Of all the dishes, we prefer the pasta.
The pizza has too much onions and the calamari is too oily.

Ordered Ripper (Chicken) Super Value Meal which cost $6.20. Added an extra service of egg..

I am not accustomed to their ordering process. One places create a log-in profile and places their order online. Once the order has been made, you will receive a sms with the confirmation code. In order to activate the order, you have to key in the confirmation number into the system. Quite uncomfortable with the process as I am more used to someone taking my orders.

Nevertheless, for first time users, they are entitled to a cup of iced mocha.

The variety is limited but the quality is reasonable. They are also generous with their sauces. You can key in the number of packets of sauces required.

Isetan - Kyushu Fair

We went to the fair at Isetan for 2 consecutive weeks at Isetan, i.e. 11 to 22 March 2010.

Takoyaki - This was one of the best that we have ever tried. Ordered this twice. This is served hot with a huge slice of octopus. Yummy!


Seasoned Squid

Fried Squid - This is perfect if you like to have huge chunks of squid..



Seasoned Scallop

Potato Croquette - Got cheated again. When we sampled this at the counter, there seems to be additional ingredients inside. But, when we got this, it was just plain potato. Hai.

Fried Smelt Fish - This taste a bit similar to shisamo

I also topped the visit with a nice bucket of kumquat from kyushu. This cost 9 dollars.
This is taken together with the skin, which is not as sour as compared to the fruit.

This food selection served is pretty good. My favourite dish is the Takoyaki.
The Kyushu fair is one of the largest fair by Isetan, apart from Hokkaido.
This fair will now be held at Tampines Mall from 26 March to 4 April.
Will definitely give this fair a miss as the crowd at Tampines is always 4 to 5 times more than Orchard...

Isetan - Osaka Fair

This week features the Osaka Fair.

Some of the things which we bought were:

This is similar to okonomiyaki minus the vegetables. It is called Ikayaki. We ordered the mixed type, which consists of bacon, egg, spring onion and octopus.



Saba Sushi - This is so good. Mackerel without the bones yummy.
They also have the raw version as well. It tastes good too!



Anago Sushi


Shisamo Tempura

Scallops Tempura

This was so goood!

My favourite dishes were the raw and cooked mackerel sushi. I have always like mackerel as it is a tasty fish to indulge in. However, it has many bones in it which tends to put me off. Having mackerel served in the form of sushi is perfect as there are no bones to handle!! Having it cut thickly makes the whole experience heavenly with its fishy taste.

Another dish that was good was tempura shisamo. Unfortunately, this has to be consumed immediately as the tempura batter tends to get oily and sticky once it gets cold. We managed to get both scallops and shisamo right after it was cooked.
