Japanese - the way to go!
Right now, I am into Japanese food, which is kinda strange, cos I used to have a real aversion to the idea of Japanese food. I thought it was all raw food and frankly, for someone, who had food poisoning from sashimi before, you will not persuade me to have another go at sashimi. I always feel good after a Japanese meal - it is like a reward for a hard day and when you are done with the meal, there is a deep-seated kind of well-being inside you - none of the oily or jelat feeling that makes a meal all bad. Yums...

korean food better!!!!!!!!=)))))))))))))))))
hahaha...japanese food made u to have sore throat=)
must be the sashimi...too spicy and green!!!
korean food is still new territory. Must try it first before commenting. Since you seem to have tried it, tell me why it's great then. Be a food critic and convert me ") Sashimi gave me food poisoning - that was the week before the viral cold, but this time round is viral cold, uncle! ")
poor thing . rest well ms chong !
It actually calls itself an izakaya, though it seems more like a proper restaurant to me. They had the full works - the full restaurant menu. So much variety! I had a stir fried beef rice set and it was really yummy. H/w, the test for me is always the miso soup. This, to me, is the mark of a good Japanese restaurant. And I must say their miso soup is very full-flavoured with a really nice, round finish. It was a very satisfying soup. One can feel full drinking it, I think. And what did i say before - none of the oily & jelat feeing. Yes!
ok viral cold eh?drink plenty of water and stop eating japanese food=))))))))
hahhahahhaahhahhas.....
and i think ur voice is back so u dun have to "karAoke" wif the mike=))))))
take cares....
from ur frenly neighbourhood mr sunshine=)))))
most(not all) korean are cooked. so you can eat the food without worrying about food poisoning.
if you want to eat korean, you can go to any restaurant to try it out. definitely it will be nice.
however, the restaurant will cost you tonnes or money. so if you are afraid that you cant finish the food because you are not used toit, you may go to any foodcourt to try it.
kimchi is just like a cabbage with sambal chilli. basically, korean food are nice.
Haha, Mr Sunshine, the voice is still a bit rough, but it's lots better now indeed. Also, because it's on the mend, i need to be careful with it, hence the mike stays. I am starting to like it very much, because i dun have to strain my voice so much. Children can be very rowdy sometimes, u know ")
Abt korean food, I have tried kim chi lah. Do you guys think I am some sort of country bumpkin? ") Everyone has tried kimchi ") and definitely some korean food. It's ok. I am not hot over it. The one korean dish i want to try now is the korean grill. Will give you my update once i have tried it ")
Yesterday, we tried the Marmalade Pantry at Holland V for breakfast. We had the Sunday Brunch menu and it was quite an extensive list that they offer. So much variety that it was hard to choose; in the end, i had a crab linguine and Henry had a emmenthal cheese omelette. We also ordered juice blends each and because it was newly opened, they had a fabulous promotion of a toffee pudding drizzled with a generous serving of honey and accompanied by vanilla bean ice cream.
Henry has always liked omolettes, so I am not surprised that he made that order. However, at $14, I just found the omelette a bit ex to stomach. in any case, the omelette was done expertly - it was fluffy and light and the taste of emmenthal cheese was unmistakable. It was accompanied bby vegetable chips (carrot or sweet potato, I think), which was crispy and sweet. Henry and I were divided whether they were bought off the supermarket shelf or freshly cooked in the kitchen. I was for the latter, while Henry was convinced that it was the former. From the slightly oily feel and the shape of the chips, I stand unwavered that they are the chef's creations.
My crab linguine was a bit oily, thus making the dish a bit jelat. However, the aroma and the taste was much richer than the crab linguine I have tried elsewhere. I also like the fact that the tomato base came with nice red chopped chilli, so that the taste has a nice spicy flavour to it. If you like it hot like me, add a dash of ground black pepper and it makes the taste complete. My only major complaint was that compared to the other crab linguine that I have had elsewhere, the Pantry's portion was much smaller and thus left one rather unsatisfied. At which point, Henry reminded me that it left room for dessert...
For those of you uninitiated in vanilla bean ice cream, it is much much superior to vanilla ice cream. This is because it is so much richer, being made from vanilla beans rather than vanilla essence. You know it is vanilla bean ice cream if you can see dark specks in the ice cream. The whole taste is one that is fuller with greater depth. Trust me, once you have tried vanilla bean ice cream, you will not ever take vanilla ice cream again. So, if you have not tried it, head down to the Marmalade Pantry today - there's the branch at Holland V (their latest) and the original one at Pallais Renaissance.
