Bijin Men @ Tsukada Nojo, Plaza Singapura | Dulcet & Studio @ Liang Court, Clarke Quay

On my first visit to Tsukada Nojo for the Bijin Nabe, its Bijin Men had already made its way onto my To-Try List! It is only available during lunchtime, and I didn’t have to wait for long before I would get the chance to try it!

It offers 4 soup bases to choose from and I picked the spicy one. From what I understand, the soup base is like the collagen soup base we have for Bijin Nabe, just that they vary the flavour accordingly.

Also tried the main and desserts at Dulcet & Studio for the day as well!

Scoop Cake

Matcha Chiffon Cake

Personally felt that the desserts are better than the main, though it is still a pity that the cakes weren’t particularly impressive or memorable for me as well

Ju Shin Jung & Jung Go Bing, Guillemard Road {Mountbatten}

We didn’t exactly plan to come here – we chose this dinner place because it is in close proximity to our main target that we’ve wanted to try since ages ago; unfortunately we were out of luck that day, but dinner has to carry on. I have to say I wasn’t that excited about dining here, because 1) It’s a Korean restaurant, 2) From what I googled, its specialty is Korean BBQ, and 3) My friend cautioned that it will be pricey. 😦

Nothing against Korean food and Korean restaurants really – In fact I LOVE KOREAN FOOD AND I MISS ALL THE AWESOME KOREAN FOOD IN KOREA! I just feel that the prices of Korean food here are much more expensive than that in Korea, so the thought of having to pay more for Korean food which may not be as authentic as that in Korea or for something my mom could possibly replicate in much larger portions just diminishes the appeal of having Korean food while dining out here. And it is a pity to realise that Korean BBQ is not exactly my thing either, because I can’t appreciate meat as much as my sister can!

Yet very surprisingly, these negative sentiments I harboured initially were totally turned around at the end of dinner! Firstly, I was sooo glad that we are not having Korean BBQ, instead we got Hot Plate to share!

OMG I LOVE ALL THE BANCHAN THEY HAVE HERE :3

nice to have after dinner hehe

Yayyay and the banchan was AWESOME! I LOVE ALL THE BANCHAN THEY HAVE! I wish my tummy has the space for me to get refills for ALL the banchan – that’s how much I liked it and how excited I was! Wheeee!

Was so full I almost thought I couldn’t finish dessert but NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWERS OF THE DESSERT STOMACH! 8D After the dinner, we just popped over to their dessert section right behind and with the receipt from Ju Shin Jung we were able to get 10% discount on our bingsu! (:

Injeolmi Bingsu!

Can’t wait to bring my family here again to share the joyyyy! ((;
