Food Blog: Ion Greatness
Previously, I have mentioned that Ion's basement is a food heaven. They serve yummy Japanese food and munchers. This time round, I had bought my trusty LX2 out with me, so I managed to snap pictures before the food was sent down to my tummy fast and furiously!
Ramen first. It was my second time there, so had a change of taste. The noodles was al dente, soup was fabulous, just that the charsiew and tamago needs some improvements. The charsiews aint that amazing yet, the standards kinda flucuats; soft on some, hard on the others.
Simple menu
Green tea with lotsa powder residue at the bottom of the cup
Hokkaido Kaiko Ramen
Notice the ramen was served with xiaobaicai rather than cabbages, or bamboo shoots like the other ramens I've eaten before. So it was kinda eye-opening. I think for a bowl of good ramen, the soup base and the noodles are the most important ingredients. heh
Their soup base comes in white miso (original) or red miso (chilli) or soy sauce (shoyu). Tried the spicy ramen twice with white miso and red miso. Just that the red miso tasted extremely hot with the spicy soup base. It was a challenge to finish it yet it tasted so god-like =P
Next on, takoyaki. heh. Long and snaky queues can always be seen. The balls are good, crispy on the inside, fillings are filled to the maximum in the inside. Sinfully good~ hahah
There're a few more yummylicious food which I've tried there. Show it to you guys again when I took photos of it =P

ahhh..
It had been a long while. During this hiatus, I have been..
Resting,
Not working hard to look for a job,
Still finding cool places for food,
Celebrated hamburger, matchstick and pebbles' bdae
Exercising
Manage to get a glimpse of Stephen Fung at the Cartier opening at Ion
A getaway (HK & Macau) from this busy red dot (not the life I wanna live),
Shopping - I won a Uniqlo voucher. heh. Checkered ftw!!! hurhur.
Had many falls from blading; injured myself from an accident on a bicycle -_-
Meet up with people/ gatherings
Found a job and still uncertain and unsettled.
Besides these, let me share some food places. hahah. Ion basement is godlike. It's a heaven for food or munchers like me, especially those outside the Food Opera. Those fingerfood kind. heh
1) Takoyaki balls
2) Japanese Pancake - Expensive but worth for everything inside especially the banana chocolate!!!!! Unbelievable good, crispy and melt in your mouth (the banana is melted btw)! Gotta try the italian and the british ones someday when I'm super hungry. The fillings are STUFFED!
3) Swissroll cake but super expensive. Try the caremel ones!
4) Rameeeeeeeeeen! Eat ramen at this stall beside R burger, it's godlike! The spicy ones ROCKS! However, the tamago needs improvement. Too boiled already. heh. The restaurant's ramen (which is one level up with snaky queues), PLEASE DUN try it at all, the portion is pathetic and the ramen taste funny.
5) R burger. Healthy and creative burger. The burger with marine collagen, taste like a bun with chicken fillet, beef patty, salmon stuffed in between. Is like Chinese's kong ba bao??? hahah.. Just that not so fattening. And the queue very long and service quite slow. hahah
hehe. I will be making recurring trips back to ION for more food and Uniqlo??? hahah. I haven gotta see the FALL collection and it has all been SOLD OUT!!!!!! WTTTTTT!!
Uniqlo has been treating me quite well. hahaha.. SO LET ME WIN A TRIP TO JAAAAAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
