First Stop: Marutama Ramen
 |
| Limited Edition: Ra-men Zenbu-Nose |
Am familiar with Marutama, so was delighted that they've actually created something new for this food tasting trail.
 |
| shop front |
Specially assembled for the Oiishi Wednesday Food Trail Special:
 |
| Ra-men Zenbu-Nose (U.P $18) |
This bowl of chicken-based ramen has it all. Kakuni (stewed pork belly), chashiu (sliced roast pork), aosa (seaweed), negi (spring onion) and ajituke tamago (half boiled seasoned egg).
 |
| springy noodles and soft stewed meat |
 |
| ajituke tamago |
The chashiu was really good with adequate melt-in-your mouth fats ratio. And its seasoned half-boiled egg was just the way I liked it. Strong soy flavoured yolk and soft-firm egg whites.
Second Stop: Shakey's Pizza
It's been so long since I last had Shakey's. So this food tasting trail was a good opportunity to get re-acquainted with the brand. Did you know that Shakey's has been around since 1954? |

For this Wednesday Food Trail Special, Shakey's offering selected dishes from their regular menu. Usual price for these items are between the $19+ range.
 |
| Slim Trim Caesar Salad (@$4.80) |
 |
| Spaghetti Carbonara (@$13.80) |
 |
| Hula Hawaiian Classic Pizza (9-inch, $18.80) |
The pizza at Shakey's didn't disappoint. It was really good. The Hula Hawaiian has a chewy bite and full of cheese flavours. In my midst of enjoying the Hawaiian, I had forgotten to try the Oishi Wasabi Premium Pizza ($19.80). By the time I wanted to, it was devoured clean. What a bummer!
Usually one doesn't associate ribs with a pizza place, but Shakey's has it!
 |
| Shakey's Baby Back Ribs (full slab @$19.80) |
 |
| meaty bones |
Liked that the ribs retained some bite as the meaty flavours permeates as one chews.
It's a hard toss between ribs and pizza. But one could always share to enjoy both.
Third Stop: Saizeriya
 |

Saizeriya appeals to the budget conscious and it's a family-styled restaurant where one could order western-styled food. Usually thronged by students.
For this Wednesday Food Trail, Saizeriya is offering the US Sirloin (U.P. $11.90), salad and a free-flow drink bar (U.P. $3.90).

Drink Stop: Thirsty-The Beer Shop
Yes, we were indeed thirsty by the end of our third stop. Thirsty for a beer. |
| lots of choices |
Diner** who had bought the Wednesday Food Tasting Trail coupon, is entitled to a free beer/cider worth $6.50.
 |
| we're friends, so we share |
With so many selections, we're all spoilt for choice. Of course the price range will help to narrow this down. It sure is colourful in there with so many brands of bottled beers.
