Ori-Udon @ the gardens

 having saw a picture of this on instagram, decided to try out this place. its the simple meal kind. i ordered the seaweed udon and i think i added an egg. everything was simple. i can imagine it being very satisfying on a cold day-like a porridge kind of thing. i guess i would say its good and cheap. less than 10 bucks for a meal. its not spectacular. because eveything was just so simple. but i think its the simpliicity that makes this a good dish. its not something id rave about, but if i want something simple, i'd be back.

ippudo ramen @ gardens

hany has been telling me about this ramen shop one too many times. so i decided its time to broaden my food tasting horizon and give this a try. its about time anyways. no regrets here. 

they serve appetizers, buns, rice and ramens. but what they are well known for is their ramen. you can select how you want your noodles cooked-from hard, to soft to very soft. i like mine hard. and it was really good. i would definitely recommend you to go for hard. i went for the karaka-men tamago which is the ramen, with pork belly, ground pork, spicy miso paste which translates to chilli oil, and ground pork with cashew nuts. this was so good. i whacked the whole thing i kid you not. i had the ones with egg which was a soft boilt salted egg. i liked it. the noodles, the soup, everything. 

i personally like how it came with sesame and chilli powder which u could add to give it more kick. 

yen ordered the normal one-which is shiromaru tamago. i think i preferred the chilli one. 

this place has gotten me into ramen. am planning to tryout other ramen stores to compare. but for now, i like this one alot. this is the from ny. m planning to try the one from japan one soon. look at how i whacked everything.

sushi tei @ midvalley/gardens

today for me was such a foodie day. i woke up with chocolate cravings like no tomorrow. i had all things chocolate. chocolate chip cookies. ferrero rocher. chocolate coated nuts. milo. and i had my normal toast too. i had way too much and was super stuffed. so i skipped lunch. just cuz i really could not fit anything in my tummy. 

but i compensated with 2 dinners. my grandmother was super semangat-ed to cook dinner tonight, and though i had dinner plans with lynn, i decided to have my dinner at home first. she steamed fish, made deepfried pork, and vege with prawns, oh and white fungus soup. 

okay on, to sushi tei. since i was already half full, i didn't order much. i ordered the unagi with egg and arrow roots, served on a hot plate. my default order when i come to sushi tei. if you don't know wad im talking about, look at the pic below. i thought the portion was a little small though. there was a mere 4 small pieces of unagi. for 20 bucks, i expected more. 

lynn ordered a salad to share. and i realized i really liked the seaweed topping so i ordered an additional bowl of wakame seaweed. super yummy. i haven't had these since london. in london, i used to go to this shop called tombo just for their seaweed. if you have not had these, trust me, it will make your world go round. i whacked the seaweed in minutes after it was served.
