Tsuru-Koshi

 Located next to Saboten is Tsuru-Koshi, whose flagship stall at Takashimaya Food Hall has received rave reviews about the "slip-down-the-throat" udon. I have been meaning to try out this restaurant and now I have finally gotten my chance. 

 
Besides udon, Tsuru-Koshi also serves value-for-money bento sets.
 
 
 
If you are looking for a light meal, you can order bento sets such as Saba Shioyaki Bento Set or Salmon Sashimi Bento Set. Each set comes with a salad and fresh fruit, balancing out the oiliness.
 

 

 
If you are more greedy like me, go ahead and order the Tonkotsu Kakiage Udon Bento Set instead where you get a grilled prawn, salad, fresh fruit, kakiage, teriyaki chicken and saba shioyaki. 

 

 

 
Each bento set comes with a Mini Don or Mini Udon.

 

 
Tsuru-Koshi is famous for its udon and my main aim in visiting this restaurant is to try their udon. I like to sample foods in its purest form, so I ordered Tonkotsu Udon. I have to say that I generally do not like udon because it is usually thick and tasteless but Tsusru-Koshi's udon has made me change my mind. It is really slip-down-the-throat smooth and its firm and springy texture sends waves of pleasure with every bite. However, its tonkotsu broth tastes more like a blend of chicken and miso stock and it is really rather salty. The light stock compliments the silky udon perfectly, I just feel a little cheated because it is not actually tonkotsu broth.
 
I am fully convinced that Tsuru-Koshi serves excellent udon although I do think they need to work on the broth. The quality of the bento sets can vary quite a bit but I cannot deny that they are value-for-money. Although there is still much room for improvement, it is a great place for families and couples and everyone else in between.

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...
