Stuffed chicken thigh meat with Ricotta cheese and mashed potatoes ($16.90). The dish was not too bad but wasn't filling.
Found this branch of the Michelin Bib Gourmand Mantenboshi in Shinjuku. Place can be alittle hard to find, given the complex layout of Shinjuku station. Serves western Japanese fusion food. More known for their omu fried rice (1620Yen). Omelette is amazingly even and soft, no chaotar spots at all! The jap curry also goes well with it. I used to scoff at tourists who come to Japan to eat western food but this is an exception!!
Shoyu Ramen (~1000Yen) from Konjiki Hototogisu. It's stated soba house but they actually sell ramen! Maybe cox the noodles resembles soba. Anw the broth has abit of sardine taste which is pretty common in Tokyo. Flavor is not too heavy. The charsiu is really nice! One of the best traditional charsiu I've ever tasted! No, it's not the pork cheek kind that u get from Santouka if u wanna ask. I think I screwed up my order cox mine doesn't come with tamago but with extra charsiu instead. But what the hell, I've got no qualms about having extra slices of the juicy pork meat. Located near Harajuku, this place is da bomb!!
The famous shio ramen(1050yen) from Menya Ittou. Broth is not too heavy. Noodles are springy. Charsiu tastes are kinda special and taste abit like ham. Wonder if they massage the pigs like how they do it with the wagyu cows lol. They are also famous for their tsukemen. Anw be there early if u wanna catch this. There was already a queue before their opening hours at 11am!
Listed as "The Special Unagi set"(4000 Yen) in the restaurant's menu, this hidden gem aka Funayo, is located in an ulu area of Shibuya. Unagi is specially roasted over a charcoal oven. Really sb fantastic! Gotta eat it to believe it!
Sardine broth ramen (750Yen for small) from the famous Ito Ramen in Ginza. Located in the basement of Tokyo Ginza Building, this ramen shop was awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2015! The sardine broth is really special and there is not oily like the traditional pork shoyu ramen. Noodles are springy the way I like it. The only qualms I had would be that the pork slices are kinda little albeit tender! Personally I still prefer the traditional shoyu ramen but it's great for a change of taste!
$5 single scoop; $8 double scoop; New gelato parlour tucked opposite the popular Penny University along East Coast Road. Pretty chill place to hangout if you stay around the area and got nth better to do.
$15 for med plate; That's like $3 per prawn! The pumpkin paste is thick and really fragrant. Batter is crispy and not too oily. Other healthy dishes include the prawn paste chicken and fried pork chop
$2.50/$3.00 (eating in); Takeaway $0.50 more. Generous portions of ingredients and the soup is not too sweet. The cold one comes with chunks of ice, not the shaven kind. This is the legendary Cheng Teng stall at Bedok Corner hawker (opp Bedok Camp). Former stall owner is a really funny uncle who will joke with all the customers that comes along. Sadly, he passed away due to cancer I think and now his wife and relatives are taking over the reins. Standard is still as good albeit alittle pricey for cheng teng.
$2.50/$3 Ingredients kinda little, just a lot of towpok. Laksa gravy is kinda spicy and less milky than the Katong one. Give this stall a try if u haven't cried in awhile.
Bak Kut Teh spare ribs ($8). It's the pepperish style kind. Soup is nice but spare ribs kinda tiny and little.
White Seafood Beehoon ($12). It's the wet style. The gravy is tasty and they r pretty generous with the seafood! Other notable dishes include the potato leaves, fried bean curd and ngor hiang!
