Sushi Tei, Playground @ Big Splash

We were in the East area and thought we'd go to have some Japanese food at Playground @ Big Splash for dinner. Although the area is frequented by families (usually with noisy screaming kids in tow), it was a Monday night so there weren't any screaming kids around. We ended up having a very peaceful dinner.

The BF likes unagi, so he ordered the Special Unagi Roll ($14). I'm personally not a fan of eel, so I stayed away from this. He liked that the unagi was fleshy and fresh, with sweet teriyaki sauce slathered over it.


I got the Salmon Shio ($10) Grilled Salmon with Salt. A light hand was used to sprinkle salt over the already flavourful fish, so it didn't turn out too salty like some other places. The thin layer of salt coated the fish enough to keep it nice and moist despite the typically drying effect of grilling.


We also got the Gindara Teriyaki ($10) Grilled Cod with Teriyaki. This was nice, with the sweet flavours of teriyaki sauce complementing the oily fish.


The Yasai Itame ($5) Pan Fried Mixed Vegetable was delicate, crunchy and yummy, with peppery capsicums adding a little spice.


I got the BF to eat the Ebi Mentaiyaki ($18) Grilled Prawn with Cod Roe, which he loved. He loved the crunchy and humongous prawns and the salty and creamy cod roe.


I ordered the Hanasaki Ika Tempura ($5.50) Squid Tempura. I love snacking on this Japanese version of the Italian calamari.


This is the BF's must-order, the Sashimi Salad ($9), crisp lettuce, fresh salmon, tuna and octopus, with piquant Wafuu Dressing.


The BF also wanted to try the Kani Mayo ($4.50) Crab Meat Mayonnaise, which turned out surprisingly yummy, despite my aversion to mayonnaise. This was mild and creamy. Very light.

Less diners = More time to prepare the food = More care put into cooking process = Better food

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

Image
싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and ...

The People vs Cheapo Food Bloggers and Bad English

This is a mini rant. Friends know that my one guilty indulgence is reading food blogs ("flogs"). ("guilty" because I read them at work...yes, my boss reads this flog too) And Singapore, despite its little size, has a very developed food blogging scene. A quick surf on the internet will prove that there is an inordinate number of flogs for a country as tiny as ours. I suppose it's really due to the connectivity of our island, its technologically savvy netizens and their insatiable appetite and love for food. But lately, I've noticed a worrying trend. There is a growing number of flogs that I've stopped reading entirely, simply because almost 90% of their posts are all based on invited tastings. Don't these cheapos ever pay for their meals anymore?!? I've always thought that the ( one of the primary ) purpose( s ) of writing a flog is to introduce to the good people of Singapore the various culinary treasures on our little island. An invited ...

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur...
