Great Lunch deals
2018-04-28  41 瀏覽
There are quite a few branches of Sapporo Ramen Miso No.1 but at the Diamond Hill and TKO branch, they have curry on the menu.During lunch they serve the ramen and curry set which is really good because the size of the ramen is huge and you get a mini curry rice with it.

The ramen broth was surprisingly good because there was a strong miso taste and the ramen absorbed it well hence it was all tasty.
Also had the stir fried liver with spring onions which was quite Asian but the liver was slightly over done.

The mash on the side tasted a bit funny because the butter was too overwhelming.
Finished with the gyozas which were fragrant with lots of chives in it.

[Review 6527] K-Style moule frites @ The Joomak

Moules-frites is a popular main dish of mussels and fries from Belgium which is also a favourite in France.
As a fan of this dish, I decided to try the Korean version at The Joomak which is served with fries or Sweet potato fries.
The mussels are either cooked in kimchi tomato or Makgeolli butter sauce.


I chose the Makgeolli butter sauce because I liked the idea how they used rice wine to replace white wine.
The mussels were huge and meaty whilst having an impressive springy texture and the sauce was fragrant and light.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, you can get free refills but you have to reserve that in advance so that they have sufficient supply of mussels and fries to serve.
I also had my favourite Kale Pancake which you can only get at Joomak and added extra bacon for +$8 to give it that slight saltiness and smokey flavour which worked really well.


Finished with the Turmeric latte which was a bit like Masala Chai but better because I love Turmeric.



Will come back again with my vegan friends for the vegan menu.

This is probably the 10th time I've dined at Burgeroom.
I always come here for the huge salads, guacamole fries, twisty fries and other snacks.
The only thing that this doesn't have is dessert which I hope they will add to their menu.

My first ever visit to Burgeroom was when they were located on Caroline Hill in this tiny place that only had 10 seats.
I remember having the oyster burger so I decided to order it again to bring back some memories.

Started off with the salad which is always a big portion dressed in Japanese vinaigrette.
The chicken wings were crispy and fiery.
I thought they tasted great with or without the sauce.

Although my oyster burger wasn't as photogenic as the lobster burger or beef burgers, it was delicious which was what I was there for.
There were four juicy Hiroshima oysters in the middle.


I will be back more often because I found a quick short cut by going on the escalators near emacks and Burgeroom is just on the corner when you get inside the mall.

After trying the Singmalay Tea treats, I almost missed a stylish Happy Hour if I didn't see this glam poster on the way out.

I have to admit, I was lured back by the digital promotion near the concierge.
At the Lobby Bar Counter, there were these beautiful ceramic Qipao figurine jars.

There are four signature cocktails to wow you!!

I tried the Beer Milkshake while my friend had the China Lady:
The Beer Milkshake was a fun concoction of Chocolate Ice Cream, Porter, Milk, cream, chocolate sauce and topped with an Oreo.

The China lady was very feminine and Oriental with Chinese liquers like Shochu, Plum Wine, Lemon Juice, Maple syrup, Pasteurized Egg White and and Cucumber.


I definitely enjoyed my girly time here and can't wait to come back to try the Pina-Kale Ada and Singapore Sling!!

Discovered this place after eating at a joint nearby because of the lovely aroma.
Finally went there to try it as it was featured on some newspaper.

Cute hooks in the form of chairs:

Started off with the noodles.
There are two types of noodles, the egg noodles or Guizhou noodles which are white and thick.
++++
Guizhou Boiled Beef Rice Noodles:
Tried the broth first and it was really rich as it was boiled with lots of bones.
The noodles hung the broth well and these thick noodles were soft and springy.
As well as beef, you will find pickled vegetables which have a lovely crunch as well as a balanced sweet and sour taste that go really well with the soup making it less oily.

++++
Hot Kuding Tea:
For drinks, I had the signature Kuding tea which was sweetened just right with a slight bitter aftertaste.
It was really soothing and said to help digestion.

+++++
Finished with this pretty Guizhou Rose Jelly that was packed with sesame and rose petals.
Definitely the dessert to finish with especially if you had the spicy noodles.


Will be back for the other noodles!

As a Tea lover, I have always wanted to try the tea at Cha Long.There was a pop up booth at Hysan but I just never made it.

Anyway, finally got my oolong tea.
There are three different types, normally I get the Highland Oolong but I was recommended the Roasted Oolong for a stronger flavour.
Unfortunately the tea flavour wasn't strong so I hope to try the Highland oolong next time to compare  with my regular tea joint.
Luckily, the drink came with a bag because the contents seem to leak.

Got these parsnips from Eat East, all the water content has been drawn out hence they are a bit dehydrated when you re heat them in the microwave.
The taste was sweet but the texture is slightly woody, so next time when I get these frozen products, I will probably let it thaw and then heat it in the microwave for 1 minute.
