Hajime Tonkatsu & Ramen @MyVillage

Posted on 3 July 2016 by lendeliz

2016-07-03 13.09.49We were here to check out the recently opened ramen place!

Since we read that the Chef Tan-san was the first Tonkatsu Chef in Singapore, we figured that it might be prudent to order the Premium Pork Loin Tonkatsu Set ($19.90 nett), and the Tonkatsu Ramen ($14.90) which uses the normal pork loin.

Each Tonkatsu set came with roasted sesame (which we had fun grinding), tonjiru soup (which was awesome broth simmered with Japanese pork and very rich in flavour), pickles, fruits, as well as unlimited servings of Niigata rice and crunchy cabbage (which we could barely finished the first serving).

Maison Ikkoku @Kandahar Street

Posted on 2 July 2016 by lendeliz

2016-07-02 21.01.39We were here for some supper, but unfortunately, the kitchen has closed, by the time we reached after 9pm. Nevermind, the drinks and cakes were still available 🙂

  • White Cold Drip ($7 nett): Pretty standard drink.
  • Iced Blueberry Mint Tea ($7): This was refreshing, and enjoyed the sweet and sour combination.
  • Carrot Cake ($8.90): We found this to be quite sweet, but they were very generous with the walnuts!

Cold water was freely available at the counter near the restroom. There were also some magazines available for browsing. It was quite a nice place to chill out, but a pity that we did not manage to try out the food.

Steeple’s Deli @Tanglin Shopling Centre

Posted on 2 July 2016 by lendeliz

We felt like we stepped back in time upon entering this place 😮

Very nostalgic decorations, oldies playing, plus the dim yellow lighting, time seemed to have come to a standstill at this founded in 1981 cafe. Service charge and GST did not exist here too! Oh, and only cash accepted, just like the good old days.

We had to order and pay first, before picking any bar counter seat of our fancy. Things were done nice and slow, and our items came one by one, with the staff just passing the item over the counter to us when ready, with a smile. We could also watch them prepare our food and drinks since it was really an open concept; there are no glass windows separating the customers and the stove. One could also browse the available magazines while having a drink. Here were what we tried:

Ishinomaki Grill and Sake Bar @Palaris Renaissance

Posted on 2 July 2016 by lendeliz

As part of our redeem-voucher-coz-Starhub-points-expiring exercise, we had a 1-for-1 $60++ 6-course Omakase deal at Ishinomaki Grill and Sake. It was a fairly popular place for Saturday lunch, and there were at least 2 other couples enjoying the same deal, all seated at the same corner of the restaurant.

East Bistro 東小馆 @Sembawang

Posted on 26 June 2016 by lendeliz

We had past by here a few times in the evening, and it was usually very quiet. This time, we decided to come here for dim sum, resolutely walking past the relatively empty white beehoon along the way.

L’Atelier Tirami Su @The Central

Posted on 14 June 2016 by lendeliz

2016-06-14 20.38.16We were looking for coffee after dinner, and had read about this place, but unfortunately the coffee machine was already shut down by the time we reached, around 20 minutes before closing. Hubby had to settle for tea, which turned out to be a rather excellent choice 🙂

  • Classico ($7.20 nett): The classic tiramisu was a very well-balanced light treat, with non of the flavours being overpowering. It was so good, we devoured it within minutes!
  • Cranberry Sunrise ($5): Surprisingly, this was not as sour as we expected; in fact, it was very refreshing and we loved it!
  • Matcha Latte ($5.50): The latte art was so pretty! The drink itself was abit off though; somehow the water and matcha flavour were kinda distinct…
Contact:

  • Location: 6 Eu Tong Sen St, Clarke Quay Central #B1-09 S(059817)
  • Website: latelier-tiramisu.com
  • Hrs: 12pm – 9pm (Mon-Thu), 12pm – 10pm (Fri-Sat), 12pm – 7pm (Sun)

Dee Tongue Thai by Rung Mama @Golden Mile Complex

Posted on 11 June 2016 by lendeliz

2016-06-13 13.31.31JY brought us to this restaurant for lunch (after our delicious pre-lunch snack), and it was indeed a good decision!

Food here was affordable and delicious, and service was efficient! What we had:

  • Grilled Pork Moo Yang ($12): This was a rather large portion for the price. The pork pieces were tender and juicy.
  • Thai Pork Omelette Kai Jeow Moo ($10): This had reallly good wok-hei, and we loved it!
  • Stir-Fried Water Spinach Pad Boong Fai Daeng ($8): This dish was a tad too spicy for us… Even after picking out the chilli 😮
  • Pineapple Fried Rice Kao Pad Sa Palot Yai ($7 for small, $12 for large): Very fragrant and had a good balance of sweet and savoury.

Note: Only cash is accepted, and water can be purchased for $1 per bottle.

Heap Seng Leong Coffeeshop @North Bridge Road

Posted on 11 June 2016 by lendeliz

imageWe were here especially for the kopi gu you (coffee with condensed milk and butter) after seeing it on JY’s IG!

A very old-school coffeeshop, it seemed like time stood still here.

Compared to brightly-lit signages of the nearby coffeeshop, we almost missed this place because the signage kind of blended into the background 😛
