Man Man Unagi Restaurant

Today I will share with you about the famous unagi restaurant in Singapore named Man Man Unagi Restaurant.
 
I believed most of you in Singapore heard about this restaurant before, especially for unagi lovers.
  
Located at Keong Saik Road, this restaurant served fresh imported unagi supply directly from Japan. Want a prove? Please come to visit this restaurant. You can see there are a lot of living eels in the small pond, and the chef will cut the eel and grill it in front of your eyes.
  
I ordered Unatama Unagi Don (Una Don). It consists of 3 pieces of Unagi, Tamagoyaki, Soup and Pickles.
 
FYI, Una Don is a donburi type large bowl filled with steamed white rice, and topped with fillets of eel grilled. Tamagoyaki is a Japanese Rolled Omelette.

Unatama Unagi Don S$18.60+

I can taste the freshness and crispiness of the unagi from the first bite.
  
Japanese Rolled Omelette texture is also soft and tasty.
  
The only comment I had personally was that the portion was not balanced between unagi and rice. The unagi portion was a bit too less. In the end, I need to eat rice only as my unagi and tamagoyaki were gone. Maybe you may consider to order Medium Una Don :)
  
If you plan to visit this restaurant in a big group or in the evening, please come early to avoid the crowd.
  
Will I go there again? Yes.

Monster Curry

Calling out for a curry fans in Singapore. Have you ever try Monster Curry before?

If haven't, perhaps this article will make you crave to try curry at Monster Curry restaurant.

There are two things that make Monster Curry quite special compare with other normal curry restaurant. First is the portion that is very big like a monster size portion (plate size of 34cm in diameter). Second is that they offer 5 different types of spicy level: 0 Flame (without chilli), 1 Flame (Normal Hot), 2 Flame (Extra Hot), 3 Flame (Very Hot), 4 Flame (Super Hot), and 5 Flame (Monster Hot).

I try Cheese Chicken Katsu Curry with 1 Flame. As I cannot stand spicy food too much, I feel that 1 Level is spicy enough.  If you realized in the curry picture has heart shape in the middle of the curry, that's a chili.

The Chicken is crunchy and tender. The curry taste is very delicious. It's so tasty that I can eat the rice with curry alone :)

The portion is very big so it can be share for 2 people.

Cheese Chicken Katsu Curry S$14.00

For the drink, I try Japanese Yoghurt drink ($2.80). This yoghurt drink is very nice and have a sweet taste. It will reduce the spiciness that you feel inside your mouth.

Overall I am happy eating curry at this place.

Want to challenge yourself? You should try their 5 Flame. Maybe you can have a fire breath like a dragon :p

Please take note that this restaurant is very crowded, so you may foresee a long queue. You may see below picture to see how long the queue.

Will I go there again? Yes.

Pecori An

Wondering to try having lunch and dinner at Pecori An? Maybe this review can help you to decide.

Located at ChinaTown Point, Pecori An is a Japanese restaurant that offers quite a lot of range of Japanese dishes.

We tried Beef Hamburg set and Unatama Eel & Gee Set. Each set comes with soup, free rice refill and as many side dishes as you want. This set sounds promising right? But....don't be happy too fast..

After we ordered, we directly went to the booth to take soup, rice and side dishes. Surprisingly, that booth had empty soup and only had left over side dishes. Even the rice was almost finished. Below is the picture. You can judge by yourself. 

We directly asked the waitress to add the soup and the side dishes for us. She said ok but until we finished the main dishes, they didn't add the soup and side dishes.

For the food taste, Unatama Eel and Gee set was tasty. It was like home cooked and best to eat when it was still hot.

Beef Hamburg set was so-so. I prefer Unatama Eel and Gee set than Beef Hamburg.

Although Unatama Eel and Gee was tasty, but we were really disappointed with their service. Maybe it wasn't our lucky day. One thing for sure, I will blacklist this restaurant from my food list.

Will I go there again? No.

Beef Hamburg Set S$12.80

Unatama Eel and Gee Set S$14.80

Hakata Ippudo

Looking for a ramen restaurant near Mohamed Sultan Road? You may visit Hakata Ippudo restaurant.

Thanks to my lunch office buddies for celebrating my birthday at this restaurant.

I ordered Akamaru Shin-Aji set lunch. This set lunch comes with a drink and one side dish. They have three different side dish options: Gyoza, Mini Salad & Ice Cream, Karaage. I choose Gyoza for the side dish.

For this set lunch, there is also special combination topping to add on. For just $7, you may get Flavoured Egg, Simmered Pork Belly & Seaweed. Too bad that they served this special combination on separate bowl with ramen bowl. I prefer that they put together on the ramen bowl (especially for the egg).  It's because if they put altogether with ramen, the egg become warm and the meat become tastier.

Akamaru Shin-Aji ramen is not bad. The waiter tells us that this ramen is the most favourites dish.

FYI, This set lunch is only available from Monday - Friday 11:30AM - 03:00PM (last order at 02:30PM).

Will I go there again? Maybe yes.

Chicken Teriyaki Tenshin Han

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.

Soft Shell Crab Tenshin Han Set S$16.90

 

 

Their Gyoza is indeed stands for their reputation. It's really tasty. You must try this Gyoza.

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.

Brown Sugar Agarasa

Today I want to show you about my finding 'Brown Sugar Agarasa' on Okinawa Food Fair at Isetan Scotts Supermarket last month. 

Curious what is Agarasa? Agarasa is an Okinawan steamed sponge cake. Normally, they cook it with brown sugar, so Japanese people call this cake Brown Sugar Agarasa.

Brown Sugar Agarasa has a sweet taste that comes from Brown Sugar. It's very delicious.

For me, it's best to eat Agarasa when it's still hot. 

Brown Sugar Agarasa S$3.50

Ramen Champion

A few years back one of my reader "Anihe" requested me to review Ramen Champion, but I didn't have time to go there.  Finally, I managed a time to go there with my cousin last August.

Ramen Champion has unique concepts.  They put more than one famous Japanese Ramen sellers from different province together in one place. There are Menban Yamagishi Kazuo, Gantetsu, Muso, Bario and Ikkousha. They are competing to declare which ramen is the best among them during a period of time and Ramen Champion management will announce the winner of this competition. The winner will be determined by the most ramen bowl that they able to sell to customer during that period.

Me and my cousin ordered Hokkaido King Tonkotsu from Gantetsu and Special Ramen from Menban Yamagishi Kazuo.

I like Special Ramen more than Hokkaido King Tonkotsu Ramen. It's because the Special Ramen broth is tastier. Luckily my cousin ordering the Special Ramen and pity me because he only allows me to try a bit. :p

Will I go there again? Yes, I will try another Ramen.

Hokkaido King Tonkotsu (from Gantetsu) S$14.00

Daikokuya

Have you ever try ramen at Daikokuya? If you haven't, perhaps you can use this article as a reference.

Daikokuya is a ramen restaurant located at Riverside Village ~ Clarke Quay area. This place is nearby my office. I am having dinner at Daikokuya with my colleagues before going to Dhoby Ghaut to see some events.

Over there, my colleague orders Special Ramen and Teppan Mentaiko Yaki Ramen.
Special Ramen comes with extra Chashu and flavored Egg. The Chashu is big enough and the broth is not bad.

Teppan Mentaiko Yaki Ramen is a pan fried ramen with pork, fishcake and mix vegetables topped with mentaiko sauce. For me, the taste is still acceptable, but my colleague has different opinion. She prefers normal ramen (have broth) than pan fried one. Pity to her, she is regretting to order that one :p

I order Original Miso Ramen. This miso broth is delicious. I like it more than Special ramen and Teppan Mentaiko Yaki Ramen.

Will I go there again? Maybe yes.

Original Miso Ramen S$14.90++

Special Ramen S$14.80

Yumeya Japanese Restaurant

My office located at Mohamed Sultan road, which have a lot of nice Japanese restaurants. I worked there around more than 1 year yet haven't tried one of them. Finally I and my colleague able manage a time to try lunch at one of the Japanese restaurants named Yumeya Japanese Restaurant.

Yumeya Japanese Restaurant has an authentic Japanese style decoration. They decorate with many types of sake bottle and even the waitress wearing kimono. I guess they are coming from Japan as I heard they talked to each other’s using Japanese language.

Interested with their set lunch, we ordered Saba Shio Yaki Set and Sanma Shio Yaki Set. This set comes with rice, two vegetables side dishes, Chawanmushi and two slices watermelon.

My colleague said the Saba fish is nice. 

Although Sanma fish has too many tiny bones, it is not bad to try. For the person like me who don't know the technique to remove Sanma fish bone, you need to extra careful so you will not choke by the fish bone.

We are both agreeing that the vegetable side dishes are very tasty. I guess the key that makes these dishes so delicious is their sauce.

The only thing that needs improvement is their serving time. It took quite long time for them to serve the foods. For the taste wise, it's worth to try.

N.B: Set meal only available during afternoon.

Will I go there again? Yes

Saba Shio Yaki Set S$16.00
