Chilli Prawns and Squids








Thanks to my grandparents that I get to have this delicious dish for dinner. So wonderful that from the moment I tasted it I said to myself that "I have to put this on my blog!"

Actually, it was me who gave a little suggestion yesterday to use the chilli sauce used in Chilli Crabs to go with prawns and squids. My grandmother actually went to the market to get the ingredients this morning.

Hope she cooks this again soon. Nothing beats the food cooked at home, nothing.

Tompeiyaki @ Watami, ION Orchard

















Looks yummy? Its an omelette with sliced pork & raw cabbage. I did not notice that it has raw cabbage in it until I read the menu again on their website. Cool. It tastes like Takoyaki (Takoballs) except that this is a long and huge version. It doesn't taste bad but I'll recommend you to get a bowl of rice to go with it or you might get sick of it after a few mouths. It costs $6.80++ and is really reasonable for its quality.

Hotate Butter Yaki @ Watami, ION Orchard

















Hotplate Scallops with Butter. I honestly have to say that I love the mushrooms in this dish more than the scallops. It is prepared nicely but I would not recommend this dish unless you like scallops alot or you got nothing else on mind that you want to eat. Otherwise, in my case, I'll not order this at $5.80++ again. Once is enough. Actually I can still imagine the weird oily feeling in my mouth now while typing even though I had this around 2-3 weeks ago.

Teppan Bou Gyoza @ Watami, ION Orchard

















These are hotplate pork dumplings which tastes like the chinese version except that it is crispy on the outside. Oily but still acceptable. Gives a better taste after dipping into the soy sauce given. This would cost $6.80++ and considering Watami's good service, it's a great dish as a quick bite or as a side dish to your meal.

Cha Soba @ Sushi Tei, Holland Village
















Tastes almost the same as the one made at home by my brother.

Cold Soba Noodles (Home Made)

 

At $7, it is a very reasonable price to be dining in such a nice environment. If you visit Sushi Tei at Holland VIllage, make sure to take the seats on the 2nd floor!

Pork Chops @ Astons Specialities, The Cathay Building

Fries missing from the plate because we were told that it will be served afterwards.
Fine...
Nothing very special about the pork chops except that the grill marks on it makes it very appetising to me .
Has just the right portions of fats on it which is to my liking. Who eats pork chop without fats anyway?
It comes with 2 side dishes and costs slightly below $10 including gst. Worthed in a restaurant setting.

BBQ Chicken Burger @ Bongo Burgers, Birdpark



Looks nice? Actually we actually ate the burger even before taking a photo of it because it looks just too delicious. This photo just shows a half-eaten burger, believe it or not.

Nothing much to comment, it tastes alright for something from a theme park and it's not very expensive. Just $7+ if you use the $1 discount voucher for every park admission you purchase. Be noticed that drinks are not included.

It is located right beside the entrance of the bird park.

Try it ;)

Fisherman's Catch & Baked Macaroni @ Say Cheeze, Tampines 1



Never seen a piece of fish look so much like bread before.

The fish is fresh but is of quite a small portion which is not enough for big eaters.



This dish is a little too boring for me. It's just cheese, macaroni and some bits of meat. Every spoon of this that goes into my mouth has the same taste and the same texture. Makes me feel like I'm a baby eating macaroni and cheese. On the good side, it does not taste bad at all.

The meal comes with a soup of the day and a drink.

The soup of the day was minestrone which was alright except that the vegetables are not soft enough to really taste good. I prefer the vegetables in the minestrone to be very soft and easy to just slurp into the mouth without chewing.

Thinking about the drinks just makes me uneasy. Already confirmed that we wanted 2 cups of coca-cola and they still served us iced water. They obviously forgot until I reminded the person who served us. He told us that he had to check whether there are still any left. What? How can there be no coke? After awhile he brings 2 cups of diluted coke. Enough said.

$7++ per student set, quite worthed it. Please no more diluted coke next time.
