Tsukumen OK Jan 30, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Ramen

When an outlet opened at Westgate, I decided to try it out since I have heard quite good reviews about it and I am eager to taste it for myself if it is really that good. I decide to try the more uncommon ramen, the Tsukumen or dipping ramen. There are three different soups, I chose the red which is the spicy soup. The noodles at Menya Musashi are very thick, almost like udon noodles. Personally, I dislike thick noodles so I would have liked it if they had different noodle variants for customers to choose from. That said, as the soup or dipping sauce is thick and flavourful, it is complementary to the thick noodles as the flavour and taste is just right when I dip some of the strands into the dip. If you want a stronger taste, you can dip the entire strand of noodles into the dip. The red sauce is actually not spicy in my opinion, though it is flavourful and tasty. However, it is quite disappointing since I am a fan of spicy food and I was expecting it to be spicy since there are two other soups which are non-spicy. In all, I found Menya Musashi is not really my kind of ramen place because of the thick noodles. Also, I felt a little let down by the red soup. I will probably try out other ramen places next time.

Mediocre food Cry Jan 29, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

 

 
When Sushi Express just opened, I went there for dinner since there is a very attractive promotion of $1 per sushi plate. I went on the first day of its operations and the queue is really long as expected. As I had anticipated that, I went early at 5:50pm and the two of us managed to get seated in around 20 minutes. To tell the truth, I was sorely disappointed. Everything is self-service and the sushis are all there on the conveyor belt. As there are too many people, the plates of sushi that we are looking out for are always taken away by other patrons before it reaches us. In the end, we had to just get up and walk over to where the chef was so that we can take the unagi sushi once the chef placed it on the belt. That aside, the food is mediocre. I guess being the first day of operations, perhaps the quality of the food is affected. The raw sushi are not fresh and it has a little fishy taste to it. The raw sushi is not cold but at room temperature which spoils it for me since sashimi is supposed to be cold. In addition, the cuts are thin and there is simply not satisfying. Of course, I can’t complain too much since it costs only $1, but I would spend $10 more and enjoy fresh and normal cuts of raw sushi.

yummy egg rice Smile Jan 29, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese

 
I happened to chance by this restaurant and saw a huge signboard advertising this as the no.1 gyoza specialist in Japan. I was attracted by the signboard and decide to have my lunch with my colleagues there. I ordered the Fuwatoro Chicken Tenshin Han and gyoza set, which comes with 6 pieces of gyoza. The dish looks like a very large egg dome as seen. The taste however, is really great. The egg is very fluffy and moist and airy and it is really flavourful. The rice hidden inside the egg is also tasty as the broth is quite rich and the rice had soaked up the flavours of the broth easily. The egg is really the star as it is just so tasty, unknowingly, I ate everything up in no time. It is actually very filling as there is a lot of rice, and I left some of the rice untouched because I still had the gyoza. To me, I felt the gyoza was just normal though. If I were to come back, it would definitely be for the fluffy egg rice!

Sweet treat Smile Jan 25, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Ice Cream and Gelato

After my dinner at the kopitiam, I still had some room for desserts and Gelateria Italia it is for my dessert! Since there are three of us, we decide to just order a large size which allows us to choose three scoops of ice cream in total. The large cup costs $9.90. There are a lot of flavours available and the lovely thing about this stall is that we can view all the different ice creams available in the counter in front of us. We are also allowed to sample flavours which we are interested in. In the end, we ordered the Pistachio which is one of their best sellers, the Passion fruit sorbet and the Rum flavour. The Pistachio flavour seems to be an acquired taste, for me, few bites are ok, but any more than that, I will feel that it isn’t that nice anymore. However, my other two friends loved it. The taste is quite nutty. I think I still prefer my pistachios to taste salty than sweet. The Passion fruit sorbet is on the sourish sweet side as all sorbets are and do note that there are bits of seed(?) that is naturally present in the fruit in the sorbet. The seeds are bitter so it is quite a hassle eating it if you want to not eat the seeds. Overall, I like the rum best, though it is not very strong on alcoholic taste. For $9.90, the price is a little on the expensive side but shared among three, it is worth it since you get to try three different scoop flavours.

Yong Tau Foo  Smile Jan 25, 2014

Yong Tau Foo

Yong Tau Foo

 
I went to the Kopitiam at Centrepoint for my dinner after my shopping. I ordered from the yong tau foo stall as it is a much healthier choice. I got the mandatory six items and a bowl of rice which costs $4.20 (60cents for each item and 60cents for the rice). I got egg, dried beancurd, ladyfinger, enoki mushrooms and a double serving of bittergourd. I requested for my yong tau foo to be dry so that I could mix the chilli and the sweet sauce into the yong tau foo items easily. The yong tau foo is quite normal as the taste is similar to what you can get at other yong tau foo stalls since the fish paste tsate generic. However, I really loved their chilli as it is quite spicy and savoury. Mixing it with the sweet sauce gives a sweet, spicy and salty taste which is delicious with the non-fried items.
