Miam Miam @ Westgate

Dinner at Miam Miam. Indoor seats were full, so we sat outside and shared table on a weekday.
The squid ink rice was of such a small serving when compared with say, spaghetti carbonara.

squid ink rice @$16.50++

seafood

The risotto takes quite a while to arrive and it's served piping hot. The prawns felt larger as the dish was so small! Firm and good. Rice was tasty but oily. And, loaded with sodium. Give it a good stir before digging in.

valrhona chocolate souffle @$13.80++

Chocolate souffle was nice, and scorching hot as well. Moist, cripsy edge and soft center.

Miam Miam is expensive and water is chargeable at 50cents per head.

天晴 Appare Udon & Tempura Japanese Restaurant @ Novena Square 2

Back at Appare, second time in a week. Liking the food and it has the least lunch crowd, comparatively.

Objective was to keep to a budget of below $15. Colleague wanted soupy option so she got herself a prawn tempura udon soup.

Was pleasantly surprised to see large prawns. Snowpea added a touch of colour to the dish.

prawn tempura udon soup

Mine was a beef rice bowl, served with miso soup. The beef slices were so tender, fatty and very good. Sauce was nicely savoury but not overly so, and the pickled ginger nicely matured and provided a little distraction from the soft beefy taste.

Enjoyed every bit of it.

good till the last grain

Not too big a serving but big on satisfaction. Yums.

Read about other dishes that I've tried during previous visits here , here, and here.

RamenPlay @ Velocity

Novena is sure getting crowded these days. Introduced a new colleague to RamenPlay, and this was the first time she's having an oyakodon.

corn miso ramen

Shall not have any ramen especially those Hokkaido type since I can get those in its origin place soon. Wheeee~

teriyaki chicken don set

The dishes at RamenPlay do look pretty, right? Lunch sets are served with either salad or agedashi tofu and clear soup.

closer look at teriyaki chicken don

It was rather unfortunate that the teriyaki chicken was dry.

Service was also harried, and requests for water were usually left ignored. Perhaps, a self-service flask at the table for diners to help ourselves?
