Review: Wacha

Wacha LogoHidden up in old Ann Siang Road (near the Maxwell Food Centre) is Wacha, a tea salon and Japanese crockery store.

As you enter, you are greeted with shelves of delicate Japanese plates and elegant cups. Towards the centre of the store is a bar for four, and a romantic room at the back where you can dine privately in candlelight. There is also a second room below for another more private setting.

Wacha’s selection is rather small but features a special dinner menu, which is a delight on its own if not rather expensive. Everything is served with gorgeous lacquerware and unique Japanese crockery.

Review: Kuishin Bo

Kuishin Bo 1Mention buffet, and discussions would range from cheap steamboat at Marina South to top-notch expensive at The Line, Shangri-La. Right smack in the middle and considered a good place for important celebrations is Kuishin Bo, a Japanese buffet restaurant.

Japanese food galore at Kuishin Bo – from teriyaki to teppanyaki, lobsters to sushi, Kuishin Bo has enough to leave you spoilt for choices.

Review: Pepper Lunch

Pepper Lunch 1Much has been said about Pepper Lunch since its debut at the basement of Takashimaya Shopping Centre in July 2005. Many have tried this fast food fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine on hotplates, only to go back for seconds, and thirds.

And even now, friends never fail to drag this reviewer back almost once every week. What makes this Japanese fast food restaurant so appealing?

Review: Tampopo Cheese Ramen

Tampopo Cheese RamenRamen is well, basically your hand-made noodles. In Japanese culture, it’s considered Chinese food, together with fried rice and mapo tofu. They aren’t wrong, since ramen does have Chinese origins after all.

In conjunction with Meidi-ya’s Hokkaido fair, Tampopo at Liang Court whips up a sinful serving of cheese ramen. Pork bone soup, coupled with ricotta cheese, strips of beef, Chinese wolfberries (gouqizi), basil leaves, lettuce and onions.
