MIYABI JAPANESE RESTAURANT

Being a wedding planner, I really love my job. But after a few tough deals recently, it felt good to be back at our homeground Raffles Town Club!! Though it is a country club, the services there can compete with any hotel banquet services. Always love working with the Raffles Town Club's banquet for weddings. And another plus point, there is a Japanese restaurant on the second storey that serve awesome Japanese cuisine. So to celebrate the belated birthday of a fellow colleague, our boss decided to give us a treat. *slurp*

The photos don't do justice to the food, took using my ipad mini because i forgot my camera!!
Didn't manage to get photos of the restaurant as well because we were rushing for our dinner for our wedding work but nevertheless, you can check out their website at http://www.rafflestownclub.com.sg/03_w&d_miyabi.html or head down and try it for yourself!!
Wanted to try their desserts too, but we had no time. They have this deep-fried tofu cheese, sounds so interesting. So gonna come back next time!!!

SHIMBASHI SOBA

Work has been really really busy this whole week. But in the midst of it, I still manage to get some good lunch in between. Awesome~ After meeting up with a client in Serangoon, I chanced upon a little treasure in the Japanese Gourmet Town in NEX shopping mall.

Chicken with Scrambled Egg Rice Bowl

Prawn Salad with Sesame dressing

Mentai Salmon Rice Bowl

(Love this salmon, chargrilled salmon with slightly burnt taste topped with their mayonnaise sauce. YUMMY!!)

Minced Chicken in Teriyaki sauce

Chilled handmade Soba with dipping sauce

(Being a fan of chilled soba, I find this really chewy & appetizing. However, would be better if they can be served more chilled.)

Went during lunch time & there wasn't a crowd at all. Cosy quiet place & you don't feel pressurized to finish your meal in a hurry, unlike other food places during lunch hour. What's more, they serve yummy japanese food with reasonable set meal prices. *thumb up*

DOLCE TOKYO

Chanced upon this Japanese Italian cafe one day while walking around Somerset 313. The design of the cafe looks nice, so decided to give it a try.

(Taste like Starbucks Green Tea Latte)

Smoked Salmon Egg Benedict $20

Poached eggs, cheese, Smoked Salmon on toasted bread drizzled with Hollandaise sauce. Served with Side Salad

(The portion of the food looks small, but it's definitely super filling)

The yummy Hollandaise sauce to go with the Egg Benedict. Creamy, sour, appetizing with a tint of Wasabi. Nice~ And you can pour the amount to your liking.

(Cake & coffee, best combination)

My dinner date for the night, Adeline!!! Yummy food with awesome companion.. =)

Came during dinner time about 8pm on a Friday night & surprised to find seats immediately, no queue & not crowded at all. Could be due to the fact that it's located on the third floor & no one really knows about it. So guys, do drop by their cafe to try out their food!! Would definitely want to try their other food on the menu the next time.
