11 June 2010 at hot tomato

steak with shrimp - charred exterior brought a slightly bitter flavour, but that was all to it. he think the ones at pepper lunch are much better.


got a chocolate milkshake to fatten her up - double whammy.


some thoughts, seating area is quite cramped and service could do with some improvement.

say cheeze @ 313 somerset

slept in again, so they had to settle for late lunch. headed to cuppage plaza for the 1st level japanese restaurant, but turned out they closed at 2.30pm, and only re-opened at 6pm. too bad, they had to settle for the new malls on the opposite, orchard central and 313.

while in 313, they walked past "say cheeze" and the black angus sirloin looked tempting. got a table for 2, ordered the black angus sirloin (medium well) and a tokyo pizza. she further requested for a doubly sinful milkshake, very very thick and at a cost of $7.90++...


the black angus sirloin steak $18.90++ - insides still looked tender red, but not bloody. this sirloin's a thick chunk, unlike most other sirloins that they've had before. both of them thought that it was good. she commented that the whipped potato tasted different but she liked it anyway. color's a little on the brighter side too.


the tokyo pizza that she wanted ($13.90++). crispy crust, almost like a biscuit. came with teriyaki chicken and those usual flakes of he-forgot-what-you-call-them, very enjoyable.


close up of the tokyo pizza...


service was prompt and friendly, attentively topped up water and cleared the table. would go back again for the steak, and perhaps pizza.

breakfast and dinner for 22 Dec 09

surprisingly, wife woke up much earlier than him today to prepare breakfast for him. made instant noodles with pork loin strips. she said there was a hidden treasure within it, and named it "nei you qian kun". he immediately guessed that it was an egg. which was the case anyway.


in the evening, he took a shuttle bus to plaza singapura to meet wife. turned out it was crowded due to some celebrities event going on. so they headed to pomo with the intent to try out either juju or tao's. she was disagreeable with the price, and wanted to eat at ishimura instead.

too hungry to argue further, they took a quick browse and he decided on some dishes, which were all suited to her taste. he's not picky anyway.

unagi bento $8.90
came with a bowl of cold but smooth chawanmushi, 2 chunks of toufu in sauce, cold mixed vegetables of corn and lady's fingers, some pickles and of course, unagi. quite good to eat, or was it because of his hunger?


beef patty omurice $5.50
beef in black pepper sauce seemed like premium beef to him (dreaming, perhaps), omelette had a puffy and moist texture, when he was expecting it to be dry. thumbs up for this dish.


scallop vegetable pancake $4.90
ordered this instead of the japanese pizza since they've already tried it the other time. 6 scallops on the top and wife scoffed at the decision to pay that amount of money for a vegetable patty of cabbage and corn. he found it okay though.


raspberry and mango milkshake $1.50 each
raspberry for her, mango for him. had sago in the drink, helped balance out the savoury tastes.


the next table by now was already gawking at their food. probably in disbelief that 2 people could be so greedy as to eat so much. the people couldn't even finish one set of their own food. little did they know they were to witness more gorging action...

mekajiki $4.90
fell in love with this after trying it with colleagues. gave in to his insatiable lust for food and bought a platter of swordfish. however, this didn't feel as smooth and the meat was rubbery, unlike the one he had the other day. wife agreed.


next, they went on a long shopping stroll in daiso before heading back to ntuc for groceries. by that time, he was already seeing stars........

grill and pasta, revisted, yet again

on a saturday, she suddenly had a craving for pasta. "head to sembawang hill food centre", she said.

order some variations that they hadn't tried before. seafood marinara and alfredo linguine. to cool off on that hot day, they ordered banana and papaya milkshakes. $2 each.

from the following pictures, you'll probably see that he wasn't feeling too good that day. ask why?

hers - alfredo linguine $5.50? the same yummy cream base. the similar slurp-up of her leftovers by him.


his - seafood marinara $6.50? zesty tomato sauce (different from the normal ones), nice variety of seafood. had squid, prawns, mussels, clams. however, the stall seemed to be using a different variety of clams that day, small and no protruding siphons.


the milkshakes, $2 each. should have ordered sugar cane + lemon, cheaper and more thirst quenching, as least for him.
