Every time I'm at Marche, I would definitely order their Swiss Rosti, which is consistently good. The grated potatoes are slightly firm and not mushy, and the top layer is always nice and crisp. With a sprinkling of salt , this dish is simple but it never fails


We also got the Parma Ham Pizza which was quite good too, consisting of parma ham, sliced tomatoes, arugula & cheese. I liked that the parma ham wasn't too salty but thought that they could have given more arugula. The amount of leaves given was a little pathetic for me.


I always try to have some vegetables in every meal so I got the Mixed Vegetables. Basically, you choose the size you want (I got the smallest bowl) and you just fill it up with whatever vegetables you want. I filled my bowl up with some grilled whole mushrooms, broccoli, red cabbage slaw and sliced zucchini & peppers. There were other choices like brussel sprouts, pasta salad etc which I didn't take. What I love about this is that you can mix and match what you like from a wide variety of yummy vegetables.

Got myself the Grilled Saba Lunch Set ($16) which includes all that you see in the picture above. I loved the moist pearl rice and the fresh, juicy and sweet watermelon slices, but what I loved the most was the super moist and juicy saba!! Seriously, it was soooo juicy it was such a joy to eat it. What's more, the skin was grilled till it was really crisp, so the combination of crisp fish skin and really moist saba meat was simply AWESOME. What a shiok and satisfying meal

I got the Mixed Beef Noodles, which had chunky beef, beef tendon, beef balls and beef stomach. Everything was really nice and flavourful as all the flavour of the gravy had gone into the meat. You could tell that the different beef parts have been well-marinated and cooked for very long in the gravy which was just right - not too thick nor watery. The thick rice noodles were coated in the smooth gravy so you'd be sure that every mouthful you get would be really tasty

It was a really late lunch hence I wanted something light (and healthy) if not I would be too full to have dinner. Got myself the sashimi salad and I requested to have only salmon for the sashimi. As you can see from the picture, the serving of salmon sashimi is really generous. The dressing was also nice and tangy, it made the salad really refreshing. On the whole the sashimi salad is quite good, only thing is I didn't like the kind of vegetables they used for the salad, which was slightly dry and bitter.

Decided to try their Black Pig Shabu Shabu Ramen this time as it seemed to be their specialty. I actually prefer shabu shabu pork slices than the normal cha shu you find in most ramen, so I actually enjoyed this ramen alot! The soup was also creamy and rich but without making you feel jelat.


Many Japanese restaurants offer this dish and I've always wanted to order it, and I finally did this time at Tampopo. The squid was firm and slightly chewy, I really liked the texture and it was a joy to eat It was just lightly brushed with teriyaki sauce so you could still taste the sweetness of the squid itself, very yummy
