Soya Bean Pudding
Recently fallen in love with this dessert at RamenPlay:
Rich soya bean fragrance, slightly sweet, nice presentation of colors white, red and green. It's like eating the beancurd dessert but in pudding form!

Sakae Adventure: July's Special Seafood Promotions
This month's Sakae Adventure...
It has been a while since we dined in at Sakae (we usually call for delivery), so we went to Sakae Sushi @ Junction 8 on a week night just to try something new! Ehh actually it was because they don't have Sushi Buffets at this branch lah... Well, it was a good chance for us to explore a different part of the Sakae menu, plus I could use some of the Sakae Dollars that I had accumulated on my Sakae Card :)
We were there at the right time - July's theme for the Sakae Signature promotion is on Seafood!
We could hardly give this a miss, so we ordered the Special Ika Maki ($9.99).
You might wonder what about this grilled ika (squid) is so special.. and why do they call it a maki (rolled sushi)?
Well it is just as the name suggests. The ika maki is special because it's sushi rice wrapped up in a squid! And it's not just the usual white sushi rice though, it's sushi fried rice.
That didn't taste too bad at all! It was a lot lightly flavored than the color might suggest. The sushi fried rice was slightly sweet (I think it's tomatoes) and complemented well with the not-too-chewy grilled squid in a thin layer of teriyaki sauce. I would like to point out that it was quite professionally done too - the rice didn't just fall out of the squid rings when you pick it up with chopsticks.
On top of that, we also had some side orders, sushi from the conveyor belt, plus 5-pc gyoza on offer ($3.99)! For our entrees, wx got a Unagi Don ($14.99).
That was a huuuge portion even for someone the size of wx :p I was a lot smarter of course hehe. Since Sakae Delivery Menu does not offer any noodle dishes (except cha soba as side order), I settled for some soupy noodles to end my occasional craving for udon - the Niku Udon!
Sprinkle some Japanese chili powder and the soup becomes perfect. I would prefer if the beef were in thinner slices. But the udon noodles were very Q. sluuurpy!
Total: $67.05
I paid just 5 cents for this meal. The rest were deducted from my Sakae Card :) Don't you wish to be a Sakae eJournalist too?

Crispy Fluffy Waffles
YAY It's waffles time again!
Do you like your waffles crispy or chewy, crunchy or fluffy?
Well, I like mine like this:
Yes...crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside!
So this is what we had:
The Passion Fruit Mango ice cream was a little too strong taste (sour & sweet) for me - some might like the rich passion fruit sorbet-like mix in it though.
If you like the crunchy type of waffles, read my post on the Waffle Place Cottage last year.
Gelare is still around! They serve the fluffy type of waffles too. And I think they still have half-price waffles promotion on Tuesdays. A little out of reach for me though, so Haagen Dazs @ Junction 8 is my best choice. Plus, for every $10 you spend at Haagen Dazs until 8 August 2010, you get 5 letters to complete the crossword puzzle for the Haagen Dazs Word Hunt Contest! Hehe.. I just like little games like this. Fun, simple to do, and a chance to win great prizes :)

Sakae Adventure: Who Says No Money Cannot Eat?
Hmmm....it's been 3 months now since my last pay! What the heck... & Always in the last week, we try to scrimp and save. But who says no money cannot eat?
In times of need, we were so glad to have my Sakae Card around!
..with $55 Sakae Dollars from the e-journalists program. Just in time to celebrate wx's birthday too! Hehe
3 colored plates, $2.29 each + 1 red plate, $5.59
Nabeyaki Udon, $11.99
Tempura with Yuzu Soba, $13.99
Totals to $46.50. We paid only 50 cents!!
The yuzu soba was quite interesting. We were given this raw quail egg (poked with a small hole) and for a while we weren't sure what to do with it.
Do you know the correct way to eat your yuzu soba?

NEW Triple Prawn Burger!!
Went to J8 to pay my Singtel bills after work today, and bought MOS Burger back for dinner. Try their latest addition:
Three deep-fried prawns topped with XO and tartar sauce plus shreds of lettuce.
Ermm didn't look as glamorous as this eh?
IMO not really worth the 40cents "upgrade" from my favorite fish burger. Although the prawns were fresh, I couldn't taste much of the XO sauce which was also a highlight of this dish.
Rating: ★★
Nevertheless, MOS Burger remains to be one of my favorite burger place locally! A little small portioned and expensive, but love the fat fries, croquette, and minestrone soup! (I give high ratings to those :D)
& Oh! New Scallops Rice Burger... wx might just like it :)
PS: MOS Burger needs delivery service in Singapore :x

Dinner @ Manhattan Fish Market
(Another overdue post. ><; Actual day: June 2 - the night I bought my Monopoly Deal.) Rating: ★★★★
This was my first time at Manhattan Fish Market. Not bad!
Soup of the day was Seafood Chowder. My only complain was too much of tomato taste (bit sour) for my preference. I would try their Cream of Mushroom or Clam Chowder on next visit.
I ordered black pepper grilled salmon with chips. Salmon was fresh and the fries were tasty too. Anyways, I felt this was a little too expensive or "not worth it" (~$18) when I saw wx's platter for 1 below...
His plate was that much fuller than mine - 2 jumbo prawns and a catch of the day, dora fish, plus both fries and baked rice! Only $3 more (~$21)
On second thought, I should have ordered baked rice - which tasted a bit like the garlic rice from Sakae Teppanyaki. I even DIY-ed and added more garlic to make it "asian"! :D
