Bugis 📍

When my friend first told me that we were going to Fortune Centre to eat, I was apprehensive because Fortune Centre, with its dilapidated exterior sure did not look like a place where one can find good Japanese food. 🤔 But I've learned not to be too quick to judge for often, we find such food gems in the most unexpected places.

Tucked away in a little corner on the third floor of Fortune Centre, Japanese Curry Express looked like a mini coffeeshop. No frills, cash only place hence the affordable price tag on their food. (Yes, no service charge & GST!)

I ordered a bowl of the Salmon Mentai Don ($10) and upsized it for additional salmon for just $2 extra. The mentai was torched to perfection and complemented with fresh and tender salmon slices. The rice was sticky and had this slight vinegar taste that wasn't too overwhelming but just right, exactly how Japanese rice should be like. ☺️

I polished off the entire bowl in no time and was left satisfied, both tastebuds & tummy were happy 👍🏼 Definitely worth coming back for!

BEST bingsu ever!!!! Been to plenty of bingsu places but I still swear by Nunsongyee's cheesecake bingsu every single time. Digestive biscuits heaped atop soft and snowflake-like ice infused with milk and topped with mini lemon cheesecake pieces and a vanilla ice cream to boot. The snowflake-like ice tastes like milk with every single bite! Let it melt abit and it will taste even better 😍😍😍

I loved the ice creams because they were tea infused and the tea flavour was rather strong and to my liking 😍 Waffle was alright, quite fluffy but I've eaten better waffles eslewhere.

Now the highlight - Salted Egg Yolk sauce. It tasted good on its own but it doesn't complement the Waffle & Ice Creams I feel. Something is just.... off. Doesn't help that the sauce itself looks quite gross when poured out 🙊

Maybe it's just me but I just don't think salty and sweet go well together. Would come back for the ice creams and maybe try their waffle with froyo ☺️
