POPPY POPS

Most of us who live in the West should have already visited JEM, but how many of us are actually familiar with JEM inside and out? No one mentioned a hidden eatery located above Cookhouse by Koufu. If you think the fifth storey is the highest level in JEM, think again.

Poppy Pops actually sits on the sixth floor and is only accessible through the food court or the breezy rooftop located at the top of the shopping mall. If you are seeking a place with tranquil ambiance, sunlight and pleasant bites whenever you feel peckish, take a seat and grab a Poppy Classic along with the café’s Maple Butter Waffle.

RYOSHI SUSHI IKEIKEMARUK

One of the most underrated Japanese restaurants in Singapore is Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru. Its name is quite a mouthful, but we’d totally master the pronunciation because it is one that we often recommend to our friends and fans. Nothing too fanciful about this place—just good ol’ reliable options that we always return to when we crave for sushi and sashimi.

TONKATSU BY MA MAISON

Tonkatsu by Ma Maison is our favourite tonkatsu restaurant in Singapore, and boy were we glad that it has opened a second outlet at Westgate. Gone are the days when we had to go all the way to town just to satisfy our tonkatsu cravings.

From the much-lauded Rosu Katsu (S$18.80) and Hire Katsu (S$19.80), to the Mameton Set (S$23.80) which comes with an assortment of your favourite tonkatsu and deep-fried ebi, every dish at Tonkatsu by Ma Maison is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the Cheese Mille-feuille Katsu Set (S$24.80). Deep-fried to a glorious golden brown, this rendition of many thin layers of pork filled with oozy cheese is totally what dreams are made of.

“ There is something peculiar about Ajisen Ramen and it’s all in the soup. Their Ramen’s Tonkotsu soup can help to prevent aging!

The Japanese Society of Nutrition & Food Science announced in a general meeting, “The intake of collagen contained in the bones and cartilage, etc prevents aging.” Collagen is a protein, mainly found in the skin, tendon, bone, cartilage and other connective tissues. This protein is the essence of life because it easily makes up one third of the 60 trillion body cells. And our Tonkotsu soup has lots of collagen!

What is health without taste? A feature of Kumamoto Ramen is Senmiyu; a rich brown sauce that accompanies the fair Tonkotsu soup. Our unique culinary methods ensure that all the flavors are sealed into the sauce. In fact, Ajisen guarantee that your taste-buds will be bowled over by their Tonkotsu/Senmiyu combination! “

Went to meet my mom for dinner at IMM after Arnold’s celebration, at first wanted to go Secret Recipe for dinner, cos i want to eat their desserts, but my mom wanted to eat ramen, to savour that time she went to Japan and had ramen. Although there was a few Japanese restaurants around, we settled on Ajisen since my mom wanted ramen. The restaurant was packed fully, but there was still space for two-seaters. We took a while to decide on the ramen, and made our orders, suprisingly the ramen came quite fast despite many patrons in the restaurant, mayb its very easy to cook ramen : )

Ramen cost 10 bucks each, but you have the raman set, which consist of a ramen, side dish, and a drink for $13.80. We chose the crayfish ramen (voted most popular), and the soft ribs ramen

Crayfish Ramen

The crayfish ramen was quite special, the crayfish came with a sweet-spicy sauce. Ramen had egg, crayfish of cos, and mushroom. The ramen soup was quite delicious, but i found it too salty, had to drink tons of water after finishing the ramen.

Soft ribs Ramen

Actually every ramen is the same except for the main ingredient that comes with it, for this one is soft pork ribs, the ribs was managed rather well-balance, very chewy. My mom commented that the ramen in Japan was nicer, the noodle was not so thick, much thinner there : ) 

Chicken cutlet that comes with the ramen set

The sauce for the chicken was nice, but the chicken was a tad too small, o well after all this is the compliment set.

Fried prawn which also come with the ramen set

Fried prawn in Japanese restaurants was always nice, no complains

Simple dinner at Ajisen total bill was $32.49, not very expensive i guess, for the set came with a ramen, side dish and drink. But the quality of the side dishes can be improve i guess, they are not really worth it for the extra $3.80? But then again $3.80 for a side dish and drink, you can’t really complain can you?
