City Hall

Had fond memories of dining at Omote’s flagship outlet at Thomson and celebrated an occasion over lunch at their newly-opened Raffles City outlet. Unfortunately, the signature chirashi don had mushy rice and was too salty this time round. The dining experience was salvaged by the discovery of the black truffle tako karaage which stole the show with its crisp texture and flavourful sauce.

Eyebrow-raising name aside, the fried rice was filled with wok hei goodness and the spiciness (which was customisable) provided a real kick to the dish. The ribeye was surprisingly tender and flavourful too. A must-try dish for fans of fried rice and spicy food.

Always a good time at Pu Tien, with its consistently good dishes and modern decor. Particularly loved the Fujian red mushroom seafood lor mee and deep-fried duck with yam. Didn’t quite enjoy their rendition of oyster omelette as it was a bit too starchy for my liking.

5 slices of sashimi at $3.90, enough said. Fresh and thick-cut slices of sashimi, a must-try for fans of salmon and promotions.

Do order an extra scoop of vanilla bean ice cream as it’s the perfect complement to the warm banana bread. The espresso butter was a surprisingly delightful accompaniment too. Two thumbs up for this dessert 👍🏼👍🏼

Loved the simple yet delightful ingredients in both omelettes. Pls pair them with the sauces provided for a more flavourful experience.
