Homemade

I love fresh egg pasta but this dish was a little disappointing. Parts of the pasta came in clumps and was not 'al dente' enough. But the taste was quite yummy, the italian sausage chunks were flavourful, and the homemade tomato marinara sauce was rich (although a tad oily). Price excludes GST and service charges so $12.80 is quite afforable for a meal.

In need of happy food after work on a Saturday, so late late lunch was a bagelwich (HAHAH YES BAGELS AGAIN 😅😛!) from @twomenbagelhouse! Had the AUBERGINE (all vegetarian with miso aubergine, sundried tomatoes, spinach, and lemon scented herb vinaigrette on a seeded bagel) and it was so yummy!

This was a really good bowl of chirashi don, with huge chunks of fresh salmon, chutoro and swordfish. $9 base (includes salmon, tamago and cucumber), chutoro ($6), swordfish ($3) and unagi ($2.50).

The Poke bowls had a generous helping of other toppings (and DIY topping such as kimchi and ginger), though I felt that the single scoop of poke was quite a miserable portion. Service was not the best when we visited too.

A little sad that this was going to be the last week that Tenryu will be around, before they officially close for good. So I satisfied my japanese cravings by having the tori katsu bowl and mentai tamagoyaki delivered and it was still so so satisfying good.

Bagels hold a special place in my heart. I kinda had bagel sandwiches (homemade) ALMOST everyday during my 3-months clerkship back in the USA. This was quite yummy, I love the generous combination of the rosemary bagel, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce. Did I mention that the bagel was surprisingly soft (not tough and chewy like many others!) as well? The bagel sandwich was quite huge, that I could only stomach half of it for lunch! I'll definitely be back for more.

The red miso sauce was a tad salty and the omurice was done alright (but nothing fantastic to scream about!). Had to share the pork cutlets with the dining partners as the nagoya-style red miso sauce came with the pork katsu (they didn't have the option to go without!).

Here's my (one huge beautiful brown) crisp and fluffy belgian waffle weekend kitchen experiment! Whipped egg white to soft peaks and substituted the buttermilk for that tub of @tamarvalleydairy blueberry and strawberry greek-style yoghurt that's lying in the refrigerator. Honestly, I can't wait to go back to my 'kitchen experiments' after I'm done with school.
