BBQ Honey Pork Bun - Canton Paradise @ JCube

Went to canton paradise @ Jcube as my dad saw a flyer from the company and really liked the canton food concept. We ordered the dimsum menu and there was one item on the list that I really really must talk about the BBQ Honey Pork Bun. It was zomg heavenly. A marriage of savoury and sweetness encrusted in a crispy exterior. The moment you bite through, the bun breaks apart to reveal the wonderful filling. We only ordered 3 but the first bite was unforgettable. 

The good news is that you can actually order these things for takeaway at the cashier!!! We ordered 5 to go. However, nothing still beats eating it as it comes out of the oven at the restaurant. You got to try it to believe me ;)

A definite yes and I'll be back for more!!

Sam Loh Hor Fun - Siglap Killiney Kopitiam

Decided to go to Siglap for dinner and everywhere seem so crowded so we settled for Killiney Kopitiam. I ordered the sam loh hor fun and got really really pissed waiting for it. Maybe I might sound unreasonable but I hate having to wait absurd amount of time for my food. Let me share how long I had to wait for this dish. 

1) We arrived first, a couple arrived after us. 

2) We ordered, then another patron ordered, followed by the couple who ordered.

3) Friend's food + drinks came

4) Patron's food came.

5) Couple's food came

6) New patron ordered and food arrived for them.

7) Friend finishes his dinner

8) Couple finishes food and leaves

9) New patrons tuck into their food and were almost finishing them.

All these happened while I was waiting for this Sam Loh Hor Fun. I was really really pissed. A hungry woman is an angry one. 

Eventually the dish was just passe, I would have been happier eating Mcdonald's chicken mcnuggets. Hahaha. Guess I won't be going back there any time soon.

Moral of the story: Don't mess with my food. 

Ichiban Boshi @ Nex

Had a $50 Nex voucher so I decided to invite a friend to dine with me at Nex. He was having a craving for Japanese food so we walked around to scout for one. Walked past Ichiban Boshi and quite liked the menu so we went in. We went straight for the kill and ordered a sashimi platter. (~$30) You really pay for what you get, the slices were so fresh and succulent, unlike the buffet ones that you usually get. Although it seemed pricey at first look but the moment we tasted the sashimi, we knew that it was all worth it. 

I also ordered my favourite Negitoro sushi. Negitoro is minced tuna - I don't know what about it makes it so special, is it the spring onions or mincing of the tuna that adds this special flavour to the dish. It is my no. 1 favourite Japanese sashimi ever since I first tasted them in Japan. 

We ordered a plethora of other stuff and the bill came up to be about $64 (including tax) and we could less off our $50 voucher. I finally understand why people would go to Ichiban Sushi and the lines are always crazy during meal times. We definitely will be back! Awesome Japanese food FTW!
