Side-tracking a little, I've been to the Marché-style Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar at Raffles City. The variety of Japanese delights overwhelmed me but little did the taste. The bill totalled up to about $30 per pax and we were not exactly filled up. But that didn't stop me from dining at the Shokudo Japanese Pasta & Pizza and Shokudo Japanese Coffee House. I'm glad I did.
The Vongolé Bonito Soup($14.90) was very spicy and shiok! You can pick the pasta of your choice. Cooked with bonito broth instead of clam, it tasted less fishy. I slurped my soup to the last drop. Not enough white wine to get me drunk though.
TC ordered the Carbonara Shokudo Style which was served with a runny egg. Looks interesting. The pasta with scallops in basil sauce on the menu was very tempting too!
The Vongolé Soup Udon in spicy Japanese style soup($14.90) at Shokudo Japanese Coffee House tasted similar to the one from Shokudo Japanese Pasta, apart that it was not spicy. Both were good but this was more expected, like regular udon soup with clams.
This is the Omu Rice with grilled chicken(P ordered that I think) which I've no recollection of. I guess it's because I don't fancy teriyaki chicken. Yes, it's sweet. :P
MM didn't quite enjoy the hamburger because it was a tad burnt. My burger is still better! :P
T's favourite Katsu Curry was good but not fantastic. She enjoyed it however. I shall blog about where the best Japanese curry can be found soon.
The Mushroom Pizza is light and crisp. Topped with bonito flakes and thinly sliced shitake mushrooms. One is not enough.
My 7-year old niece insisted on ordering the fish & chips, which is something I won't order from a Japanese restaurant, turned out to be pretty decent.
The Ice Apple Vinegar ($4.90) is their must-try specialty drink. Sour at the first sip but sweet when it goes down your throat. Ask for lesser ice because it's a really small glass at $4.90. So good T had to order a second glass.
If you go late on a weekend, the Ice Apple Vinegar may be sold out. Try the Ice Yuzu Soda ($4.90) which is just as good.
Mocha ice-cream on tofu cheesecake. I was surprised how good the flavours complimented each other. I heard their Honey Toast is really good but we didn't have room for that. Next time!
The fulfilling meal was completed with excellent service(Bugis outlet). Oishi! :D
I love the food at Waraku and L told me the pasta are even better than Shokudo's. CH said it was ok. I shall judge it with my own tongue! :P

what a "tad" burnt? It's very burnt! and they didn't even offer to change a plate for me.... gross. Anyways... try the Jap restaurant that always happen to be closing when we (as in you, T and P) wanted to try. The one on the same level as Billy Bombers in Bugis. It's quite good.
HUH?! I thought we decided not to complain in the end. Did we? Which Jap restaurant??
