Menya Musashi at VivoCity

ABBEY: We decided to dine at Menya Musashi after our stroll at Vivo City (#01-104). 

I got their Chicken Cutlet Toji Rice Set; chef recommended. It comes with a bowl of rice, fried chicken cutlet soaked in beaten egg yolks, miso soup, and chawanmushi.
Japanese rice is delicious. It goes well with the chicken cutlet and the taste is not that salty. I washed them all down with the miso soup. Then for the finale, I ate the egg custard which was topped with mushroom and pork bits. 

The meal costs 16SGD.


WILL: Abbey is so overwhelmed with his new shoes and on that, he treated me a dinner at Menya Musahi at VivoCity. The store is not that big but have a welcoming ambias. We are lucky that time that there is no long queue going on when we arrived the place. 

We were ushered to our seats, ordered via iPad app and they immediately served us their complimentary hot tea. Have you experience that ramen splashes back to your soup? To avoid any clothing stains, you can ask for paper bibs. :) 

I got a thin ramen for my spicy soup set. I am amazed on how flavourful the ramen specially their noodles. Oishi! One bowl is too much for my tummy size, and of course husband is there to rescue me (we hate wasting food). He to agreed how delicious it is. 

Please visit them on any of their branches.

Oriental Chicken Bountiful Fortune Pizza - Pizza Hut Singapore

ABBEY: What do we have for Chinese New Year dinner? Pizza. Haha. No time to cook. Wilma placed an order and after an hour the delivery came.


Pizza Hut have this Bountiful Fortune Pizza in shape of a Chinese coin. It is a stuffed-crust pizza with toppings of oriental chicken, pineapple tidbits, capsicum, mushroom , cheese and salmon floss.
It was delicious if you eat it hot or cold; doesn't matter :) You definitely will come back for more.



WILL: Our housemates ordered Dominos's Pizza last CNY and my brain suddenly missed Pizza Hut. Hurriedly, I searched their website and found their specialty for 2016's Chinese New Year, the Bountiful Fortune Pizza. Even though our housemates offered us one box, I still insisted to buy our own. Hehe. Why? I am totally longing for Pizza Huts's thick and oily doughs. Hahaha! 

My 2 boxes arrived earlier than expected, it is hot and the aroma filled the room. Pulled a piece... craving satisfied! 

I ate 3 in one seating (for dinner), put it aside and ate another one before going to bed. Haha. In the morning I shared 2 slices with my husband and we opened the free regular pizza on afternoon. 

Honestly, Pizza Hut is more expensive than other  pizza companies PLUS they will charge you a delivery fee. This one large and one regular costs SGD44.50 compare to Dominos' buy one take one large Pizza (free delivery) of SGD33.00 that comes with a Coke. Anyways, I am not always splurging on pizzas. Hehe. One Pizza Hut annually is enough just to satisfy my tastebuds.  :)

Shin-Sapporo Ramen (Orchard Gateway Branch) - Tonkotsu Fire Ramen

ABBEY: This restaurant is another item in my "To Dine" list. Shin Sapporo (Orchard Gateway B2-04A-05) offers this one of a kind ramen: the Tonkutsu Fire Ramen.
Note: You need to have reservation a day prior to your eating time.


We were an hour earlier and we thought we will wait for another 60 minutes. But Stanley, their attentive and hospitable staff, gave us confirmation that we can start. We were briefed and given the do's and don't when the chef is doing the performance. Basically, stay away from the scalding hot oil splashes and the fire.

I was given an apron for protection and I was led to my seat. My wife was my cameraman that time.
Then the performance began. And the fire nearly reached the ceiling. That's the reason there were black traces of smoke on it.
Since we ordered two bowls, they did it twice.
We went back to our table and and the bowls of ramen were served.
It was delicious. I also put chili oil. The best thing is that I can order another serving of noodles for free.
Each bowl costs 16SGD. 



WILL: Abbey serious about his "to-dine" list! Hehe. This time we went to visit Shin-Sapporo Ramen.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were educated on the things that will happen and what is the Fire Ramen will be. Minutes later, two bowls are on fire! I immediately look around for fire alarms may sound off. Why? The fire reached the restaurant's ceiling! Whew! 

Then, we dug in. What's the taste? To tell you, we are sick that time and longing for a hot and spicy soup that will make our flu fly away! So what's the taste? It is one of the most delicious ramen we have ate. Creamy soup is perfect. Now I am drooling! Haha!

Very recommendable.
