Sun King Ryoriya (Japanese Style Taiwanese Cuisine)

Another up, and one of my most favorite Japanese style Taiwanese restaurant is this restaurant in both Far East Square and Robertson Quay.
They offer great deal of sets for lunch and I believe awesome sets in dinner time. My favorite is the mini Dan tai mian, shredded pork bowl. The Fried chicken (Karaage Chicken) is worth trying when you want to stuff your stomach. The shop is not so big so be aware if you are coming over in large group.

Check the address in the following Facebook page.

Restaurant Sangokushi (Japanese style Taiwanese food)

One of the few genre that has been out here for quite some time: Japanese style Taiwanese/Chinese restaurant. This shop in Robertson Quay area is located in quite strategic location where relatively wealthy guests, especially the Japanese expats, drop by for casual lunch or dinner over beer etc.
They serve the usual popular dishes as you see in the photo. I tried the mini-ramen, mini shredded-beef bowl and mini-gyouza set. Quality and price is not bad but definitely expensive than local food price.
Some waitress or maybe she is the manager speaks Japanese as well.
Address: 30 Robertson Quay, #01-03 Riverside View, Singapore

Seoul Garden (BBQ)

One of the few all-you-can-eat type BBQ restaurant I have been in Central area in Singapore is this Seoul Garden. It is in the 3rd floor of Bugis Junction in the restaurant area near Ma Maison or Kazokutei. You can see the menu price in the photo. The food quality is average and priced at what you get level.

No title hidden Japanese 食堂 type eatery

This is truly a hidden den type, cost friendly Japanese food eatery in CBD. No sign is listed, you need to go up stairs beside the kitchen of a hoker centre type eatery. When you reach the 2nd Level, you will be surprised to find the spacious but very down to earth type set ups. Miso soup is served on self service-take-as-much-as-you-lille style. Each dish is damn cheap. Chicken Katsudon for 5.50SGD is incredible., though the quality is so so...
So where you can find the place? Look around at crossing of McCallum and Cecil for Tunn Ann Association Bldg, perhaps ask the local shop keeper for location. Strongly recommended to be guided by those who have been there!

Antoinette (cafe)

The popular French style cafe in Singapore has opened its new outlet in Orchard area in Palais Renaissance (B1F). I have always gave up trying due to its long queue (in Mandarin Orchard), but the new shop may not be known so much, therefore was not so crowded at 3pm on Sunday.
The cakes are must try as well as their variety of teas. Be aware of the quantity of crepe, as this menu is exceptional in terms of amount compared to the other fish.

Tomisushi (富寿し)

Established in Niigata in 1950s, the restaurant provides the 100% Niigata Rice and other seafood, mostly Sushi. The taste is Good, especially for the Sushi. I recommend the Sushi Gozen, which includes the grilled fish, hijiki, tempura, miso soup, nigiri set including chu toro (see the photo). We went to the Millenia Walk Branch, and would recommend advanced booking. If in two or three guests, the counter seat looks nice, if you like to chat with the chefs.

Annam

This is a Vietnamese Restaurant with French colonial style interior along Scotts Road, back of Isetan Scotts. Very cozy but high class environment. Waiter and waitress are friendly to reply to our questions.Though each dishes seems to be costly than regular Vietnamese restaurant, the quality is worth it if you are to look for within Singapore.
As a family of two adult and two children, we spent around 200SGD for dinner, and the portion was good enough. The best thing is that we all enjoyed the quality food.

Tiong Bahru Pau

One of the local favorite Pau 包 stall, I recommend is in the Tiong Bahru Hawaker centre. Due to its variety, fair price and the taste, it has drawn many customer: so be aware, if you arrive late you may not able to find any or the shop may just call it a day.
Starting from the regular Cha Shu Bao, extending to breads, egg tart, most of the offering is worth a try.
