P/S: Sorry for the long lapse in updating this blog as i was busy a while back!

I'm not quite sure whether the previous heeren's branch moved to cuppage or there was already an outlet in cuppage but it sure pales in comparison to the heeren's outlet!


Cuppage Plaza
5 Koek Road
Singapore 228796


After the heeren's outlet closed in feb this year, we went to the nearest pontian wanton mee in cuppage and found that they weren't using their usual springy noodles anymore.

We went back recently and were surprised to find that their noodles were springy again. However, this time round, it's the flavour which was screwed up. We told them that we wanted more dark soy sauce for our noodles but when our order came, the noodles still looked and tasted bland~ -_-"

There's other things that disappointed us could nitpick about: the tasteless char siew, the greasy fried wantons, the absence of fried pork lard (!!)... etc.

Despite all these, there seemed to be a steady stream of customers still. Perhaps we should return another time and who knows? Third time's the charm?

I saw the advertisement of this camera weeks ago and i cannot get over how frickin' cute it is!!

OMG.
My fave is of coz the cotton pink one! Even the name of its colour is so cute can!

OMG.
OMG.
This is the advertisement that caught my attention:

OMG.
Even its advertisement screams CUTENESS!!

All i can say is that it came out one year too late! But i love my beloved camera still!

It was after Mion's and my AOW presentation and we met up with Milo for lunch in plaza singapura~ Mion and i were in the mood for some japanese food and since Milo was late, it gave both of us the authority to go ahead and choose a place first heh heh~

We didn't want sakae and ajisen, ichiban was under renovation, so it's down to ajitei. I was disappointed with the takashimaya's branch and i thought i'd just avoid ordering what i've tried and disliked before!


I had a sudden craving for omurice and i ordered the tonpei omurice ($10.80). It comes with grilled sliced pork which was a tad salty and oily but it wasn't all too bad. The tomato rice inside the omelette was rather bland though~

I know it's unfair to compare but ma maison's version was way better! Actually, even this was a tad better!


Mion had the salmon don ($12.80) and i think it was alright except that they were a little stingy with the salmon slices? She still had a sizeable portion of rice left after she finished the salmon~


Milo had to rush off first, so she only had a side dish: cheese cutlet ($4.80). She liked it coz it had loads of cheese!


We ordered a side to share: potato menti ($4.80)~ Unlike waraku's version, ajitei's potato menti actually features chunks of potatoes topped with cheese and bits of bacon~ We liked it pretty much but agreed that it was quite salty!

I gotta say that it was a rather long wait for our orders, although the staff was pretty fast to refill our iced water several times. The food's pretty average; i'm not too much of a fan still!

We have passed by this shop many times before and we finally caved in after we saw the affordable prices on their menu banner outside the shop~

Their menu's rather extensive and we contemplated quite awhile over it. Their ordering system was simple enough; we had to tick our choices and take it to the counter where we pay first and finally sit down to wait for our food~

Baby's (dry) pork chop noodles ($5.50) was a rather good choice - the noodles was springy and well-flavoured. The pork chop was really well-seasoned as well~


I went for their fried qq noodles ($5.50) and we were pleasantly surprised at how good this tasted - we could distinctively taste the wok hei in the noodles~ Plus, the portion's pretty big as well. The only thing I could pick on in this dish is that it was much too oily!


Their dumpling soup ($4) was rather mediocre though~

In a nutshell, this was a surprising find! There's no service charge and GST, dishes are priced affordably, and we were pleasantly surprised at the standard of their food~ We'll be coming back!
