Eat at Seven: Tsuruhashi Fugetsu - Famous Osaka Okonomiyaki Restaurant is Here in Singapore!

  Tsuruhashi Fugetsu

 
Okonomiyaki is a combination of two Japanese words, “okonomi” which means “how you like” or “what you like” and “yaki” which means “grill”. Okonomiyaki is a speciality of the Kansai region, there are numerous okonomiyaki restaurants in Osaka where okonomiyaki is said to have originated.
 
The batter (which is made of flour, grated nagaimo (a type of yam, water or dashi, eggs and shredded cabbage) is cooked with other ingredients such as green onions, meat, octopus, squid, shrimp, vegetables, konjac or cheese.

Besides having the okonomiyaki the normal way, you can also opt to layer fresh egg noodles on top of your okonomiyaki, Tsuruhashi Fugetsu calls it “modanyaki”.

Whet your appetite with one of the small bite dishes as you wait for your main meal. There are a number of choices from  Gyusuji-Teppanyaki [$10.80++] and Chizu-Tonpei-Yaki [$11.80++] to Kaisen-Yaki Moriawase [$23.80++] and Nira-Tama [$7.80++]. The one I have here is Tonpei-Yaki [$9.80++] which is Osaka-style pork omelette. The pork slices are cooked before being enveloped in the egg omelette, which gives the omelette a nice bite.

As a cheese lover, I was really looking forward to trying the Cheetama-Buta-Tama [$14.80++ for okonomiyaki, $16.80++ for modanyaki] but I was rather disappointed. The okonomiyaki sauce has overpowered the creaminess of the cheese which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish. All I can taste is the sweetness of the cabbage, the egg and pork and the overwhelming sweetness of the okonomiyaki sauce.

Fugetsuyaki (Mix) [$20++ for okonomiyaki, $22++ for modanyaki] is the restaurant’s signature dish and it is also their most popular dish. Everything is prepared fresh upon order, so you will have to wait 20 minutes. The sweetness of the cabbage is accentuated by the pork, squid, prawn and beef pieces and the fresh egg noodles add a healthy dose of carbohydrates to ensure a filling and satisfying meal. 
 
For those who want to revisit the authentic taste of Osaka okonomiyaki and those who want to try how an authentic Osaka okonomiyaki tastes like, Tsuruhashi Fugetsu is the place to be.

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...

                        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...
