$6.90 gives you melt-in-the-mouth teriyaki salmon and rice sufficient to keep you full for half a day. Vegetables were too few, but I don't eat these anyway, so...

Good for filling up your stomach but don't expect ultra high standards like those you'll find Japanese restaurants.

3.6/5

This is a special platter of mac n cheese from Four Seasons Hotel (1/3 seen in picture) and it is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

The top is caramelized and insides were gooey oozy macaroni with a great amount of cheese that didn't feel too heavy. The platter was for about 20 people yet 12 of us polished it off.

Just thinking about it makes me salivate. Not sure about the pricing as it was bought by a staff. 4.4/5

Many would think you'll get subpar sushi at a place with cheap sushi. I must admit that Sushi Express has its hits and misses and sometimes has more non-sushi plates than sushi.

A notable delicious "hit" plate would be the special limited Aburi Salmon plate. Warm and melt-in-the-mouth, I was pleasantly surprised by it and often look out for it. It's better than aburi in other more atas restaurants. Aburi dishes need no soy sauce, so you can just take and have it.

For this plate alone, 4.1/5. $1.50 per plate.

Barcook is one of my favourite bakeries around as most of their buns are delicious and have a mid-to-strong taste.

Apart from their famous cheese buns (one of the first few bakeries to create that), the mixberry cheese buns are a winner as well. Barcook does not scrimp on ingredients and the berries are plentiful. The mix of the berries, oozy cheese and soft bread make for a wonderful bun that will leave you happy and wanting more.

$1.60 and 4.1/5

I ordered this with enthusiasm and was surprised it looked so...dull.

However, the meal turned out pretty alright. Serving of rice is huge. The salted egg yolk gravy was plentiful and tasty. Soup was also tastier than I expected. Hungry boys should go for this.

$6 and 3.3/5

Bought this at Ion Orchard Food Opera at basement 4.

For $6, I was really disappointed at the pathetic serving. It might look like a lot but it actually wasn't. On top of that, it was a 22-minute wait and there was NO queue to justify that. To add insult to injury, there were two other available cooks hovering around not doing anything!

Okay, the taste now. The black carrot cake was delicious, though a tad overdone with the dark sauce. The exterior of the white carrot cake was good, but the insides seemed a bit undercooked. I was still not full after finishing the dish.

So. $6 for this entirely meh experience (only for the half-half, the other stuff look good)? Only if you have loads of patience and also craving for it. Go for the Hokkien Mee instead.2.5/5

Went to have this as I received an enthusiastic recommendation of it. It costs $7.90 and comes in the big bowl. Portion is great! I was starving and this filled me up real good.

MIx everything up with the noodles at the bottom. Noodles are springy and smooth; I was slurping it up like there was no tomorrow. Ingredients are plentiful and you get this feeling that you're eating healthily.

The noodles come with a bowl of soup and an appetizer. Very value-for-money and satisfying. 4/5

This is the BEST DUCK I've ever eaten! It's even more fantastic than Fong Kee which I love.

The place is Restoran Ya Wang in JB, 28 Jalan Segget, close to City Square Mall.

The duck meat is smooth and tender, with a relatively thin layer of fat beneath the skin. There is more meat than bones, and the meat slides of the bones easily. The herbal taste is light and (surprisingly) complements the duck.

I'm not a fan of duck but I will definitely go back to JB soon to have it again!

Can't recall the price but it's less than SGD15. 4.5/5 *****

Singapore's ramly burgers has nothing on those in Malaysia, for obvious reasons.

Had this in JB at one of those roadside stalls along a stretch of eateries. It took us A LOT of searching, and eventually found it by accident. That was after a full dinner.

The special burger was soaking wet with the hot sauces. Be prepared to get messy. Meat was soft and tasty. Utterly delicious and only RM 5.50.

4.1/5 would go JB again just for the ramly.

This, oh this.

Thin straight noodles in a tonkotsu broth with miso paste and garlic oil. Negi, cabbage, slices of pork and flavoured egg. Everything comes together in a harmonious blend. What can I say? Once I was doubtful over the hype of Ippudo, then I tried this and I stood corrected.

This ranks in the top 3 ramen in Singapore for me. Slurps!

$19 for this. 4.5/5

For $6.50, you get Japanese (short grain) rice, pickles, one stick of chicken balls, two sticks of chicken and one stick of pork, all drizzled with their awesome secret sauce.

I had this in town, which means it is one of the cheaper meals around. It fills me up nicely. The chicken balls were melt-in-the-mouth. Other sticks were alright.

The sauce just made everything good. So 3.6/5.

Crunchy picked gherkins and grilled buttered sourdough from Do.Main.

I didn't know what to expect, actually. 😂 It was my first time having this and the duck rillette was very flavourful and tasty. Sourdough was hard and crunchy, complemented the duck.
