Hanashizuku Japanese Cuisine

Last night, after doing a packed out sushi workshop at Marriott Vacation Club, Sinma and I headed to Hanashizuku at Cuppage Plaza for supper. It was already well after dinner hours, but the place was still packed with crowd. And the reason, I reckon is definitely because Hanashizuku is such a great place to unwind, especially after [...]

The New Cafe A971

Before I can digest off my last Japanese meal, I’m seeing myself in yet another new Japanese restaurant. Just this week alone, I have been hearing news of five newly opened Japanese restaurants from different sources. It seems like the weak economy climate didn’t slow down the rapid expansion of Japanese restaurant scene here at [...]

Secret Lunch Hideout Unveiled

I went Satowa Hokkaido Cuisine for lunch a few days ago. Satowa is actually conveniently located in the central business district, but that is an area that I rarely venture to, so I wouldn’t have ever discover Satowa if not for its advertisement in O-plus magazine. I later found out they have been around for quite sometime and I’m suspecting that the [...]

GOTO

I finally went GOTO for lunch today on the invitation of our dear friend Tim from Mizkan who is re-locating to England very soon. Why I said finally is because we have been talking about dining at GOTO for ages now. We first talked about going to GOTO was when we found out the place was [...]

Restaurant Chako

Shibaken

Shibaken has been around for a few months now. It initially created quite a stir within the Japanese community here because it is the first Japanese-style French restaurant to open up in Singapore. I have been very keen to try but never find the right time to. Last night I finally did, I went Shibaken [...]

Lunch @ KO

I happened to be in Bugis area today and was seriously craving for some sushi. I initially couldn’t think of a good place until KO came to mind. The restaurant was previously Suntory but ever since replacing Suntory at Hotel intercontinental, it has been much under the radar that I have forgotten about its existence until I was…………

Sui Japanese Dining

We popped by Sui for dinner last night after doing a corporate sushi workshop in Tanjong Pagar area. The restaurant was unexpectedly quiet on a Saturday evening. We were the only customers throughout our dinner there. Concerned about the quality of the food, we were very cautious with our order. Thankfully, the food turned out to be quite decent.

Tori no Mizutaki

At times when I’m suffering from over-work or maybe overdose of MSG-laden food from dining out, my body gives out signals with aches and depleted energy. At such circumstances, the best remedy for me is always cooking a healthy meal at home. And most likely than not, I will choose Japanese nabe. Because the wonderful thing about [...]

Yakitori Uma

Yakitori & Kushi-katsu Place
Yakitori Uma, I came to know this place from its advertisement in the Japanese papers. Even though, it is located in Japanese food centric Cuppage area, its exact spot is at one indistinct corner of Orchard Plaza that is rather low on foot traffic that makes you forget about it existence easily. But its quiet location

Takumi Tokyo

Rikobou Mushroom Salad
Last night, I had dinner at Takumi Tokyo with some friends. Takumi Tokyo is one of the new Japanese restaurants to open up at Keppel Bay. With several branches in Tokyo, this Japanese chain’s menu boosts a wide variety of Teppan-yaki and Robata-yaki dishes. The restaurant has two separate counters, one for Robata-yaki and [...]

Great Service!

I was surprised to receive this SMS yesterday. It read “Dear Jernnine-san, Thank you very much for your continuous support! We look forward to serve you again! Tatsuya Ronnie.” I’m not really a regular customer and don’t know Ronnie-san personally. This is the first time I received such a message from a restaurant and I thought it was a [...]
