First of all, today's the 7th day in the Lunar calendar, and it's known as Ren Re, meaning man's birthday in the Lunar Calendar. So, wishing all Chinese a Happy Birthday!
-------------------
Continuation from yesterday's post. These photos are what we ate at Shokudo as well.
This was ramen soup that another colleague had.
This might be the most delicious looking! Such a huge chicken burger with a sunny side up that is soft in the middle!
Another colleague had some appetizer too.
This was bought by another colleague to share around. Paper thin pizza. We all liked it.
Shishamo. Another colleague's lunch, but we all 'pinched it' anyway. haha..
The same colleague queued up super super long time for these skewers.
The pork on the left was tasty. The asparagus is nice, but the bacon seems to be a bit unsalted. Hmm. wonder we wonder why everything that everyone ate was a bit heavy handed on salt, but this asparagus is a bit bland. LOL..
We saw many people queue for this fried rice. So colleague queued to try it out. LOL.
No, he did not finish it. Wonder why?...
After all the food, we wanted to try the desserts too.
This is the Mochi with Hokkaido sweet corn and red beans.
Below the topping is very very fine ice shavings. Quite nice.
Colleague saw what I bought above to share, decided to grab more. So he went for the same thing except that he took the ice cream instead of the sweet corn.
We still wanted to put things in our mouth and another colleague ordered this japanese version of mango ice kacang. Those long things are no taste jelly, but it goes well with the sweet mango syrup and mango pieces.
Lots more food to try, maybe next time.
This place is located at the Basement 1 of Raffles City Shopping Centre.

Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar @ Raffles City Shopping Centre
One colleague was pestering another colleague to ask us all to go try out this new place at Raffles City basement. So when this place got reviewed on Sat's Business Times and also on Sunday Times, all of us said, OK lah.. Let's go, let's go...
So, we packed ourselves into a colleague's car (like sardines) and head off to Raffles City. Long queue! (realise it is not because there's lots of people, it's just service staff explaining things customers how things work here.)
It is the same concept as Marche. (Or another colleague said, it's Bangkok style food court). They give you this wooden token so that you can 'reserve' your place. They also give out this Japanese design RFID card for you to order food.
I had Fried Pork Curry.
Colleague had donburi.
We shared a sashimi sushi.
Another colleague had ebi and mushroom tempura.
with his udon soup.
Remember we like to eat in groups? We get to 'pinch' everyone's food. haha... Don't you think it is fun like that?
More photos tomorrow.
This place is still quite new, so expect long waits from inexperience staff. These electronic gadgets do hang too. I was ordering dessert and the RFID card reader machine had to be rebooted by the staff, and cards were not detected stuff. Overall, still OK. Give it some time to settle down.
