Food Blog: Funan & Liang Court
After walking rounds and rounds (acutally two levels only), we finally sat down and had a small discussion on what to eliminate as we had too much information on hands. HY wanted to get a laptop for school and entertainment. I think by now, she has more or less settled on Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv6800, but a 14.1" I think the laptops are very pretty! Feel like making one of them mine. hahah
Anyway, we settled down in one of those cafes in the midst of the busty mall, sipping coffees and eating toast while we continued to discuss on what's the more appropriate and a better buy. heh
Of the kaya and butter
Then, we made our ways back to Cityhall to meet our respective friends. After a month, she's still celebrating her birthday while I met up with Cindy to have our dinner. Parted, both of us strolled to Liang Court's Tampopo since it's already dusk. No harm walking as we could save on transport though there will be quite a damage done to my overactive sweat glands. lol
I had an order of the Kyushu Ramen even though I was craving for the Black Pig Tonkatsu Cutlet. Din have it because I was having a bad cough but the friend was very nice to offer me. hahah
Kyushu Ramen - Very authentic. Even before I started eating, the fragrance from within the bowl was overwhelming. On having the soup, it was more of seasme yet it felt light at the same time. It's a good broth which you can get addicted on drinking it. Noodles wise, al dentle. The hindsight was that the meat was too tough. Baikohken Ramen's, also known as Hokkaido San'scharsiews are still the best. They are godlike!
They have this interesting red pool of roe on the surface. It tasted kinda sour but appetising. That was a good order! Oiishi~
The friend, on the other hand had Tonkatsu Ramen. Dunno why it was so spicy this time round that neither of us could take it. Finished it though with some help from the ice water and filtering off the spicy broth. Cutlet was very well done. Crispy and thin which makes it easier to bite and it's not dry.
While waiting for my desserts to be served, I spied on the chefs. hahah. Not that I can learn anything, I just find them very meticulous in their cookings and attentive to customers' needs.
Here comes our long awaited desserts. We came here not only for ramens but also for their signature Chiffon cakes too. Pledged it to come again to try since the last visit and it was delightful. heh
Macha Chiffon - This was really good. The cake was soft, fluffy and flavoursome. It was macha diffusion throughout the whole cake. Strawberries added was a complement to the cake but it tasted a tad sourish for the friend. Cream on the other hand was a no no to me. I'm not a fantic fan for it as I think it tastes funny and fattening, so I had a hard time eating the cake, scraping the cream aside now and then. But it was joyful eating the machaaaaa cake!
Cheese Chiffon - Disappointed with it. The chiffon, though light, was practically tasteless and I certainly didnt appreciate sporadic gratings of cheese which did nothing more than allow the chiffon to live up to its name. Hence, it's just like an ordinary sponge cake.
Though the cakes were a lil' pricey, $5.80 for a slice. I think it's worth it for the enjoyment throughout I had =P
- End
I had an interesting conversation (I'll share it if I've a chance) while waiting for our bus. It was a long 40 minutes wait. Talkin bout efficiency! tssssssk
Will time stop for me?
