Buffet@ Volks family restaurant

The hamburg steak plus free flow of 3 types of soup and many types of salad and bread at Volks  in Fukuoka can be had for S$8 (discount of 30%). The pictures were Whatsapp to me by a friend from Japan. The next time I visit Japan, I will patronize this restaurant. The quality of food is excellent and inexpensive.

A lovely dinner

Hainanese curry rice@ Let's Eat

Had this Hainanese curry rice for lunch. I ordered the cuttlefish one which is the most "expensive" ($6). The cheapest on the menu is pork chop curry rice ($4.30c). The dish comes with a generous serving of cabbage and a fried egg with curry gravy. Overall the food is definitely good and cheap.

Toast Junction versus Toast Box

I ordered this mee siam set from Toast Junction at Raffles City and it cost only $4.90c. The same set cost $6.70c at Toast Box even in the heartland. Toast Box has also increased the butter kaya set from $4.90 to $5.40. It is getting more expensive to eat at Toast Box. Guess what?  the mee siam tasted better  at Toast Junction. Its gravy is more concentrated and spicy.

Chief stewardess Justina Wong RIP

Justina passed away peacefully a few days ago. Sickness is unknown. In fact I was told she had just left SIA. She was not married and passed away with her siblings around her.

Durian white coffee

I don't know how many people had tried this durian white coffee. My friend's mother had been drinking this coffee for a long time. She died recently and my friend who is 70 years old is also drinking this coffee everyday. He claimed that perhaps his mother was able to live for so long (died at 95) partly due to drinking this coffee.
When I heard this story, I headed to the NTUC supermarket and got myself a bag containing 15 pkts ($7.90).
The taste is quite good and authentic. But if you do not like durian then don't try it.

Home cooked ramen

This ramen was cooked by my wife this morning. The slices of pork are known as Japanese char siew. They are different from the Chinese char siew which are usually red in color and roasted or grilled. Japanese char siew does not have coloring added to the meat. Nevertheless, this bowl of ramen is superb!

We ate this ramen at Suntec City  last year and they cost us a bomb. It's not that we aren't appreciative but the taste is not much better than the one above which does not cost more than $3 a bowl.

Pax unhappy with her flight

18 Chefs @ Nex Mall

The sirloin steak set which is $15.80 + isn't as good as before. It does not come with the spaghetti anymore. The cheese baked rice is quite nice ($8) and the spicy double cheese fries is yummy ($7).
This is my third visit to 18 Chefs and I am rather unenthusiastic about it.

They didn't spare her..is this cyber bullying?
