Food Review ✿ Chiso Zanmai Buffet ✿ Central

Kyahooo~~~ 

I actually went to eat at Chiso Zanmai yesterday ~!!

Ate with a group of my close friends who loves Jap food too xD 

 Japanese Buffet ❤ !! 

We made a reservation for dinner and yes, its pretty pricey for a student like me TAT ... 

lucky got "subsidised" ^^"" anyway , when we entered , we paid first , then we were shown our seats 

and were presented this :

Then , we start walking around, "hunting" for food wahahaha !! xD

*what cheapo students do  when they go for buffets*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 1 

I came back with these :

The small bowl thingie in the picture below is avocado with salmon :(( somehow I dont really like it :( . When I read the forums, I heard a lot of complaints about the sushi, so I made a point to try it out, and its actually pretty nice :(( Not as bad as the people described in the forum ..

The chicken dishes meanwhile is not tender enough for me though (karaage etc) , but Ee-chan think its the right "hardness"/"tenderness" . But I have to admit I dont like food that are hard to chew :(( 

so my comment here may indeed be subjective ^^

The osaka-style noodle is worth the carbo space in this buffet ~~ I love it!!

Tempura is nice ~!!! (what can go wrong with tempura ? xD) 

All polished in 20-30 minutes , 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2

we tried the very famous Matcha Tofu >3<;;; 

It IS REALLY NICE !!! 

The texture is a cross between tofu and custard !!! Its like, soft and firm, like tofu , but still a bit sticky and gooey at the same time >,< and it screams "Matchaaaaaa!" xD

Loves this !!!

I still have space , so more ebi and shishamo tempura !! Shishamo is ❤  !!!

They have baby tako , this one fish I forgot the name (the white one >,<) and salmon sashimi ~ On the middle of the plate is chilled tofu which is surprisingly nice ( (ﾐ´ω`ﾐ))

Sashimi~~~~~ (≧∇≦)/

Quite fresh and nice , 

cutting is weird though . The cutting seems to be vertical rather than the supposed 'slanted' way :(( and the thickness is variable sometimes. So I picked up sashimi slices that are more thinly sliced cause I dont like eating chunks of sashimi that are too thick ^^""

Takoyaki comes in a cute little boat xD

Taste pretty nice :D not Gindaco level but still nice ;D

One of the dishes I regretted taking, because it doesnt taste nice to me :((

But Ee-chan loves this ~~ D:

its a pumpkin salad OxO 

I usually loves pumpkin but not sure why this doesnt taste nice to me....

to each his own in this case heheheee~~

Soba is sadly soggy and overcooked

The sauce is too thin :( 

Even Daiso one taste nicer :( 

Chawan Mushi doesnt looks very nice with bubbly holey surface

BUT taste good !! (⌒▽⌒)☆

They have Ramen too , 

but I doubt this will be worth the carbo :P 

so I skipped it 

Then Dessert !!! 

This is my friend's plate , because I was pretty full resultant from not eating buffet for too long TAT  now when the need arise, cant eat a lot anymore TAT

Thanks for letting me cope the picture Ibel~ hahahaa ^^"""

He has good arranging skill ;D arrange until so nice ;D

some jelly thingie in cups :3 ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I was pretty full by that time , but then I saw 

Maraschino cherries !!!! xD 

So I HAVE to have some !! xD

Overall its a quite "filling" experience (wuahahaha lame pun intended ) 

my OOTD for the day ~~ pretty tired by then because I have sinusitis AGAIN !! TAT;;;

I'm still quite fuuuuul of sashimi and tempura for now Wahahaha !!! 

So Ciao~~~ Till later 

*goes to lalaland*

Terumii~~

Ramen - Ramen Daikokuya Dining ❤ Robertson Quay

Went to Ramen Daikokuya to eat Ramen

because they have this promotion *below* 

Apparently its some Top Ramen chef's creation and Ee-chan was bragging about how he ate this master's Ramen when he was in Japan before and he had to queue for soo long just to get in !

Listening to his story about the ramen while eating my sad sad dinner was like this :

So we decided to go for it during the weekend, 

and , 

without further ado :

here you are !!

Ramen Daikokuya

Interior's  cosy and nice !!  :3 

 

Ultraman and Godzilla wahahahahaha!!! xD

While waiting for ramen to arrive , snap tissue's picture wahahaha xD

Soooo.... 

THIS below, is the ramen we were served !!!

So lets just jump into this post's "meat" - the ramen's review ;D

The soup 

Clear and mild , with a pretty strong prawn flavour :3

I've never eaten a prawn based ramen soup before O.o so this is a pretty pleasant surprise since I love prawn !! (♥ó㉨ò)ﾉ♡ If you're not a fan of prawn (like Ee-chan :P ) the soup may be too overpowering tho (／(ｴ)＼)

Bamboo shoots

Their bamboo shoots are pretty nice too :D 

The usual nice ramen place's normal bamboo shoot ((ﾐ´ω`ﾐ))

Chicken 

They gave us 2 toppings : chicken fillet and cha shu *below* 

The chicken is tender and nice , but I still prefer my cha shu xD 

〜(￣▽￣〜)

Noodle 

I have no qualms about this xD the chewy texture is just nice 

( although I hope they gave me more :P , I eat a lot OTL...)

Ee-chan  and I ordered 2 more extra dishes !!! 

Agedashi Tofu 

which we finished till the last piece before I realized that I hasnt taken any picture of them TAT .. 
ヾ(-_- )ゞ

and Mentaiko Gyoza :D 

Love the gyoza, not enough mentaiko (according to my own tastes ^^) , and the first time round, they actually sent us a charred gyoza. Good that the manager is a sensible person. When we pointed it out and requested to change 3 out of the 6  charred gyoza on our plate (the 3 are charred too but not so bad so we're "ok" with it) , he offered to change the whole plate !! :3 !!

*clapclapclap*

(〃⌒▽⌒)八(〃⌒▽⌒〃)八(⌒▽⌒〃)

Overall, the place has a very nice vibe to it and the staff are very attentive and friendly . However, taste-wise, I still prefer Gantetsu (for now , I still have a "crush" on the ramen and the ramen master wahahahaha xD) - cha shu wise, no store so far can defeat Marutama's side dish cha shu ;;;TnT;;;  

The bill came up to about $33 for us 

[2 ramen , gyoza, and agedashi tofu]

because we used groupon for the ramen :3

Also,
The location is not easy to find :((

we actually walked around fr 20+ minutes before finally ending up in the correct location OTL... So people, if you're planning to eat here, dont be shy to ask the other shops' staff along Robertson Quay about the position of this shop, else, you may find it a bit difficult to find :3
