Cold green tea noodles with black pork tempura drenched in garlic chili oil and their house-special spicy sauce. I would call it Japanese style mala cold noodles. The flavour is nice but it is quite rich too, which might get a bit jelak after a while. Despite being mixed with the noodles, the black pork tempura managed to retain its crispiness till the end which is commendable. Overall, a unique and delicious dish!
One of the newer sushi options in Ichiban Sushi. I have forgotten what sushi was on the right plate as it was not as delicious as the Crispy Dory Maki. Fried Crispy Dory Fish with Cornflakes, cheese, bonito, seaweed flakes, shrimp roe and mayonnaise, which gives the sushi a mixture of textures. The menu stated that the sushi contains a spicy sauce but I didn’t taste much spiciness to it. Regardless, the flavour was still pretty good in my opinion and it is a good option for those who don’t eat raw fish.

A bed of rice topped with Japanese unagi, served with a small teapot of dashi broth, a small plate of pickles, and a plate of condiments containing strips of seaweed, chopped spring onion and a piece of fresh wasabi to be grated on your own. Quality of the unagi is on point! Grilled to perfection, tender and flavourful, with a nice crisp to it. The dashi stock was lighter than I expected it to be but it does give a warm comforting touch to eat it as a tea rice soup (ochazuke). We are not wasabi fans but we still grated a bit to try since we paid for it already. Surprisingly, the fresh wasabi had the wasabi fragrance but not the pungent burning sensation that we disliked. Pretty interesting experience to us! There are also additional sauces (sweet sauce, unagi sauce, spicy sauce) available on the table but I think it is delicious on its own.
Recommended? It is a definite yes from me if you are looking for good quality unagi and willing to pay as the prices here are pretty steep. However, if you are looking for a place to chill and chat around with your friends and family, this might not be the best option as the service here is quite efficient in order to serve the hungry customers waiting under the hot sun.
This stall is popular for its thick and saucy dry wanton mee but I prefer noodle soups, therefore opted for the soup version. For $3.50, WORTH is the only word I can use to describe this bowl. In my opinion, the star would be the thick cuts of Char Siew, perfectly charred and not too fatty, just the right amount of fats I would say. The queue moves quite fast so don’t worry about having to wait too long to get a bowl!
Want a place to chill and relax? Café&Meal MUJI is a pretty good option! There is 50% OFF Desserts with any Drink purchase between 2pm to 5pm from Mondays to Fridays, excluding Public Holidays and valid for dine-in only.
Here we have:
✅ Caramel Pudding ($4.90)
I don’t usually order caramel desserts because they tend to be too sweet but this caramel pudding was surprisingly delicious. The pudding itself is not very sweet so together with the caramel, the sweetness of the whole dessert balances out very well. The texture of the pudding was soft, smooth and creamy. Overall, looks simple but tastes phenomenal.
✅ Sweet Purple Potato and Chestnut Roll ($7.90)
Purple potato cream on a swiss roll filled with chestnut cream. This piece of cake was another surprising good one but it was on the sweeter side so I would recommend sharing this with a friend as it might get a bit jelak after a while. Flavour wise not bad!
✅ Iced Milk Tea ($5.90)
✅ Jasmine (Tea in Pot) ($4.90)
Do note that all prices stated are all original prices before discount.
I fell in love with Isaac Toast when I tried it in Korea so I was really happy that Isaac Toast opened in SG but this was so disappointing as compared to the ones we had in Korea. Isaac Toast in Korea has the perfect proportion of ingredients and sauces with sliced cabbage and pickles to cut the grease and give it a refreshing touch. However, the ones we bought here were overly buttered and greasy (Literally dripping butter!). It lacked the balance of flavours and eating it reminded me nothing like the ones we had in Korea. I can only say that it is a very ordinary toast sandwich in my opinion.
This was so gooodddddd. I was initially worried that it might be too “siap” or too sweet but this Thai Iced Tea was not “siap” at all and had the perfect amount of sweetness for me. Delicious!
✅Crispy Fried Som Tam ($5.90++)
Can you guess what dish is this? This dish is actually fried papaya! To be honest, there is not much papaya taste to it at all. Even my mum who dislikes papaya can eat this. Don’t get me wrong, it tastes pretty good but just nothing like papaya.
✅Flame Grilled Ayam Legend(S$9.90++).
The chicken was moist and tender but the star of dish in my opinion was the dipping sauce served on the side. Sweet, salty, tangy and spicy which elevates the dish, giving you a flavour explosion in your mouth! Yummss
Do not be deceived by its unassuming appearance! This dish was surprisingly flavourful and delicious. One of the favourites of the night. Most importantly, for $4.90? WORTH
There are 4 different options of soup bases, with the choice of chicken or beef, as well as rice noodles or springy noodles. The 4 soup bases available are:
1. Pathumthani - Sourish, slightly spicy, herby dark soy sauce base
3. Ayutthaya - Contains coconut milk, richer and creamier broth
4. Creamy Tom Yum
5. Sweet Kuey Chap
We ordered a variety of different combinations (I forgot the combinations in each bowl😅) but all chicken as we do not eat beef. It was my first time eating boat noodles so it was a pretty interesting experience for me. I think all of the soup bases were unique in their own ways and worth trying out the different flavours but the sweet kuey chap was a bit too sweet for my liking, probably more suitable for the younger palettes.
Soft, silky, smooth beancurd topped with ginkgo and grass jelly. The perfect old-school dessert to have any time of the day. And for $2.50 a bowl? What a steal!
