Hakata Ippudo (Westgate)

 Ippudo, also known as Hakata Ippudo in Japan, was first started in 1985 in Fukuoka City of Japan. Ippudo has since expanded to become a Japanese ramen chain restaurant with outlets in 13 countries and counting. Ippudo arrived in Singapore in 2009 with its flagship outlet in Mandarin Gallery. 

 
Many well-established food bloggers unanimously agree that Ippudo is one of the best Japanese ramen restaurants in Singapore. Let's find out how good their ramen is at the newly-opened outlet at Westgate.
 

 

 
Shiromaru is Ippudo's signature ramen. I love flavored egg so I ordered Shiromaru Tamago. The tonkotsu broth is one of the better ones I have tasted so far although it still loses to Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King, served with distinctively thin and straight Hakata noodles. 

 

 
The homemade panna cotta of Azuki Panna Cotta is thick and creamy. Azuki (red beans) is blended into the rich dessert and topped with sweet azuki beans and whipped cream. The blending of azuki breaks into panna cotta makes this Japanese-French fusion dessert taste even better. 
 
Besides serving ramen, Ippudo also has a selection of detectable side dishes such as Spicy Shrimp Mayo and Ippudo Pork Bun, many of which have garnered praises from many Singaporeans.

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...
