Halal Jap Food Didn’t have the opportunity to take proper pictures, the food looked too good to resist! First off, it literally took them 10 minutes for the food to constantly arrive, which i commend them for! Second, the food is so goooooood, even though my pics dont do this place justice. Really good for a halal restaurant We ordered: Garlic fried rice ($10) Unagi ($18) Mentai Chicken Cutlet ($16) The Garlic fried rice is delishhhhhh, i recommend you guys to share the portions (order mains to share and maybe share the rice as well, ordered 2 garlic rice bowls for 3 of us), even though it is small but it is adequent.

Unagi Fried Rice ($14) First time eating at a muslim-owned Japanese restaurant and their offerings were many and tasty. The bowl came with small pieces of unagi served on a bed of fried rice. Fried with egg, the rice was flavourful though abit dry and salty. The unagi was of reasonably good quality, slightly charred and crisp, with a sticky sweet taste from the sauce. A satisfying donburi dish overall!

For Hearty Japanese Rice Bowls and Steak in Bugis While this spot is popular after work, their foolproof rice bowls are a great excuse to come at lunch. Opt for the crowd favourite Salmon Hotate Chirashi Don ($16) that comes with scallop, cubes of salmon, tamago, nori and topped with an abundance of fish roe. If you're feeling famished, the filling Grilled Ribeye ($24) might be a better option. Think well-seasoned meat accompanied by two kinds of wasabi pastes for the ultimate pairing!

Protein Financiers As a huge fan of financiers, I was really excited to try @leanbento's new Protein Financiers, which are halal-certified, fluffy, and low-calorie, but without highly-processed protein, artificial flavourings and additives. These Protein Financiers were developed by their founder @yangyang.charles, who created this to make up for always missing his meals, his urge to snack, and desire to stay lean, while cutting back on processed foods and staying youthful. It works very well as a lean pre/post workout snack, meal replacement, child-friendly snack, with just 179kcal per financier. Flavours I tried included White Sesame, Black Sesame, Butter and Cinnamon. Cinnamon was my favourite, with it being the most flavourful, and overall all the financiers were pretty soft, not too dry, and great as a snack! There's also other flavours such as Chocolate and Matcha, which sounded pretty interesting too!

Halal Ramen At Jurong East We ordered 3 different ramen. Taste okok. It cost $15 ish per bowl. This place also sells halal ingredients for cooking

Teriyaki Chicken Don This Don was (~ $8.00). I'd say they could afford a lot more generosity with the meat. Wasn't the most satisfying kind of Teriyaki Don I was looking for 🥺

Get The Chawamushi! Please get the chawanmushi here. It is very value for money with some additional ingredients aside from just the normal steamed egg. Isaramuya is one of the few halal Japanese places in the west. While I wouldn’t rave about the food in general (my sushi kinda fell apart quite easily) :/ the service is good and food is served rather quickly.

Crunchy Chicken $7.9 Leave any notion of moderation behind, Fatty Bom Bom's chicken cutlet is a guilty pleasure I’d like a repeat performance of. Featuring 2 very large pieces of chicken cutlet, a mountain of wedges, coleslaw and a fried dinner roll, this will leave you stuffed and then some. - Each cutlet is incredibly crunchy on the outside, and oh so juicy and tender within, a combination of this quality that's not oft found in hawker western fare. The wedges also score well, they are crisp yet fluffy and none too stodgy. Taste: 3/5

Black Pepper Chicken, $7.20 Black Pepper Chicken, $7.20. Monday happiness! Savory Black Pepper Sauce overflowing their relatively huge piece of grilled chicken pan-fried to crispy edges, with lots of Cajun fries generously seasoned with paprika powder and a grilled bun! We are attracted to how it sizzles when served, so appetising! It’s so worth it for the price, most items on the menu were less than $10 and portion is huge and filling! . . . ✅ They are also Halal Certified Western! .

Fatty Bom Crunchy Chicken (S$ 7.20) There was a time in life when I was in Singapore that I went all the way to Toa Payoh to get halal (& cheap!) Western food. Price didn’t disappoint, but flavour wise I thought it could be slightly better. I would want to come again to try out the beef dishes though, apparently they are good.

Seafood Fettuccine in Cream Sauce Walking past this shop for so many times whenever going to Marina Square via Esplanade MRT Station, and this evening I finally decided to come here to grab my dinner. An Italian restaurant that not stranger to many people, and they have a very interesting story on how the owner started this F&B business. You may check it out by searching about it online. The cream sauce was indeed tasty and not too overwhelming, tastes well with the seafood. They also have some value add on to complete your meal here with set that comes with soup, drink and dessert. At the end of your meal, they will provide you a piece of paper to ask for your feedback.

Mushroom Aglio Olio [$11.70] Well-executed Aglio olio, with just mushrooms. Taste was great and very affordable for the portion.

Olive Rice w/ Pork Eat good food while you making good deeds. With only $12.20 I had meals, soup, drink and dessert. Worth to try and highly recommended.

Ondeh butter cake 10.9++ No more ondeh sponge cake Quite soft and light tasting actl. More pandan, there wasn't rlly gula melaka. Accompaniments were meh Again very overpriced

Laksam kelantan 28.9++ This is good. It does tastes like laksa, in terms of the spices. But it's thicker cos of the minced mackerel i think. Also, it's rice rolls instead of rice noodles The sambal has this particular jammy sweetness that's abit weird but it works when you mix it in However, the price is ridiculous lol

sirloin steak and fries was not bad! good place to hang out.

Aged balsamic & mozzarella for the flavours, medley of garden veg for everyone. Always a joy to be back chatting with the Chef with the great food he offers · Edwin and Cooks @edwinandcooks.sg

St Louis Pork Rib A decent portion for most customers, this S$18.00 main course was slightly different from the rest, as mother chilli was actually added in the BBQ sauce that was spread over the slow-cooked pork ribs. The meat was easy to eat with just a fork, implying that it was thoroughly cooked, as the symphony of flavours left me pretty pleased. And of course, I realised that I enjoyed having kale salad to go with my food, so this choice was somewhat better than some other pasta dishes that were served here. But I liked them all anyway. Despite a new indoor seating area that was added to this neighbourhood restaurant, you might probably see their regular customers insisting on the corridor seats. If you were lucky, Chef Edwin might even strike a conversation with you to share more about his passion in this.

Me and my Son is not a veggie person, but now we love kale. Thanks to @susteniragriculture and @edwinandcooks.sg to intro us that veggie can be yummy. @susteniragriculture provide produce that grown in an environment that is 100% clean without soil and no exposure to pesticides, insects, external pollution and heavy metals. The kale is fresh and taste not as bitter as usual and I can just eat it raw. Amazing right!

Duck Confit Also a fan of duck confit, i decided to try their rendition of the duck confit which is served with black rice, honey garlic soy sauce, potato gratin, asparagus and maple apple. the duck leg was really tender and early to cut into. but i felt their sauce was too sweet and the black rice was slightly weird. for me, only the gratin worked well with the duck leg.

wild salmon fettuccine, mala spicy chicken pop really love the ambience here- it’s so cosy where you get to sit on sofas which were slightly low but not that convenient for a meal. chit chats and high teas would be great here. good dating spot here too as it’s pretty quiet onto the food, i ordered my fave dish here after i tried it at their jewel outlet and that would be the wild salmon fettuccine!!! really well balanced dish. we ordered a side of mala spicy chicken pop which is a different take your usual kfc popcorn chicken.

Beijing Dynasty Crepes Duck Confit Duck confit, Japanese cucumber and chives wrapped in crepe served with balsamic glaze, truffle and argula salad I was swoon over by arteas-tiq (pun intended) presentation of the peking duck roll. My first thought: hooray to a fuss-free, mess-free version of the peking duck! It’s all rolled up and nicely and sliced into bite size versions- no need to get your hands dirty at all! The best part? I’m probably paying a fraction of the price I otherwise would have if I had to order a full peking duck to satisfy any peking duck cravings. Taking in the first bit, I could taste the hoisin sauce and crisp cucumber. It was refreshing, yet and umami. I like how the egg crepe was done perfect - nothing like rubbery tapes or prata that’s been left out for long in the open. The disappointment tho - was that there isn’t any crispy peking duck skin (too much to expect for something at this price point I guess!) and the shredded duck was a tad too salty for my liking. Would I order this again? Probably not, tho it’s an overall well executed dish and probably one of the less common items from a typical cafe fare

iced lychee tea super chio looking iced lychee tea served in a perfume bottle. aesthetics on point.

dinner salmon baked with eggs was my fave dish! the salmon was fresh and i love the creamy sauce that it was baked in. the crab was abit of a let down. sauce was lukewarm and abit thick? the whole pasta was stuffed with crab meat but portion was not worth it imo. iced lychee tea was good, a must order for me

Earl Grey Lavender Tea (Cold)($8.80)💜 A classic earl grey tea infused with aromatic lavender. It offers a refreshing flavour profile, perfect for rejuvenating the senses.

Pretty good and affordable curry udon Curry was surprisingly light yet flavourful. Udon was al dente and cooked perfectly. Quite affordable at only $9, but portion is quite small. Ordered an iced mint tea ($3.50) and it was quite average.

Essence of Zen This spa's in house cafe is like a sanctuary, where people in their yukata rest after soaking in their spas. I especially love how peaceful and authentic it is, just like the cafes in Japan where it's quiet and serene. Plus, their food menu is broad across dons, udons, pretty japanese dessert and drinks - and pocket friendly too. I tried out their unique Salmon ochazuke (mostly seen like dashi broth stock poured out of a teapot to immerse the salmon and rice), and savoured every bite. Serving size is just right. (~$11)

Tonkatsu Curry Rice, Gyudon, Gyoza Freshly fried tonkatsu paired with Japanese curry with some potatoes and carrots. Nothing fanciful but a comforting food that will not go wrong. The gyudon rice was soaked with quite a bit of sauce and a little salty. Vegetables were also dressed with Japanese sesame sauce (which is also salty). Gyoza was in okonomiyaki style and sauce. An average dish, maybe you can just order the original Gyoza. A place with a variety of Japanese food to fill your tummy after soaking in the onsen, but otherwise would not travel down just to have their food.
