Today's post is gonna be a short and sweet one^^ Sharing with you all one of the best places to have cheap chirashi and reasonably priced sashimi. Sukuraya Fish Mart has three outlets in Singapore; one at Parkway Parade Mall, Anchorpoint, and West Coast Plaza. The one May and I visited together with Joey was the one at Parkway Parade.

The menu is included at the bottom. We ordered a Special Chirashi Don ($20), Bara Chirashi Don ($15), a Chirashi Don ($14) and some fresh catch of the day off the counter. In total we spent about $70 in total which was rather reasonable. I went back another time and had a Salmon and Salmon Roe Don at an offer price of $12! (They usually have some promotions there which are value for your money! You should keep a look out!)










Chirashi Don:

  • All raw fishes and prawn was rather fresh.
  • Portion was absolutely reasonable.
  • Amount of raw fish given was really reasonable.
  • Amount of seaweed was enough to have some seaweed at every bite of rice.
  • There was a thin layer of grated egg slices covering the rice at the bottom of the raw fish which was a lovely touch.

Fresh Fish off the counter:
  • Prices are supposedly wholesale prices. But to be honest, it just feels like the kinda price you can get from any of your supermarkets.
  • The only difference is that they can give you a sashimi cut. We gave them instructions to separate the fish to three portions which resulted each slice of the fish to be too thin and each slice had a different slice which was a waste of a good slab of fresh fish.
  • So we advice you to allow the chef to do as he pleases without giving much instructions hahas.

Overall, we would say that this is a must go! The food there is soooo good!! Doing a mid night post makes me hungry!!!!!!!!!! Bahhhh~till next time!

Hello!!!!!!!!!! IT BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ANYTHING HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THIS BLOG. HOW HAVE YOU ALL BEEN?!?!?!? To be very honest, the NOM review has been hanging for quite some time for both May&FJ. Exams were a torture but we are finally FREE! Instagram would tell you that! (This sounds so similar to the last post we've made)

Anyway, coming back to NOM, we actually visited this place to celebrate dear HY's birthday! It's located quite farrrrrr away from the city areas and quite hard to access. But we urge you not to be detered by this. The food and prices there are so worth the hunting down of this place!!!! Below are the menu photos.




We ordered: Iced Cookies and Cream Chocolate ($4.90), Hot Caramel Chocolate ($4.90), Hot Salted Caramel Chocolate ($4.90), Wild Mushroom Soup ($3.90), Slow Roast Bird Leg ($13.90), Half&Half Pizza ($16.90), Sweet Potato Fries ($5.90), and one Rainbow Salted Caramel Cake ($7.90). The bill totaled to: $63.20. That was about $21 for three people!

Drinks:
  • Iced Cookies&Cream Chocolate: was one of the popular drinks and I can see why. It was nice and had cookie bits in it! It was meg!
  • Hot Caramel Chocolate: It only had a tinge of caramel in it. Not thaaat sweet.
  • Hot Salted Caramel Chocolate: Slightly salted only. Chocolate is thick.

Wild Mushroom Soup:
  • Puree enough.
  • Portion worth the money! It was very reasonable.
  • They had onions inside, giving it extra flavour!

Slow Roast Bird Leg:
  • Their mash potato was made from REAL potatos grated into mash. (Some places give you the powered version which was ewwwww)
  • The potato skin inside the mash adds to its chewyness.
  • The chicken leg was slightly dry at certain parts.
  • But the combination of meat and cranberry sauce was ultz!

Half&Half Pizza:
  • We had smoked duck, and portebello.
  • They had loads of cheese in it. (Spammed)
  • Smoked duck was good. It was hidden under a layer of cheese.
  • The tomato did not go very well with the smoked duck and cheese.
  • The portabello pizza was a disappointment as the portabello was too thin and dry. It lacked the juiciness that portabello mushrooms are famous for.

Sweet Potato Fries:
  • It was very sweet as they dashed sugar over it.
  • The slices were fat.
  • It was a VERY addictive snack.

Rainbow Salted Caramel Cake:
  • For those peepos that said Coffee Daily has the best rainbow cake that costs $10. Wells, let us tell you something better. NOM has a better rainbow cake that costs only $7.90. That's almost $2 lesser than Coffee Daily. (Beat that. Hah!)
  • The cake was moist and soft, and it was not very sweet.
  • The cream came in a reasonable amount.
  • Better still, the presentation was ultz! (I heard that they DIY their logo on those pans)

So what are you waiting for? Should we further entice you by saying that all prices are nett? And that their service staff are excellent? Aboslutely lovely people. Head down to NOM soon!!!!!

Till more food to come.

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S BEEN A MEGA LONG TIME SINCE MAY&FJ UPDATED THIS SPACE! WE MISSED YOU LOVELIES SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Hugs and kisses to you all for keeping a look out on this page even though the last update was a month ago :O the horror of exams has taken a toll on the both of us! But if you have been following our instagrams, you'd realized that the both of us are still out eating and posting photos, just not much on the blog as of now!

But worry no more! We are back to do a post on a famous buffet place: Kiseki! I am sure many of you peeps have heard of it! My mum went over there for a primary school mates gathering and was raving about that place so May and I had to go down and take a look. We went for a weekday lunch with HY and did not make a reservation (dumb on our part for thinking there would be not many people eating a buffet on a weekday). There were two queues! A reservation queue and a walk in queue, having not made a reservation, we queued at the uber looooooooooooooong walk in queue, it took us about 30 mins to get in that day. It wasn't that bad considering the length of the queue. But this just tells you how popular this place is!

This link here takes you to their pricing page. We went on a weekday for lunch hence we paid about $23.50/person.






Just a sum up of what they have for their lunch buffet: 

  • Skinny Pizza slices
  • Spaghetti 
  • Fried rice
  • Hot Pot Boiled soups
  • Chwanmushi
  • Sashimi
  • Sushi
  • Tako balls
  • Salads
  • Tempuras: prawn, pork, fish, vegetables etc
  • Japanese Grills: mushrooms, chicken, pork
  • Desserts: cakes, waffles, ice cream, jellies, chocolate foundue and fruits
  • Stir Fried dishes
  • Oden
  • Japanese Vegetables

What do we recommend you to have there:
  • Sashimi: It was the ultz! The three of us had SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Think we had about 30 or more.
  • Hot Pot Boiled soups: sooooooooooo good!
  • Tako balls: nothing ever goes wrong with tako balls, they were delish!
  • Chwanmushi: even my mum had several helpings of it! It was good! So worth the stomach space!
  • Onden: The japanese fishcake was chewy! So worth trying some.






What do we recommend you not to have there:
  • Fried Chicken: its something you have to take the liberty to order; which tasted dry and was hard in texture.
  • Stir fried vegetable: not a must, and not thaaaat healthy either (there's always a salad to substitute it)
  • Rice and Spaghetti: take up sooooo much carbo and stomach space =  not value for money
  • Desserts: the cakes were horrid, the waffles ain't Belgian waffles, the chocolate from the chocolate fondue did not harden at all. It was rather weird.
  • Wasabi: It only had the taste, but was not spicy at all.




Overall impression of Kiseki, if you know what are the best grabs you're money would be worth it. I heard that dinner's spread includes scallops (my fav!!!!), a western grill that had many harping over, and a wider seafood selection. So dinner actually seems more worth the dollars!

That's all on Kiseki! Do feel free to share with us your thoughts on it and recommend us places to go too! Those taking exams soon, all the best! MUG ON!

RAMEN KEISUKE TONKOTSU KING FOUR SEASONS

Helloooooo! How's Valentine's day yesterday? May&FJ spent the afternoon covering Ramen Keisuke^^



I was introduced to Ramen Keisuke about a week ago by a friend of mine and I absolutely fell in love with this place after that. It's a Japanese Restaurant that serves you ramen only (they do have a couple of fried rice as side dishes as well), and you get to customize it according to your taste preferences.




Plus, they provide free hard boiled eggs and seasoned beansprouts for customers. They also provide you sesame seed to be grinded before putting it into the soup. (HonestlyI had a lot of fun playing with that last week when I was there.)




May decided on the Summer Ramen with all additional toppings ($13.90 + $4) and I settled for the Autumn Ramen ($12.90). We paid a total of: $36.25. Here's the menu for you peeps to take a look^^






Summer Ramen + all toppings:
  • All toppings consists of: Flavoured Egg, a huuuuge piece of seaweed, and Stir Fried Pork. 
  • Taste of soup and noodle texture was set at normal. Chicken oil was set as less oil.
  • The molten egg was LOVEEE~
  • Seaweed was a huge piece. It's worth it and value for money!
  • There was a generous portion of stir fried pork. It was well seasoned and goes well with the spicy minced pork in the ramen.
  • The ramen itself comes in a spicy soup base, two large pieces of char siew, two pieces of black fungus and spicy minced meat.
  • The noodle texture was Q enough.
  • The black fungus was crunchy.
  • Spicy minced pork was a unique twist compared to the usual minced pork.
  • Dear Maymay suggests that you can order this combination if you're a HUGE eater.


Autumn Ramen:
  • Taste of soup and noodle texture was set at normal. Chicken oil was set as less oil.
  • The ramen itself comes in a nice flavory soup base, two large pieces of char siew, two pieces of black fungus, minced meat and mushrooms.
  • The minced meat and mushrooms brings out the flavor of the soup.
  • The char siew was well seasoned. You can taste the herbal taste at every bite which I absolutely love!
  • Ramen texture was Q.
  • The portion size was rather huge for me. I was sooooooo full, you have no idea just how full I was.


Overall, May&FJ feels that the ramen here is worth you dollars. It's a definite must try! We really love their stuffs here. That's all for today's review lovelies^^

(Here's a picture of the girl who gave me a lovely sunflower^^)

Happy Valentine's day to all^^ (to those who celebrated yesterday and to those who are celebrating today!) For the ladies, may you receive a nice bouquet of flowers. For the men, may you receive the love you have been dying to get!

Till next time ^^
