MACCHA HOUSE @ orchard central

its hard to not q for food at central area on a weekend. we see that its the shortest q at Maccha House and we decided to dine here since we are a fan of matcha too! however, we are disappointed with the service and food here though.. food were served timely, but customers in the q were ignored even though there are available tables

this is what we have ordered..

 

Tonkotsu Ramen @ $11.99++

look at the egg..... so broken and the seaweed have turned soggy... looks like these was prepared quite sometime alr?

soup is quite diluted and noodle is overcooked

Chicken Cha Yuzu Soba @ $12.99++

the same, diluted soup and overcooked noodle.

its just a few small pieces of yuzu, and theres no yuzu taste in the soup

even so, i do like the traditional matcha.. matcha powder and hot water served separately.. matcha taste is so strong tt is so different from typical hot green tea

this is the menu

as the name Maccha House suggest, i believe the drinks and desserts will be worth trying instead of the main courses

📍181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central #B1-40 Singapore 238896

NIPONG NAEPONG @ 313 somerset

i believe you have seen quite a few posts on nipong naepong.. yes, its really nice and addictive that my husband and i will always want to go back

we came on a Monday night so we dont have to q! you will have for up to 45mins on a weekend

Seafood Cha Ppong

its still as spicy or i can say its more spicy today... and noodle is still as chewy

Tomato Ppong

this is what i have... its not as spicy.. very mild spicy i should say.. best for non-spicy takers like me

i actually drank all the soup! 😋

both at $16.90++ each

a Japanese restaurant by Aston

they serve mostly Japanese rice bowls 🍚 and sushi 🍣

food is nice and staff is friendly too

we had  

Butariki don @ $11.90++

though the bowl looks big, but portion is just nice for me... a generous amount of pork slices with onion and sauce
Chicken Nanban Set @ $12.90++ comes with salmon sashimi, koshihikari rice (to me is just normal jap rice) and soup

chicken is abit oily but its served hot!

soup is abit blend though

OVERLY PIZZA @ hougang ave 5

Pizza! 🍕

got a flyer (which is the menu) in my letterbox and my husband decided to give it a try..

thinking it was cafe, but actually no.. only pick-up and delivery available

Hokkaido Teri Chicken

its very rich in taste, and flavorful... its nice!😍 the sauce is special

Cheesy Cannonballs

as the name suggest, the "balls" on the pizza are cheese 🧀... cheese powder type.. if you like cheese, you will definitely like this!

Both regular, classic crust which I believe is thin crust.. crust is perfectly baked

this is the menu

got them at a promo price of 2 for $22.. which is quite big... more than enough for 2 pax.. if you sides, its enough for 3 pax to share

and according to the staff, these are the new pizza toppings

located at a void deck, abt 10-15mins walk from Hougang MRT

SHAKE SHACK @ suntec city

shake shack, was having such looooong q when they first came to Singapore at Changi Jewel.. q wait can be up to 2 hrs or so! of cos im not one of them contributing to the q..

gradually, more and more branches were opened

and here we are, at Suntec City branch... there was a q too! but definitely not tt long.. we waited for 20+mins.. the seating capacity was quite large so the q actually do moves..

mostly serves burger (abt half are beef.. so if you dont take beef, not much choices left), hotdog bun and fries

size of burger is slightly smaller than McDonald's

Shroom Burger @ $10.80

a few pieces of portobello mushrooms in a breaded patty.. abit juicy from the mushrooms 🍄 

prefer this to the other

Chick n Shack @ $9.20

chicken breast breaded patty

home cooked PASTA MUSHROOM SAUCE LINGUINE

i'm a lucky winner for a giveaway by @foodxervicesinc for assorted packs of pastas, and this is one of them.. my favourite Linguine

im using this to prepare mushroom sauce linguine!

heat oil and garlic

pan-fry sliced 250g mushrooms.. im using button mushroom with salt and turmeric powder

dish out

in low heat, melt half a tablespoon of butter in pan and add (250ml milk mix with 1 tablespoon of flour)
stir, add salt + pepper + turmeric powder (optional) till mixture is a bit thickened

add mushrooms in and mix well.. set aside

place linguine into boiling water for 8 mins (according to package instruction).. dish out into frying pan with a bit of oil 

add in the mushroom sauce and mix well with low heat

and its ready to serve!

MANNA KOREAN RESTAURANT @ city changi point

Changi City Point is rather empty, so dont have to q for food

Seems like only this restaurant has q, so we went to try and also thinking if the food can replace my favorite Yoogane which alr ceased operation in SG on 1 Nov2020

this is what we were served when we sat down.. kimchi, ikan billis, cabbage +cucumber salad, bean sprout + beans

O-Bulgogi $19.80++ served with rice and soup

soup is abit cold though

3 options available (beef, chicken or pork)

I chose pork and its not bad but still not as good as Yoogane but there's much more ingredients and portion is bigger too! There's emiko mushroom, onions, vermicelli, squid.. it enough for 2 pax though it's stated 1 pax

Jjamppong $14.80++

quite generous amt of seafood

however, felt the noodles a bit too soggy and the soup too salty

If you see my older post, i prefer Jjamppong at Nipong Naepong though it's more pricy

only 3/4 filled barley drink @ $1

Overall, find the food too salty.. and yes there is msg!

Hokey poki @ paya lebar quarter (plq) add pic

We were at Paya Lebar, looking for dinner and saw this Japanese restaurant at PLQ

Small and simple with comfortable sitting

Everything in the menu just looks so nice! There's don, sushi 🍣, sashimi, salad 🥗, burgers 🍔, udon, maki... A very wide variety but I see most ppl are eating don... read further for the menu

Saba Teriyaki Don @ $8.90++

portion is not very big.. just enough for a small eater.. the portion of Saba fish is reasonable with sufficient sauce and seaweed makes it even nicer

however, my husband was saying tt this may contain msg.. so we were kind of disappointed..

Chicken Mentai Burger @ $12.90++ 

looks good ya? 😍

Served with fried fish skin? But it's not really very crispy though

A piece of grilled chicken with much mentai sauce with a sunny-up 🍳 between buttered charcoal buns

i definitely recommend and will come back for this! 👍

Korean Pancake @ $4.90++

its very thin..but as this price, cant expect much

theres a small piece of prawn in the centre and the rest are flour with spring onions i guess

but pancake is well made, so crispy, topped with mayo, mentai sauce and seaweeds!

a pot of hot green tea (enough for 3-4pax)  @ $3.50++

address: 10 Paya Lebar Road #B2-26 PLQ mall Singapore 409057

NIPONG NAEPONG @ 313 somerset

I'm back for Korean ppong and iron plate rice! Had pizza during my previous visit (can see my previous post), so today tried something else.. most of the dishes are seafood and spicy..

Hallasan Volcano Iron Plate Rice, $14.90++, looks good ya? 😋
This dish is spicy!! 🌶️🌶️ But somehow you will still want to eat it!

The rice is mixed with seaweed, ebiko and pickled radish...

served with 2 small portions of kimchi, adding the level of spiciness with a sourish touch

top with this special spicy sauce served separately (there's minced pork, onion, etc) to pour it over

caution: its this sauce tts spicy! dont pour all of them first!

i like the soup of Cha Ppong! So today we tried another soup based ppong - To Ppong Tomato 🍅 $16.90++
This soup is not spicy and the noodle is still so nice, springy and chewy!!
