Mild isn't spicy at all and spicy doesn't had the same kick level as the crispy chicken in KFC. Never the less, I prefer Poeye's mild chicken when compared to KFC. Firstly, the chicken not clobbered with thick layers of flour and the occasional fats which can still detect in the KFC. Secondly, though I like original recipe I find it a bit too salty at times, especially after one too many.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RVnkaoeGt10FU1r_zjmTf7Df-0OLJJ2jnSJGYk-ksAIx_-J4wauEM7jfhOQgfOvTDTt9uZVusLm3DbBStud_ASCqCYVmiEYbmUdAys5MWmP4JTIt6F1V7abpPQr6lufH3nR25UeMRZ01/s1600-h/IMG_2099.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2RVnkaoeGt10FU1r_zjmTf7Df-0OLJJ2jnSJGYk-ksAIx_-J4wauEM7jfhOQgfOvTDTt9uZVusLm3DbBStud_ASCqCYVmiEYbmUdAys5MWmP4JTIt6F1V7abpPQr6lufH3nR25UeMRZ01/s400/IMG_2099.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424010889941771266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhopHWi2ZETBhl5uWci8wIdolN7QkRJPIFOgusEOpUi8NGEAA7cM9Z5Q__PZ3XFxfzA3oXrO9ekYQgMdZphyphenhyphenl-tC5P1PrfUXEAg9o7LTJcz1SeB1LxUeWpBHI30WkX7p-dL6F1-QpM596xW/s1600-h/IMG_2101.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhopHWi2ZETBhl5uWci8wIdolN7QkRJPIFOgusEOpUi8NGEAA7cM9Z5Q__PZ3XFxfzA3oXrO9ekYQgMdZphyphenhyphenl-tC5P1PrfUXEAg9o7LTJcz1SeB1LxUeWpBHI30WkX7p-dL6F1-QpM596xW/s400/IMG_2101.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424009167564121522" border="0" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mash and Biscuits</span><br />Even though Popeyes market themselves as "Chicken & Biscuits", what really shines its their mash. Its extremely smooth and has the consistency of custard, only that its savoury. The sauce over the mash is tasty and has bits of chicken and herbs within. It can be a bit salty, so don't wolf down the whole lot, but slowly savour it. The biscuit is crumbly and reminds me of corn bread, with a flaky interior. I feel that since its a bit savoury instead of sweet, the best way to eat it is to dip a bit of the sauce and consume instead of the jam that is provided.<br /></div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLXgTnosWXrV_PvINPQl02iS6YVNXiMIqd4Eh6kc57z22oso0NfAMPh6zdwdjdtNmcbExnP1HqFgReQehDxEz1L_KTSVEZjgTs9iy-qRCA5qF1-jFEbKdFHONdHhOLDxftWrCnkL7prAp/s1600-h/IMG_2262.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLXgTnosWXrV_PvINPQl02iS6YVNXiMIqd4Eh6kc57z22oso0NfAMPh6zdwdjdtNmcbExnP1HqFgReQehDxEz1L_KTSVEZjgTs9iy-qRCA5qF1-jFEbKdFHONdHhOLDxftWrCnkL7prAp/s400/IMG_2262.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424009157026302018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoMza_KJcLtluddUvcdZ7ArxqoFJAFCrKWXvCTtNT1IR2iF0voi17lfkXxIr8ly50ZUrFXqhTjPP5iGRADqMciRSIl6yeAznDHaVV978_IvareHtF3fjc96gYK1kDeaakPvPz5z_3vnPdz/s1600-h/IMG_2265.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoMza_KJcLtluddUvcdZ7ArxqoFJAFCrKWXvCTtNT1IR2iF0voi17lfkXxIr8ly50ZUrFXqhTjPP5iGRADqMciRSIl6yeAznDHaVV978_IvareHtF3fjc96gYK1kDeaakPvPz5z_3vnPdz/s400/IMG_2265.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424009150280065778" border="0" /></a><br />I couldn't resist while I was passing by another day and got the large mash potatoes.

Unfortunately, you can only choose one of of the whole array of assorted flavors which makes it rather disappointing. I went with the Garlic Aioli which is surprising better than the normal mayo or Tatar sauce that is commonly served. Its slightly similar to mayo, but with a bit spicy and garlic tangy in it.

Each mouthful is a juicy meat is drowsed with homemade barbecue sauce that engulfs all senses. The slaw on top seems to be a mix of onions and skinless tomatoes which has a sweet and tangy vinegar slight sour, compliments the heavy and robust barbecue sauce. Striking a balance between sweet and savory. All these sits on a bed of coral lettuce, tomato and toasted rustic bun.

Thus you don't see the presents of it in french cuisines. Asking for it would invite stares and a slap across the face. Interesting the people in Handburger beg to differ from tradition and includes this fusion burger into their menu. This is also one of the more raved burgers in Handburger.<br /><br />No wonder praises of this are sang. The duck is tender and moist. The meat simply flakes off when cut into, shows a slight pretty pink. No pungent duck smell could be detected. Instead the pairing of the mandarin oranges bring this dish is a even new high. The impossible natural sweet of the thin wedges of oranges preach on the boneless duck leg confit makes prefect bliss that words can describe. The mix of baby snow pea sprouts and coral lettuce add texture and the much welcome of green. All sits on a toasted caramelized onion bun. Only difference between this and the original duck leg confit is that the skin here is limpy instead of the crispy texture that one would expect. Though this is a small trade off of a wonderful gastronomic burger. If there are 5 stars I would give a 7. Highly recommended.<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I noticed that different burger buns are selected based on the respective ingredients that goes into making the burger.

This is rather interesting. The milk tea is server in a vase which has a hollowed centre punctured into the glass. This cavity is filled with dried ice which chills the drink. Though well presented it does pose some negative points. Firstly, the serving cups are really small, more like shot glasses instead making it a bit tedious and tiresome to constantly pouring the next glass. Secondly, though the jug seems big. You are getting a lesser than what you expect due to the hollow cavity for placing the dried ice. Thirdly, I can be a pain to pour drink, especially toward the end. As it is impossible to no spill the water (originally hot water)from the dry ice into your drink, while pour the bit of remaining milk tea as the base of the vase. Seems rather wasteful to me.<br /><br />Despite these, I would still recommend this drink. As taste wise its rather superior compared to other milk teas I've drank thus far. Its aromatic and milky, but yet not overly creamy that one can't enjoy the tea fragrant.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq0Cq4TwL0q22MxdNlWIhXwMDM_BJ8Wqpuwl0RZu_OQ4XN38RtvW_QG_OU2IZZRRAjy4Modv5QOA3tBUMkGPQJYVn0bjX0G-ifYEkx5dVgvMQCEjYJ2qMy4DKHfs2DMLctK17nQRrT5Y_o/s1600-h/IMG_1929.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq0Cq4TwL0q22MxdNlWIhXwMDM_BJ8Wqpuwl0RZu_OQ4XN38RtvW_QG_OU2IZZRRAjy4Modv5QOA3tBUMkGPQJYVn0bjX0G-ifYEkx5dVgvMQCEjYJ2qMy4DKHfs2DMLctK17nQRrT5Y_o/s400/IMG_1929.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423124320617667890" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Red Bean Freeze</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Think Hong Kong version milkshake and you are pretty close to what Red Bean Freeze represents.

Comparing the chicken or seafood option for the topping. Chicken seems more economical and yet more filling to its seafood counterpart. The fried chicken is also very crisp and well done.

But Crystal Jade does have some dishes that are unique to itself, why no give it a try and tell me how you guys think about it.<br /><br />Crystal Jade Hong Kong Cafe (Orchard Central)<br />181 Orchard Road<br />#07-15 Orchard Central<br />Singapore 238896<br />Tel: 6509 3118</span>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-70549552382883430812009-12-24T16:14:00.011+08:002009-12-25T00:21:38.297+08:00Yum Cha Garden<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibFDhfeXHX5oTgqfvtPvonyhOudBMPxflaoVIa60ZCv5LHy6GZwto3jDzrUC1L76xtOm2LpTQw_Of6Utm5mnABGwQ_OEgh-WNRpffY1497Kmh6OrC4uwzs9r32fbaWOpwZN3NW7iylMY5o/s1600-h/IMG_1852.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibFDhfeXHX5oTgqfvtPvonyhOudBMPxflaoVIa60ZCv5LHy6GZwto3jDzrUC1L76xtOm2LpTQw_Of6Utm5mnABGwQ_OEgh-WNRpffY1497Kmh6OrC4uwzs9r32fbaWOpwZN3NW7iylMY5o/s400/IMG_1852.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418716894077887586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJQ5YeH0BfQhLSVqaYw_525vGFtXo1D0eU8LowFhFRbKECK4g1zZD0l5RL9SiLbEmJiJBLvtqGrPcC-n9lv2wWvJLtS2svQAtlClDkgrGr8KWmYUxzEjKe_8nw45rO0GY1XVbm3ekcPR-W/s1600-h/IMG_1855.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJQ5YeH0BfQhLSVqaYw_525vGFtXo1D0eU8LowFhFRbKECK4g1zZD0l5RL9SiLbEmJiJBLvtqGrPcC-n9lv2wWvJLtS2svQAtlClDkgrGr8KWmYUxzEjKe_8nw45rO0GY1XVbm3ekcPR-W/s400/IMG_1855.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418716892712841954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZzqsfa_mB20jHbuhypPFWT5BX-hU8VWp9xa_wzZPz9A2D5tL1r07nnV3-ib5s8r3nB-F9R-D6e_GSFHVJd2pZ4gV3ySSG9cJ_QBhx5lxuO_96s2Dw_nNQSTjOVoKE2Clo2h1QpmjtRQ_/s1600-h/IMG_1856.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZzqsfa_mB20jHbuhypPFWT5BX-hU8VWp9xa_wzZPz9A2D5tL1r07nnV3-ib5s8r3nB-F9R-D6e_GSFHVJd2pZ4gV3ySSG9cJ_QBhx5lxuO_96s2Dw_nNQSTjOVoKE2Clo2h1QpmjtRQ_/s400/IMG_1856.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418716886700967394" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcMaAhW61VhKAy_Pv-IYJ_NqFAMEGV_neJi6kS0qXaz_oDzPd6FZ4Sfx61ike3ho-rPed_CEsrhYSGJWvOoodjF_1OWqMrbG9SeU3DxcB-EhibWQm1tNL3QTW9ty5sIknRFlW1KyX-XJFJ/s1600-h/IMG_1854.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcMaAhW61VhKAy_Pv-IYJ_NqFAMEGV_neJi6kS0qXaz_oDzPd6FZ4Sfx61ike3ho-rPed_CEsrhYSGJWvOoodjF_1OWqMrbG9SeU3DxcB-EhibWQm1tNL3QTW9ty5sIknRFlW1KyX-XJFJ/s400/IMG_1854.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418716876012502450" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Yum Cha is has always been one of the dim sum places that I always wanted to try out.

All meals are prepared by Japanese chefs, who are very passionate about their food. From taste to presentation all are carefully planned to the smallest detail. Surprisingly even their waithering staff are made up of Japanese. Though they may struggle a bit with their command of English, making it "Lost in Translation". They make it up with their polite and prompt service. Too top it all up, the menu items very affordable.

Million times better then those you normally get.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij6fb0FAu4bcQGzxMa-ZRkc7qVdmQShy5Fjm4DH23FyMoHDJ-SSJ7wOLG3MUN-oG88UBt8NbZwnu1i2X4g88AZ2hOLaGmAdfEC2cAwvm-NtJuxFvTT5LO66xZlxHtR7xkXrlz939ouT5DB/s1600-h/IMG_1821.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij6fb0FAu4bcQGzxMa-ZRkc7qVdmQShy5Fjm4DH23FyMoHDJ-SSJ7wOLG3MUN-oG88UBt8NbZwnu1i2X4g88AZ2hOLaGmAdfEC2cAwvm-NtJuxFvTT5LO66xZlxHtR7xkXrlz939ouT5DB/s400/IMG_1821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417315444625116722" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Boiled Spinach Seasoned</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This appetizer is simple yet so good. The spinach is boiled till its soft and sits above a canopy of mushrooms with bits of silverfish on the top. Even though the ingredients are fairly simple, the chefs in Ootoya simple work their magic on these few ingredients. All the concentrated mushroom stock is slurped up by the spinach and the silverfish added additional texture to the dish. Great for elderly, but doesn't give any excuse to deny others trying this dish.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVDpzoehwKu-hLa73aMbTYrJAKvMUOmAZ-oDKujmTTUb30EFXer7AnJBaXBMNVxWC8hbmGa2WC_SiNNhh79lXgxudHT_SjBVQFoA6M_Ggw62AycJYN7mcy9A6DLzx2w4Vr5A1qL0L-eNM/s1600-h/IMG_1820.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVDpzoehwKu-hLa73aMbTYrJAKvMUOmAZ-oDKujmTTUb30EFXer7AnJBaXBMNVxWC8hbmGa2WC_SiNNhh79lXgxudHT_SjBVQFoA6M_Ggw62AycJYN7mcy9A6DLzx2w4Vr5A1qL0L-eNM/s400/IMG_1820.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417314637566538834" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Japanese Rice</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The short gain rice here is well done.

Ootoya is a crowd pleaser, definitely guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face. All the fish is grilled by a Japanese chef from Japan. The flesh is soft and brittle that it comes off the bone easily (partially due to it being an oily fish). Upon placement into your mouth, the smooth and tender meat instantly flakes and envelops your mouth with its smokey taste. Heaven decent on earth. Surprisingly the fish doesn't left an oily aftertaste, shows the skill and dedication on the chef. For those who are afraid of fats, mackerel is an oily fish like salmon and the fats are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid">Omega 3 fatty acids</a>, which instead is good for the heart. Don't be fooled by the pictures in menu, this fish comes huge and is able to feed two. People who dislike whole fish in general should steer clear from this one those, there is a fair amount of bones in this dish. You are however missing out one of the best this place has to offer.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM8kEgf0EyLJHqCzMOtfuuN8UAjN3NO8uzDCu3zyOrBHzbypDSpxsqlHZqBkZMXZPi6H2qY4EmZ2plsy6UZJP7Hkw6oDNhMXxpquXqnimmg3jfwM6qkOOANcxqgYESgz4Aza3r3YMMQ0mb/s1600-h/IMG_1824.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM8kEgf0EyLJHqCzMOtfuuN8UAjN3NO8uzDCu3zyOrBHzbypDSpxsqlHZqBkZMXZPi6H2qY4EmZ2plsy6UZJP7Hkw6oDNhMXxpquXqnimmg3jfwM6qkOOANcxqgYESgz4Aza3r3YMMQ0mb/s400/IMG_1824.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417314620896767090" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Charcoal Grilled Atka Mackerel with Rice Set</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">To complete one's meal, one can choose to upgrade the alacarte items with rice sets.

You can view the chef at work from the tatami seats to kill time while waiting for the food.<br /><br />All of us are satisfy with what Ootoya has to offer. No nonsense authentic Japanese cooking at affordable prices. I do hope to see them expand and yet not. From experience as Japanese restaurants expand they tend to hire other staff and the original staff tends to dwindle. Hopefully, Ootoya stay true to their roots for as long as possible.

I was so spoilt from the large variety of choices right in front of me. They were warm and aromatic when broke into. I couldn't stop eating these, especially with smooth silken butter spreaded on it. Every single bread sends me one step closer to heaven. If these breads were sold in a bakery, I would gladly buy them daily.<br /><br />I must specially mention that there were two dinner bread that I was very fond. Firstly, was the rough grind whole grain mini loaf which was coarse in the exterior and yet very well layer interior and smells of summer and grains when bite into. Secondly, there was this regular bun. However, parting it reveals a tomato texture. I curiously bite into it and was totally blown away. There was a distinct tomato paste flavour kneeded into the dough, the presents of tomato skin where even in the bread. Strong yet not over powering the bread's nature aromas. Very unique and totally ingenious. Best bread every eaten period.</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyv_fuJFAgle9fzbLDBMibtQKS29HmvwxnF2gwfGXEzABF8ZKY417G0Q68lIWa2LW7VcAFwvgNd_KBtTdl9InaF1yJxABbxPc5yKv27UqDQVHPcaoeopSwT1KzV1kEjWJLMG-UAXLIC2cQ/s1600-h/IMG_1664.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyv_fuJFAgle9fzbLDBMibtQKS29HmvwxnF2gwfGXEzABF8ZKY417G0Q68lIWa2LW7VcAFwvgNd_KBtTdl9InaF1yJxABbxPc5yKv27UqDQVHPcaoeopSwT1KzV1kEjWJLMG-UAXLIC2cQ/s400/IMG_1664.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389891648633882386" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Garden Grown Green Salad with Pear, Orange Wedge, Roasted Pine Nut, and Orange Balsamic Dressing</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The salad really brighten up my day.

Seconds anyone?<br /><br />There were serving of coffee/tea and nice warmed biscuit after dessert. Though odd since it was served after dinner, but who's to complain since they was equally top notch as their bread at the start of the dinner.

Not a hint of "muddy" taste detected at all. One can tell that creating this simple dish, isn't all that easy at all.

Each time we come here. This is a must in our order. The spinach infuse beancurd sits on a canopy of extra braised spinach and is sprinkled with mushrooms. The beancurd is so soft that you can practically slurp its rich egg tofu up. Within it is bits of spinach that gives it a great contrast with smooth texture of the beanurd.

I also like it as it is sweeten just slightly, not too sweet that it overpowers the nature aroma of the almond.</span><br /></div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3FhzIjrHmdRBaUxFYXazPa27PtxuQa4QSsNpCIKPyLTQpfO4_LocZPy8lf_DORt7tg9_eEnqmZxFU1wO0qzdILX0iaB3U1Bf42dT0c0lXwwL7QuIFlZ0fnNd9fvVsGMSRyPKuLe3_z4Vf/s1600-h/IMG_1599.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3FhzIjrHmdRBaUxFYXazPa27PtxuQa4QSsNpCIKPyLTQpfO4_LocZPy8lf_DORt7tg9_eEnqmZxFU1wO0qzdILX0iaB3U1Bf42dT0c0lXwwL7QuIFlZ0fnNd9fvVsGMSRyPKuLe3_z4Vf/s400/IMG_1599.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380593150496140786" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvBAtnhyphenhyphenJhwDdGa9Mj7n2vOHs6xx_5K34uwZN-hMeqRLj4DaCtuP7c0UcRO8sefKajgLkY_dbSvtWRzuO4nJU049pmv2auSZ8B2she5i-3NzpqJG5MoMUvF7uRFmh7D0zHLBflBSKX7wL/s1600-h/IMG_1604.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvvBAtnhyphenhyphenJhwDdGa9Mj7n2vOHs6xx_5K34uwZN-hMeqRLj4DaCtuP7c0UcRO8sefKajgLkY_dbSvtWRzuO4nJU049pmv2auSZ8B2she5i-3NzpqJG5MoMUvF7uRFmh7D0zHLBflBSKX7wL/s400/IMG_1604.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380593140325039666" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjGomb66TBdcT_4fG41tDcb_06ELL2pQgBe8y8o5jSpWZAMq5oCVLq4zOO4Cy7Yyhu-mEHVkAY3z4ucfnZtnvP9zX1teHImTq72uCI0troOOqQTZb4IXvfncYrSCjjDhdvp6EZHfOXfLrt/s1600-h/IMG_1607.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjGomb66TBdcT_4fG41tDcb_06ELL2pQgBe8y8o5jSpWZAMq5oCVLq4zOO4Cy7Yyhu-mEHVkAY3z4ucfnZtnvP9zX1teHImTq72uCI0troOOqQTZb4IXvfncYrSCjjDhdvp6EZHfOXfLrt/s400/IMG_1607.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380593139180657794" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">All these award guarantees top notch service.</span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;">Service is really top notch. Each dish is served into personal serving for the waiting staff and after each dish the plates are switched with fresh one. The managers were always checking with us whether the dishes were up to our satisfaction. I can see why they are even awarded the Singapore Service Star for their even prevailing good service. All these of cause comes at a price. However, Nan Bei Restaurant is that so extremely good at its service and food, that I believe every dim spent was all well worth it.<br /><br />Imperial Treasure Nan Bei Restaurant<br />391 Orchard Road<br />#05-12 Ngee Ann City<br />Tel: 6738 1238</span>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-15076279715287968832009-08-30T19:27:00.004+08:002009-08-30T19:48:16.123+08:00Childhood Memories<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0h6EI8brbOzsUBMg57IWnIa4ZDgYbcKKL1Ivjlz8XS96Z1Fx7y75UFB1RQEQ-QwpC3byIvzEkdsMZOubJ9cF-gvfYmZyuMl4Gct61EKqRc6NgnOAf1oIcpRzuK3z14XS0oyyyLj8OqMOf/s1600-h/IMG_1551.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0h6EI8brbOzsUBMg57IWnIa4ZDgYbcKKL1Ivjlz8XS96Z1Fx7y75UFB1RQEQ-QwpC3byIvzEkdsMZOubJ9cF-gvfYmZyuMl4Gct61EKqRc6NgnOAf1oIcpRzuK3z14XS0oyyyLj8OqMOf/s400/IMG_1551.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375718006372496882" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Dippy the up market cousin of Yam Yam.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7c0zOE6f-MtA2ZSjbXErqGgpME2Z302mjgWETPBgD7xT5x6vPLYn_u8Riz57xVxk2HcBLnzgyl-OziUJBZmQhxKWa9efE74RylqagRo7UwJAL8ZIp3Px8x7sRZiOHgCFpaS5sO7qqLIz1/s1600-h/IMG_1557.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7c0zOE6f-MtA2ZSjbXErqGgpME2Z302mjgWETPBgD7xT5x6vPLYn_u8Riz57xVxk2HcBLnzgyl-OziUJBZmQhxKWa9efE74RylqagRo7UwJAL8ZIp3Px8x7sRZiOHgCFpaS5sO7qqLIz1/s400/IMG_1557.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375717996997873714" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Meiji is bias against strawberry flavor.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXrltB9Kq4QCxOMT0WGL3Mr-MnS-jmV-AKgEVhvJrmboPXpFOA0ZFQ7966dHeWsSAyJPLHsxPRbx5jEkeFlSPkrqDJOHtk-xwwnUMgx6yDRpbFnNrj-giAfGh4zi3E6AAYWyYZF37HB_uU/s1600-h/IMG_1559.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXrltB9Kq4QCxOMT0WGL3Mr-MnS-jmV-AKgEVhvJrmboPXpFOA0ZFQ7966dHeWsSAyJPLHsxPRbx5jEkeFlSPkrqDJOHtk-xwwnUMgx6yDRpbFnNrj-giAfGh4zi3E6AAYWyYZF37HB_uU/s400/IMG_1559.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375717991918438482" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Matchsticks!

Long are the mama shops gone and slowly disappearing into the shadow, but Meiji Yam Yam are still present though hard to come by. I happen to get these instead. "Dippy" are also by Meiji, but under a different look. I came by them while in NTU's bazaar fair 2 weeks ago. They were at the same pricing as the Yam Yam ones, thus I decided to try them out.<br /><br />Taste wise they were not as sweet as the sugar syrup moose of the Yam Yam ones. Instead they are more chunky and thicker moose. The strawberry even have bits of seeds inside.</span>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-59033074342067752062009-08-16T15:05:00.003+08:002009-08-16T16:55:38.373+08:00Aoba Hokkaido Ramen<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8FEhVMVlIraAH96aZ2TnxPZFUwSUZe54b9H4bdTOPlhgUrpOWcktLqAsNx4dmYF8Pyatm-gjoJIfcWLzCdCZaATlFCky3HyPDbrx2Szj5BRbGCeMAkwsgkP-w3Ik2MhMzg_iXvZ6A3Ypw/s1600-h/IMG_1376.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8FEhVMVlIraAH96aZ2TnxPZFUwSUZe54b9H4bdTOPlhgUrpOWcktLqAsNx4dmYF8Pyatm-gjoJIfcWLzCdCZaATlFCky3HyPDbrx2Szj5BRbGCeMAkwsgkP-w3Ik2MhMzg_iXvZ6A3Ypw/s400/IMG_1376.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370456428151688146" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhst-cr01CM3bO6UM29VQo4tklEVXMQ7IrRF-6MYNYEvYDFbVISicKomXWbsy2OYvLkrcVEsUS-OhAc_u_SWNCxjYCnEw-HsCdDDmDUPeIq3r9g_AoyQ7gEWdpEB4fsZjKPWkTsWQssKyI/s1600-h/IMG_1494.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhst-cr01CM3bO6UM29VQo4tklEVXMQ7IrRF-6MYNYEvYDFbVISicKomXWbsy2OYvLkrcVEsUS-OhAc_u_SWNCxjYCnEw-HsCdDDmDUPeIq3r9g_AoyQ7gEWdpEB4fsZjKPWkTsWQssKyI/s400/IMG_1494.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370456417000705794" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">I love Japanese Restaurant displays.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnZ9mosMAASMbqlEBB0AeHS97NHR4jkLw_hTIrFdCBxy177YYq9iIsS_NB9B7aHiBMaVEz1TpEUKoT-wqQ4Twam9kXoXNgip3m57m5PiJnsqbA-U90yWty6zHx7tG8qVySvGznjENhsPY/s1600-h/IMG_1496.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMnZ9mosMAASMbqlEBB0AeHS97NHR4jkLw_hTIrFdCBxy177YYq9iIsS_NB9B7aHiBMaVEz1TpEUKoT-wqQ4Twam9kXoXNgip3m57m5PiJnsqbA-U90yWty6zHx7tG8qVySvGznjENhsPY/s400/IMG_1496.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370456411641392866" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Crate lamps?

The noodles were very "q". Goes great with the broth. The soup broth was really full bodied and nice. However, after 3 of 4 consecutive spoons. It can be very salty. I had a "tough" time enduring the saltiness, just to savor the bits of sweet corn kernels that had sank to the bottom of my bowl.<br /><br />There isn't a lot of difference between the different bowls of ramen. They are mainly differienated with their toppings and the soup broth that goes into the bowl of noodles. The cha shu (a bit thin) would have more slices of meat and the corn ones have lesser meat and a heap of corn kernels and a nob of butter. The soup is really salty. (This is coming from someone who loves salty food. You have been warned.). The butter does bring out the corn sweetness and seems to make the soup smoother. I got a perfect shoyu egg with a runny yoke. My two other friend weren't so lucky, with overcooked eggs. Standards are a bit varying. Miso broth is saltier than the Shoyu broth.<br /><br />The service suffered a bit with new staff in a new branch. However, I applaud the service staff for stopping a couple from cutting the queue (its was a really long queue). No priority to anyone. You wait in line. Interesting fact.<br /><br />Ajisen management brought in Aoba Ramen. *Shock*</span><br /><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7N8Qd26SP7nGQ_2bKM6AcPFx7aFwjoH7Zdcz1ikG9tBheRFT-6hrgXh2DHKkCjdr6WfD5ZwJ3QAebCduPieo5gVHurl4N5XdJf3swgf86w_5yJI8Q-S9bsDN0kierysi03zGSpmbiE8jw/s1600-h/IMG_1515.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7N8Qd26SP7nGQ_2bKM6AcPFx7aFwjoH7Zdcz1ikG9tBheRFT-6hrgXh2DHKkCjdr6WfD5ZwJ3QAebCduPieo5gVHurl4N5XdJf3swgf86w_5yJI8Q-S9bsDN0kierysi03zGSpmbiE8jw/s400/IMG_1515.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370454654007421378" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Food for thought.</span><br /><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;">Aoba Ramen (ION Orchard)<br />2 Orchard Turn<br />#B3-25 ION Orchard<br />Tel: 6509 9394</span>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-24015778239070433402009-08-06T12:32:00.006+08:002009-12-25T17:48:14.524+08:00Tsukiji Gindaco<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUavuDaFcqjMjDJ75kDH783w891BiTRp2vjQPU2iDCiCubn-DxVD_CZ9II0rQYgRiI4Mto3jIZPt79NkmiCCjx-8nplyLZ4BF0MzZMGA_6dXH9iNEaFEsVRMIuEDU-wPzbBgYXbqgpFDj1/s1600-h/IMG_1448.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUavuDaFcqjMjDJ75kDH783w891BiTRp2vjQPU2iDCiCubn-DxVD_CZ9II0rQYgRiI4Mto3jIZPt79NkmiCCjx-8nplyLZ4BF0MzZMGA_6dXH9iNEaFEsVRMIuEDU-wPzbBgYXbqgpFDj1/s400/IMG_1448.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366706315863781042" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Gindaco Takoyaki has come a long way from Japan to Singapore.

Gindaco Takoyaki is <del>good, damn good,</del> the best. There is only one flavour for Singaporean to choose, unlike the <a href="http://www.gindaco.com/contents/menu/index.html">many choices</a> in Japan.<br /><br />The takoyaki is crispy and fried till golden brown. I couldn't bear to even eat one, even after photographing it for a long time. Upon biting it, the balls burst of flavours of the tako, leeks and pickled ginger. The aroma immediately brush pass your nose with a savory and refreshing tingle. The interior is still slightly moist with the batter and a good portion of tako, which is fresh and chewy. The okonomiyaki sauce is just right, not overpowering and bonito flakes were slightly enough.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQaI8tmRK4upAF_rX8ntod6nhqmdy0ImXypqiF_WbhveavTVb37DEDymgMm1gK6VApfEwtoOW1NZA46Z6icKEy7udZ0PkgYG5jZpgTqJBDtloZ9cRQoekMvtPQA1NQj1fVrM_QY3ARtb2-/s1600-h/IMG_1460.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQaI8tmRK4upAF_rX8ntod6nhqmdy0ImXypqiF_WbhveavTVb37DEDymgMm1gK6VApfEwtoOW1NZA46Z6icKEy7udZ0PkgYG5jZpgTqJBDtloZ9cRQoekMvtPQA1NQj1fVrM_QY3ARtb2-/s400/IMG_1460.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366705509510095586" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Japanese Maccha</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The Japanese Maccha is really very thick.

The original Japanese staff have been replaced with new Singapore ones. While waiting in queue I noted that the quality control is very stringent. Excess ingredients while grilled and forming the balls are discarded. Ball while sit too long and are cooled are also discard. Any balls that are not a perfect round, deformed or have holes are also discarded. The skill level that the chef molding the balls and quickly jumping them to flip is quite admirable. Almost like an art performance. Taste wise its exactly the way I remembered from the first time. Golden brown and crispy exterior and soft moist interior.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Tsukiji Gindaco<br />2 Orchard Turn<br />#B4-64/65 ION Orchard<br />Singapore 238801<br />Tel: 6509 9038</span>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-17873202020143837022009-08-05T21:25:00.004+08:002009-08-05T22:07:17.974+08:00The Taiyaki @ ION Orchard<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW_reOfbYDMgTZTHNm-LYrTLlLJQLA8yuHFQUfIOqwoXeFB6oDt1ttlc04a76ySnDEFFbQdNw-OaUUY7NmnG6D0v-WzB9lUwKOOf7MjsPhHlYqjp3WQInUGneiQO8IJGDhMsgPiJPhmKLO/s1600-h/IMG_1398.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW_reOfbYDMgTZTHNm-LYrTLlLJQLA8yuHFQUfIOqwoXeFB6oDt1ttlc04a76ySnDEFFbQdNw-OaUUY7NmnG6D0v-WzB9lUwKOOf7MjsPhHlYqjp3WQInUGneiQO8IJGDhMsgPiJPhmKLO/s400/IMG_1398.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366471319930058578" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Many varieties of Taiyaki to choose.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The Taiyaki offers many different kinds of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiyaki">Taiyaki</a>.

One can taste the salt rub applied even on it before roasting the pig whole. Finally to the best portion of the roast pig, the crisp skin. The skin is very crisp and crackles with every bit. (In terms of the crispy skin) Not the best I've had, but among some of the better ones I've tasted thus far.

The Peking duck is execute really good. Never mind the long queue. The wait is worth it. Each slice of Peking duck is carefully wrapped in thin egg crepes and brushed with hoisin sauce. There is lot of duck meat present inside the wrap and its tender and lacks the strong smell that most people hate about duck. The sauce is just right and doesn't overpower light nature of this dish.<br /><br />Although I do agree that the roast pork and Peking duck are on the pricey side for finger food. I do encourage you to try out the Peking duck.

Minori offers a large variety of grilled items and most are great hits items that cannot be missed. Take their chicken balls for example. These guys are huge and just plucking one from the skewer and stuffing yourself is a plain joy to eat. The salmon teriyaki is succulent and juicy with slight grilled marks bring smokiness of the grill to the party. However, the salmon suffered under the lack of a crisp skin which would make this a great dish. Similarly the grilled mackerel also suffers the same fate of the salmon. I prefer the Hanabi</span> retention. This is cause properly due to the suddenly spike of diners during the peak dinner hours.<br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKePlv5EmFfKusqHZtg_fXp-yLsGkYq1MHyE3rgZP-I5zg0r2ZGzBzplnW5sfepIuu9l3qTvVbUDikWd_-gJV3zxIcLupbuGeWiv_HJhJloXs2v_Ng1QB3_4Di-NZb5QOeGjFhu9uGb9yt/s1600-h/IMG_0944.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKePlv5EmFfKusqHZtg_fXp-yLsGkYq1MHyE3rgZP-I5zg0r2ZGzBzplnW5sfepIuu9l3qTvVbUDikWd_-gJV3zxIcLupbuGeWiv_HJhJloXs2v_Ng1QB3_4Di-NZb5QOeGjFhu9uGb9yt/s400/IMG_0944.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363082271658015202" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Buta To Garlic (Pork Belly with Garlic Seasoning)<br />Tori Kawa Shio (Chicken Skin)<br />Tori Kimo Shio (Chicken Liver)<br />Uzura Shio (Quail Eggs)<br />Ika Shio (Red Squid)<br />Sunagimo Shio (Chicken Gizzard)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Another item that is worth to be mention. The Buta To Garlic really stole my heart. The meat is marinated thoroughly with garlic and grilled to just tenderness. Hot item. Even all my friends gave thumbs up for this. The quail eggs is really nice, but if the present of teriyaki sauce would enhance this dish a lot more. Ika Shio is rather subjective based on the consumer. The squid was well grilled, but present of slimy guts and hard "bone" is a really put off for me. As I don't really take to inlets, I shall not comment on them. However, I felt that the chicken skin wasn't grilled crispy enough.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy0Jx3152we80G-121CYY_WopRIkVwZ7L4XAfk8Q3WGx8tR29I1UQ8hnsvmUyjJbWlFik6wpN8p0SXRLi__7mo7ldojsuEqqcyCDKa8PK0hJnLm1rVf7usoI7SzREpJOjqW_EB9lEnLsMn/s1600-h/IMG_0941.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy0Jx3152we80G-121CYY_WopRIkVwZ7L4XAfk8Q3WGx8tR29I1UQ8hnsvmUyjJbWlFik6wpN8p0SXRLi__7mo7ldojsuEqqcyCDKa8PK0hJnLm1rVf7usoI7SzREpJOjqW_EB9lEnLsMn/s400/IMG_0941.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363082262605858386" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Unagi Kabayaki (Grilled Eel with Special Sweet Sauce)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I adore unagi. The poor eel (still alive) is split into half while butterflying it with a single stroke through the middle, much like a samurai slash. The eel is then painstakingly grilled and coated with layers of teriyaki sauce. This dish in my opinion is one of the dishes that truly distinguish Japanese barbecues. Minori offers unlimited serving of this. Unlike other places which you have to fill your stomach with unwanted rice from maki or temaki, in order to savor that tiny strip of unagi. Their unagi is also neither burned (teriyaki sauce is sweet, thus easily burned) or slapped with too much sauce. </span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_z2nvsLE9ye925Rwjj6AhZbIPBZtkaeo1vjFuYLde208mCGvLRfOuCNJkAgsO3JsxE5VTpzLz6tQqMMa375B5InqjwMKTX0EdIRIo2njGVvoN7Dijna0IBQc5jVg3HM2aI79Xwosp7k9k/s1600-h/IMG_0940.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_z2nvsLE9ye925Rwjj6AhZbIPBZtkaeo1vjFuYLde208mCGvLRfOuCNJkAgsO3JsxE5VTpzLz6tQqMMa375B5InqjwMKTX0EdIRIo2njGVvoN7Dijna0IBQc5jVg3HM2aI79Xwosp7k9k/s400/IMG_0940.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363082260089035778" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Tenpura Moriwase<br />(Assorted Tempura Prawns, Fish, Vegetables)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I prefer Minori's tempura compared to Hanabi's version.

Samashi are fresh, nigiri and maki are average but suffer poor presentation, agemono (deep fried) hits are their prawns but suffer poor meat dishes. What really shines are their yakimono (grilled) and ippin mono (popular dishes). Therefore plan properly before ordering.<br /><br />The service wise is good and prompt. However, as the office workers flock in to dine. The service would slow down a bit, but still relatively acceptable. I love the way food portions are done. Sushi and maki clearly state their serving portions. Grilled and tempura items are all portion to be single servings, even rice and noodle items are relatively small but sufficient. Thus one can really control the serving portions. Allowing me to plan carefully and reserve extra space for other good eats.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Hanabi Restaurant and Sake Bar<br />331 North Bridge Road<br />#01-04 Odeon Towers<br />Singapore 188720<br />Tel: 6338 6626<br />Website: <a href="http://www.hanabi.com.sg/">http://www.hanabi.com.sg/</a></span><br /></div></div><br /><br /><iframe marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Hanabi+Restaurant+and+Sake+Bar&sll=1.352083,103.819836&sspn=1.00221,1.772919&ie=UTF8&cid=13137529861291382584&ll=1.299515,103.853846&spn=0.007508,0.00912&z=16&iwloc=A&output=embed" frameborder="0" height="350" scrolling="no" width="425"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=Hanabi+Restaurant+and+Sake+Bar&sll=1.352083,103.819836&sspn=1.00221,1.772919&ie=UTF8&cid=13137529861291382584&ll=1.299515,103.853846&spn=0.007508,0.00912&z=16&iwloc=A" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: left;">View Larger Map</a></small>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-86130828064101423362009-07-18T18:02:00.016+08:002009-07-20T19:40:28.443+08:00Teadot<span style="font-size:85%;">I was quick intrigued by this new chill out place offering teas instead of the coffee as its main focal in the beverages they serve. There have been too many coffee points like Starbucks and Coffeebean, where they offer the caffeine addicts their fill of legal drugs.<br /><br />Often people see tea as a complex and zen process with strict procedures in which the tea has to be brewed in order to achieve its full potential. This complex ceremony often proves to be too daunting for most. Thus the tea is often associated with old man taking their leisure time and slowing preparing small pots of tea and playing chess. Giving the impression, that it would be difficult to blend into the fast pacing society we are in.<br /><br />Therefore, when I first heard about Teadot and their fusion tea beverages. I was deeply interested and applaud to great idea of introducing tea in a different style to the public. Breaking into the market that is already saturated with coffee chains isn't going to be easy task for the 4 entrepreneurs of this new establishment.<br /><br />Teadot first launch itself at Tampines 1 and followed with their 2nd store in Iluma. There was a promotion on going, thus I paid them a visit.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaAwNpLOMugwroSe0nBcc4j-x7mZ23iYdPycxLwteclQ2tlnZ_uEIy-WDtNpeVf_JeMsBiz1EotO3VkzLx3LxbN8e60tbucOKCDXsBRInDx3ISgIGGUj8sQqhhDNEFWUD847cEOShQd51/s1600-h/IMG_1286.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaAwNpLOMugwroSe0nBcc4j-x7mZ23iYdPycxLwteclQ2tlnZ_uEIy-WDtNpeVf_JeMsBiz1EotO3VkzLx3LxbN8e60tbucOKCDXsBRInDx3ISgIGGUj8sQqhhDNEFWUD847cEOShQd51/s400/IMG_1286.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359753931462907634" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">The store is facing the road with entire glass wall resulting in a brightly lit store.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHAfBYN3PRox_t3xtM23ZAvKvviL2SDJE6S65v6ER9zLNVbS2tKR5KoyPfOhgjOPrBvPMmZ5nk9CuVRx5bx9gYOKmz4GGKySLTzFzXNQgU0pFlKT4lm00xQ0a26M5XVERCu-i3iwZZMwO/s1600-h/IMG_1294.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAHAfBYN3PRox_t3xtM23ZAvKvviL2SDJE6S65v6ER9zLNVbS2tKR5KoyPfOhgjOPrBvPMmZ5nk9CuVRx5bx9gYOKmz4GGKySLTzFzXNQgU0pFlKT4lm00xQ0a26M5XVERCu-i3iwZZMwO/s400/IMG_1294.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359753931287333442" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Interior is decorated in a modern feel with a hint of retro.</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The store is really spacious and tables are space rather adequately, unlike other coffee point whom fill their stores with so many seats that its hardly able to even go into them.

Another key difference is that Matcha Gravity is a chilled ice tea latte instead of the smoothie texture of Simply Matcha Frappe.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxYuie__gZowoeNN4uVQC9DCeA00ix9Ub4HLd5plswkfU5D3QqwAX4dbvyqxDjiYrzx40LGHYigpTz56tcpa8zqkm00jBUu0P1xpSUFAKSYCzAxNmYWHXqmfLOAjXlZasH03MwQROXqTU/s1600-h/IMG_1317.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxYuie__gZowoeNN4uVQC9DCeA00ix9Ub4HLd5plswkfU5D3QqwAX4dbvyqxDjiYrzx40LGHYigpTz56tcpa8zqkm00jBUu0P1xpSUFAKSYCzAxNmYWHXqmfLOAjXlZasH03MwQROXqTU/s400/IMG_1317.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359749139382714722" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Even the tininess tea dust have to obey the laws of physics.<br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Interesting enough.

Sadly to say the promotion is over, I apologies for not posting this earlier. The tea is chilled and carefully poured over a layer of syrup. Showing the sparkle of clear liquid and warmth of an evening sunset. The ceylon tea is really refreshing and brightens my day. I detect no hints of bitterness at all, showing that the tea wasn't over extracted and allowed to sit to allow the flavours to seep out. The aroma is fragrant and clear. My friend commented that I taste like high grade lemon tea. I sigh for the ignorant.</span><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSIGG-b3qmtM8_lq-908EUCMhQpY8jwFI0gZ3tfAeLZlI8DEyotuNR6zUr6za0ij8TzQAsB9p0SL36Q75IAJ6K9tyfNfOUKPh_uBC1rWXiQP5kIjrzEXwFtuYwhOeYN48xOGpI-Us11ESN/s1600-h/IMG_1311.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSIGG-b3qmtM8_lq-908EUCMhQpY8jwFI0gZ3tfAeLZlI8DEyotuNR6zUr6za0ij8TzQAsB9p0SL36Q75IAJ6K9tyfNfOUKPh_uBC1rWXiQP5kIjrzEXwFtuYwhOeYN48xOGpI-Us11ESN/s400/IMG_1311.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359747413795353090" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Lavender Wilderness</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This is really unique.

Do however understand that as unlike coffee which is extracted with pressure to form espresso, teas require a sitting period in boiling water to allow the flavours and aroma to seep out. Thus the slightly longer waiting time.<br /><br />Currently there is a promotion of 50% off any cake with any regular tea. I strongly recommend this place for chill outs. Great teas and cakes. Topped with excellent service from staff. Overall my visit to Teadot was a pleasant one. I'll be sure to visit them in the near future.<br /><br />Teadot (Iluma)<br />201 Victoria Street, Iluma@Bugis<br />#01-23/24<br />Singapore 188067</span><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=teadot&sll=1.352083,103.819836&sspn=1.047514,1.783905&ie=UTF8&cid=257678876915737128&ll=1.300867,103.854758&spn=0.003754,0.00456&z=17&iwloc=A&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=teadot&sll=1.352083,103.819836&sspn=1.047514,1.783905&ie=UTF8&cid=257678876915737128&ll=1.300867,103.854758&spn=0.003754,0.00456&z=17&iwloc=A" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-40912925131337380592009-07-16T16:17:00.011+08:002009-07-16T18:12:47.950+08:00Astons Empire<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghljmYguBPQkBpMhhHeRgHd3torNDRM51688ssr7HwGEB7zQnld5IsXKn0T_xAL4TDXFpoRB_TE7xsBrat_L4UEpGlU8r4dULrjV_hNh-V9damNX5rGNkw7Axwanj-M8KZxWq546Fk9Afq/s1600-h/IMG_0467.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghljmYguBPQkBpMhhHeRgHd3torNDRM51688ssr7HwGEB7zQnld5IsXKn0T_xAL4TDXFpoRB_TE7xsBrat_L4UEpGlU8r4dULrjV_hNh-V9damNX5rGNkw7Axwanj-M8KZxWq546Fk9Afq/s400/IMG_0467.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358975102212391682" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The success of Aston's formula of cheap, great portions and customization dishes has propelled Astons to mushroom all over Singapore.

As most Chinese restaurants, hold their dim sum buffet session in the morning.<br /><br />A friend introduced me River City Restaurant. To my surprise, their are actually related to Dragon Cate Restaurant which is located in Harbor Front. In fact, River City is cheaper at $12.90++ on weekdays and $15.90++ on weekend. However, the River City dim sum is missing 6 dishes compared to Dragon Gate. $2 cheaper for the lost of 6 dim sum items seems a rather waste.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wVFbrT-pCHv9CWWFhxSt4XIVB2AAPtzr7_gXpJkPJZwu-7QS4XJ2VWn1dgpMuiSdGL0MDdeEZEWy4W6v9ZAxFJuNlf5655Pys2lZXkM6RqP94Xqrv-J4Ttmq7xUv4sfAJRx6kG0TnROl/s1600-h/IMG_0723.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9wVFbrT-pCHv9CWWFhxSt4XIVB2AAPtzr7_gXpJkPJZwu-7QS4XJ2VWn1dgpMuiSdGL0MDdeEZEWy4W6v9ZAxFJuNlf5655Pys2lZXkM6RqP94Xqrv-J4Ttmq7xUv4sfAJRx6kG0TnROl/s400/IMG_0723.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357092764134086690" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Siew Mai (Steamed Dumpling with Mushrooms)</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The chef here infuse the Siew Mai's mince pork meat with mushroom is a good try.

The Dessert of the Day was boiled beancurd & barley, good for cooling down after all those fried stuff.<br /><br />Service is prompt and friendly even though they are under staff. At time they forgot your orders, but a quick reminder and they would dish out your orders asap. Certain orders seem to wait till a "quotation amount" before the chef cooks all at once, thus you would have to wait. Popular dishes like the Steamed Shrimp Dumpling are a bit slow to come, maybe due to their high demand and the restaurant's invisible limitation cap. Personally I'd prefer Dragon Gate, due to the more variety of dim sum and better standard in quality. However, River City is located neared to town. Just know what are the hits and avoid the misses.<br /><br />Buffet start at 11.30 am and end at 2.30 pm.<br /><br />River City Restaurant<br />5 Coleman Street<br />#04-02 Excelsior Hotel<br />Singapore 179805<br />Tel: 6339 9969<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><br /><br /><iframe marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=River+City+Restaurant&sll=1.345,103.815&sspn=2.026313,3.56781&ie=UTF8&cid=16877627520383455913&ll=1.295311,103.850799&spn=0.007508,0.00912&z=16&iwloc=A&output=embed" frameborder="0" height="350" scrolling="no" width="425"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=River+City+Restaurant&sll=1.345,103.815&sspn=2.026313,3.56781&ie=UTF8&cid=16877627520383455913&ll=1.295311,103.850799&spn=0.007508,0.00912&z=16&iwloc=A" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); text-align: left;">View Larger Map</a></small>Unlimitedfeasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229232973680954685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-432647437529614037.post-26901917582108814462009-07-08T14:06:00.015+08:002009-07-19T13:20:46.816+08:00Benten Cafe @ Iluma<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfjUkoi3XMN6W74reQanQWx5uxi26ykEEniiycIQ7Gnye-6-0A_JMrcRqIzUSBip1ayWj7dUb9fDPrDtUG0g9O-JMOObr4lxM7OU6UGc60ORGZVp0NmHZ6Hba33GOzNGiuoLtziXcmumBK/s1600-h/IMG_0384.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfjUkoi3XMN6W74reQanQWx5uxi26ykEEniiycIQ7Gnye-6-0A_JMrcRqIzUSBip1ayWj7dUb9fDPrDtUG0g9O-JMOObr4lxM7OU6UGc60ORGZVp0NmHZ6Hba33GOzNGiuoLtziXcmumBK/s400/IMG_0384.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356008058081931378" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Brightly lit place.

There are single mains and combo mains to cater to the pea eater and hungry frenzy crowd. All come with sides of broccoli, corn and fries. To add on to the already confusing menu, there is a option of 3 kinds of sauce to go with your meat. They are demi glaze, black pepper and curry. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">Then there is the final option of bread or rice to go with your grill plate items. I would recommend toast which is rather fragrant though not being garlic toast. Plus all those carbohydrates from the fries should be able to satisfy your starch intake for the day.<br /><br />I had the hamburger steak & egg. </span><span style="font-size:85%;">The demi glaze, which is a thick brown reduced meat stock, goes really well with the hamburger steak. Though I feel that they were a little stingy on the sauce. The hamburger though big was a bit too brittle. However, the sweetness of the bits of onion within the patty does make up for its flaws. Still Wakaru has a better retention of the hamburger steak.</span><br /></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF92EVZ6Aog96-9Opr48zTbLxm7yduLKhEEKeW3Rgv4FfCNY9Eoe2Ir6SXX9qpk8vf1xpsO6s9rwV_0TxzzzwJW92rh5bHFgMELiGQB3H6xXr8huRRv1ogKoEZYrzqds3w8i7N6srReDqm/s1600-h/IMG_0368.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF92EVZ6Aog96-9Opr48zTbLxm7yduLKhEEKeW3Rgv4FfCNY9Eoe2Ir6SXX9qpk8vf1xpsO6s9rwV_0TxzzzwJW92rh5bHFgMELiGQB3H6xXr8huRRv1ogKoEZYrzqds3w8i7N6srReDqm/s400/IMG_0368.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356004066665814226" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Pork Cutlet Curry Rice</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGfUndtf2eWVVAULvkRctuXI3OkbkXAA4cWshWACu0zAL48-jlkLv5vjbpQK1QA7trlzly2-siYZNWHHghL-eLtFuQRGOTu-XQrZdyhL5JV7jTFsb2inQVr7H9ABLzimsKVII-2oBTwMH/s1600-h/IMG_0378.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGfUndtf2eWVVAULvkRctuXI3OkbkXAA4cWshWACu0zAL48-jlkLv5vjbpQK1QA7trlzly2-siYZNWHHghL-eLtFuQRGOTu-XQrZdyhL5JV7jTFsb2inQVr7H9ABLzimsKVII-2oBTwMH/s400/IMG_0378.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356004069065845378" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Hamburger Curry Rice</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Curry rice is not bad. The curry is slightly different compared to the ones that you would get from regular Japanese places. Its slightly hotter and not as thick in flavor. Neverless its still above average. The pork cutlet is huge and goes really well with the curry. Though its a first of me trying Japanese curry with hamburger steak, the brittle steak doesn't complement the curry as well as the pork. Due to the brittle nature of the steak, thus losing out in terms of texture.</span><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbY3N2PLbR2d6jKcrJEGLHDqxICAvzgJDoemlH4E0mRlqbOjYQqABvGHdKkGXtEZYaGJFc2p7uf7Z5DUwKiHlK0egVy4O9fj52ugOp7IJ86KRNH983-BdG1WIhbhXFg2M9tc_Y7Gvtoesy/s1600-h/IMG_0380.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbY3N2PLbR2d6jKcrJEGLHDqxICAvzgJDoemlH4E0mRlqbOjYQqABvGHdKkGXtEZYaGJFc2p7uf7Z5DUwKiHlK0egVy4O9fj52ugOp7IJ86KRNH983-BdG1WIhbhXFg2M9tc_Y7Gvtoesy/s400/IMG_0380.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356004062715616850" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Matccha Azuki Parfait</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmSBFuIEl0JpqcIvP9qoE-dIMi3ORUf2qhVmWXiQOu2pn8CHLfzvcziPsZlsaEH4KUeG7iyentqLHkJgUH4faI-KLeo3C5rR_2sE4zCxkD3NpfATWvxSaCU850z4MS71657IVRxq0DchcZ/s1600-h/IMG_0382.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmSBFuIEl0JpqcIvP9qoE-dIMi3ORUf2qhVmWXiQOu2pn8CHLfzvcziPsZlsaEH4KUeG7iyentqLHkJgUH4faI-KLeo3C5rR_2sE4zCxkD3NpfATWvxSaCU850z4MS71657IVRxq0DchcZ/s400/IMG_0382.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356004059050619074" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Choco Banana Parfait</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Benten Cafe also offers a few parfait at really low prices of $5.80.

More importantly, the ice is more finer and thus easier to spoon evenly with the ingredients. That said, their Plaza Singapura branch isn't that bad.

Price at only $14.90. What you get is chicken katsu with nanban sauce, salmon chilli don, gyoza, chawanmushi, miso soup and fruit. The chicken katsu is simply huge. Though a bit on dry side, the creamy and spicy nanban sauce does make up for it. The katsu is accompanied by greens at the side which are drizzled with garlic oil making it thus more fragrant.<br /><br />The main reason, I prefer Ichiban to Sakae is their salmon. The salmon is fresher and doesn't carry that "heavy" smell. Taste wise its sweeter and more smooth. Unlike the rubbery texture you get in Sakae. The staff were very helpful too. I'd requested that my salmon don to be without chilli, which they execute my order flawlessly.<br /><br />The gyoza is rather average, but I'd prefer its teriyyaki sauce in the base of the dish to be less concentrated. Surprisingly there were tiny sprouts of asparagus as garnish, which were rather present to nibble on. The c</span><span style="font-size:85%;">hawanmushi though calm is peace on the surface, is really choke filled with ingredients. Better then any I've eaten thus far.<br /><br />I'd advice that one should be prepared to wait for seating and slow orders. As this place can be pack at times.
