Uuuuudon - Kazokutei @ Junction 8

If your a fan of cold Udon, this is the place to go. I was walking around on a Saturday afternoon, trying to find a nice place to have lunch. As usual J8, like almost every other heartland mall, was packed.

However I managed to fine this place Kazokutei, located on the second floor just above Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. The place was small but could sit about 50 people, a bit cramp though. Simple decor, like that of most Japanese restaurants in Singapore.

Cold Udon & Soba

We ordered 2 sets, I had the Cold Udon and Soba Set, served with a side of Tempura (above) and my girlfriend had the Udon in clear broth with a Salmon Don on the side (below). The food came fast and was served hot for those that were suppose to be hot. 

Udon in clear hot broth


I thoroughly enjoyed the cold Udon to the Soba. The Soba broke apart too easily, as if it was over cooked. The Udon on the other hand, was much better with the bounce texture still present when you dip it into the sauce and into you mouth to enjoy every bit. But I think that without the sauce, the Udon would not be as nice.

Only issue I have is that they played the entire CD of Justin Bi, that guy. I wonder what crowd they were trying to attract?

But music aside, if your in need of a quite cheap Udon fix, this is not a bad place to go. Total bill came up to about $30. They have 2 other branches at Bugis Junction and Plaza Singapura.

Review: Kiasu Espresso @ 100 AM

Image
It seems that Singaporeans are increasingly searching for a good coffee fix all day long. No longer are the Starbucks and Coffee Bean sufficient to quench the thirst of a coffee addict. Many stalls are not coming up with their own coffee drinks and adapting their marketing strategy to suit the market. Rightly so, as I paid a visit to Kiasu Espresso, a branch-off from the popular 40 Hands in Tiong Bahru. Only a few days old and already popular with the working crowd in Tanjong Pagar and in the coffee circles. The owners still making plans of adjusting the fixtures and fittings in the shop. The concept is targeted at people who do not have to time to sit and chat but want their coffee fix. Friendly staff greets potential customers at the entrance of the shop, with the espresso machine behind them. The interior is a little hard and lack the cosy warmth feeling when one says the word ‘café’, but it suits the concepts of a take-away coffee joint well. I had the  ca...

My first post!

Question is why did I want to start a blog? Well very simply it all started when I had to complete an ICT module, where I had to get my hand dirty, by actively using blogs and evaluating them. The idea of starting a blog is not new, and I guess I have been asked by some to start one, posting about food and traveling, which are my interests. Only problem is when I do not have the time to regularly come online to check on the traffic flow and reply comments. But well its free so why not, good experience for using ICT to teach in the future. On hindsight, I look forward to posting articles about the world around us, unique situations and things, which can only be found in certain parts of the world and also my food and travel discoveries. Cheers, Darren

Review: Chock Full of Beans

Image
Interestingly popular place despite the distance from the city. Filled with the average working crowd you would expect in town, you can find them at Chock Full of Beans during the lunch hours. Attracted by the appealing set lunch ranging from $12 to $14, for a main and a drink or a soup, is not too bad of a choice, especially if the drink is of premium coffee. An average size shop, like any other along the Changi Village shops, the owners make full utilise the space by offering al fresco dining. Quite a number will be sitting outside, for 2 reasons. Firstly because they have been in the office for too long and want to defrost, and secondly because there is no other space. We ordered the BBQ Pork Sandwich ($12) and the Salmon Penne ($14). The lunch sets come with either a soup or a drink. We took one of each, Mushroom Soup and a Café Latte. Food didn’t take very long to come despite the full house. Latte came first, then the soups and the mains, as expected. ...
