Osaka Ohsho @ Raffles City 大阪王将

Last last Saturday was really eventful. I had a free facial trial with Body Contours at Hill Street at 1pm but I forgot to bring my identifications. They refused to give me a trial although I had my credit cards with me :( Anyway, was happy to be at the Hill Street again - it has changed a lot over time. I spot a cafe SOHO which I am looking forward to visiting soon :)

I decided to utilise my massage package at My Happy Feet near Bras Basah. Lucky for me, there was a slot available at 2.30pm. Since there was time, I decided to window shop at Raffles City. And viola! I spotted the Browhaus mobile shop where I finally had my long overdue brow threading at a promotional price of $8 - great bargain :)

Was hungry after the massage as I had an early lunch. Did not have the opportunity to try the fried rolls when I was Nam Nam Noodles Bar at Raffles City a few weeks back, so I decided to go for it (and the nice ice coffee again). But it was closed for dinner preparations till 5pm!

So I decided to try the gyoza at Osaka Ohsho a few restaurants away. Read good reviews about it and it did not disappoint. For the price I paid (about $6 for half a dozen of gyoza and ice tea), it was great!




Took a while to serve the gyoza - piping hot and delicious! :)

 

And juicy!



Tried it with vinegar and chili oil which elevated the tastiness of the gyoza...

Last one left. Should have ordered a dozen - so yummy I want more! :)

Go try, everyone! There are many other Japanese-Chinese dishes that look nice on the menu - will check them out soon :)

My top post is about Tomoya, another Japanese restaurant. Click here if you want to find out more about the udon they serve...



Out Of The Pan @ Raffles City

A belated birthday celebration with SP at Out of the Pan @ Raffles City.  Known for its crepe, the restaurant has been around for many years (or so I recall).

More wholesome than awesome, I say :) Reminds me of Marche which I have not been for a while too (about a year?) - can get cheaper crepe there. LOL But there was a 1-for-1 offer for DBS card holder, so it was ok :P


There was a short queue when I reached at about 7.30pm. Was supposed to meet at 7pm but I was stuck at work :(




Kim Chi + pork roll - chosen by the birthday girl. Quite interesting fusion food :)



Prawn cake.

My choice of seafood roll - wanted something healthy :P



Indoor alfresco, I thought. Nice place to watch and be watched :P

Happy Birthday, SP! I hope you had one as wholesome as the crepe at Out Of The Pan! :)

 

Paris Baguette@Wisma Atrium

Found more pictures on Korean stuff in my smartphone! See my earlier post here! Took them when I was queuing to takeaway a ham/egg roll from Paris Baguette, a café from Korea. I was on my GSS spree and decided to have a FIKA but the café was so packed and people did not look like they were going to leave soon...

 

It's funny how I never managed to take a proper picture of the food I have had at Paris Baguette - the last time my smartphone ran out of battery so no pictures taken. This time, I did not take a picture of the ham/egg roll because it was a take-away. But it was very yummy! :) I am beginning to think that the savouries are better than the sweets, so go try and tell me if you agree!

When I was in Gangnam, Korea last year, I passed by Paris Baguette so many times but I hardly gave it much thought. Just popped in to grab a shake, I recall. Prices are much lower there! :( I'm so going to café big time the next time I visit Korea. LOL.
