Jologs - Lucky Plaza , Orchard Road


I like going to Lucky plaza because you can find good foreign food like the famous Ayam Penyet Ria and there are tons of Filipino restaurants here as well
According to my Filipino friends, jolog means something like weird or unorthodox, unordinary..
Rice Meals here ranges from 5 dollars and above. But it comes with bottomless drink like Iced Tea and powdered orange drink. So come to think of it, it is worth it, u eat in a airconditioned area with limitless drinks.
Ordered a Sisig rice- which was said to be chopped pork cheeks with liver and garlic and onions. Served with garlic rice and fried egg. So this is where all the pork cheeks are going to?? Hahaha
I like how it taste. I like the play of textures of the fat, the skin ,the meat It was seasoned very well and the garlic fried rice just complimented it.

Shimbashi Soba - Paragon

I just love noodles, may it be Chinese la mian, to Japanese ramen, to Italian pastas, to Filipino pancit etc etc. I love slurping long strands of noodles or twirling it around my fork.
Shimbashi Soba is a relatively newcomer here in Singapore Restaurant Business. Singapore is more crazy over Ramen and opening a soba place does seem like a right idea to have us exposed to another type of Japanese Noodles.
Ordered the Chicken teriyaki don with Soba Set- The Chicken Teriyaki was quite nice. Tender Plump chicken cutlets fried perfect coated with a delicious teriyaki sauce that is just perfectly sweet and salty. The soba however was not as “QQ” as I want it to be, maybe because I ate the chicken rice first? I will try ordering the dry soba next time and see how it fares.
THis side salad was just okay.
