A warm and hearty drink that blends nutty black sesame, creamy almond, and subtle lotus seed flavors. It's a soothing choice that feels indulgent yet nourishing.

We had dinner tonight at @hanamaruken_sg Hanamaruken Ramen, a famous ramen shop from Osaka. It's one of our go-to ramen shops, especially for the Signature Happiness (Mega)! It has so much meat in it.

The star of the show, of course, was the Signature Happiness (Mega). This behemoth of a dish is piled high with tender, succulent pork ribs, making it a carnivore's dream come true. The rich, flavorful broth complements the meat perfectly, creating a truly satisfying meal.

While the Signature Happiness (Mega) was the highlight of the meal, We also tried a few other dishes. While most were nothing special, the Chahan Japanese Fried Rice was surprisingly delicious. It was packed with flavor and had the perfect texture.

I like the food here. And pricing is pretty decent for a place with live music. Went on a Sunday and the music was okay

(M SIze - $4.60) I choose small mini pearl for free topping so I didn't expected that their topping was so good. But it's quite chewy and crunchy texture. But their matcha latte was quite ok and not that bitter enough. It taste more milky texture. They have other option such matcha pure tea and matcha milk tea :") but then i personally matcha latte instead of matcha milk tea.

Got the Bua Lai - Sai Mai Bingsu without knowing what it was, and turns out it's bingsu ice topped generously with cotton candy and a mound of mochi-like balls. Visually quite interesting, but the candy floss was altogether just cloyingly sweet. Also, there was too little shaved ice. Very much regretted this and should've just gone with the usual bingsu. Though, the ambience was quiet and cold, many customers were doing work at the other tables.

($3.00) really got thick topping sauce for red bean but I felt that the waffles got soft type once it turned cold and not that crispy type. So I really like their red bean filling even though the waffles was really slightly lacking.

($5.00) I opt out for less sugar on matcha latte and thank u for customisation. I really appreciated how they are good in customisation for drink especially sugar level. But I wanted to try their drink for a while as its too much for hot and cold drink around fortune ctr. It taste quite nice tbh and got strong bitter taste (even reducing sugar level)

($6.90) I finally tried their ramen after trying their rice and bibimnoodle since my friend always order this most of time. But I find that their ramen was quite hard a bit and still got "q" texture. Chicken was quite tough texture tbh 😅

($7.50) I felt that their sauce was mild spicy but a sweet note aftertaste. I alr tried their different food since last year. The bibmabab got a lot of vegtables such as bean sprout, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, pork and seaweed. It come with side dish (kimchi & anchovies) and free flow miso soup with purchase of any mains.

($0.99) I saw barista use prepacked matcha latte to blend the matcha w oat milk. It got smooth texture as but it's quite weird taste for oat with matcha latte.

Pad See Ew or Thai stir fried soy sauce noodles is an extremely popular Thai street food dish. Whereas pad thai has a sweet and nutty flavour, pad see ew is meant to be salty and packed full of wok hei.

Thai God's rendition of this dish is less salty than our versions. However, it makes up for this with a strong and bold wokhei flavour. Interestingly, they seem to use slightly larger pieces of flat rice noodles or kway teow which maximises the surface area for charring.

The portion is on the small side but considering the price and location, I would consider as a great option for a quick and light lunch or dinner!

Mention Sunshine Plaza and most people would think of Victor's Kitchen and their liushabaos. For those in the know though, Sunshine Plaza is actually a little food enclave with a eclectic collection of eateries.

Thai Gold Food has been around for quite some time and attracts a dedicated clientale with good affordable Thai food in the city area.

Their green curry chicken was decent. The green curry was creamy and aromatic and it came with loads of green. I did wish though that they used more substantial chunks of chicken rather than the scrappy bits.
