Tampopo @ Liang Court

After church yesterday, aunt was saying that she has not been to Liang Court for a long long time. So, off we went to Liang Court to have lunch. Looking at the options of places to eat, we finally settled to have Japanese at Tampopo.

Uncle and I both had the BBQ Black Pork Ramen. The broth's good!



The two slices of BBQ Black Pig hidden inside were yummy too!



And the ramen just nice for our liking. Delicious.



Aunt had the seafood fried rice. It was quite fragrant too.



Our cousin has been addicted to sashimi lately. She had the tuna chirashi. It's quite a large portion too. (There's eggs hidden behind too.)



The shared items we had: Octopus tentacles. Our cousin liked it that we ordered another portion. But I did not really like it. I think it's because I don't like tentacles :-)



This is the potato croquet. I remember the price for this. A $4.50 piece of croquet.
But you know what's inside?



There's kurobuta, wagyu pieces inside! Aunt said this is so far the best croquet she has eaten. (we told her, of course lah, there's pampered cow and pork inside. haha)



We had to wait quite a while for the croquet to arrive, we nearly cancelled it because there was some mixed up perhaps?



We were glad we chose to eat here. For those who asked who usually asked me to post prices, I can't remember. The total bill plus drinks and taxes was around $90.

Botejyu @ Liang Court

A very Happy and Blessed 2009 to all of you.

The first meal for the people in our family is also known as the "Last Supper". At around 12 midnight, we had the Holy Communion in Church, part of the Watch Night service. It's a piece of wafer with a little glass of wine.

This is dinner on the first day of 2009. We had Omus and Okos at Botejyu at Liang Court.




Sis seems to love pumpkin nowadays. When she saw this on the menu, she ordered it. Pumpkin Tempura. $3.80



Sis, Momo and I ordered an item each. When the food came, we ended up sharing instead.

I chose the Pork Omu. We think this is the nicest of the 3 things we ordered.



This is the Moonlight Oko that Momo ordered. When the person served us he said, you guys must be very lucky. (huh?) He said it's the first time he served this dish with an egg that has double yoke. Oh... :-)



There's 3 tiny slices of pork, some prawns and other seafood in it.



Sis ordered the Pork Oko. The pattern on it looks beautiful ya?



You see the pork slices when you cut it. It was OK. For people who like beautiful food. :-)

Suan Thai @ Liang Court

An email was bouncing around a few friends to meet up for dinner. After a few bounces, we settled on trying Suan Thai at the newly refurbished Liang Court.

We were tempted with the 28 diff dishes at $20.99 ++ on Mon-Thu for the Standard Menu. (There's a Budget and a Standard menu with $3 difference) We also asked if there's any difference between the dishes served if they are a-la-carte. Yes we were told. If you order a-la-carte, there's more spices and herbs in the dishes, the buffet ones they omit some of it. Hmm... anyway, we just took the buffet. :-)



We tried to try most things in the menu, maybe around 75% of it only. We had I think it was 8 of us, but we ordered things for 4 persons portion for most of it. We did not want to stuff ourselves silly.

Lighting's a bit too 'romantic', so many photos came out blur. Here's some of them.

The Green Mango Salad. Quite good.



The Pomelo Salad.



Thai Baby Kailan with salted fish.



Some of the items on the menu had an asterisk. This meant it can only be ordered once.
This Thai Style Chicken Satay is one of the order once item.

We realised that the dishes with asterisk all taste better. But too bad, they are all 'ordred once' item. sigh...



The soft shell crab.



The stuff chicken wings.
One of the asterisk dishes.



Fried Tofu with Thai chilli sauce.



Chicken Wrapped in Pandan Leaves. Also an asterisk item.



We had a friend who is a lala lover. We had many orders of this. LOL...



The Tomyam soup's quite nice too. It was fun to meet up with this bunch of friends.

Oh, we had a surprise birthday for one of our friends. We bought a few pieces of cakes from Canele and the staff at Suan Thai was kind enough to give us candles. Happy Birthday SY!

Tsuru Tsuru Tei @ Meidi-ya, Liang Court

Dino wanted to try a new restaurant at Liang Court. But it was packed, and they couldnt give a time when a table would be available. Hence, we wondered off to the basement and thought will try some of those little eateries outside Meidi-ya.

Chance upon this one selling udon and some other little items. Menu looks like that. We decided and walked to the cashier to order. The person at the cashier was also a Japanese :-)



Dino had the Maitake Udon aka Fluffy Fish ball with Maitaka Mushrooms. $10. The fish cake was firm and bouncy.



I had Kim Chi, Egg Udon. It looks like laksa! $10.




Here's how it looks when i took the udon to eat. Its even got tau pok! Just like laksa. hahaha.



And we also ordered a little cute eel rice. Simply called Mini steam eel rice. $1.80

Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai @ Liang Court

Last weekend, Momo, Sis and I, we thought we will just go to Liang Court and see what we can eat. We looked around and ended up at Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai. Remembered that Camemberu blogged something about the other branch at Tanglin Mall.




When you are seated, you are given 3 pieces of menu, and everything's combo meals. To make things easy, we just took Combo sets 1, 2, 3! LOL...

I had the Saba-miso stew combo. $15
Chub mackerel stew with soy bean paste. Fish was a tiny bit fishy, but I like fish so it's OK for me. (but not for sis and momo LOL)



This is one of the side dish, kelp with meat, and the Okinawan donut.



The full combo set. Plain rice, soup and pickles.



Sis had the Pork-Ginger Combo. $15
Pork cooked in soy sauce with ginger. Just replace the mackerel with the pork and it's the same as the set above. Sis liked her order.



Momo had the Hamburg-Steak combo. $18
Beef burger with Japanese sauce. Look quite nice ya.



This is her combo, aerial view. LOL



After the meal, it was time for the donut. We finally turned it over when everyone finished their meal and this is it. How does it taste like? It taste like cakes that we eat growing up. A bit like baby biscuits!! :-)
