Had cheese mentai okonomiyaki! It was so creamy n nice!! Unfortunately the portion was so huge that I could only finish 3/4 of it. Would be perfect to share for 2 small appetite girls hurhur. Just looking at the photo makes me hungrys.

Dinner tonight. :) Chicken katsu curry at 313. Yums but not enough sauce hehe.

Discovered a nice ramen place really near my workplace! So happy that this exists.

The solution for depressing Mondays hehe. This place is located at Takashimaya basement, not at the main food hall but behind? Aiya my explanation sucks but nvm part of the allure of a hidden find is in the “hidden” part eh. /end justification

They serve about 6 types of ramen and I chose the Butter & Corn variety, with shio soup. The awesome thing I like about this place is that they offer half-servings!

I can never finish my food so this option was really nice. I was quite touched that they thought of people like me. /tear

Anyway the half version is not as tiny as one would imagine la. Look at the photo above. It’s actually quite a decently sized bowl.

The taste was rich albeit laden with MSG and I loved the aji tamago (additional $1.50)! Soft and chewy just the way I like eggs. The slice of chashu was so huge!

Happy diner is me! Receipt FYR. /职业病

Went to Ajinomori. It’s newly opened at Holland V so as part-resident I needed to lend my support!

The setting is really cute and cozy, with cushions for seats and wood everywhere. :)

I had the set dinner ($23) and managed to change the hot udon to cold soba. They served me hot soba at first in error, but it was quickly replaced so all was well.

I think they fished out the soba from the hot one and served it to me though, because it was way mushy and overcooked when it arrived. If that is true, boo. But I shall give them benefit of the doubt.

The sashimi nigiri sushi was quite nice and fresh but it was not outstanding. The rest of the items were pretty forgettable too.

I know it sounds very lackluster but all I’m saying that Ajinomori is a very normal Japanese restaurant, albeit slightly below average if the dishes I had were representative. Still, I would go back for future gatherings, because the environment is just so nice to stay and chat in.

The service staff are quite friendly too so that’s another plus point for them!

Receipt scan done with awesome app JotNot, here because I say so:

There was a promotion going on at Somerset 313… the above thingaming was selling for only $4.90! Compared to the usual fare of cai peng which is also $4.90, this was a major steal.

Unfortunately udon is my least favourite Japanese food so it was a relative challenge to fully enjoy it, but the fact that it’s $4.90 and not from a food court is comfort in itself.

Good for quick value-for-$ meals in town!

Taste wise, it was a pretty average bowl of udon overall; the soup was quite nice though.
