Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe @ Wheelock

TGIF! Time for a gathering session with my sweet buddies after work @ Sun with Moon Japanese dining and cafe. This is my 2nd time here, previously it was during lunch. The dinner varieties were more attractive, we target our all time favourites - Beef, Sashimi, Foie Gras and many more! Most of the dishes really satisfied me except for the pancake.

Ebi Mango Roll

Soft Shell Crab

Beef Tongue, I personally think that it tastes like pork belly haha.

Salmon Belly and Scallops - fresh!

Wagyu Beef, this was one of my favourites! Juicy and tasty, it will be better if you order it in medium rare state.

Foie Gras with Crisp Bread - Totally love it! I personally love to eat it separately, however you can eat with the bread, pretty good too. :)

Could get enough of beef steak and foie gras, this is another dish where you can have both of them together. :)

Baked Oysters, you can still taste the juiciness and freshness of the oyster.

This pancake didn't really interest me, I didn't finish my share. Taste like tako balls.

Gyoza

I definitely will come back again. :D

Putien Restaurant @ NEX

Mum's birthday is coming! Wow time really flies, it seems the celebration for her last year at The Line was still fresh in my mind hehe. This time round to avoid the crowd near the F1 race area, we decided to have it at Putien @ NEX. Well, they only allow reservation at 6pm or 8pm as 7pm is when the walk in queue starts.

Appetizer, unlike the usual peanuts we see. These were much bigger and you can deep with their self made chilli.

Starter - Drunken Cockles.  I didn't know this was a cold dish at first. It looks so different from the one in menu haha. Well, if you are into shell type of seafood and like a little raw taste in it with mouthful of garlic as companion, do give it a try. :P

Hot and Sour Squid Soup - Out of all their available soups, I think this should be the best, otherwise the alternative fish soup. The rest are just not so appetizing to me. :X

Steamed Prawn with Minced Garlic - I like this dish best so far, fresh steamed prawns with garlic and light soy sauce gravy. Simple and nice.

Deep fried Squirrel Fish with Gravy - Actually I preferred steamed fish especially those fresh one with light soy sauce. However this one looks interesting so I ordered to try. Hmm not really fascinating, probably lack of sweetness in the fish itself even though there's gravy.

Fry Asparagus with Scallops - This wasn't in the menu, the waitress told us it was only available today (tactic? :P) Yes it was the most ex dish due to the scallops (wasn't that big), the asparagus is more to hard than crunchy. Didn't really meet my expectation as I have tasted better one elsewhere.

Deep Fried Duck with Yam - The yam wasn't as fragrant as I thought and the duck meat was kind of tough. Kinda dry.

Fried Egg Plants with Pork Floss - This was alright but I should have ordered small portion instead as medium portion really looks alot. I still prefer stewed egg plant which is more tasty and juicy. Fried one feels rather cloy after 2 or 3 pieces.

 Sweet & Sour Pork with Lychees - Like any normal sweet and sour pork, you probably can't feel any lychee taste in the meat unless you eat the lychee itself haha. :X

Pumpkin cream with Ice cream - This dessert was recommended by them, quite refreshing, not very sweet but goes well with the ice cream.

Minoriya Japanese Restaurant

Thanks to a friend who helped to buy the online deal vouchers, from an originally $39.40 per pax we get to enjoy the ala carte buffet at $17 each. Located along Tanjong Katong road, you will see this Zen style Japanese restaurant, with cozy seating area inside.

The staffs were helpful and polite, attend to you when needed. Food wise were satisfactory but each serving was very little even though we asked for the amount to suit all of us. It's like one mouthful each? You just have to keep ordering. Well, probably this can minimize their losses and at the same time prevent wastage of food.

The images below may appear to be "big" portion. It's just closeup trick. :P

Assorted Sashimi

Grilled Shiitake Mushroom - my fav!

Tako Yaki - Soft Octopus Ball

Bean curd with Bonito sauce

Assorted Tempura

Grilled Chicken Wings

Saba Teriyaki - Mackerel with sweet soy sauce

Different types of Sushi

Egg plant with Miso

Shishamo - Pregnant Capelin fish

Beef with Special sauce

Chicken boiled with egg and special sauce

Pork Belly with garlic seasoning - tasty!

Seafood salad

Kimchi with Pork

Soft shell crab handroll

 Salmon with special sauce

 Griddle fried mix vegetables

 Peach fresh salad

 Chocolate ice cream
