Pretty sure this coffee shop has a better name but this is my affectionately Singaporean name for it. Duck rilettes from Immanuel's French Kitchen was flavourful and generous. Do make sure you eat it with the bread and tiny gherkins! We also ordered the chilli crab pasta from the traveling c.o.w. which was decent. However, would have preferred it to have more kick in terms of spiciness. The truffle fries was an add-on to the pasta and I'm pretty sure they forgot to drizzle our fries with truffle oil cos they tasted unfortunately just like normal fries. :(

This has become my go to place for Japanese food in the jurong area. Nothing beats their affordable set meals that offers so much more value than your usual Japanese restaurant chains. And it's even a bigger plus when their food standard is way above those chains. Saboten specializes in those breaded fried goodies. They are done perfectly with the bread crumbs giving a comfortable fluffy crunch (not those that leave scratches on your gums) and the meat inside is still perfect and moist. For pork, I love the loin cut due to the fatty bits which melts in my mouth. 🎉 The mentaiko halibut is absolutely gorgeous with the fish meltingly soft and buttery (think cod) with the wildly likeable mentaiko sauce on the top. This combination wipes out the rice in my bowl in an instant. The shabu shabu soup was also flavourful especially when you add all the ingredients in. Definitely the most satisfying Japanese meal you can find in jurong!

This is one treat that you must eat in a flash! This fish-shaped pancake stuffed with your choice of filling (custard, matcha, red bean, chocolate) is slightly crispy on the outside and mochi-kinda chewy on the inside. Would skip having the ice cream and the works next time as it melts in a flash due to the warmth of the pancake. But I'm definitely getting just the pancakes in various flavours the next time! :D
