Bugis Junction Food Trail 2013: Fish & Co

0 comments
During my uni days, Fish & Co. used to be the go-to-restaurant whenever we had occasion to celebrate. It's been quite a while, and boy, the menu has undergone some major revamp! (pardon if I sound suaku, but its been many years since I last visited Fish & Co.)

glossy magazine? no, it's da menu


Ok, stop the babbling and let's bring the food out! Starters first.

Clams with Curry Butter (@$11.95++)
(Blue) Mussels with Spicy Marinara Sauce (@$11.95++)
warm bread

Both the clams and mussels were served with warm bread. For light eaters like me, this alone will be enough to fill me up.

Soft Shell Crab Salad (@$11.95++)

Next, for first main course, we sampled a variation of Fish & Chips, the Bombay Fish & Chips. It's like a curried batter with dory fish. Just mild curried flavour. The fish was moist and soft.

Bombay Fish & Chips (@$16.95++)

For people who needs their carbs, here's an aglio olio. Quite liked the Shrimp & Clam Aglio Olio. Tasty and spicy. Probably a good idea to have some iced-cold water on standby. The prawns were firm and cooked just right. However, the amount of oil in this dish seemed a tad too liberal!

If you must have rice, then how about a Black Pepper Chicken Baked Rice? It's served piping hot, so do be careful with the plates. Rice was fragrant, tasty and very peppery. *sips that iced water*

Did I hear someone clamour for more seafood? Here you go:

Grilled Chicken Peri Peri with Scallops (@$18.95++)
Seafood Galore (king prawns, grilled white fish, curry butter clams, chips/rice @$22.95++)

Didn't get to taste any of the scallops as it was snapped up before I could do anything...Hahaa! The peri-peri sauce was nice, but the chicken was under-seasoned hence the flavour depended pretty much on the sauce. The Seafood Galore contained two good sized King Prawns. Impressive-looking.

By the time this post reaches you, Fish & Co. would've launched its new item, the Grilled Fish with Ebiko. Basically grilled white fish slathered generously with ebiko, served with coleslaw and chips. Soft fish, with tiny fish eggs that pops in your mouth? Sounds good. Can't show you the picture as it was already half-devoured by the time I got back to the table.

If you're planning to dine here, do check-out the promotions!

Bugis Junction Food Trail 2013: nydc

0 comments
nydc (or New York Dessert Cafe), was where my friends made me feed mudpie to a stranger, a random guy. That was for a birthday dare. Hahaa, those memories...

Fast forward to April 2013, nydc was our sixth stop of the Bugis Junction Food Trail.  Located at Level 2, we were ushered into the insides of the cafe which was rather cosy.

Let's start off with some cakes.

Goldmine cheesecake (full size @$68)
Goldmine Cheesecake (@$7.20 per slice)
Boo Boo (@$6.80 per slice / $62 whole)

The Goldmine Cheesecake (New York cheesecake) was compact and dense and loved the choco fudge ontop, while the Boo Boo (chocolate cake) was airy with lots of cream. Good thing all the cakes were not overly sweet. Very nice with a cup of coffee.

Next up, how about having a ménage à trois? What's this proposition! Hahaha, relax. Have a 3-some, a strawberry mudpie where 3 layers of choco chip cookie dough are sandwiched between strawberry, strawberry cheesecake icecream and graham crackers.

3-some (@$11.80 per slice)

Or, may the sweets be with you via the Jedi Mudster, a double choc chip macadamia nut ice-cream on oreo base with homemade cookie chunks, topped with choc fudge and whiped cream.

Jedi Mudster (@$11.80 per slice)

All mudpies should be savoured last! Loved the cold ice, and the sweet sensations that attacks all at once. The bliss.

Bugis Junction Food Trail 2013: Kazokutei

0 comments
Kazokutei, originated from Osaka, and is well known for its udon. Now, there is no need for us to fly all the way there as we can sample Kazokutei's handmade noodles, right here in Singapore via any of its three outlets; at Bugis Junction, Plaza Singapura and Bishan Junction 8.

menu
from top: zaru soba, sushi and udon (tasting portions only)
cute sushi

Both the soba and udon, were served chilled.

The soba was refreshing and it slides up easily when slurped. Udon was chewier but in a good way. There's just something about the udon that makes you want to eat more.

Here are pictures (showing actual portion) of two items from its menu, courtesy of Kazokutei:

Mix Zaru and Mix Tempura set (@$12.90++)
