Sobasei is a simple Japanese Restaurant with a open dining area and 3-4 private rooms. It's suitable for families, as its ambience is more casual and not as cosy as one would prefer.
The menu is in Japanese with (accurate) English translations as this place is frequented by many Japanese expats in the area.
I was there just last night with my two companions. I had tempura Soba... I wanted to try other stuff but... daren't eat anything new due to a recent allergy. Anyway the Ebi tempura was made with really fresh prawns which is pretty rare. The warm soba was served just right.
We had Sashimi too which was very fresh.
My companions had sets which had miso soup, rice and noodles, main dish, two appetizers, one side dish. Each set about $20-$25.
We arrived at the place really late about 9 and last order was at 9.30pm. They still served us with smiles and took our orders patiently. Even when we added to our order at about 10 they didn't flinch. We had plenty of little freebies thrown in like the peas, some small side-dishes.This isn't because we're the last customers of the day as it also happened the two other times I was there.
Quality food in good-sized servings and great service. It deserves 5 stars but... the location and the ambience... made me take one away.
Quality food in good servings.

Another one to the list.
I know everyone's getting a little tired reading about donuts, but hey, the fire is still burning (thou not as strong) for all the donut factories in Singapore.
I tried Missy Donut once, but it was left with only one flavor, which I can't remember. So today I bought some home again to try, since there wasn't a queue when I was there. The selection of donuts aren't as many as some others, but I managed to pick 5 that hopefully will manage to trigger my tastebud.
One bite into the glazed donut ($1.10) and immediately I had to gulp down water to ease the sweetness. The layer of sugar onto was too heavy and the sugar content was too high. The dough was quite good but a little to the oily side.
My mum had the nutty choc ($1.20) one and she also said it was too sweet. But lucky for her, the nuts managed to balance the sweetness alittle for her.
Haven't tried to other flavors yet, but judging from the glazed one, which was supposed to be the basic donut, I'm not having a good feeling about the rest.

I wanted to try their desserts ever since I saw their poster out at Plaza Singapura. But I kept forgetting about this place when I'm there. But today, I remembered!
Went shopping with Mum at Plaza Singapura and I needed a break so I brought us to Aji Tei for desserts. The display of plastic dishes and yummy looking photos of their menu lured me in fast and furious.
As we weren't that hungry, we just ordered a dessert sampler, fried tofu and chicken skewer. The dessert came first, it looked different from the photo. There were a little too much starch (muah chee) in the 3 samplers. The green tea ice-cream on cornflakes saved this sampler. It was our first time having cornflakes with ice-cream. And we love the blend of the two.
The felt tofu felt very crispy when it was served. I could hear the crunch of the exterior when I moved it with the chopsticks. But the excitement of this dish faded the moment I tasted it. The tofu was tasteless and the sauce that came with it didn't quite help.
And then the chicken came. Didn't get to taste the original taste as my mum sprinkled chilli powder over it before I can take a photo. The chicken (with chili powder) was pretty alright. Not fantastic but better than the fried tofu.
For a die-hard Japanese resturants fan, I continue my search for better ones to add to my list. This one for sure, is not going to be listed in my favorite list.

"Ping..."
"Yes Pong?"
"I don't know how to fill up the form."
"Why Pong?"
"I don't know what to write for 'sign here'"
"Aiyoh Pong, why you so stupid?"
"You're a leo, so write leo loh!"
These two characters are my bf's and my favorite! Every night we would want to listen to them just to hear what they have to say. I miss their show. Hope they'll be doing a new one soon.

A special evening at Humble House.
It was their 5th birthday and together with couple of Yebbers, we joined in the celebration last night. On this special evening, the place was transformed to a stylish cocktail environment where tables were set-up around the restaurant with their chefs and service staff serving up some of their best modern Chinese cuisine.
Without a doubt, My Humble House is the place to go for their chic and modern dining atmosphere. Experience the art of dining at My Humble House. One thing that we agreed in unison was the beauty of the decor and uniqueness of cutlery used.
The menu served that night includes Lobster Popiah, Foie-grass, Scallops, Wagyu Beef, Peking Duck, Fried Chicken Rice and tantalizing selection of desserts. There were also wine tasting tables spread across the room with 18 different varieties of old & new world wines.
Personally, my favorite from that night were the Peking Duck, Wagyu Beef and the Fried Chicken Rice. Let me elaborate a little about the Fried Chicken Rice...
Served in miniature cups, this is not just any usual chicken rice nor how the name suggested. When one hears the dish Fried Chicken Rice, one will imagine having crunch chicken bits with steamed chicken rice. However, their version was the total opposite. With the chicken rice fried and topped with steamed shredded chicken. And before you eat, they add in the chicken soup. The combination was unique and out of the norm. Bite into the spoonful of rice with soup, and feel the crispiness of the chicken rice.
Overall the food from the night was average. This may be due to the buffet style dinner, mass production of food, and hence the quality of the food is not up to their usual standard. Perhaps it'll be much better to go dine and try the regular menu. But then, that'll also mean paying a lot more for that.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows Killiney Kopitiam. They have a few outlets around Singapore and most people would have been to one or the other.
Anyway this particular one in Siglap is always busy. They are never empty and I wonder why.
Coffee at Killiney's ain't different from the 70 cents one you find at your regular coffeeshop. not to mention it's more expensive here. In fact, it's more diluted if they're really busy. It's a little wierd since they supposedly make each cup as they are ordered.
They also have local foodfare like Mee siam and Nasi Lemak. Taste-wise is pretty average. Nothing special, thus it doesn't quite justify that $1 or $2 more....
I like the toast though, but again it's nothing extraordinary.
Nonetheless this small outlet is always bustling. Only try if you really have no other place to go for breakfast.

Ice Cream Chefs ... located along East Coast Road... How could I not visit this place?! It's a quaint little joint located near where Jackie's Bowl used to be.
Initially I'd thought the ice cream would be made on the spot ... haha the bimbo I am...
The ice cream is displayed like normal. There are many flavours to choose from including special ones like Chocolate and Hershey's, Nutella Delight, Mrs Smith, etc. The ice cream is made from real ingredients... not just flavouring. There's real durian meat in the Durian Decadence flavour.
And The really special thing they'd do for you is CUSTOMISE your ice-cream. You can add Loacker's wafers, Oreos... into your ice-cream!! You can even mix flavours...
One large pint will cost $9.50. Two pints was nice for 3 people who loved ice cream.
I think it's worth a try. The quality is pretty good and it's great fun! The ambience is very casual with music from the radio in the background. You can choose to sit inside or outside... total seating area for about 20 people .
Will definitely be back!

This is one site that all book lovers should join. Find books in BookJetty and it'll search through Amazon for details and listing of the books that matches your query. The most exciting thing is the integration of the search of the books in National Library too!! Yes! Our dear NLB! It'll tell you where you'll be able to find the book and whether or not its on loan and if you need the list of libraries with the book, you can even send a SMS to yourself so that you don't have to write it down on paper.
I've not been reading for long long long long time. (Apart from reading in Yebber and the other blogs I read.) But now with BookJetty, I might just pick up reading again! So loving the feature of BookJetty! Go try it to see it yourself!
Salute to the man behind this.

Cotton On is a reputable Australian brand that sells plenty of basics at low prices! It had a super long queue in its store on a sleepy Monday afternoon, so you can take my word for it.
Plenty of basics and a good number of printed Tees to go too. They have all styles : spaghetti tops, tanks, short sleeves, dresses, bermudas, shorts, etc. ANd don't be mistaken, they have stuff for guys too.
You know what I love most about them? Their tops are LONG. Absolutely perfect for low waist/ hipster jeans. And they have plenty of promotions like 2 for $20 tops, and even $10 dresses and $5 slippers!
And every style comes in a good number of colours to suit everyone.
I was telling myself to save money... but I went in bought myself two tops for $20, another for $12 and a dress for $20 !! And no regrets really. I love all of them. :)
I'll definitely be back and hope you'll be there too!

Tonkichi Restaurant is a Japanese Restie situated in Isetan Scotts itself. It's on Level 4 where you find the household items. :) It was a little tricky to locate at first.
The ambience
Pretty much normal. It was quiet this Monday afternoon. So I was really comfortable with that. The decor is the conventional Jap sorts, though it doesn't require you to kneel on the floor. Better for gatherings than romantic dates I'd say though. Good for business meetings where they have booths at the side for more privacy.
Food Ordered (All listed below were sets served with rice)
Oyster Fry
Prawn and Crab
Chicken Teriyaki Ju (mine)
Shoyu Rosu (pork)
Katsu Dory (Fried fish curry)
I had the Chicken Teriyaki Ju. Honestly I didn't find it fantastic. It was better than some places I've been to but not the best certainly. The rice was good, soft and sticky. Just the way it should be. The chicken was crisp and well covered in the teriyaki sauce. The sauce was pretty much like those you find in the supermarkets but it wasn't diluted (at least). It was going for $18 complete with the appetizer which I refused to try because the meat didn't look like chicken ( I only eat chicken and fish) and miso soup (of course.)
My other companions didn't have any problems with their food. I tried some of the pork tenderloin. It was ok, but had some fatty bits in it which is the reason why I try to stay away from pork. They all loved the oyster fry though. Could see that it looked really good though I couldn't have it today as my skin was acting up.
The service
The staff was quite alert, filling up our cups time and again. But then the restaurant was pretty empty so that would have been expected. The tea was barely warm so it turned cold really fast. But everyone was all smiles and they were very polite so that was good.
The damage
$111 for 5 people. I would say reasonable at about $22 per person.
