Meixin has kinda said she quite likes this place (the Chijmes outlet) so decided to do dinner here together.
i was early so while waiting, was taking pics.
the interior....
the very comfy sofa seats....
its super comfy! its probably the most comfy restaurant seats ever!
We had the Broiler Beef...
one side looks cooked while the other looks raw....
and its served semi cold. didnt find this very nice. while its not lousy, there was not much taste.
den theres the grilled pork belly wif walnut sauce ($12.80)....
a closer up view...
after one bite...
its GOOD. after one bite, i told Meixin.. " erm.. u take fatty parts? " ... Meixin replied.. " wo zui xi huan "... and i replied in a very still tone.. " den ni kuai dian chi "... meixin replied ... " why? " i replied.. " tai hao chi le! " ie. its fabulous! from the surface, u totally cannot see the fats! Also, like Meixin said, every bite u can feel the sound of biting into the meat... oh so good!
Salmon sashimi...
avocado wif soft shell roll....
a closer up view....
while the rolls are ok, i didnt find it particularly nice especially since i feel dat i cant quite taste the soft shell crab. and this dish was quite filling. haha
den theres the potato and cheese hakata fry ($7.80)...
a closer up view....
after my first bite, i felt the cheese ooze out and theres that long strand of cheese as i pulled it out of my mouth. so when Meixin took her bite, i quickly whipped out my camera and.....
There u go! haha
its pretty good. a little saltish on the surface but i like it. pretty soft and cheesy on the inside.
den theres the golden mushroom wrapped in beef slice and the scallop...
the golden mushroom wrapped in beef slices...
the golden mushrooms are darn chewy! so hard to bite them off!
can u imagine i was eating and meixin was talking to me and i was stuck in the same position for a long time coz i was trying hard to bite the numerous golden mushrooms into two....
and Meixin suddenly stopped talking about watever she was talking about and den she asked me... " hen nan yao shi ma? " hahahhaa.. and she quickly whipped out my camera and did the same ting i did to her earlier....
a close up of the scallops...
the scallop was really good! tasty and big and fresh!
there was also the chicken and broccoli curry oven yaki ($10.80)....
served on a hot plate over a flame...
the broccoli cheese....
the curry smells strong but doesnt haf a very strong smell. the broccoli was so soft! the rest of the items (chicken and potato) were not bad.
also ordered a prawn wif rice and seaweed dish....
a closer up view...
We were so fulll we merely finished the prawns. was quite nice.. soft on the inside, the right texture.
and although we were really full, i just had to order their tofu cheesecake! Im really curious to know how a tofu cheesecake would taste like.
the cheesecake came in a really delicate presentation....
initially, we thot that the wooden thing has a lid on to... its only when we pulled up the box dat we realised its opened up like this.....
the cheesecake....
its really quite good! not the slimy kind of cheesecake.. the texture is close of that of a cheesecake and a pudding. the biscuit layer below is so good... great combi. meixin said she can taste the tofu but i cant really taste it. its good anyways!
Dinner came up to around $95 (inclusive of a discount of.. cant rem how much coz meixin had the coupon)

Been there a couple of times. I like the tofu cheese cake too....and some hand ground black sesame paste dessert which I don't remember the name.
It is 15% discount for dinner. haha now i know the cost of the dinner and will find another dinner venue of similar value next time and treat you back.. Thanks for the treat babe =) I love pork belly!!!!
meixin.. haha... no need la.. i love the pork belly too! *winks*
lionel... i saw that.. tot of tryin but was too full! haha
I probably want to go back there again sometime. It's not really japanese japanese in the traditional sense for the food, but I guess they're not too bad and the ambience is quite pleasant.
