to this particular outlet anymore (not till the day I see the change in their waitstaff).

Been hanging out a lot at Junction 8 recently but there's always somewhere good to get some good food! 

The Chocolate with Nata de Coco ($4.20) shaved iced from Dessert Story is a great dessert to have other you had your hearty meal from elsewhere! Saw the staff shaving the frozen chocolate ice and it was an amazing sight. The nata de coco complements the chocolate flavour well but I would love it more if it were other fruits or something. But nevertheless! This place is always great for dessert! 

I couldn't resist standing myself behind the queue of 10+ people when I was wandering around looking for dinner on a weekday night. I've been eating ramen a lot lately. The last time I came here was like 2 months ago and I believe that I really miss their broth! 

Got their White Chashu Ramen ($12.90) again, the white description actually meant the broth, not the Chashu. The broth is thick and rich and every sip was satisfying! Love their Chashu a lot too! & Compared to many other ramen place, I love their egg the most because they somehow seasoned it differently than the rest. Service may not be great because of the brisk business but do visit their outlet at Bugis and give their signature ramen a try! You won't regret it.

It seems that I'm craving for ramen like 90% of the time. This time I went to Ajisen Ramen at Junction 8 because the outlet here seems to be more peaceful than elsewhere. Got their ramen sets which came with the drinks, where are pretty much standard. My buddy got himself the Chicken Teriyaki Ramen Set ($13.90) for which he picked the fried cuttlefish as his side dish. This ramen is dry but the teriyaki sauce tasted delicious, not too salty but did gave the firm springy ramen a finishing edge. The rest tasted not bad either. I got myself the Kumamoto Ramen Set ($14.90) which I selected the California maki as my side. This ramen is one of ther best since Ajisen was founded in Kumamoto in the first place. The soup was flavourful on its own. The California maki may need improvement on it's very miniature size but other than that, everything was good! Compared to many other ramen restaurants out there, Ajisen serve thicker noodles than usual which is one of the things I like. Besides, it's convenience and casual setting always make me going back during the times when I don't want to try anything new. A perfect place for family casual dinner, great for all ages!

There's always something special about Japanese yakitori that makes me happy. So I'm glad that there's a Tori-Q place around almost every corner. 

Ordered their Bento Set A ($5.80) which comes with 2 chicken, 1 pork and 1 chicken ball stick. I love the seasoning they use for their grilled meat and everything goes especially well when it's accompanied with soft seasoned Japanese rice, seaweed and pickles that I like. Makes a great comfort food for me anytime!
