Megumi Japanese Restaurant @ Sunset Way

It's another birthday celebration. This time it's our cousin's birthday.
We had the celebration lunch at Megumi Japanese Restaurant at Sunset Way.

This was the Deluxe Sashimi Set. $80. It was good!




It was a mix of different kinds of sashimi except for salmon. No salmon stock in Singapore that week! But we noticed there was salmon belly though. ;-)




The Kuruma Ebi Ramen. $15.80
The prawns were huge prawns. Our cousin liked this ramen.





This was the Karaage Shishamo $6




This was the Tori Karaage Ramen $11.80




The chicken karaage looks a bit 'dark'. ;-)




This was the Katsu Curry $9.80
Ok lah. I think the katsu was a bit too 'done'. But the curry was nice.




This UFO Maki $12 tasted rather nice.




The Unagi Ishi Nabe $13.80
This came in a hot stone pot. It took a long time for this dish to be served though. But it was worth the wait.





Happy Birthday dear cousin!

Megumi Japanese Restaurant @ Sunset Way

I am a bit busy at work, so I missed out a few's post. I realise I have some meals eaten in December 2009 that has not been documented too! Here's a dinner we had with our uncle, aunty and cousin.



We did not have a chawanmushi each, but shared two persons to one. I think it was not too bad. I was sharing with my cousin who doesn't eat any of the fillings. I ate the fillings while she ate all the eggy custard. ;-)





This inside out sushi was not too bad too.





What we all like was the sashimi platter. You can see for this platter. Guess what is hidden behind the leaf?





It's a rock fish. The service staff asked if we wanted to try it. So we did.





I took this sign to remind myself of the name of the fish. But it was a few weeks ago, but I think if my memory serves me well, the fish above is the Kasago / Rock Fish.





When the sashimi was served, we were told, they will deep dry the fish head after we finish the sashimi. Here's the deep fried head and bones. ;-)





I forgot what this is, but I remember it just melts in your mouth. I would want to eat this again when I come here again.





I am not going to make the post too long with the rest of our own 'carbo dish'. Here's sis and mine.
Sis had the Charcoal Soba. We saw the word charcoal and just wanted to try it.

It taste just like soba. ;-)





I had the beef cutlet curry rice.
The beef was tender inside the crispy batter.




It was a nice dinner. Looking back, we were going slow and clearing leave at the end of last year, most of us in the office are now working so hard to meet the various deadlines! Help!

Grill Out! @ Sunset Way

This was dinner with our Care Group. We have a 'makan night' every 3 or 4 weeks. This was eaten around two weeks ago. Our CG leader picked the venue and it was Sunset Way. The sms was to meet at Sunset Way and  we will walk and choose a restaurant there.

We 'walked' and somehow decided we shall try "Grill Out". Why? it's because someone saw the meats and got tempted. (It's not me!)

This is our complimentary soup. It was mushroom soup. Someone was cheeky and asked if it was 'campbell'? We were told they made it themselves. They added that complimentary does mean they just can soups. haha.. It was quite ok. It was excellent with the soft bread served.



It was too difficult and dark to take photos at night and sitting in semi darkness. So I only took the one that sis and I shared. (these photos have been 'added lots of light' by software. haha)

Sis and I had the "set for 2" deals. You get 3 different kind of meats with portions just nice for 2. 1 of it is Rib Eye, I forgot the 2nd meat. Sis also can't remember it now.



The other side of the dish, the 3rd type of meat was the short ribs. Sis and I liked it. We had our meat prepared medium and it was nice.



We ordered a Pork Backribs to share with the rest too.
It was good, but it would be better with a little more sauce. I like it saucey. hehe..



The rest of our CG members had oysters, caesar ' kuro ham salad (which was very nice), another couple had the wagyu/pork leg and sirloin set for 2, another the Angus Tenderloin etc. The list goes on...

We were 'pigging out' at Grill Out. haha..

Grill Out! @ Sunset Way

This was a birthday treat from Uncle and Aunt on Sunday. Our Aunt heard from friends that Grill Out is quite a nice place and their food's pretty good too. So we came her for lunch.

On early Sunday morning, it was raining very heavily. For me when I woke up, I thought what a wonderful sign from above! It's showers of blessings and it's since it's really pouring, God's really generous too! He has always been hasn't He?

At around 1.30pm when we came for lunch, the rain had stopped and the weather is just perfect for al-fresco dining!

We sat down and we saw that this place serves kobe beef and kurobuta. We were pleased because we knew their chefs would be trained to not do silly things with great meats. :-)



We like this place when we came because the various host and hostess were really helpful and patient with us. She explained to us what the various cuts were because we asked things on the menu like what's Pork Skirts, Pork Collar, Pork Butt etc. (I am sure you didn't know pigs or cows wear skirts too eh?)

After placing our orders, we were promptly served some bread and butter.



We all ordered the different sets and it all came with soup of the day which was Prawn Paste Soup. All of us except sis liked it. Never mind, we had hers. :-)



Some items that we shared:

The Clams and Mussels in White Wine sauce's really really tasty! We all preferred the clams more than the mussels though. (Mussels as usual has too much 'taste of the sea') If we would to come again, we will just order the clams instead of a mixture of both. The sauce just made it so nice. I nearly want to drink it!



The Pork Collar was nice too. (Sorry for the blur photo).
There's a hint of vinegarish taste in it, which makes it quite appetizing. It was quite tender. See the bits of mustard at the side, it goes well with the pork too!

(It kinda reminded us delicious pork collar bbq meat you get on the streets of Bangkok.)



We had oysters too. Some of us wanted it raw and others slightly cooked, so we voted.

So, the oysters were served slightly grilled and hey, I liked it. A bit of heat does makes a difference! It was still raw oysters but not so 'fishy'.



Now for the mains.

We saw the "2 to dine for $26" deal and asked what it was. We get to choose 2 mains but it's only from a shorter list of choice. We thought it was good and took up the deal.

The next 4 mains are from the deal.

Our cousin had the Sirloin Steak done medium. It was nicely charred and juicy and the little girl liked it.



Uncle had the Pork Collar Butt. It was tender. He enjoyed it. (so did the rest who 'taxed' some of the meat.)



Aunt had the Pork Skirt Pasta and we were quite surprised by it. It was very delicious. It was al-dante and had the what we call 'wok hei' fragrant to it. The Pork Skirt was really tender and moist. This section of meat is supposedly one of the better ones because of the high fat to meat ratio. So after grilling it, it's oh! so yummy!



Sis' order of grilled fish was so so only according to her.
So she was picking on our food.



The next two mains (I think it's around $30 + each) were from the 'usual' mains menu. The mystery was solved when we saw the portions! They were huge. The 2 for $26 deal was a bit smaller. But they were all quite worth it.

Momo had the Peri Peri Chicken. Usually when you see a whole chicken served, it's a spring chicken, but this is not a spring chicken and a full size chicken! The sauce was nice and you could see that Momo enjoyed it and was totally stuffed!



I initially ordered the Beef Ribs. But they came back and told us they ran out, and they asked if I wanted the Short Ribs instead. So I said OK.

I don't think I had Short Ribs before. It looks so 'different'. So nice looking and such a big portions too! Oh, the mustard sauce with it made it taste very good. Everyone who tasted bits of it liked it too.



While we were eating midway, Jon (whom I think is the boss?) asked how was everything and we said everything's good. I think Aunt casually mentioned that we are here for my birthday. Then at the end of the meal, he surprised us by bringing out a cake! (Oh, it was so embarrassing!)

The cake was good. It was warm brownies with ice cream on top. I think it's from Peaberry & Pretzel which is just next door. Such a nice gesture and what a pretty cake too!

(See, the showers of blessings thingy I mentioned... it's already happening!)



We were very satisfied with our lunch. We think this place is a good alternative to Astons.
(Except maybe the fish for mains.)

I am not sure if they give cakes all the time to birthday boys or girls, but their service's very good. Maybe it was because we were in a big group? Maybe he was feeling happy that day too? We will most probably go back a few more times. :-)

Birthday Celebration @ Peaberry and Pretzel, Sunset Way.

Happy Birthday to our dear cousin! It's our cousin's birthday today. But we all celebrated it last Sunday so that other cousins can make it too.

Today's also her last paper for the week before other papers starts again after a one week break.

We went to Sunset Way for diner and yes, we tried Yum Yum Thai again. But we sat in the open air and it is too dark to take any photos. We repeated what we did the previous week and came over to Peaberry and Pretzel to have our cake and dessert.

This is her birthday cake. You can see from the candles how old she is. PSLE exams at the end of the year, so you know lah... I think her mum is more stress about the PSLE than the daughter!



All the photos are grainy because of the poor lighting condition. Or you can blame it on me. :-)
This is the Carrot Cheese Cake that was on the counter display. It's freshly baked less than 2 hours ago when we ordered it.



It's a medium size cake and I think it's just the nice size. Everyone took a slice like this and it is just nice. What we like about it is it is moist inside and it does not have those usual icing on it. The top is cheese. It is just so so yummy!



The person taking our order said that they have the best souffle around. So we ordered one. We had the souffle with rum. $12

When you order it, it takes around 15 mins to prepare. Yes, you can see the chef separate the eggs, beat it up, etc... the whole process if you want. It's made fresh and right in front of you.



Does it tempt you?



The ice cream and white choc goes well with it!




We also had the Hot Apple and Rhubarb Crumble. $10
It is also very interesting. If you like the sour Rhubarb you will like this.



It's the weekend! Have yourself a well rested and enjoyable weekend!

Sis and I think in future, we shall get birthday cakes from here. The size is small enough. It seems people nowadays only take a tiny slice anyway. Also the price of it, at $16 is quite ok, comparable to other cakes outside.


You can visit their website for more interesting menu. We have yet to try the 'food' part. We have only been dessert-ing here. LOL

Peaberry & Pretzel @ Sunset Way

Call us gluttons. (I am sure you are one too!). After the Thai Food we had, we went for desserts elsewhere. This shop looks inviting enough, and the 5 of us decided to go in.



Momo, did some mental calculation and decided there's enough time for the caffeine to wear off, so she ordered the Affogato. ($7) 2 shots leh! I wonder if she could sleep after that. hehe..

The ice cream melting in espresso looks good eh... Smelt good too!



Our friend had the Peaberry & Pretzel Sundae. ($10) Looks yummy?



Yes, it is definitely yummy! It's either 2 or 3 scoop of ice cream there! With the topping and fruits.



For me, I had the Choc Overload. ($10).
The top part right under the raspberry is a dollop of moose that is soaked in rum. Below that is 2 big scoops of ice cream and right below the cup, it's some kind of choc chip crispies thingy.



Chocolate lovers will love it! I am sure you sweet tooth people will like this as well.



Bro had the Warm Chocolate Pudding ($12).



It has a hard crust and very wobbly too. You see the cup of white chocolate beside it?



You poured it inside the warm chocolate pudding. Bro sure enjoyed it.
The family beside us saw what we ordered, and ordered one too! haha... (refer to the first photo, when we left, they were still eating it. think their kids loved it!)



It also came with a scoop of yummy ice cream. The tiny piece of biscuit below it, I 'curi' a bit to eat. Delicious with the ice cream!



Sis and Momo, ya, they 'curi' here and there, all our desserts. haha...

Nice place to have desserts. We saw quite a few other things that we want to try.
We will be back!
