Koh Grill & Sushi Bar @ Wisma Atria

I haven't found out about a craving-worthy Japanese restaurant in a while. Recently I've been seeing this restaurant appear in quite a few blogs and receiving good reviews so I thought, I must try this out! 

The lunch queue on a Sunday afternoon at late 1-ish pm was waning off (doesn't mean it's no good!). Located on the food court floor, I thought the prices would be near food court prices as well. Prices are actually mid-range and well worth every cent of it.

 

Aspara Buta Yaki ($10)
 Asparagus wrapped in grilled pork slices - No fatty bacon for me, this is real stuff!


Mini Chasoba ($4) (Not mini at all and I love the texture), Garlic Fried Rice ($5) (decent; can skip the next time!) and Gindara Yaki Special ($16) - grilled cod fish topped with cheese and mentai, so smooth it slips off your tongue down your throat


SHIOK!!! Maki ($16.80) - 8 pieces; that's really the name of the dish, and it was definitely SHIOK. Oh so good, aburi salmon maki wrapped with unagi, topped with a layer of cheese and mayonnaise sauce and mentai, sprinkled with fish roe to perfect the dish. At first glance $16.80 is pretty pricey for maki but trust me, it's definitely worth it.

Lots Gourmet Stop @ Upper Changi Road North

Came here 2 months back but out of the numerous cafes I've been to so far, I must say this is one of the best - though the location is not so ideal. Tucked away in a residential estate at the far east (opp Changi Prison), this place is rather inaccessible. Nevertheless, the food (and company) was very enjoyable and I must find my way back here again soon! Thanks to Y's good recommendation :)

Some snapshots of the place


No-frills, un-airconditioned, simply-decorated place 

 Note the old-school glasses. Coffee (I ordered mocha as usual) was good. Oh the Vespa was a gift I got from Austria for Y as a sign of appreciation for borrowing her (sister's) scarf for, erm, 3 years hahahaha oops. 

 And the food even better! They had a good variety of brunch items like Eggs Benny, Big Breakfast (which were both really good), and pasta (zomg!)
