John, my colleague from Tokyo office dropped by SG office for the week. Always great to have him around cuz he is a food-lover, just like me ... haha :)
He always have this list of i-want-to-try-food-in-SG and I will be entrusted with the task of bringing him around to scout for the must-try food .... luckily he only comes to SG once in a while, I have my slim waist to think of :P
1st stop: Shokudo @ Raffles City Shopping Centre
We brought John there just to let him to experience the unique dining concept, for he can get authentic food in JP.
but, how come this Japanese warrior doesn't look as fierce? *his tummy reminds me of someone though, hahahaha *
Got a reserved tag to put on the table to shoo off the rest who are eyeing the seats (more "high class" than the tissue-paper reserve style in CDB area. hmm, maybe I shld try to sneak one of the tags out for my own use, hahahaha ...)
Looking around before deciding on what we should get ~
Finally, decided on the mains .... coincidently, Andrew and me went for the same stall - but in different flavours.
Yeah, me with my food! And, DO NOT mention anything about my hair, yes, I cut my fringe and its a bloody mistake :(
Tried the 弹珠 drink, but it's just like flavoured soda water. I think the peach one tastes better.
Some side dishes to go along; surprisingly, the mushroom are damn good/fragrant.
There's always room in the stomach for desserts! Check out the dessert counter ~
Desserts: so-so only. The crepes was kinda thick and soggy on its own; Andrew complained that the waffles were too sweet.
John with his red-bean and mocha ice-cream crepes
while Eric ordered his all-time fave mocha & red bean ice-kachang
2nd stop: Palm Beach Seafood Restaurant @ Milliena Walk
John wanted to try the chilli crabs, but I told him that the award-winning double baked crabs are better... so we are back @ Palm Beach ... my Nth time eating at this place... not gg to complain, since its on XXX tab :)
The guys looking through the menu while I have already decided that I want the crabs - see, fast & precise.
John with his coconut drink - he can't wait to feast :)
The super crispy fried squids ... just like eating crackers!
Was surprised that they serve satay with pineapple sauce until E&A told me that it was the norm during their times .... but it does taste good ~ new experience
bamboo clams - juicy and tender
the usual greens which I didn't touch
Prawn with beancurd and salted egg york - refreshing dish, though it's kind of salty
Who can resist taking a pic? keke
3rd stop: Mee Siam @ golden shoe
Brought John to the local hawker centre to try out our local breakfast. He's game for some spicy food, so I ordered mee siam for him ...
turns out that its REALLY spicy, hahaaa. He was 1/2 sweating while eating the food, but its damn shiok lo :) I should have taken the before & after picture for comparison.
Meanwhile, I will need to prepare a list of places/food for him on his next visit :P
