Tomo Izakaya

It seems that I'm only here when I'm having lunch with CC and Mr J. The last time I was here, more than a year ago, was also with the both of them.

Since a year ago, there are less restaurants offering the Clarke Quay Weekday $15 Set Lunch Promotion. Tomo Izakaya is one of the best lunch spots under this promotion. Their bento set lunches usually make for a full substantive meal, and generally of reasonable quality. Tomo Izakaya has 2 different choices for the set lunch, 1 with fish and the other with beef.

Set A is paired with simmered gindara, and served alongside tuna and salmon sashimi, chicken gyoza, prawn and avocado salad, rice, pickles and miso soup. The cod fish was fresh, creamy and mild, and everything else was fairly good, except the sashimi, which weren't particularly fresh.


Set B is paired with simmered beef and potatoes, sides of deep fried sliced burdock, sashimi, prawn avocado salad, rice, pickles and miso soup. Save for the sashimi, the rest were reasonable alright.

Hi ,

Eileen from Tomo Izakaya here.

Thank you for taking time to share feedback here.

The fish used for sashimi in Tomo Izakaya is always fresh and of the highest quality.

What you experienced was unacceptable.

On behalf of Tomo Izakaya, I would like to apologize for the food quality that we served not up to your expectation.

We will take your feedback into account and hope you will give us another chance to make these improvements.

Looking forward to see you again at Tomo Izakaya.

Hi Eileen,

We actually do like the $15 lunch set deals, it's really quite value-for-money. The freshness of the sashimi was the only tiny little gripe we had about the set. Even so, we still thought that the set meal was very worth it.

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

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 stalls are varied enough that multipl

C'est la saison de la soupe. Meme si on n'a pas les quarte saisons à Singapour, le temps devient "pas aussi chaud" vers la fin de l'année; c'est cette période que j'ai envie de soupes et de ragoûts...ils sont très très réconfortants!  Dans d'autres nouvelles, les lumières et décorations de Noël à Rue Orchard sont allumées!! Je ne suis pas sûr pourquoi, mais voir les lumières de Noël me rend toujours heureux. Je pense, c'est peut-être parce que les lumières de Noël signifient l'approche de Noël, ma saison préférée de tous. Même si on ne fête pas Noël pour des raisons religieuses, c'est toujours le temps de la gentillesse et l'amour, toutes les qualités que j'apprécie et chérit. Et parce que tous nos proches resteront à Singapour, nous inaugurerons et passerons les fêtes de Noël et du Nouvel An avec eux à la maison au lieu. Ce sera certainement un changement, car nous sommes habituellement à l'étranger et nous regardons les feux d
