Visited Golden Shoe Food Centre for lunch today. As usual, expect dirty tables, long waiting time for tables as well as long queues. And lastly, perspiring after your meal! Since it was a rainy day and the weather wasn't too warm, I decided to go for fish soup. Bought Ee-mian (a brown type of noodle) fish slices soup, which cost $4. The queue wasn't too long since we went before 12pm, which is the peak hour. The fish slices are fresh but thin, as expected. There were no more than 5 slices of fish! Perhaps I had expected too much. The soup was a little too salty for my liking. An overall average experience.

Visited the korean restaurant at Heartlands Mall in Kovan. Have always walked past it during weekends lunch and dinner time and always saw long queues outside the restaurant. Decided to try it for myself today. The restaurant itself is quite small with what seened like less than 20 tables. Ordered Spicy Grilled Mackerel, Korean Ginseng Soup and Korean pancake. The mackerel turned out to be spicier than i thought! The fish meat itself was not too dry and has a nice flavour to it. The korean ginseng soup was delicious. It was thick and felt as though it has been boiled together with many ingredients. The pancakes were the best! Mildy spicy, it jas kimchi flavour in it and the texture is perfect, not too hard to bite or soggy. Addictive! They serve complimentary rice barley water too. Overall, not too bad but a tad pricey!

Chose Dallas along the Singapore river. It was really empty on a Sunday night! Perhaps due to it being a non working day - No office workers staying back for drinks! We sat near to the river outdoors and it had a weird smell from the river. we then shifted places away from the river. Ordered Roast Chicken and Penne Pasta. The serving size was good. The pasta had a little spices and was aglio olio style. It came with shreded chicken meat. Initially i thought that it would be a chicken patty! My friend ordered duck confit but it was not filling. The meat was not too dry and was average. A little pricey though. Service staff were not too friendly as well.

Ordered the Daikokuya Ramen and Spicy Miso Ramen. Like all good ramen, the soup is thick and flavourful. The Daikokuya ramen tasted saltier than the Spicy miso ramen in my opinion. Using tonkotsu pork base, the ramen is firm in texture and comes with kirobuta pork belly, marinated boiled egg and other garnishes like leek and spring onions. The pork is tough to bite. The spicy miso soup tastes appetising and not too spicy. You can choose to add more egg or garnishes at additional cost. The restaurant is small and comfortable. Waiting time for food took not more than 15 minutes.

Visited 一家村 for lunch today and ordered the lotus root pork rib soup, together with a bowl of rice. Would have preferred the bowl of soup to be larger than the rice! Nothing too special. The pork ribs meat was a little dry while the lotus roots a little too hard for my liking. The soup was flavourful since they have boiled it for hours. But towards the end it got saltier. You could find peanuts in the soup too. Nothing spectacular but not too bad either for a soup lover like me. It cost $5, which is common in the CBD area too.
