Ma Maison (Japanese style western restaurant)

As Hong Kong has its version of western food, so does the Japanese. I would proudly like to present you this "Japanese style" western food restaurant. They have my favorite typical Hamburg set lunch, fish fry set etc which comes with soup appetizer, rice or bread and a choice of coffee or tea either hot or cold. You can find this "ma maison" either in Bugis Junction, Central, or Parco in Millennia Walk. Their sister branch, which serves Tonkatsu is located in Orchard, but I will talk about them in other occasion.

Lawrys restaurant

Surprisingly this restaurant seem to be a hidden popular venue for birthday party for adults. I encountered two groups sitting aside us on one afternoon when we sit for afternoon tea. This costs SGD 15.00 per head which comes with appetizer and main plate and your choice of drink. Quite reasonable price considering the atmosphere and hospitality.

Traditional Japanese style toilet in Great World City of Singapore?

Japanese "family restaurant" in JAS

One of the popular and the only reasonably priced Japanese restaurant is "Donguri" in Japanese Association in Singapore at Adam Road, just out of southward exit from PIE.
They have ramen, curry rice, set lunch and dinner and a easy buffet in dinner time. The food they present reminds me of the typical family restaurant or "famiresu" in Japan. Concept is not too expensive affordable for average family outings. the payment is all billed monthly for members but do not know how it works for non-members.
