HI PEEPS! How's it going? It's just the start the of the week, hopefully all's been good for you all! School life has just begun for the both of us. It's only Day 1 and work's awaiting; all the readings and practice worksheets.
One lecturer said "Learning in it's nature is painful, and it should be painful. Anyone who told you learning is easy is obviously not learning in depth." Judging by the lecture today, there's no need to beg to differ.
So before school started, MAY&FJ decided to chill at Nambantei before school throws it's weight and burden on us. They have like awesome Lunch Sets that May heard about and we went there even though the skies decided to cry on that very faithful day. Nambantei has been around for many years in Singapore and is celebrating it's 30th birthday this year!
It's a really cosy little restaurant located at the 5th floor. Business was brisk! It's a place where Japanese expats frequent as well.
We ordered a Yakitori Bento ($13.50), a Okonomi Yaki ($8), a Pitan Egg Tofu ($7) and 2 cups of Japanese Hot Tea ($1). We paid a total of $34.72.
We've included their lunch set menu here. They have other menus which you can check out on their website. (It had too many pages to include them here!)
Yakitori Bento:
- Their mushrooms were SOOOOO juicy! We were utterly amazed! It was soooooooo good! Honestly!
- Their Yakitori Sticks were well grilled.
- They had this stick of asparagus wrapped with a layer of Bacon. May absolutely loved it and she's no asparagus lover! The bacon's saltiness complimented the asparagus.
- They had this little cache of sauce that goes really well with their salad sticks that consists of a raw carrot, radish and cucumber. Awesome stuff that sauce!
- The pork skewer was a little dry.
- The meatballs were not bad. It had it's moisture retained, juciy!
- The dessert that came with this set was chilled Red Bean with Mochi. This dessert had no added sugar, red bean wholes were given and the paste was thick, and it came together with a chewy plain Mochi!
(Red Bean Dessert)
Pitan Egg Tofu:
- It's actually cold tofu. There was an eggy taste in it. We figured it was egg tofu.
- There was only a slight tinge of Pitan taste. It wasn't overwhelming.
- The Ebi Roe was fresh!
Okonomi Yaki:
- They gave GENEROUS servings of fish flakes,mayo and Okonomi Yaki sauce.
- There were uber loads of spring onions and cabbage in the flour as well.
- The Okonomi Yaki had a soft interior and did not lack texture. Heavenly~
Overall Advantage:
- Food's good!
- They have goof ventilation. We sat at the bar counter seats which was directly in front of their grills and we did not smell like barbecue when we left!
- Lunch Set prices are reasonable
Overall Disadvantage:
- They had to charge for tea and they forgot to refill it for us. (The staff apologised; there were too many to attend to that day, so wells~)
- Their A la Carte grills were rather expensive. You can check out the menu I've linked above.
Note:
- We would suggest reservations to be made, especially during dinner It's still alright for lunch, you can sit at the counter. But if you're bringing a big group we'd suggest you make that reservation!
- GST and Service Charge applies
We really loved their lunch bento sets! This is a place where MAY&FJ would recommend you peeps to check out for lunch! So if you all have sometime in town, here's a Japanese Restaurant to check out! Till next time you all!!! Stay safe and healthy! Best of all, enjoy life!
(We love you all ^^)
<3 MAY&FJ
