Tampopo at Liang Court

Heard good reviews of Tampopo from other foodblogs so decide to give a tried for dinner. We make a reservation at 7pm when we reach Tampopo it was not crowded yet. Their service is good they smile and greet you and attentive. By 7.30pm the crowd started to come in and soon it was full house. On the menu I saw that they have different grade of the black pig this is the first time I saw it sound so interesting. Here what we order

Cheese Katsu $16 I find the price a little steep for a deep fried pork with cheese but you wouldn't regret ordering it if you are a person who like cheese. Eat it while is hot as it won't taste nice once the cheese is cold. Crispy at the outer and cheesy inside with a touch of tangy lemon and the meat is tender, nice.

Ice Green tea unsweetened this is what my friend order. I find that is very cute as they serve with such a small cup.

Ramen Tonkatsu I shouldn't have order this when I already order the cheese katsu. But of course is different as this katsu does not contain cheese. Is almost the same as the cheese katsu is crispy at the outer and the meat is tender. As for the ramen they cook it just nice not too soft or hard as for the soup it may look hot and spicy but is mild and I find it a little too salty.

Black pig sabu sabu their specialist here and this is what my friend order. He too find that the soup was salty but he like the ramen. The meat was tender but I still wondering what the different between black pig and those normal pig maybe someone can solve my puzzle hehe... I will come again to try other item the total bill come up to $53 for 2/pax.

New York New York

Went over to New York for lunch as it was my colleague birthday. I was craving for pizza but I couldn't finish so I ask my colleague to share with me. This is what we order





Free salad with your DBS or POSB credit card



Coke float with chocolate ice cream




Calamari taste chewy and not very hard unlike some it taste like rubber but now this





Pepperoni pizza that what I order. I am glad it is thin crust as I find bread will be too filling. As for this is crispy at the edge and very cheesy I will try other pizza again





Fish and chip I have tried this before the fish is crispy and soft and it does not have the 'fishy' taste, nice





Meatball spaghetti my colleague let me tried some of the meatball. The meat is soft and goes well with the sauce, can try

Popeye

If I happen to go airport I will sure drop by to Popeye simply love their fried chicken, cajun fries, mash potatoe and butter biscuits. Now not only Terminal 1 has it but Terminal 3 and Singapore Flyer have Popeye and my girl can watch Popeye cartoon while enjoying her meal. For me I prefer Popeye over KFC.

Order a 2pcs meal and upsize to get a extra side so I get cajun fries. I will prefer thigh part but at Popeye they will charge you 50cents extra for changing the parts. The skin is not oily and very crispy. The wings is nice compare to breast meat which is slightly drier. The biscuits taste very buttery it look like scone to me but it taste much more softer.

I love their mashed very unlike to those normal mashed it has meat and contain some spice in it which make it more tasty than others.

Botak Jones

I love Botak Jones burger and their cajun fries so me and my friend went over to lower delta on the weekend for lunch.



I order a Thai sauce burger even is only a single patty I already find it very filling. The sauce taste sweet and sour as for the beef it was juicy and goes well with the cheese and sauce.



My friend order Cajun Chicken I have try it but I wonder have they cook the chicken well as I don't find it tender as it was. It was quite filling too as my friend couldn't finish it but I can say it taste nice.

Tea House at Raffles City

Went over to Tea House at Raffles City for lunch with my colleague. My colleague recommend their speciality herbal duck they say is very nice must try. There is 5 of us and so we order 1/2 Herbal duck, Mixed Vegetable, Duo Miao, Omelette, Rice and Fried Banana with Red Bean and Mango Sago for desert.


Their menu


The Herbal taste is very mild but I give 2 thumbs up for the Herbal Duck is was juicy and tender. The Mixed Vegetable is very tasty too.



I can say the Omettle is like those grandma type kinda of tradition style as it have chinese sauages and prawn in it. Duo Miao is one of my favourite vegetable as for this it taste just nice but they only have one serving which is kinda of small for 5 people.




Time for desert my colleague order this Mango Sago. The soup is made from cocount very creamy and sweet and the mango is very fresh too.



This is what I order Fried Banana with Red Bean paste. This has attract me when I saw it on the menu. The Banana fritter was very crispy and the Red Bean paste was very smooth and not too sweet which is just nice to me. The sauce beside is to dip with the Banana fritter I still prefer to eat it without the sauce.

Pie Kia

There was once my colleague brought this Pie call 'Pie Kia' for breakfast smell yummy so I ask him to help me buy for the next round. Pie Kia in our Hokkien dialect means Gangster what a funny and cute name they give to their store. And they name their large Pie call 'Dua Pie Kia' meaning Big Gangster so cute. They come in different flavour like Ham and Cheese, Roasted Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, Curry Chicken the rest I can't remember already. Greedy me I order 2 Pie Kia for my breakfast.

A cute plastic carrier

One of it was Ham and Cheese another was Roasted Chicken. I will prefer Roasted Chicken over Ham and Cheese maybe is because of the sauce in Roasted Chicken. Not forgetting the skin of the pie is very crispy and flaky.

Crystal Jade La Mian

Went to Crystal Jade with my friend for lunch. I love their La Mian very nice and somemore it is handmade so I guess this is the reason why it make it so tasty. I order Pork Rib La Mian and my friend order their new dish Fried Beef Noodle. We added 2 side dishes Xiao Long Pao my another favourite and Red Bean Pancake for desert.



La Mian is very 'Q' and the soup is light and nice. I find the Pork Rib meat is just nice not too hard and not to soft.



Xiao long bao, little steamed dumplings filled with pork, hot jus and goodness.



Red bean paste pancake, crispy and sweet.
