Burning with Style?

After numerous weeks of eating and trying out new diners, I realised that I haven't been trying Indian food for quite some time. I started keeping a lookout for interesting Indian diners and I managed to come across... this.

'Papadum' After placing my orders, this basket of 'Papadum' just appear out of nowhere. While waiting for my orders, I decided to give the 'Papadum' a go first. Well, the texture is reasonably crispy. Luckily, I was dining alone, else it's kinda sad if I have to share this delicious basket of 'Papadum' with a group of people.

'Spices / Sauces' I don't think I have used any of these at all. And that just proves how good the 'Papadum' and the subsequent food items are... :)

'Vindaloo Curry + Saffron Rice' These are the items that I have ordered for my dinner the other day.

'Vindaloo Curry(Chicken)' This is/would probably end up to be the most reddish portion of Curry that I have seen for the year 2014. I was stirring it for a short while and it seems that the texture of the Curry over here, isn't watery at all. In fact, it's pretty thick and solid. Oh by the way, as you placed an order for this, the waiter will ask you to choose the level of spiciness that you want. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest level. Taste wise, I would write about it in a short while. (Anyway, I ended up trying level 7 :D.)

'Saffron Rice' Hmmm, in fact I don't find this any different from the usual 'Biryani Rice' that I'm getting outside. However, one thing I don't like about the food over here would be the portion. The portion of the food over here just isn't big enough for me. :(

Once I started digging into both dishes, the colors of the Curry looks pretty overpowering. In fact, it was really very spicy and tasty. The first few spoonful might not have an impact on you, but the tension will slowly build up and burn you inside out for a short period of time. This in fact was pretty good. I wonder how the highest level would ended up to be. Well, that's something that I'm pretty interested to find out. On top of that, the boneless chicken that comes with the Curry are pretty tender and well 'marinated' with the Curry. However, to summarize the overall dining experience, I still find the spicy Curry to be the most memorable part of that meal.

So where can you give the food a good try?

Japan's biggest chain of Gyoza Restaurant - "Gyoza No Ousho"

Have you been to Japan before? If you have, you would probably have seen or tried the restaurant that specialise in selling 'Gyoza'. In fact, there's a 'Gyoza No Ousho' branch in Singapore and it is located at Cuppage Plaza. Therefore, I have decided to blog about the restaurant today.

The above was a photo of the exterior of Singapore's 'Gyoza No Ousho'.

Since the name of the restaurant is 'Gyoza No Ousho', which means that it is the 'King of Gyoza', therefore their speciality would be the 'Gyoza', also known as 'Dumplings'. The restaurant only sells 2 different kinds of 'Gyoza' and that would be 'Pan-Fried Gyoza'(Left) and 'Deep-Fried Gyoza'(Right). What's the best part about the 'Gyoza' that they have prepared? The crispy skin were fantastic and it blends prefectly with the ingredients.

Note:
'Gyoza No Ousho' was founded in Kyoto, Japan.
Unbelievable and amazingly interesting.

The only restaurant in Singapore that serves 'Kakigori'

'Kakigori' would be a famous Japanese dessert that the Japanese have been eating during Summer. The shape of the 'Kakigori' was pretty similar to the shape of the 'Ice Kacang' that we can easily find in Singapore. However, the ingredients used in both desserts were completely different. A normal 'Kakigori' only contains shaved ice and syrup only. As for a &aposIce Kacang', ingredients like red beans, jelly, etc were included in a normal bowl of 'Ice Kacang'. Well Let us look at some images of food.

'Kakigori' Uji Kintoki flavour with Condensed Milk added	'Kakigori' Melon flavour with Red Beans and Condensed Milk added	A variety of 'Kakigori' (Light Green) Uji Kintoki flavour (Green) Melon flavour (Pink) Strawberry flavour (Yellow) Mango
Due to the hot weather that I have been experiencing in Singapore, probably more than twice a week, I would have the urge to eat some cold desserts in order to make me happy. :)

Besides for 'Kakigori', the restaurant also offers a spread of Japanese delicacies like

White Radish,	Pan fried dumplings,
Deep Fried Chicken,	Japanese cold noodles,
Basically, you can find all sorts of Japanese delicacies at this restaurant. (However, I think that among all the food that they are offering, 'Kakigori' tastes the best.)

As for the name of the restaurant, it will be 'Tamaya Dining'.

Note(The following was a rule of the restaurant):

• If you would want to try the 'Kakigori' of the restaurant, you will at least need to place an order for Sake or food. Although the rule was a bit disturbing, but for the sake of the 'Kakigori', I think that it was pretty worth it.
