Tried out a new flavour of noodles from koka – purple wheat noodles. Really healthy (but a little boring. Great food when sick or when u feel sinful). Absolutely no msg and instead of being fried like traditional noodles, it’s baked dry. Maybe because I’ve been deprived of proper human food the past one month, these mildly flavoured noodles tasted really good. Can bake it with cheese, throw in pork chop if you like. For big eaters, you need at least 2 packets. The packaging looks good too. Think it’s about $3 (cuz mom paid for it).
Went to the popular Japanese restaurant Ootoya at orchard central for dinner. Really quite popular as it takes 30 mins to get a table and the Q gets pretty long after 8pm (why? People eat so late?). There’re also quite a lot of Japanese customers. It took an 30 mins for them to recook a pot of rice that went bad, so we practically waited from 7.30pm before we got to eat at 8.30pm. The waiters were imported from the Philippines I guessed. They served with a smile but what we asked for never seemed to arrive – be it tea, food, not during the first attempt. They just went “ok, ma’am” then walked away. No follow-up.
Food is good (way better than Ma Maison). Can only comment on the pork cutlet with miso sauce (quite unique!) cuz that was about the only few things I could eat. The pickles you see blow went to my friend. Had only a few slices of mushroom to avoid the supposedly poisonous spores.
The chilli powder was really good. Spicy!
And why was I in orchard? For the great singapore sale of course! Had wanted to buy something quite badly. But what sale? A pathetic 10-20% off. In the US, sales mean 50-70%. All I bought were sunblock and hair conditioner, and from Toa Payoh. How fulfilling…
And glad to say that chickens n eggs are now back on my plate!
