Koki Tamagoyaki - Japanese Egg Omelette and Choux Puffs at Raffles City Basement

 The basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre is a food haven with many interesting restaurants such as WHEAT, Tokyo Sundubu, Andong Zzimdak, PODI and Daikokuya Ramen Dining. 

 
I have recently discovered a few new stalls and one of them is Koki Tamagoyaki. As the name implies, Koki Tamogoyaki specialists in tamagoyaki, a popular Japanese snack that is made by rolling together layers of cooked egg in a rectangular omelette pan called makiyakinabe. It sounds simple enough, but the proper technique in controlling the pan and flipping the eggs take years to practice.
 
Koki Tamagoyaki
 
In Singapore, Tamagoyaki is usually served in the form of nigiri and sushi rolls, I was delighted to learn that Koki Tamogoyaki serves daishimaki tamago, one of the hardest variation of tamagoyaki. Daishimaki Tamago is made using eggs, dashi, mirin and shoyu (Japanese soy sauce). 
 
Koki Tamagoyaki
 
Koki Tamagoyaki offers their signature tamagoyaki as Ala Carte, Bento and Value Bento. Ala Carte offers 6 pieces of dashimaki tamago with your choice of topping, Bento has 3 pieces of daishimaki tamago and murshroom rice while the Value Bento lets you choose any 2 of the 4 toppings available to go with the 3 pieces of dashimaki tamago and mushroom rice.

Koki Tamagoyaki - Flame-Grilled Unagi
 
Flame-Grilled Unagi [$10.50 in Ala Carte] is one of the most popular toppings and it is not difficult to see why. The soft and succulent pieces of eel are torched till the outside are slightly charred. Served with house-made teriyaki sauce, the softness of the eel goes perfectly with the eggy tamagoyaki. 
 
Koki Tamagoyaki - Braised Japanese Cha Shu
 
Braised Japanese Cha Shu [$9.90 in Ala Carte] is another favourite of the patrons of Koki Tamagoyaki. The three slices of cha shu that is served on top of the tamagoyaki have been braised for 8 hours in a house-made teriyaki sauce. 
Koki Tamagoyaki - Shuu by Koki
Koki Tamagoyaki Shuu by Koki - Five Flavors
 
Koki Tamagoyaki - Shuu by Koki (Vanilla)
Koki Tamagoyaki - Shuu by Koki (Raspberry and Rose)
Koki Tamagoyaki - Shuu by Koki (Matcha)
Koki Tamagoyaki - Shuu by Koki (Coffee)
Koki Tamagoyaki - Shuu by Koki (Black Sesame)
 
Besides tamagoyaki with various detectable toppings, Koki Tamagoyaki also sells Shuu by Koki, a French-Japanese choux puff that reminds me of Hattendo Cafe's cream buns. There are 5 flavours to choose from: Raspberry and Rose, Earl Grey, Matcha, Vanilla and Black Sesame. My favourites are the Raspberry & Rose and Vanilla, but it is a little expensive at $4.30 a piece, but the deliciousness of the puffs makes it a great treat to indulge in once in a while. 
 
I am amazed how Koki Tamagoyaki is able to produce both sweets and savouries all in that small kitchen, but the impeccable quality of the food will have you coming back for more.

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.

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...
