黑社会

It started with my cravings for hot steamed custard salted egg yolk bun. So after rounds of debating what we should have for dinner and still cannot reach a conclusion, we decided to visit VivoCity and let the queue decide for us. Quietly in the corner of my heart, I knew I will get my bun because the queue at Sushi Tei is always insane.

J requested that I write this post in Chinese because my stupid mouth suggested she should write a post in Japanese, which she did. Well, it should be an easier feat for me since Chinese has been my mother language as long as I can remember. No matter how bad or good we are with it, it is always a language closer to our heart. To be honest, the last time I wrote a proper Chinese passage was during my A-Levels Chinese exams which was more than 5 years ago :O Gosh,Am I that old??!?
So here we go........

我的华语虽然肯定比 j 好, 可是很遗憾的是也不是我理想的水平。其实, 还真的很差所以请大家多多体谅。

今天想跟你们分享我很喜欢吃的 (其实我什么都很喜欢吃) 流沙包。当你看到刚出炉的包时, 第一个反应是什么? 是不是就想一口立刻咬下去? 我就喜欢这样可是对流沙包时就不能了。因为那将会流出来的 custard 是很烧的! 所以一定要小心翼翼地慢慢享用。
老实说, 我越写越觉得我的华语水平很差。自己读了的想吐血 -.- 所以今天就写到这里了。很抱歉 (´･ω･`)


The clear stock is really light and complemented the 3 different eggs really well. This should go along with hot steamy white rice.

Poached Chinese Spinach with 3 Eggs

The punch from your first bite would assure you this was braised well before serving time and it was damn well marinated. Again, hot steamy rice or plain porridge would had been a perfect match. Definitely not for the light hearted.

Braised Pork Belly with 'Mui Choy'

OMG THIS IS TOTALLY FOOD ORGASM. ONE OF THE BETTER LIU SHA BAOS IN SINGAPORE.

Liu Sha Bao

Seafood 'Sheng Mian'

Even though this was rather tasteless and disappointing, atleast the very least it didnt clash with the strong flavour of the braised pork belly.

Overall, the experience is quite good and I would go back again. Of course, the people I am having my meal with matters as well. So if you enjoy a hearty delightful meal, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will be more than happy to eat with you :D

IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG WHILE AND WE'RE FINALLY BACK WITH A INTERESTING POST!

Monjayaki is a very unique Japanese cuisine. As such, let's try something different; This post is gonna be in Japanese!

(English at the bottom, we're not that cruel.)

久しぶりね！ついに新しいPostがありますよね！これからもんじゃ焼きを紹介します。。。

実は、もんじゃ焼きとお好み焼きちょっと同じですよ。でも、お好み焼きはたくさん卵があります、もんじゃ焼きがありません。。。と思う！！

日本人の友達は一緒にNanjya Monjyaへいった。これはZoukの近くにあります。私は食べたことがないから、日本人の友達はもんじゃ焼きを全部しました！レストランにはちょっと熱いけど、多分外のほうが涼しいと思う。。。

初もんじゃ焼きはとても美味しかったよ！いろいろ食べ物があるよ！みんなは「おなかがいっぱい！苦しい！」といってた！ははは！

でも、たのしかった。また行きたい！

ああ！そうだ。予約をしたほうがいいですよ。。。これのレストランがたくさんお客がいるんだ。　　　＼(^o^)／

----------English starts here!----------

I've heard about Monjayaki from Japanese shows, and since I've made a few Japanese friends, I asked them what it was. Hence...... They brought us to Nanjya Monjya to eat some and find out more!

Actually, there isn't much difference between Monjayaki and Okonomiyaki... From what I could tell, Okonomiyaki was egg based, while the other was more water and starch? Hmmm.

What my friends have told me is that, Monjayaki is a Tokyo speciality. Specifically Tokyo. So if you walk down the Tokyo roads, you'd see lots of Monjayaki stalls lining the streets.

Just a note: I have no idea what dish names we ordered. We just let our Japanese friends pick everything. EVERYTHING.

Our side dishes include: Squid, Fried Rice, BBQ Pork and Potato (our Jap friends called it Jaga. Like Jagabee :D)

Our nice Japanese friends doing all the cooking. I admit. I didn't bother doing anything. - J

The Monjayaki! They said we have to use this cute little spatulas to eat them. No idea why.

Fried soba! 

Okay, you can't really tell how is it different from the photos.... So I suggest you get yourself down to the restaurant and try it yourself!

It's close to Zouk, so I suggest that you make reservations! A little note though, the inside of the restaurant can get pretty warm, but they do provide a fan. But the inside tables do have bigger cooking plates compared to the ones outside! So you sweat a little, but it's an experience!
