It's been a month. I have lots of overdue post here

Last week, I dropped by to Singapore to meet some people and had some nice meal. But the one I love the most is Ippudo Ramen in  Mandarin Gallery, Orchard Road - Spore.

Lots of people has recommended this Ramen to me. Fortunately, I arrived right before lunch time, so we didn't have to join the long queue after us. My parents and I only had to wait for about 10mins.

We tried the original tonkatsu ramen and the spicy tonkatsu ramen. They all each $15. You can ask for additional topping for various prices.

After waited for about 10mins, we got out order. Out of those two soups, II prefer the spicy one. The soup was very thick, creamy, but once you tasted it, it tasted very light and had longg spicy aftertaste. Love it.
The original one was somehow too gingery. But the pork loin and the egg were amazingg!!

Oh ya, you can choose the texture of the noodle, I tried both medium and soft. I prefer the soft one. And you actually can ask for additional noodle if you still have lots of your soup by yelling some Jap words. (Please look around to see how it works)

I will definitely come back again to enjoy the spicy tonkatsu ramen and the pork bun. My friend said it is really a worth to try.

MIITEM - PLAZA INDONESIA

Yesterday I went out with Lea. We were supposed to have dinner at Red Tomato ( That 's what I thought ) but we had to get out as the place was over-packed. Nowhere to sit or stand still.

Hooray to our luck, we found this 'miitem', the resto that I wanted to try for so long, but always forget whenever i am in Plaza Indonesia. Always have other destination to go.

'Miitem' uses squid's ink infused noodle for their cuisines. At first, we intended to share the 'Miitem in Tom Yum Soup" (48k)..I wished the soup had stronger taste.But we love the texture of the noodle! hoorayh!

But wait....it's not enough. We ordered this Chicken Cajun in Pita bread (50k) This one was actually very satisfying. Reminded me of Flemington kebabs in Melbourne.


.

I took away "Miitem Pesto with Salmon" (66k). Either i ate it the day after or it was just not good enough. The noodle was too dry.  I always have my heart on pestos, but not this one.

Miitem, I will be back to try the "mie tektek"!

PUBLIC HOLIDAY CHICKEN NOODLE

 

Today is public holiday. Oh I love how I can waking up late. Around 8.30 am. (It was also because my dad was going out for golfing, otherwise, he would wake me up at 7am) I feel like i have utilized the meaning of holiday, which is to sleep moreee...

When I woke up, mom was preparing herself to cook chicken noodle for all of us.

I offered to help. So what i did is boiling the noodle. ( She got it from nearby market)

And make the topping.

First topping is the sweet soy sauce chicken and mushroom.

Ingredients :

- Chicken fillet, sliced

- Button mushroom

- Garlic

- Sweet Soy Sauce

- Lots of pepper

How to :

- Saute the garlic until you can smell the fragrance.

- Put in chicken fillet until it turns white, put the mushroom. Stir

- Put in the sweet soy sauce and pepper.

- Cook it until it dries.

Second topping is the chopped chicken fillet

My mom boiled the whole chicken and used the oil for the noodle.

She taught me how to guillotine the chicken using dagger.

My chopped chicken was a bit messy, as I had to try harder to open my eyes when the dagger hit the fillet. Hehe...( i was a bit scared)

Then.....

Boiling the dry noodle, my mom taught me to put enough water and wait until the water is boiling enough so the noodle will not be sticking to each other.

The chicken noodle is very comparable to the ones in restaurants. The most important part is the chili pickled sauce.

It was made of :
- Chopped cucumber
- Chopped carrot
- Bottled chili
- Bottled tomato sauce
- Sugar and salt
- Vinegar

How to :
- Cook chili and tomato sauce in a hot pan
- Marinate the cucumber and carrot with chili sauce
Serve it on top of the noodle...zuppper yumm!!

Especially when you eat it with your family during relax holiday time =)
