lai heng S$4 bakchormee

wife & i sent son to airport on 6.9.2015.

after he had checked in, there was some time so we proceed to kopitiam at B2 at T3.

there was a long queue at lai heng fishball noodle stall & we queued for 20mins. this a bakchormee i like. the last time i sent my son off we had the bakchormee here as well.

lai heng S$4 bakchormee

this the tai hwa crawford-style with mushroom sauce & lots of vinegar. the meepok was QQ, done just right. i like the vinegar, the mushroom & chilli sauce were great & there were lots of ingredients.

soup

soup was tasty with lots of minced pork.

my wife still prefers the jalan tua kong meepok tar at 6th avenue, i like both. ^^

chirashi sushi don

the chirashi sushi don at kuriya dining is one of our perennial favourite, so when son is back it is one of the goto place.

son arranged for a 6pax dinner on 5.9.2015.^^

chirashi sushi don

the S$62 lunch chirashi sushi don set at kuriya dining is great value. it includes salad, chawan mushi, miso soup, dessert & coffee.

there is chirashi sushi don w/o the set for dinner ala carte, and it was S$78, so quite a bit more. still we all love the chirashi sushi don, with its large serving & quality sashimi cuts.

chirashi sushi don

we ordered 4 sets. 2 of us (include me) had 1 by ourselves & the others shared the remaining 2 sets.

jap wagyu ikura uni don

i ordered a jap wagyu ikura uni don for sharing.

jap wagyu ikura uni don

it is a very small bowl of don heaped with very tasty marbled japanese wagyu & uni & ikura. a bit ex at S$68 but good quality stuff.

kimchi katsudon

the kimchi katsudon was ex also at S$32.

flavour-wise it was no match for aburiya’s kimchi chigae at S$11.90, fraction of the cost. but here we had katsudon not sliced belly pork so it was not apple for apple for apple comparison. still for shiok factor, i will go for aburiya’s kimchi chigae anytime!

kurobuta pork

we had the kurobuta pork, something we all liked.

kurobuta pork

it was done very nicely, tender & tasty!

sashimi moriawase

i had something to celebrate so i was buying dinner for the family. we ordered a sashimi moriawase.

uni

it had heaps of uni with nori (seaweed) as a roll.

aburi toro

& about 7 pieces of aburi (torched) toro,.

sashimi moriawase

and nice salmon cut include belly, kampachi, and chopped hotate (which was not as good as usual sliced hotate). 🙂

food was great & dinner was very enjoyable. sashimi just arrived on the day & quality was super!

price a bit ex actually at S$150pax & we brought our own very good sake and paid the S$30 cockage.

flat white large & small

i had the large S$5.50 & son had the small S$4.50.

one of the best coffee i had was a nice cuppa with wife was at chye seng huat at tyrewhitt road on 17.9.2014.

after that i was introduced to assembly coffee, and later carpenter & cook by my daughter.

another friend introduced me to aeiou.

for me, assembly coffee have the best barista & latte art, and chye seng huat & dutch colony have among the best coffee. ^^
