Ah Yat Tian Xia (阿一天下)
Our 1st time here. Cow n I both had this set but we picked 2 dif types of rice dishes.
Verdict: value for money. im not expecting East Ocean kind of quality given tt EO's
set meals per pax can range for $70+ to $140+ ( those we tried ).
Erm, perhaps they cld use pick another kind of serving bowl? this 1 looks real el
cheapo IMO.
Abalone Rice with Soy Sauce. Quite an OK dish. Lovely accompanying dip sauce.
Baked abalone with fried rice. I Dun fancy the burnt bits, so i promptly scraped them
away. The gravy was a lil bland, fried rice was really forgettable.
Dishes come in 2 choices: with or w/o abalone
Similarly, Desserts also come in 2 choices: with or w/o bird's nest.
Hubs ordered 2 with bird's nest. But i muz say they're exorbitant. these 2 bowls cost
him $30, but they come in huge portion. Deserts were not bad :)
AKASHI @ VIVOCITY
FINALLY!!!! FINALLY!!! i hv the appetite to indulge in sashimi!!!
Poor hubs had to acc me to Akashi 3xs within 1 wk juz to satisfy my craving for
it *LOL* The waitresses asked how come we had not patronized them for so
many mths. Well........ i had to explain tt i puking my guts out for 4 mths, now tt
MS had subsided, its time to 'PARTEEE'!!! heheheehe
Juz some random pix....
We hv a habit or ordering the same stuff over n over again. V unadventurous pple.
Hub's Wakatori + my Nigiri Soba set. I love the soba here!!!
This lil bugger was air flown fr Jap n reached the restaurant the very day. So its
uber fresh!!!
ISAKI SASHIMI. $52 for this plate, but i can assure u its the freshest ive ever had!
Excuse me for saying this.... we once had a $100+ sashimi platter at some upscale hotel jap restaurant n the quality doesnt even come near to AKASHI's!
Salmon Belly $25. We've always ordered the normal salmon sashimi, so we decided
to try their salmon belly which cost $5 more. Suffice to say, after the 1st bite ( tog with lots of wahhh, yummmmm, hmmmmm ), we'll be ordering salmon belly in future.
It juz isnt the same :P
Scallop Sashimi. This 1 is dif.... v al dente and... its actually sweet!
The remnants fr the scallop sashimi. V crunchy, but i dare not put the blackish stuff
into my mouth
THE LINE ( SHANGRI-LA )
Maybe Cow n I are getting on in years, we no longer find buffets tt enticing. But tt
doesnt mean we've totally stopped going for them :P
The Line is a place where we'll head to at least twice a yr cos of the variety.
Oh, i didnt even realise they stopped issuing Shang Dollars since mths back....
Oysters---- too heavy handed with the salt. It was Marine Harvest Nite, yet the oysters were hardly 'exciting'
Thankfully, the rest of the dishes were not bad at all
ETNA ITALIAN RESTAURANT
Carrot + Tomato Soup. Love their soups.
Crab Meat Salad. Serving portion was so big, we were almost stuffed by the time
our mains arrived
We also ordered Risotto alla Marinara & Norma Pizza. Sorry no pix of these as
i was too hungry by then to rem to snap away :P
PU TIEN @ TAMPINES MALL
my folks r fans of this restaurant. Waitress asked if we wanted
to try their HAIRY CRABS since its in season now.... at $38 each,
they're pricey, not to mention, DARN SMALL.... but hubs ordered
2 to try.
2 waitresses spent almost 5 mins preparing the 2 plates below.
Not an easy job fr wat i witnessed. tts y im not into crabs.... i
like fuss free food :P
