Kado Man Restaurant @ Circular Road

Pineapple first introduced this restaurant last year on my birthday, and nearing my birthday this year I suddenly had a craving for the tan-tan men. 

It's a small restaurant located along Circular Road right smack in the middle of the CBD and Boat Quay Conservation Area, behind the row of pubs and bar-restaurants. It's frequented by Japanese businessmen and the waitress speaks Japanese as well. She was friendly  when we first entered but got a bit pushy when recommending the dishes to us though.

I've only been here twice, but the rich and spicy soup with fragrance of sesame of the tan-tan men ($15) will make you go back for more.

Cha-shu ramen ($14) pales in comparison. Better off ordering this at other ramen places. I heard the Cold Ramen is one of the must-orders as well, but it wasn't available when we were there.

 

How much was spent per pax? ~$25 per pax
 Would I go back? Definitely for the tan-tan men and the cold ramen if I ever get my hands on them ;)

Address: 83 Circular Road

Lunch: 11.30am – 2.30pm

Delicious @ Scotts Square

Happy 2012 everyone! A new year of food hunting, a new year of good food waiting to be discovered, and relished, with hits and misses along the way, of course. Anyway. I read about this newly opened restaurant at the spanking new mall along Scotts Road and decided to try it out. 

A simply-decored place with a blue and white theme that's easy on the eyes, and bird cages! There's something about bird cages that make them...aesthetically pleasing, in a strange way.



They have pastas, sandwiches, burgers, quite a decent range of desserts and Asian-Western fusion choices (Duck Confit Red Curry? Rendang Tok Beef Short Ribs?) on their menu. 

We weren't feeling adventurous that day and just wanted some comfort food in the form of carbo so we settled on pasta.


Y's Spicy Crabmeat Linguine ($15) - with real crab meat, not the frozen kind. She said it was not bad, though it was not spicy at all.

Spicy Seafood Linguine ($15) - With mussels, prawns and calamari, comes with a zest of lemon. There's something about the tomatoes and spices used that makes this pasta taste like how pastas should taste like.





Blackberry Apple Crumble with Vanilla Crumble ($6) - We couldn't resist desserts. This came really reasonable at just $6.





The food isn't fantastic but it's a nice place to hang out if you want to escape the crowds along Orchard Road. Reservations enabled.
