Singapore is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines, and one culinary experience that has found a special place in the hearts of many is the Japanese Izakaya. These traditional Japanese pubs offer a unique blend of sake, delectable bites, and a cosy ambience that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day or catching up […]

When it comes to Japanese cuisine, ramen is definitely one dish that comes to mind. The humble bowl of noodles in a savoury broth has captured the hearts and taste buds of people all over the world, and it’s not hard to see why. From the richness of the broth to the chewiness of the […]

Whenever I have a craving for sashimi, my go-to spot is Mitsuba Japanese Restaurant. They offer an all-you-can-eat ala carte buffet, so I can enjoy unlimited amounts of sashimi to my heart’s content. Previously, I used to frequent Shin Minori at UE Square, but their service standard was not up to par. Fortunately, Mitsuba has […]

I first came across Kura Sushi when I spotted a review on a travel magazine. After reading it, I was completely sold. Kept that name in mind and did a bit of research. Kura Sushi is actually a conveyor belt sushi chain that was founded in Japan in 1977. Today, they have more than 500 […]

After having an uninspiring and forgettable Salmon Mentai Don at some ‘not worth recommending’ place, I was determined to look for a good one elsewhere. Hence when I came across Salmon Warrior on Xiaohongshu, I immediately arranged for a lunch date with my foodie friend who’s a big fan of anything mentaiko. ? Location & […]

Had seen Kei Kaisendon several times as they have quite a number of outlets across Singapore. So when hubby and I were in AMK Hub to run some errands, we decided to go Kei Kaisendon for lunch. I actually asked the counter staff if I could swap out the rice for salad instead and was […]

Hadn’t been to Ci Yuan Hawker Centre for the longest time. Decided to come by to grab a quick lunch when I was in the vicinity but was surprised to discover my favourite Fatty Cheong Roast Meats had already ceased operation. Thank goodness their original stall at ABC Brickworks Food Centre is still in business. […]

Tendon Ginza Itsuki on Tanjong Pagar Road was the first Japanese tendon restaurant to open in Singapore two years ago. It successfully kicked off the tempura donburi trend here that got many people excited over rice bowls that were overfilling with tempura. And of course, it was just a matter of time before many other […]

Got a special delivery from Mizkan Japan. Really loved the beautiful and neat wrapping outside. Even the packaging materials inside the box had a mix of confetti and styrofoam beads which made unboxing a rather Christmasy affair, lol. I must say, Japanese product packaging is always impressive. It really reflects how thoughtful the Japanese people […]

Was at The Star Vista/Theatre two weeks ago for Yiruma Live in Singapore 2017 concert. I was so happy to finally get the chance to watch his performance ‘cos I missed it in 2015. Thanks to Hubby this time – he managed to get tickets very early. Nothing over the top – no special effects […]

Japanese food lovers in Singapore should be quite familiar with Teppei Japanese Restaurant @ Orchid Hotel (Tanjong Pagar) that is popular for its value-for-money omakase set dinners (require 6 months advance reservation) and bara chirashi dons. But what I really like is their takeaway counter, Teppei Syokudo, which is conveniently located at places including Takashimaya […]

I was at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to pick up my Dad who was getting discharged. We headed to the food court for lunch and saw that the place had undergone a major facelift and is now a 2-storey space that sports a clean, bright and trendy outfit. The number of food stalls has probably […]

Update (Aug 2017): This restaurant has ceased operation. Yokowa Japanese Restaurant has recently opened on Duxton Road. I was invited for a food tasting session last weekend to have a preview of what they have to offer before their Grand Opening Day on the 24 November 2016. At the moment, they are serving Kaiseki Bentos […]
