Osaka Ohsho

Looking for a nice restaurant at Plaza Singapura to have lunch and dinner? You may try Osaka Ohsho.

Osaka Ohsho is a Japanese restaurant that is famous for their Gyoza.

Over there, we try Chicken Teriyaki Tenshin Han set and Soft Shell Crab Tenshin Han set.

Each set menu comes with 6 pieces of Gyoza and soup.

Chicken Teriyaki Tenshin Han is delicious. Chicken Teriyaki is tender and the portion is also quite big.

Chicken Teriyaki Tenshin Han Set S$15.90
 
 
Soft Shell Crab Tenshin Han is also not bad. Although the appearance of the food image that I take doesn't looked delicious, but the taste wise is different. Soft Shell Cab is crunchy. It's really a delicious meal.

The soup is also not bad. Honestly, I don't like soup so much. Every time I go to restaurants that serve soup, I will not drink it. But, this soup is different. It's really tasty.

Other than delicious taste, this restaurant also has the friendly pocket price. With around $15-$17, you can get main dish, 6 pieces of Gyoza and soup.
 

Will I go there again? Absolutely yes.

Teddy & Me Cafe

Hi all, are you Mr. Bean fans? If you are, I have a good news for you.

I find one café with Mr. Bean themed located at Plaza Singapore. This café's name is Teddy & Me Café.

You may find many different types and different sizes of Mr. Bean`s Teddy Bear. This cafe decoration is also similar like Mr. Bean rented house (cartoon version).

FYI, If you don't know Mr. Bean, I will tell you his history.  Mr. Bean is a famous British TV programmed series starring by Rowan Atkinson as a main character. Mr. Bean character is similar like a child in a grown man`s body. Although he rarely speaks, but his act and the way that he solves the problem are very funny.

Ok, let's back to the review. I ordered Cappuccino and Yam & Read Bean Cake.

This Cappuccino has Mr. Bean's image. This is made upon request to the barista.

Yam & Read Bean Cake also has Teddy Bear image on the top of the cake.

Both Cappuccino and Yam & Red Bean Cake are not bad.

The only thing that needs to be improved is their serving time. It took quite long to serve cappuccino and cake.
 

Will I go there again? Maybe yes

Cappuccino S$6.00

Yam and Read Bean Cake S$7.80

As this foods categorizes as traditional Indonesian food, the way that they make this Gado-Gado is also using traditional way.
 
First, the seller need to create peanut sauce dressing. After that, they cut and put the vegetables and other elements. After that, they mixed it with the peanut sauce and put a little bit sweet soy sauce and some crackers. It's very interesting to see how the seller make this dish.
