Discovered this place because there was a huge cute bear at the front.

Inside, it was spacious and colourful.
The menu had a good Western variety.

Ordered the garlic pasta with clams and the chicken burger.

The chicken burger was quite different and nice because it had a crispy breadcrumb coating and inside it was grounded chicken meat with cheese so it tasted like a chicken kiev.

The pasta was a dinner set so it came with salad which was romaine lettuce wrapped in ham.

The pasta had a nice strong garlic taste to it with fresh clams at the bottom.

For drinks, I had this blended fruit tea which was a mix of my favourite Jasmine, melon and lychee and it was not too sweet.

My friend had the mocha frappe.

I love ponderings so when I saw it on the menu I had to try it.
It comes with icecream but I prefer them on its own.
However, the pondering was disappointing because it came straight from the fridge so it was cold and they were too sweet for my liking.

Went here with friends for a Christmas treat!
Our Tsukemen feast was complete with Salmon roe, uni, slow cooked beef and foie gras!!!
Started with the uni and salmon roe tsukemen!
My eyes glistened when I saw that uni and orange salmon roe!
It was a mix of Canadian and Korean sea urchin.
The noodles were divine engulfed with the rich fresh uni and uni dipping broth along with the saltiness of the salmon roe.
The beef was also good, the lean and tender slices of slow cooked beef was just delicious.
There is a choice of truffle or tomato for dipping but I chose the tomato because it was appetizing.
It was good having both to share.

McD's have launched new stuff again.
The salmon burger was tempting but the chicken ham is just the ham you get in the croissants at McCafe.
Anyway, I went for fries because I wanted to try the new Yuzu pepper shaker.
The yuzu pepper was on the sweet side and lacked that citrus punch you get from the real Japanese yuzu pepper salt.

It was not even peppery as a pepper seasoning.

Went here to see the Matcha goddess as she was back.
Tried the new Matcha mousse cake and had the hojicha chocolate latte.
The matcha mousse cake was lovely and velvety with a strong matcha taste.
For drinks, the hojicha chocolate had a lovely balanced taste of tea and chocolate with a dreamy foam cap on top with sweet marshmallows floating about.

I always get my musubis from Hana-Musubi so I have never tried Ten Musubi.
Thanks to IVY for getting me this.
It was a moist juicy fat scallop embedded in the Musubi complete with the scallop edges.
The scallop musubi is on the sweet side.

Walked past and unfortunately my favourite Melty rich egg yolk was back so I had to get it.
++++
Melty rich egg yolk:
Basically it is rice with runny yolk in the middle.
It is best eaten at room temperature.
++++
Hijiki seaweed:
I also got the Hijiki seaweed because I like that seaweed but the seasoning was a bit too sweet for my liking.
