Sushi Bar Smile Sep 10, 2010

Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Sushi/Sashimi | Kids-Friendly


This time I decided to try their sushi bar.

With a price range of S$1.99(colored plates) to S$3.99(pink plates) to S$5.99(red plates), I was overwhelmed with their variety.

First, I had the Kani Salad Sushi(S$1.99). Not as fresh and cold as I was expecting but the topping is overwhelming.

Next was Fried Hotate(S$1.99). This is excellent as it was served hot. The layer of fish fillet goes well with the usual mayo topping.

The Lobster Salad Combo(S$3.99) is great! It has salad, lobster strips, lobster roes all wrap with the egg skin. Think it is worth the price.
I will return with more photos and reviews

Great Set Meals Smile Sep 05, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Seafood | Roasted Meat


Imagine S$38 for two pax with 4 dishes.
And all of them comes in generous portions, leaving us thinking that the set meal is good for 3 pax instead.

For S$38, you will get

1) Two bowls of rice
2) Herb duck
3) Baby Kai Lan
4) Mongolian Pork Ribs
5) Lotus Soup

Other than the all time fave Herb Duck, the Mongolian Porks Ribs is also very unique. A little peppery and spicy, the crispy ribs is very appetizing.

The Baby Kai Lan has a very distinct soury taste and goes wwell with the white rice.

The Lotus Soup comes with ribs inside and it is very tasty. You can really feel the nutrients inside the soup. You'll know that the soup has been boiled for long period of time.

However, we ended up paying much more for a small plate of peanuts(S$2) and wet towl(S$0.30) and Chinese Tea(S$1.50). I recommend rejecting the peanuts and just stick to plain water.

Good expensive chips Smile Sep 04, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese


One of the best chips I have ever tasted!
The Royce Chocolate Potato Chip is filled with high quality chips with a layer of white premium chocolate.

It is a delightful mix of salty and sweet taste !
As the layer of choclate is only on one side, as you bite the chips you will taste the salty side of the chips, followed by the sweet chocolate after-taste. Excellent!

However, it is definitely expensive S$15.

Good Jap Food Smile Sep 04, 2010   (Related Review)
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Ramen


Back with more reviews and photos. This time I will review the Baby Jellyfish and Scallops from the Japanese Buffet.

The Baby Jellyfish comes in a small portion in a bowl and it takes great pleasure to suck them out from the bowl at one go. It is soft and raw. The jellyfish ooz out the juice and taste within the mouth when you chew them. Definitely not for those who is not into raw cuisines.

The Scallop is fresh and cremey. Not those cremey that makes you sick of out but with a soft taste just enough to enhance the freshness of the scallops. I will still go for it even if it is raw without any cream. =)

Good Pralet cake Smile Sep 02, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Fusion | Bakery | Café | Desserts and Cakes | Brunch

Wifey loves signature Pralet cake here so we always come here just for that. Good to try if it's your first time to Caffé Pralet. chopstick You will definitely enjoyed the slight crunch of the hazelnut praline base. She went gaga over the block of solid chocolate moose that is rich yet surprisingly light and smooth. shocked

Main courses such as the The Bacon and Avocado Panini is pretty good. Healthy, light, generous filings. Only grouses are that this cosy cafe gets too cramp sometimes when there is a sudden influx of hungry people, not enough parking areas and service was a bit slow.
