Restaurants & Cafes

All kinds. Chicken, pork, mutton, beef and innards. Can't tell right?

Passable oden. Really not easy to mess this up. Pardon the photo, we had already started eating, so it's not the full bowl.

Another food establishment to jump onboard the mock-meat fad. Here they use Quorn. I must admit I'm sold. The katsu is basically 99% like real meat. The nugget was more fake. I'm willing to eat Quorn... If they're not pricier than real meat. I mean, what's the incentive?

The magic is all in the gravy. Applause.

Pleasantly surprised. I don't usually order anything honey or a rice dish that doesn't promise gravy. But a fellow foodie recommended. I guess what's most impressive was that the main was so good, I could ignore the rice altogether, rendering the gravy question moot. Sweet yes, but wasn't sweet-sweet, if you get what I mean.

I went with this hoping it's better than chashu, which I do like, so imagine the letdown. The pork belly was cut too thick and wasn't tender to begin with. And check out that overcooked ajitama. This was comparable to Ajisen. Gyoza was at least decent.

Still a strange dish to me but still I order for its novelty.

Straightforward.

This squid was not cheap and I don't know why the fella told me minimum order was two. It's really pungent so proceed only if that's your thing. More importantly, it's too rubbery to bite.

I can't remember the cooking method, but the garnish was delicious, which hugely benefited the rather lame shellfish.

Disappointing. Tough and dry.

A very Indian curry - and slightly better. Rich and perfect with rice. Quite generous with potato chunks and chicken. An interesting touch is the addition of peanuts.
