Beef & Tendon thick bee hoon noodle ($6.60) with an added egg ($0.80) is so good. The brooth is light, and the beef is so soft yet chewy, and egg, you can all taste the sauce it's been braising in. Super great on a rainy day.
Unlike its first bar, RPM specialises more in shochu drinks, there are many other variety still, and different from branch to branch. The vibe is not as quiet and cosy and more cafe like vibe and more crowded. Again, make reservation!
Portion is just right, lunch sets (mainly all dashi-zuke) are as it is, not much variety like their dinner menu, so fewer drinks, and sides available. Lunch is somewhat crowded, dwindle down by 1pm, good to make a reservation. And be sure to check their monthly special.
Make a reservation! The drinks are good here, the variety is interesting and you can customise your drinks by base etc. Food is delicious, portion is small though.
The place is... Interesting. The drinks per say are intriguing, but not very lasting in memory. Will not be doing a revisit to the bar.
Hidden within plain view, we would have walked by this little gem of a place had it not been hunger and being convinced by my friend that night on having the wagyu on their menu.Â
The two Japanese chef run this place, and have great control of timing for the food cooking. There is light and little seasoning to bring out the flavor of each dish without compromising the flavor of the ingredients. The chefs are attentive and will cook the dish accordingly by observing how quickly or slowly that you eat. They have excellent service as well in recommending what to order and good knowledge on the menu.Â
P.S. If you order the prawn, retain the head and you can request for the chefs to make a crispy prawn head 'cracker' dish. It slipped my mind that we could have done that, and it is something to not be missed!
Alcohol range is good in pairing with the food, it is the dessert that I find so perfect to end the meal with. The sweetness of it and the softness is something out of this world, and yet it holds that refreshing change in taste to leave you satisfied, but wanting more.Â
The menu will change accordingly to the season and ingredients that the chef orders. I'm most definitely looking forward to my next visit with Teppan Works!
You'll find that in this cosy little space, most of those that are on the menu, their main constant ingredient that requires milk, is Hokkaido Milk.
I had the JIBIE milk coffee with the matcha yuzu cheesecake with some drips of mango sauce.
Milk coffee really is rich milky, close to that of a coffee milk than milk coffee.
Matcha Yuzu cheesecake, the cheesecake is matcha, yuzu comes in the form of a sorbet at the side on top of some crumble. It is not overly jelat like how most cheesecake then to be when you eat too much. This is just so sublime, and it goes so well with the mango sauce. Sorbet is mainly there as a change of palate and best on it's own with the crumble, and this is definitely the one to steal the show in this dessert.
Can't wait to go back to try the cream puff!
A slice of yuzu raspberry cake ($9) the white layers are filled with melt in your mouth and filled with yuzu, the sponge layers soft and moist with layers of raspberry jam is tart and comes together. The icing cream layer a soft pink with a nice raspberry after taste that gives it a fruity perfume like taste. Overall the taste comes together very nicely.
Latte ($5.50) is good without sugar and goes well with the cake, the roast of the beans is average.
The place nice, cozy and quiet with awarm lighting and a welcoming vibe. A great place to relax and get away.
