Haven't been to this branch ever since it opened. We've only patronized its branch at JB City Sq. First impression, the place is clean and bright. 2nd, the serving crew doesn't have much expressions. 3rd, the environment is great for a lazy afternoon outing with a few friends.
Ordered: Lime/Lemon Ginger fizzy drink, chocolate drink, mixed grill set, Spaghetti with Portuguese cheese sauce and mini chicken ham sausage. Total: $58
Food tasted better than the JB branch and in greater portion. However, the color of the dishes doesn't look that great. I've tried the beef portion of the mixed grill and its a tad too salty. We love the chicken sausage dish and the lime/lemon ginger drink.
Leonardsaid: Hmm..looked good! I know where it is... walked past the JB City Square many times and also never tried it...just saw "ah Wang' standing poster! :) 19 Apr 2008 at 9:14 pm

Bought Threadless T-shirts! I normally don't wear T-shirts as I think its uncomfortable. But since there was a sale at Threadless and I found a real cute design for the print~ I decided to get 2 T-shirts. 1 for me and another for my husband.
Process of the purchase is quite fast and smooth. the only glitch was, they are unable to accept other payment forms cept credit cards. Will be easier if they accept paypal (they deemed paypal as not secure enough). Also, 1 week after the confirmation of the order, I was unable to check the status of the order even if I keyed in the order number. Had to give my credit card details to find the order status.
Items came in 3 weeks firmly packed via courier I forgot it was UPS or what. Also came with some real cute stickers as shown in the pictures.
First thing we did when we received the clothes, we wash the clothes by first submerging it in a pail of water. As expected, the color ran. That is understandable due to the color of the T-shirts.
Wore it today and walked 10 mins to the MRT station. Feels cooler to wear it compared to other T-shirts. Comfy and cooling material and doesn't make my sensitive skin itch. Even my husband who doesn't like round neck Tees finds it comfortable and great to wear.
My friends and I simply loved to try out food and desserts. For me, desserts stands for most of it. So when I saw this link for ePosh, I just click on it out of curiosity. My first impression, the website is difficult to navigate in with its black background and brightly colored words and the extremely small words.
Nevertheless, what is a website if it serves good desserts. So we went especially from the West to Dhoby Ghaut just to get a taste of the desserts. To our dismay, the shop is just a shop front. There were no seats but just a counter sort of like Famous Amos or bubble tea. There were not much cookies left, just maybe one or two cakes at the counter and of course, brownies.
The serve crew (polite and good service quality) at the counter gave us some brownie base to try. To me, its too sweet though the texture sure is better than a lot of other brownies I've eaten. Chewy and not dry. They currently have 10 flavors out of which, we bought Jelly Peanut butter, White Choc, Triple Choc, Mashmellows, Choc butter. They also have chilli choc which I found rather special but I didn't try as I don't eat chilli.
On first taste, their brownies are definitely unique and tasted above average. But as we try on, we felt thats all there is. There is no "oopmh" of tasting a great dessert and as all the brownie bases are the same, the only difference is its blend with the toppings.
If you really want me to say, I'll recommend white choc and Mashmellow (toasted). But frankly, it would be better if there are seats in the shops for patrons to sit in, not just 2 chairs in front of the shop. Desserts especially brownies, cakes and cookies taste best eaten fresh no matter whether they can be left outside for 3 days without refrigeration.
Price is still ok, going at $3 per piece of brownie. Currently they have a promotion of 5 pieces at $13. Great as a gift as it comes in the beautiful and posh box and paper bag in the pictures.
My first time in Ajisen. Surprised by how fast our food was served as it was full house with a queue outside. We order the fried pork ramen, Volcano Ramen and Teriyaki Chicken Don.
Soup base was tasty and just right without the starchiness or oiliness found in other Ramen. However, the fried pork was too salty hence you got to eat it with the Ramen to blend the taste. Perhaps it was made so that you have to eat it that way. Serving was big and definitely value for the money.
I only tried 1 piece of chicken for the Teriyaki Chicken Don. The chicken was tender and chewy though like the pork, salty. I did not try the Volcano Ramen but I thought it looks very spicy to me.
Menu for dessert was very extensive and we were spoilt for choice regarding which to order. I ordered the Strawberry Parfett. Tried some of the Mango-don't-know-whats-the-name (looks like mango ice). Desserts looks nice but tasted average. Strawberry Parfett was great and recommended though the serving was too big and will be perfect for 2 persons. Mango was sour.. way too sour to eat alone. You will have to eat with the ice shavings to reduce the sour-ness.
But I would say I won't want to patron Ajisen frequently as the food tend to the salty side and there wasn't anything special about the desserts either. Everything was just average. But it will be a good place for small group outing as they don't seem to have space for big groups.
Edited on : 1/05/08 Went back there the 2nd time last week and order some other side dishes like Prawn Mayo, Fried chicken, Pork and Cabbage Omelette, Beef with Asparagus, Chasu and some other dishes. We were quite disappointed as not only the portion was small for most of the side dishes (those in a set) the taste was below average except for the prawn mayo and the Omelette.
Mango for the dessert this time, was too "old" totally spoiling the dessert. Ice cream looks like its been out in the air for too long and melting.
The service crew who served us asked us to speak chinese cause she did not understand English while the other service crew ask us to explain what is 辣椒in English.
Went to this place a couple of times and hadn't got much of an impression there. The first time I went was in the afternoon, where guests were few and we shared the restaurant with only 2 or 3 other guests. To me, the staffs there were quite slow in serving and seems to act overly friendly but the manager seems to be experienced and good.
So far, we loved baked rice, mixed grill, Brandied cherry dessert (my favorite) and baked fish. And disliked the cheese platter which consisted of only some pieces of biscuits, some English Old Cheese which we don't know how to appreciate. But I must mention the celery were fresh though. Seems like main dishes are well done but side dishes needs more improvement.
Nicely decorated with romantic English country style as the main theme. There will be a live singer there to entertain after 7pm and I must say i think he sings very well. A very nice place to have a cosy outing or a light date. But I do dislike seeing the cooks keep coming outside of the kitchen to "look" around.
