Ma Maison

This is a super backdated post because I totally forgot to write a review about them!

I went to the outlet at anchorpoint and they are not officially opened yet during that time! 

So the renovation and stuffs are pretty bad (there were thumb tacks everywhere?!!) and the service crews seemed pretty lost.

So I've heard about the tonkatsu at ma maison and that's definitely what I ordered!!

First up, tomato cream which actually tasted like hoshino coffee's tomato cream omu rice with mozzarella. Like seriously, legit. And it just happened that the friend that went to hoshino with me is the same friend that went to ma maison to dine (with me)!! So the two of us totally agreed that it tasted the same. lol

Dengdengdengdeng... 

My tonkatsu set! Which came with a miso soup, rice and salad.

I love the potato salad!! Omg it is so good but so sinful so I didn't finish it... I think? And I love the salad because of the sesame dressing!

The tontaktsu is good... It is not oily and it is super crispy!! You cant taste any batter at all and it is super tender. There's also sea salt and some sauce to go with the tonkatsu but I prefer mine on its own! But do give it a try!

And my friend had the hamburger patty or something which she regretted! The taste is pretty average and it is not worth it for the price. I mean.... you go to ma maison for their tonkatsu and not anything else.

So in conclusion: eat tonkatsu at ma maison

My maiden experience at thai express [review]

So I can't really take spicy food well and I'll usually need like a bigggggggggggg cup of drink whenever I eat something spicy! I'm learning to take spice though.. if not I'll miss out a lot of yummy food! Therefore this is my first time at thai express!! I've heard a lot of bad reviews about it though...

ps. I've never tried Mcspicy although it's the most popular mac food in singapore 

pps. I will wait for an eventful day to try it

First up, hor fun which my friend is/was having a craving for!! She said it's super nice (I was skeptical about it) and it beats pad thai hands down!

True enough, it's flavourful and there's the wok taste! I will eat this the next time I come to thai express!! 

 

 The thing about me is that I love green curry and I will drink buckets of water just to eat it. So whenever I'm eating thai food, green curry is my must order! 

The green curry seafood (you can pick seafood/chicken) was a little too sweet but the rice is yummy! Fragrant rice (probably due to the pandan leaf)

I have no idea what's this I think it's something with sukiyaki and glass noodle! 

 I have no idea what's this too! I think it's laksa or something! It looks SUPER spicy right? But to my astonishment, it isnt!

And then we walked over to Marina (technically, the citylink mall) and had llao llao! I had sanum for two days in a row! (I had it the day before at 313 and the price is higher, $6.50 a cup while the one at marina is $5.90 a cup, I'm boycotting the 313 outlet LOL)

I picked the wild berries sauce as I had rafaello the day before! The wild berries sauce goes well with the yogurt and it tasted like meiji's blueberry yogurt with extra raisins! I picked muesli for my crunch and BOY IT WAS AWESOME!! I'm never going back to caramelized cookies. The muesli comes with bits of chocolates and it's so good with the yogurt!!! 

okay done with my post 

ps. don't order melon with the yogurt it tasted funny

pps. don't judge my choice of food

Itacho Sushi

Hello! My MST's (mid-semester tests) are over and I'm here to blog!!

So judging from the title, yes I'm going to talk about itacho sushi! It is my favourite place to go for sushi because it offers competitive prices (they always have daily specials up to 50% off!) and of course, YUMMY FOOD! :) 

 Before I start with the pictures, here is a fun fact about itacho! 

Itacho is actually from hongkong and not from japan and some of the chefs (do I actually call them chef?) speaks cantonese while making the sushi!!

Ok.. before the pictures, I'm going to tell you something which you'll thank me for. I've been to the one at Ion, Bugis Junction and Plaza Singapura. And my first and only time at bugis junction was a major turn off. Sure, the place is much more spacious but the quality of the food is not up to standard!! I ordered the salmon mentaiko (the original priced ones) and the mentaiko that arrived is lesser than those if I order from the daily special menu! I WAS SO UPSET, I couldn't even taste the mentaiko in my mouth! 

 Let me show you how little it was... 

Look at the ones at the top. Especially the middle one, WHAT IS THIS???!! (These are the original priced ones, $1.60/pc)

And then take a look at the bottom one.. (daily specials, $0.60/pc)

The butter ones are quite tasteless!

 Look at the top right!! Fat chunk of mentaiko. That's how it is supposed to be. Talking more about the daily specials, you should go early to avoid any disappointments because it's on a whilst stocks last basis! Once I overheard two ladies beside me talking about how they have never ate the salmons from the daily specials before... and I'm eating mine. ^____^

And among all the salmon sushis from the special menu, I think the mentaiko one is the most worth it and yummiest!! Following will be the soy sauce ones!

I will usually try 1-2 different stuffs from their menu when I visit them! So this is what I tried during my most recent visit which was last/last last friday! I usually go to the one at plaza singapura because it is the nearest to me! :) So they changed their special menu and they had scallop (right in the picture)!! So.. of course I tried it. Not my ball of sushi... (pun?) the scallop is raw and it's weird.

And I tried the mango lobster one because my friend said it's nice! Yeap the mango is sweet and stuff but no I hate wasabi in my sushi and the wasabi is already premixed with the lobster salad :(

 Supreme eel sushi and shrimp sakura cheese.. Something along that line. I love eel/unagi but this was abit dry! And it's reallyyyyyyyy huge. The sakura cheese shrimp was a waste of money. But its okay!! Like what my bf always say, spend money to learn a lesson. [very forgiving when it comes to food]

And then udon with chicken karaage and salmon roe chawanmushi. The udon is a miss because it's quite funny tasting. Japanese food and western sauce... mmm 

I don't like the salmon roe chawanmushi as well! The salmon roe are salty and the chawamushi is sweet so it's quite weird!! Not to my liking. Order the scallop chawamushi!! Beats the crabmeat and salmon roe ones! 

Unagi sushi! It arrived apart, sadly. My heart were apart too.

I forgot what are all these already.. But I think it's not bad! Like not one of my must have at itacho but I will order it another time! 

Btw, when you spend more than $10/pax, the charge on green tea and wet tissue will be waived!! #cheapo

[continued]
last week I went to itacho again!! (plaza sing)

Look at the salmon!! The daily specials on top and the original priced ones below! I ordered a prawn mentaiko too because the bf said it's yummy. It is, indeed but it's priced at $5/pc *cries*
We ordered 20 of the normal priced ones... so $36 gone just for salmon

 Let's take a moment to appreciate salmon mentaiko

And.. I didn't thought I would like this but it changed my mind! This clam with butter and pepper ($4, on their special menu) is super flavourful! Wouldn't have tried this if not for my friend!

Let me share my razzi view on the must have! 

Salmon mentaiko ❤❤❤❤❤

Scallop chawanmushi ❤❤❤❤❤
