Menzo Butao (Marina Square)

Menzo Nutao is founded by Yasuhiko Kurata who is a well-known ramen producer in Japan with 23 outlets in Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, US, Thailand and Taiwan.  

 
Menzo Butao has just two kinds of ramen: a  Hakata Ramen, which is available in three distinctive soups: Butao (White - original), Kuroo (Black - thick) and Akao (Red - spicy) and Hokkaido Ramen, namely Gyokai Ramen. The soup stock is flown in to ensure the authenticity and  consistency of flavour.  
 

 

 

 
Menzo Butao is one of the first restaurants to adopt the iPad ordering system. You simply key in your order in the encased iPad on your table and your order will be sent directly to the kitchen where they will start preparing your order right away. The number of staff can be reduced and the food arrives quicker at the customer's table. It's a win-win solution.
 
 
 
Hakkata Ramen (they call it Cha Shu Ramen) originates from Hakata district of Fukuoka in Kyushu. The broth is rich, milky tonkotsu broth paired with thin and non-curly noodles.The broth is a little saltier than the tonkotsu broth I am used to having at Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King.

 

 
Gyokai Ramen comes from Hokkaido. Hokkaido is well-known for their amazing seafood and this is reflected in their ramen. There is a slight hint of the sea, a light and soothing broth. Paired with succulent chashu, flavoured egg and springy noodles, it is very satisfying.

 

 
Gyoza is pan-fried till crispy and golden and filled with delicious pork fillings. The only disappointment is it is a little dry, Gyoza King still remains my favorite place for gyoza.
 
 
This is the first time I am having Cha Shu Maki. I could never imagine putting chashu in sushi, but Menzo Butao managed to pull it off by pairing chashu with mayonnaise and cucumber and finished with a coating of fish roe. The cucumber and mayonnaise balances the chunkiness and toughness of chashu while the coating of fish roe add a satisfying crunchiness. 
 
 
End your meal with Hokkaido Milk Pudding. It's plain and simple, exactly as it should be. Nothing can beat the velvety-smoothness and richness of this dessert. 
 
Menzo Butao offers over 20 styles of Hakkata and Hokkaido Ramen, each bowl named after special ingredients. The restaurant has recently introduced a value-for-money lunch promotion and curry rice sets.

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...
