Manpuku @ Tampines 1

Here's more of the stuff that we ate yesterday at Manpuku. Here's a mix of what we got from all the different stalls. I am not sure which stall it is, so just visit this place yourself and walk around ;-)


We were very hungry, so the sushi stuff was the quickest. Pick up, show them your card, bring back to table and eat. The Inari that sis almost always order. $2.



The Unagi Sushi Set of 5. $7.80 This is quite nice.



Aunt was also with us and she picked some things from the grill shop.



The pork and asparagus roll was quite nice. $1.60
The other stuff behind the scallops $1.80 and chicken yakitori $1.20.

Aunt told us something quite funny. The Japanese chef was trying to teach this new boy who is helping him. He was asking him to keep repeating the name of the order in Japanese, but the boy just could not say it out. He said to my aunt "wo jiang bu chu" his tongue simply can't twist to speak Japanese. The chef (like the ones on TV), refuse to take the order from the boy until he says it correctly and in Japanese. LOL..

But aunt noticed the Japanese chef is super particular when grilling her order. Unlike the ones we usually see, where the people working are just human versions of machines, this chef was so careful and so dedicated in what he's doing. See it's so nicely done without burnt marks!



When you enter this place, the first thing you see are the cakes that looks as if they are plastic replicas. No they are not plastic but the real thing! This person was carefully cutting sis' order.



The beautiful looking orange and grapefruit tart. $6.80



I was thirsty and I ended up drinking this because I was attracted by the bottle. Pineapple Squash. $3.80

It you can read the Japanese words (this one looks chinese), it says no fruit juice. Yes, the whole thing taste so chemical. It's one of the fancy chemical tasting pineapple juice. But I think it's nice. (am i mad??? haha...)

Aoba Hokkaido Ramen @ Tampines 1

There's a new shopping mall right at the East of Singapore at Tampines. It's called Tampines 1. It opened yesterday, and you might wonder what is the person staying in the West doing all the way here in the East? It's because we attended the English Presbytery Easter Convention Good Friday service at Expo.

When we got to Tampines, the whole place is so jammed up. The 3 malls here was packed like sardines. We wondered if we did the right thing. Anyway, we decided we would just go over to the new mall and eat there and leave. We saw that there's a place called Manpuku - Japanese Gourmet Town, a place that has 10 different famous Japanese food places on the 3rd floor. So we decided to eat here.

Here's what sis, momo and I ate. We ate Ramen from Aoba Hokkaido Ramen, one of the shops inside this 'Marche like - you get a magnetic strip card to order food' place.



This is what I had. Sho-yu Corn Ramen. $9.80

Only when I got my food that I realised they got my order wrong. I ordered the Miso Butter Corn Ramen. We ordered by the number on the menu, so they definitely got it wrong. But anyway, was nice to them and just took what they prepared although they wanted to changed it. It's only their 2nd day of opening and the staff must have been overwhelmed.

The soup's quite delicious. The noodles are nicely done too. The noodles look really instant noodlely (curly wurly kind), but did not taste like it though. :-)



Sis had the Sho-yu TanToro Ramen. $14.80.
The pork slices are really really yummy. It's so tender and it reminds us of the ones from Santouku. (Sis said Santouku's a little nicer. lol)



Momo had the Shio Cha-su Ramen. $10.80.
This is a little different from the two soy sauce based one above. This salt based broth is quite tasty too.



There's so many ramen places suddenly sprouting all over Singapore in the last few months. Everyone has a different style. This one here, the egg is the normal hard boiled egg. The broth here is quite nice. This place is another place by the Ajisen group.
