The BBQ Short Ribs is really flavourful and tender with a sizeable portion of grilled asparagus.

All their ice-cream tasted very rich and flavorful (I know cos I shamelessly tried all that was on display) and for a single scope, their portion is relatively big. This is a place that will no doubt satisfy your craving for quality gelatos. Will definitely be back to try their cakes and pies!

The cuts of beef at Fat Belly are unheard of (for me) but are richly marbled with beefy flavor. Both the Flat Iron Steak and Onglet Steak are recommended but go for the Onglet one if you like your steak to be real tender. More often than not, I find that eating a piece of steak is like an exercise session for the jaw. However, I truly enjoyed the Onglet steak at Fat Belly; it was like a cheat day for my jaw!

One side-dish that I ordered was Creamed Kale, which was a VERY pleasant surprise! It is basically fresh and crispy kale coated with goodness of liquid cheese/milk! Even my friend who isn't a fan of vegetable AND cheese couldn't stop munching on it! Definitely a must-try if you are keen on tasting innovative dishes.

Visited ShuKuu on a Saturday evening and it was a nice surprise to find it bustling given that the CBD area is usually dead during weekends. The staffs were quick to seat us and were very attentive throughout the whole meal. Would totally recommend Aburi Salmon Mentai Sushi, Hotate Mentaiyaki and the Tochgi Wagyu skewers.

If you are a fan of aburi salmon sushi, you should try the ones at Shukuu; the flavor just burst in your mouth (and I have no either how given that it is just torched salmon).

The Hokkaido scallop with mentaiko was really sweet and fresh! It comes in 3 pieces. However, you can add another one for $6 if you are sharing with another friend (so each of you get 2 pieces, and that is just the right number for you to feel blissfulness, twice). Look at how sexy they are in the pictures! I kind of regretted not ordering their scallop sashimi.

Their beef cubes came on a skewer and oh, it was buttery and juicy and the right mixture of both meat and fats. The beef cubes were lightly seasoned and thus, retain their nature flavoring.

If you are more adventurous and a big lover of cheese, have a go at the Parmesan Chizu Chips. It is a rather unique dish and I love the combination of the Parmesan chips with honey. Having said that, my friend found the chips too overwhelming. I guess it is the type of dish where you either love it or not!

I went to the outlet at One North during lunch hour and it was packed in that tiny place. The signature scallop empress porridge comes in 2 sizes and is very flavourful. Despite the lunch hour crowd, the staffs are very friendly and would patiently explain the menu and set lunch. Did I mentioned the prices are affordable too? Would want to return and try other dishes!

There are 2 level in the restaurant and the first level was almost filled by the time I arrived. Level 1 has a more buzzing vibe with constant movement of customers in and out of the restaurant while level 2 give off a laid-back atmosphere, very good for group gatherings and catch-up sessions. The staffs are also very welcoming, polite and attentive; impeccable service.

Personally, buffalo wings are usually my to-go appetizer but I can't take food that are too spicy. Hence, I am pleasantly surprised when their buffalo wings are marinated with mild spiciness. Additionally, to satisfied individuals with greater craving for spice, the wings are served with spicy chili sauce at the side. I tried once and it is good but I do not want my tongue to go numb before I get to the main dish!

I had grain-fed ribeye for the main after seeking advice from the staff. I really wanted a steak that is more tender than chewy (blame it on the braces). And hooray, the 200g grain-fed ribeye exceed my expectations of tenderness. The steak was VERY, VERY juicy and cooked perfectly. Honestly, it is possible to eat the steak even without the sauce and it wouldn't even be dry. Before I stepped out of the restaurant, I decided to pledge my loyalty to grain-fed steak (or maybe to Meat N Chill). I'm definitely coming back for more dosage of their meat!

I had the Green King and as it was my first time at Ramen Nagi, I customized everything to pretty much "normal" with level 1 spiciness (no, it wasn't spicy at all) and opted for pork shoulder. You can add an ajitama at an additional $2. If it is your first time, going with the chef's recommendation would be your best bet.

The ramen didn't look very appealing with the layer of olive oil but oh, the noodles were soft and the ajitama was indeed good! Totally worth that $2! Additionally, unlike the conventional ramen, the flavors of Green King was light at the beginning and became richer with each mouth. I was very surprised when I finished the broth without feeling parched. Ramen Nagi definitely left a sweet aftertaste. If there's anything that can be improved, it is the number of chashu!

The pitan toufu is a must try if you are a fan of century egg. Their chirashi bowl come with thick slices of salmon, scallops and fresh cuts. There is also a good selection of sake and liquor. Overall, a pleasant get-together place. However, be prepared to wait a bit as our food took some time to prepare.
