Chasyu Ramen in Pork-based Soup $11

                                                                        Meat Gyoza $5

Kaisen Kaminabe (Miso Base) $14
love the miso base soup! seems more tasty than the spicy base one
prawns, crab leg, mushrooms, tofu, scallops, vege
  
Zuwai Crab Rice $12
tasty fried rice. not bad


Hotate Misomayo $6
                                                        miso and mayo on scallops. creamy
   


Dai Dai Roll $12
what a cute name! :)
salmon, mango, crab sushi roll

Beanstro by The Coffee Bean



Today's Brew $4


Asparagus Soup $8
super salty, cannot taste the asparagus :( super not worth it




Roast Chicken Penne
so-so




Roast Chicken Summer Salad
vege tasty enough as they added sufficient dressing, probably olive oil and vinegar, to coat the vege
like for the penne above, dun know why they call it roast chicken when it's chicken breast slices without skin


Mushroom Quiche $7
mushroom, capsicum, cheese in tart

not recommended as prices are super ex, for food quality that's average or less than average(soup)
service wise- we had one spoon that wasnt clean (wonder how the staff actually overlooked that food stain and set the spoon on the table), coffee came without stirrer, staff asked if to clear the salad plate from the table when the plate was apparently still filled with salad. wow.

Zhou's Kitchen


tofu with spinach and mushrooms $12
too expensive for four pieces of tofu. the homemade tofu was smooth but otherwise nothing fantastic

crispy skin chicken(half)
normal


Heng Hua Wantons
like when heng hua cuisine got wanton leh, we never heard of it lor.
wanton was bland, disappointing
soup was ok cos there was much of fried garlic

Nan Ru vege
tasty, good with plain rice


Wu Xiang $8
crispy skin, tasty filling

the type of place we consider as "给它敲一次就不再光顾"

Kim's Family

                                          
perhaps due to the recent feature on i-weekly or it was already very popular, it was full when we arrived on a saturday night
we came across it when we had previously dined at Woori Nara several shops down 
the korean wave in singapore is evident, with customers waiting for their tables outside both Kim's and Woori Nara, which wasn't the case last time we went 

                            
the 11 appetizers, may look wow, though overall was rather average

                            
kimchi pancake
quite crispy, otherwise normal

                            
spicy rice cake
was little sweet and spicy, gravy rather watery
not to boast but feel that my homecooked version is better, at least to my own tastebuds

                            
zha jiang myeong
once again sweet. cooked with the gravy were some radish, potatoes, pork dices

                           
 spicy tofu soup
not very spicy nor flavourful

                          
 fried pork with rice
came late, only after the waitress realised we still have one more dish
service was rather slow, maybe the servers were new and/or the full house was too hectic

no doubt this restaurant is owned by a korean family and the head chef is the dad, we weren't very impressed with the food and find them average. so we can only conclude that probably we are not used to the authentic korean flavour, some dishes being a tad too sweet to us.
from what we saw on the wall graffiti written by the previous customers, they were happy with the food served there.

Korean Spicy Rice Cake


bought rice cake($6.9 for 600g) and pepper paste($7.9 for 500g) from sol-mart.
but! kena cheated! saw in a recent issue of i-weekly, the same pepper paste is sold for $4.9 at a korean supermarket at burlington square. wth. heart pain.
nevertheless, was fun to finally try it out

Nan Xiang Steam Bun Restaurant (南翔)



Lion Heads 红烧狮子头 $5.80
very bland gravy, meat was quite hard


Shanghai duck fried rice 上海酱鸭炒饭  $8.50
average, gravy a little too sweet


 Sour spicy soup noodle 酸辣汤面 $7
large portion, average soup


Signature gyoza 薄膜锅贴 $4.80
normal


Pumpkin cake 南瓜饼 $3.60
nothing much


Yam Pastry 酥皮竽泥卷 $5.20


Osmanthus cake 桂花拉糕 $4.20
not up to expectation

just thought it was weird to have the 'clear-up' trolley stationed in the middle of the restaurant within the sight of customers.
ordered fresh pork long bao and mushroom long bao, not fantastic. 

i think we would prefer to patronize their countertpart, DTF :p
