Sushi Tei @ Paragon, Orchard Road, Singapore.

At last, managed to try Sushi Tei, and boy what have I been missing!

Some mixed platter sashimi of salmon, salmon belly, tuna, and not sure whats the white on. Delicious.

Kaki mentai roll, melt in the mouth. Good stuff.

Some battered sotong/squid. Wished had some beers to wash down with this. Perfect compliment to a glass of beer.

Cha soba.

Dai dai roll, another roll must order. Sounds like die die must order!

The katsu that came with the cha soba. Beautifully crusted. Prices are decent, menu is extensive, and it taste good. I think I've found another favourite japanese joint:)

Ippudo SG @ Mandarin Gallery, Singapore.

One of my all time favourites ramen joint, and finally I reckon about time I blogged about it. Although I normally go to the branch at Mohammed Sultan, this round I was at Mandarin Gallery, and the standard maintains.

Some gyoza for starters, not bad pretty standard gyozas.

I've tasted a few versions, but my favourite is always the one with the fragrant garlic oil. Absolutely stunning. A standard bowl that comes with pork belly, fungus and spring onions and opted with hard noodles, add flavoured egg and seaweed.

In my humble opinion, I reckon the noodles here size texture is the best compared to others, not to thick and not to thin. Just nice. The broth? Wholesome and it hits the spot, love it to bits.

Another tip if you're a garlic fan, ask for fresh garlic and grate it for an extra oomph. Comfort food for supper? You can try this at the Mohammed Sultan branch.

Sugisawa Japanese Restaurant @ Robertson Quay, Singapore.

Robertson Quay, one of my favourite place to have quiet drinks, good food and people watching. And for some quick bites Sugisawa is definitely one of them. Good food with affordable prices.

Sashimi salad, I'll normally have this, generous portions, just nice after happy hours for something light.

Tonight was a bit greedy, had a gindara teriyaki as well. Nicely done, sauce was not empowering, and the fish was done well, loved the skin.

My mate had a bento set, think it was the hamburg bento. As you can see portions are decent, well priced for a bento, and it tasted good. One of my favourite joints in Robertson Quay.

Long Phung @ Joo Chiat Road, Singapore.

I'm still recovering from my pho addiction after my melbourne trip, I just can't get enough of it. This place is the closest I found in Singapore which resembles melbourne's pho. Might be of the chilli oil, packs a punch.

Mixed beef pho, and check out that chilli oil, absolutely yummy!

The broth is flavoursome, beef slices are tender, koew teow silky smooth. This place is one of my tops in Singapore for pho. I heard the other side dishes here are good too, I still have yet to try the cockles. Hopefully soon.

Poy Kee Yong Tau Foo @ People's Park Food Centre, Chinatown, Singapore.

It's been quite some time since I was here for food, so I was walking around, and I've heard of two infamous ytf stalls here, and boy was I in luck, this particular one had like 5 people queueing. First time I'm trying it, and it's good stuff.

  I did a take away, 5 bucks portion. Heh was being a bit greedy, think the smallest portion was priced at 3 sgd.

Nice al dente noodles, topped with a few ikan bilis(anchovies) and some greens. Just nice.

 And the ytf, nicely done, generous portions for 5 bucks, soup was beautiful, just what I needed for to cure my hangover. I have found another ytf stall worth to visit next time. Classic.

Hakata Ikkousha @ Tanjong Pagar, Singapore.

Another ramen joint spruced up in Tanjong Pagar, opened quite some time, managed to check it out the other day. I kinda like Tanjong Pagar now, so many japanese or korean food to choose from, especially if the queue is long.

The menu is quite extensive, various types of ramen, and some other sides if ramen is not enough.

Some pickles available for free or hard boiled eggs for the takings which is complimentary.

Now Hakata Ikkousha as of now has two branches, the other one being at Chijmes. But this particular branch, serves  a God fire ramen, an extra spicy broth with 3 types of spiciness! Well, might as well try the spiciest one which is x4 the level of heat.

Boy was it good, the broth was kicking spicy, still have that thick taste of soup, the noodles were done well, and the egg plus seaweed just added an extra depth to the flavour. I'm actually craving of it while writing this. Another ramen joint which is on my list to be back for.

The Merrywell @ Crown Towers, Melbourne, Australia

Had some time before my flight, was craving for some burgers, and found this one on google, The Merrywell.

Seems their burgers was voted burger of the year for 2012 and 2013.

Had some onion rings for starter, nicely battered.

Instead of the burger that won the award which was The merrywell burger, I opted for a K.I.S.S burger, something basic which I can relate to, and consists of beef patty, ketchup, mustard, onions, pickles(nice!), mayo and cheddar cheese.

Yeap it's pink in the centre, now this is what I call a burger. Delicious.

And to wash it all down, a pint of Peroni beer. Yums!
