Ichiban Boshi (Suntec City) - Another "Memorable" Dining Experience

I have to say, Ichiban Boshi (Suntec City) never fails to make my dining experience an "memorable" one. I thought it can't get any worse than my horrifying first dining experience at Ichiban Boshi (Suntec City), especially when I have taken Stella's suggestion of ordering their bento sets which is supposed to be their strong suit.  

 
 
I was promptly seated at a counter seat and my order was promptly taken. Then, I waited and waited ... waited and waited till I could not stand it any longer. How long could a plate of cold soba (which is probably already cooked beforehand and just waiting to be served) and a bowl of chicken katsudon? I finally managed to lock eyes with a female staff who smiled at me ... and she went about doing her own things. I finally got hold of another female staff who went to help me check and my meal miraculously appeared in the next one minute. 
 

 

 
I ordered Chasoba & Katsu Don Gozen which consists of ...

 

 
soggy Green Tea Flavoured Noodles ...
 
 
Mini Chicken Cutlet with Scrambled Egg Rice Bowl which tastes very normal ...
 
 
surprisingly fresh Salmon Sashimi ...
 
 
my favourite Appetizer of Hiyayakko (Japanese cold tofu) ... 

 

 
Miso Soup ...

 

 
 and Fruit which is two pieces of watermelon.

 

At least this time, the food is reasonably fresh although it is nowhere near fantastic. I don't think I will be visiting this restaurant anytime soon because I don't really fancy spending 30 minutes either waiting for someone to notice me and bring me to a seat; or waiting to spot my waving and take my order; or waiting to have my food delivered to me. The waiting really gets to me.

Is it just pure coincidence that Suntec City happens to house the worst outlet of two chain restaurants (namely Ichiban Boshi and The Manhattan Fish Market)?

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
