Was craving for their Niku Udon (beef udon) which is one of my favs at Sushi Tei, so I decided to head there for lunch to satisfy my craving.


What I love about this dish is the generous amount of beef and how tender the meat is. The udon is also soft and chewy. Combined with the soup and seaweed, this is really comfort food for me However the soup this time round was a lot cloudier and oilier than normal, which is very strange because I've ordered this dish many times and the soup is always very clear. Not sure what happened today...however the taste of the soup was still equally good.


Was feeling peckish so I also ordered some sushi for myself - Ebiko Avocado Maki. I wished there was more ebiko (flying fish roe) but I was still very satisfied with this maki. I really loved the soft creamy avocado within...makes me want to have more of it right now!

I don't think the food at Sushi Tei is all yummy but I definitely love the 2 dishes I ordered today and they have been consistently good too.

I've never really liked the tartar sauce they use for filet-o-fish and sometimes I'll put in a special request for them to exclude it. When I heard that they now have nacho cheese filet-o-fish as a permanent item on the menu, I was so happy!


Even though the nacho cheese seems very little in the picture, the portion was ok for me (of course if there's more it'd be better!) I really think that the pairing of nacho cheese with fish filet is perfect and also wonder what took them so long to combine these two together? Anyway, it's definitely gonna be only nacho cheese filet-o-fish for me from now on!

This is a unique offering by Yoshimaru - I've not seen the use of yuzu in other restaurants' ramen before. There was a slight spiciness in the soup and the taste of yuzu was just right - not too strong nor subtle. At first I thought the taste of yuzu in a hot savoury soup was quite strange, but the more I drank it the more I liked it. For those who like yuzu, think you guys should give it a try!

I needed to get something for tea break and this cafe was really near The Chop House where I had my lunch, so I decided to see if there's anything I could get from here.

I was looking for something light and savoury and this was the best choice I had. I felt that their croissant was just average, nothing special at all. On its own, I found myself struggling to finish it. Portion-wise it was pretty big though. Don't think I'll be getting this in the future again.

I'm really picky when it comes to ramen because I find that most soup bases are too thick for my liking hence it gets jelat very quickly for me. That's why I like Tampopo's pork & seafood soup base. I find that the seafood helps to lighten the taste hence I don't get sick of the soup. I actually drank most of it whereas at other restaurants I usually find that I've to force myself to finish the food because of how jelat they make me feel. The ramen was also good - springy and didn't taste starchy. I also added an egg (not shown in the pic) and they seem to be consistent in churning out yummy Japanese ramen eggs! The egg was well marinated and the yolk was the perfect semi-solid golden orange.


Honestly I can't taste the difference between normal pig and black pig haha, but anyhow the gyozas were pretty good! I thought it looked a little small but it turned out to be ok. The filling was nice and juicy and the skin was thin so it didn't taste super starchy. However I would have preferred if the base was pan-fried till it's crispier.
