Mai Maison, 11th Feb 2007

We were on our way to Man Fu Yuan to try out their Dim Sum, but unfortunately we were turnway, due to the fully reserved table.. we were very disappointed and walk away angrily...

 

So we decided to recce around the premises to see what other eateries that we can find..

We spotted this restaurant which is located at one corner, and it is a fusion between the Jap and the west.. so without hesitation, we walked in...

 

 

 

 

We were greeted by a polite manager of the restaurant, she showed us to our seating place, and there we find one whole set of colourful menu.. The Menu is really picture friendly, and it makes you say quick quick.. i want it now... and straight away we know what we want...

 

 

we quickly told the manager what we want in english, .. and suddenly she reply us in japanese ... we were stunned at that moment, and she was stunned too as we dont understand what she was trying to said.. she apologise, and thought we are jap.. We asked her "do we look like japanese", she replied in a honest look "yes, 100% sure".. wow.. I wonder what makes her think we were jap? after she left, we analyse our movemement, it could be the fact that the way our body language show, and we are not noisy couple ...

 

After we order our food, I notice their decor are unique. And with their old west theme  and plus their antiques western decor, it really makes u feel u are going back to the old times...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

here come the starter... at least it we are not bored while mucnhing the bread

 

 

Plate Lunch set consists of a Soup of the day, which is the mushroom soup and compliment with a small bowl of salad. You can actually tell the different between a canned soup and a natural soup... it is tasty and doesnt have any taste of MSG at all...

 

 

here comes our first dish - Hamburger stew is really boiling hot.. so remember to eat it with care...

 

here come the tofu burger with Omelette, the burger taste soft and puffy, with the sunny side egg, it taste great when the york start to fill up your burger... the Demaglace sauce does not taste salty, that is what make the dish great

 

 

 

The Plate Lunch set of Omellete covered on Tomatoe flavoured rice, and with its western plate plus the Japanese dish, it is not bad a combination after all

 

 

Omu rice set, it is a litte different from the one that we eat from outside.  The cheaper version from the food court are more like scrambled egg that put ontop of the tomato flavour rice.. but when come to Ma Maison their egg is smooth and tasty.. the next time i come here.. i will definitely try this...

 

 

here come our tea set and ice cream, which is coming to the finale...

 

 

 

this is really cool.. when you are to pay your bill, dont forget to bring this key along, this key is tell the cashier which table you are on and they ching ching accordingly

 

 

this is a place i would like to go again... very retro ambience, nice waiter and waiteress...

 

here is the place

Ichiban Sushi, 19th May 2007

 

After our swimming this morning... we wanted to go to the Ichiban Sushi again.. the last time we went for last wednesday..the reason why we want to go there again is that their service is really good and they always serve with a smile...

 

and whenever they see your table is empty, they keep on coming back and check if our order had been taken..

 

 

Colourful menu will always make you hungry

 

 

 

this time we order the same set Unagi Bento.. the last time we ate the same, but dont have the chance to take any pictures of it... this set is really worth it.. please check pictures...

 

 

 it comes with a big plate of Unagi,

 

 

a plate of tempura,

 

 

a plate of Tori Kaarage

 

 

a plate of salmon sashimi,

Finally the day has come for Transfromer to screen, and I have actually book the ticket 1 week advance...

Our itin was really pack with activities, in the morning, we will go for a swim followed by a Dim Sum session at the Cathay Restaurant, then the movie...

Anyway, the agenda today is EAT!!!... haha that is right,,,, The Cathay restaurant,,, I should say the serve quite authentic Cantonese dim sum, and for those who drives, the parking is free from 11 am to 2 pm... so be sure you guys are there early to get a lot...

Most of the dim sum that we ordered are superb, except the rice roll is a little disappointment

The price for all dim sum is very afforfable, and the menu are colourful and clear too. The waiteresses are polite and nice.. and service is up to expectation.. so go ahead try it

This is what we order ...

dried scallop steam dumpling is soft on the outer skin and juicy on the inside, the fillings is full with fresh prawn and with the dried scallop bits on top... mmmm delicious

Steam Custard Bun is big and the the custard is not as as good as East Ocean .. but it worth a try

Siu Mai is big and the fillings are rich and full, and with the crab roe sprinkle on top of it, it brings out the freshness of the sea

this is one of the best Phoenix claw i have taste beside East Ocean and Wah Lok.. it is fat and juicy with a little to it.. it really spice up your appetite..

Za-Leung is the really not that great.. it is just too flat, and with its sauce pouring onto it.. the fried dough absorbed it and make it soggy.. that is not what za-leung suppose to taste

Siew Mai and Har Gao is using the same freshness of prawn, and the the unique part will be they have actually wrap it differenty from the tradtional wrapping...

Longevity  Bun

Fried carrot cake is always our favourite, and with its light golden brown on the outside, you can feel the crispiness and will make you wanting to have more.. but please drink more tea with it

Guo Tie is really not impressive at all..

but over all, I think you should give it a try, as it is not bad after all..

here is the address

We found this nice place on the Sentosa brochures. We took a Yellow Line bus from the Departure/Arrival station, and you need alight at Beaufort, the restaurant is not far away, well probably a 5 mins walk to Sentosa Golf Club..

When we reach the restaurant, it has a feel that this is different from the rest of a Japanese restaurant.. a little upper class..

We were ushered to our seat, and the whole restaurant only has 2 group of customer, one group is full of japanese (5 ppl) and the other group will be me and my wife.

I like the way they arrange their table setting, and that you dont see in most of the japanese restaurant.. grand and elegant

The waiteress serve us green tea, and follow by Entre dish.. nice...

remember to check out the tea cup,, it is very unique and exquisite, looks that the two side of the handle.. at one glance you can tell it is different

Browsing the menu, jeezz.... no pictures... so we have to use our memory to call out some of the dishes we ate before with other jap restaurant..

We ordered a Chirashi Don.. When I first tuck in, WOW!!!.. this is the best Chirashi Don I have ever taste, better then Tonkichi Restaurant.. the one I have is price at $45, but they have another one @ $60 (deluxe version)...  the fish are fresh and tasty and once it is in your mouth.  It is really heaven  and I really enjoy it

Sanma Shio (a kind of seasonal fish), the seasonal fish, sweet, tender and crispy..:)

Nyu-men tempura, has a very nice and fresh soup base with bouncy noodle.. as for tempura.. it is very normal... but nonetheless, you should try

the only dislike will be the California Maki.  They splur too little crab roe ... hehehe.. but other than that.. they are all fresh with ingredient.

I think you should try the Agedashi Tofu here... it is really different from most of the restaurant in the Singapore mainland... tofu is soft and the skin is crispy, when i said crispy, it is really crispy .. cool!

a side dish Sakuraebi Kakiage (prawn and vege tempura)

after we finished are whole meal, we were served with a hot houji-cha, nice scent and reducing fat and cholesterol

we have check with the waiteress, they have 2 restaurant iin the mainland, one in Le Meridien, the other in Japanese Association...

well...

you can always drive your way to Sentosa, Sentosa Resort and Spa..

This is definitely a good place for traditional Jap food... here is the address
