MEN-ICHI JAPANESE RAMEN @ nex

Men-ichi serves mainly ramen and some don

various choices of soup such as tonkotsu, miso, shoyu.. and further choose between original, w garlic oil or w chilli oil
thick or thin noodles option available too!

this is what we had for ramen

Teriyaki Salmon Ramen @ $15.90

soup option is not available for this.. tonkotsu soup

4 pcs Cha Shu Ramen, tonkotsu soup w garlic oil @ $16.90

this is thin noodles

soup broth is not very thick.. garlic oil is not very strong too but its makes it more salty and oily then the original

cha shu is nice, quite standard

and thick noodles

teriyaki salmon doesnt seems to go well with soup

salmon itself is normal but soaked in soup makes it soft and soggy, no taste of teriyaki sauce too

if you know of the big Jap food chain R&S, dine and get rewards

so we redeemed this 2 items

chicken goyza

feels like its not cooked long enough for half of them.. or this is the way they do it.. half are more crispy and half are not

taste wise is average

corn salad 🥗

also normal.. quite a big portion for a side dish salad

rocky master

do not have a nice impression of Rocky Master after dining at Hougang1 branch 1 to 2 years back... so they serves local food (Laksa, chicken rice, etc), all day breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, pasta

i like the purple rice and the generous amt of mentai on the salmon... salmon by default is smoked, and i requested it to be more cooked

KUCINA @ kinex

its Christmas Eve and its crowded everywhere!

so we came to Kucina, a halal Italian restaurant located at a quiet mall.. Kinex

they serve mostly pasta, pizza 🍕 and some main course.. pizzas and pasta are not commonly found in other restaurants and cafes..

so many that we wanted to try... but theres limitation to our stomach.. so we had finally chose

Gamberi Germolata (Aglio Olio w prawns and anchovy lemon 🍋 sauce) @ $21.90++

4 choices of pasta is available.. and we chose my favorite linguine  

its not dry with lots of olive oil and pasta is just nice, not too hard nor overcooked

with the zest of lemon... makes this dish special!

Pizzotto @ $21.90++

a very nicely baked crust with turkey bacon 🥓, mushroom 🍄 and a sunny up 🍳 with tomato 🍅and mozzarella cheese 🧀 sauce

size is quite big, good for sharing... too much for a small eater like me

bread is very special! its not the normal thin crust but has the taste of baguette and bit of charcoal smell.. (its not oven baked?)

yuzu lime kucito @ $9.90++

nice drink.. fuzzy, lightly sweet and sourish, very refreshing drink

theres quite a number of nice desserts too!

here we have Tortino @ $12.90++
