Food at your convenience

Stopped by because they had my favourite tossed instant noodles in Sichuan spices which is rare because not places will serve it with instant noodles.

To be precise, it was Indomie noodles which are coarse and not that springy.

The noodles were as good as I expected but they also put the Indomie seasoning which made it too sweet. There was alot of grounded meat and preserved vegetables in it as well.

Dessert time at Ice Pop

Went here again because my friends wanted to try the icecream with the syringe which I tried earlier.

There were two more different flavours this time so tried it as well.

The lemon cake which I was hoping to try was sold out so tried the yuzu cheesecake and the tropical cheesecake.

[b]Yuzu cheesecake:[/b] and the [b]Tropical cheesecake:[/b]

Both were dense and creamy, but I preferred the tropical because it had a stronger taste.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

[b]Apple crumble:[/b]

It was just as nice as before and the taste of the icecream was milky which went well with the delicious apple pieces.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

[b]Gingerbread:[/b]

There was a strong ginger and cinnamon taste but it was quite sweet.

Japanese ricemania

As well as lunch, the dinner here is good.
My favourites were the rice dishes.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet n sour miyazaki chicken tartar sauce

Started off with the chicken which was the usual chicken coated in batter served with tartar sauce.
The coating was a bit too soggy though.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mizayazaki beef sashimi

The beef was delicately sliced and paired nicely with the grated ginger.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu and avocado salad with homemade soy dressing

The salad was really good because of the dressing, the dressing was not a sauce but consisted of crispy fried ingredients which made the tofu and avocado tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steamed rice with zuwai crab in mini pot

This was my favourite because the rice absorbed all the sweetness from the crab and the grains of rice were soft but not clumpy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawn tempura and cream cheese roll with bonito flakes

The rolls were nice because of the cream cheese.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy potato salad with roasted sesame dressing

This was another good salad because the crispy potato pieces were really tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Hakata cod roe fried rice

Last but not least, this was my favourite because the rice was soft and fried just right that each grain was coated with so much roe.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Drunken kuruma prawn

The prawn cooked in various of ways before it was served and they have cooked the little legs of the prawn and made them crispy to eat which will definitely go well with beer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Finished the meal with Dumpling and red bean wafer and green tea icecream on wafer dish.

EDO Japanese Restaurant from Macau

Tried the Lunch and Seasonal specials at EDO Japanese Restaurant.

For lunch had the whole grained soba salad from Yamagata in salad style and weekend oyster lemon hotpot.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The soba was jazzed up with the julienne Chinese radish and carrots which gave it extra crunch, after adding the sesame sauce, the noodles were nice and tasty.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

oyster lemon hotpot:

This was delicious, there was oysters in a simmering pot with lemons slices which made the oysters very appetizing.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

From the seasonal menu, tried the following:

Seko crab
Thin sliced horse head fish
Suppon turtle in tofu soup
Lobster with truffle sauce
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Seko crab:

This was a beautifully presented box with crab and roe in it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Thin sliced horse head fish:

I thought that this dish was creative because it was thinly sliced fish with the sauce made from the liver of that fish which was rich and creamy.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Suppon turtle in tofu soup:

As I am not an expert on Japanese food I thought that this was Chinese because it had turtle in it, but after looking it up, it turns out they really do have turtle soup.
It was interesting because I have never tried Turtle before and my first time trying it was in a Japanese restaurant.
The soup had a strong herbal taste because this soup is supposed to warm people up in the winter.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Lobster with truffle sauce:

The lobster was mixed in creamy truffle sauce and the texture of the lobster was springy.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The dessert ended with creamy Hokkaido milk pudding and the best Warabi cake I have ever tried because it was really soft coated in delicious bean powder.

A slice of watermelon bread

Previously, this shop used to be Nicoles Patisserie but now it is called Tomakukki but they also sell Nicole's cookies.

The star at Tomakukki is the watermelon bread.

I have always wanted to try it because it is a loaf of bread that looks like a watermelon.

Thanks to mkk for sharing a slice with me.

It doesn't have any distinct watermelon taste so it tastes like normal bread and it tastes nice with jam or spread that you would normally put on it.

Artistic presentation at Fairwood

I don't really expect anything from Fairwood but the presentation of the food was colourful and artistic but I ended up seeing the funny side of it.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Beef curry:[/b]

The beef curry was surprisingly good because it did not contain coconut milk so it was nice and strong however it lacked some spicyness and the beef tendons were not soft enough.

The presentation of the rice and vegetables were quite cute!

Lovely cheese and tomato toastie from Zai Fe

Randomly came here and the prawn and chicken pie was interesting but it was a strange pairing for a pie because prawn is not usually paired with chicken.
Anyway, decided to get the toastie.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
cheese and tomato toastie:

Ok, there was not much cheese in the toastie.

Althought there was not much cheese in the toast, it was proper cheese which tasted amazing, the sourness of the tomato and the saltiness of the cheese were so delicious together and the bread was toasted just right with a crisp surface and soft centre.
