Singapore Eats: Lunch at Harry's, Marina Bay Financial Centre

Hello! It's finally Friday (near Saturday actually by the time I blog about this post...haha). Lately I'm pretty much grateful when I'm able to pass day by day and reach weekend again. I wonder why work is that tough for me. Hahaha. A friend pointed out that he recently enjoys his lunchtime so much by being a happy foodie (despite the fact that he has to eat by himself in order to eat at a particular restaurant that he likes). That kinda makes me want to try to but when there's lunch buddy, it's time to eat at places where it's kinda hard to eat alone. For instance, I don't really see people eating alone at Harry's. So let's have lunch here while you still have lunch buddies (believe me, they have to be cherished!).

There are three of us so we just ordered two main courses since one of the main courses is pizza. This is the first time I eat in Harry's despite its location being pretty near my office. I suppose I am more food court-kind of girl especially when it's so near yet so far to payday. Lunch buddy #1 feels like having something different than his usual caesar salad so he ordered lamb shank. Whoa. It surprisingly yummy and not tough to eat. I always have impression that lamb meat is hard to eat. Impression destroyed. Good job, Harry's.

The mushroom pizza turns out to be a choice that we never regret. I kinda wonder what did Harry's put inside this pizza because as far as my eyes can see, the pizza is filled with mushroom and mushroom (okay, there's cheese and some arugula leaves, but still...). I seldom praise vegetarian pizza but the mushroom pizza at Harry's taste good up to the point I don't believe vegetarian dishes are healthy. Hehe.

Singapore Eats: Sushi Tei, Vivo City

I am so happy my bae is finally back in Singapore after spending 5 days 4 nights holiday in Bali. Thanks to the technology (i.e. internet connection), we are still chatting using LINE as if we are in Singapore. She even bought me some Balinese snacks. Yum. No wonder we are best friends. Hahaha. 
To celebrate her return (and the weekend of course), we had our usual Saturdate eating Japanese cuisine at Sushi Tei. Needless to say, Sushi Tei's outlet could be find practically anywhere in Singapore and it is famous for its long line. But it's okay, we have enough Magikarp and Rattata to catch anyway (Why can't I find Pikachu?). After we got our table, we immediately made our order and pick our favourite sushi from the sushi train, the salmon aburi sushi. I have never found better sushi than this which involved salmon aburi (okay, I am more of a fan of modern sushi which utilise the use of sauce instead of the original sushi from Japan which only use rice and raw fish). The crunchy bits are really nice too.

Both of us are missing the Japanese curry rice so much. Japanese curry is pretty different from Indian and Indonesian curry. It has a hint of sweetness and yet, pretty thick. If you want to recreate some Japanese curry, I guess it's easy to use curry blocks from the supermarket although I really don't know which brand is nice. Chicken katsu curry from Sushi Tei tastes heavenly especially since they use Japanese rice. My ultimate weakness I have to say.

We ate the snack that my bae brought from Bali as dessert. It looks pretty similar to those dessert which I usually find in wet market in Jakarta. Texture wise, very chewy with a lot of coconut and cheese on it. This kinda makes me miss home. :(

Sushi Tei can be found at major shopping malls in Singapore like Vivo City, Raffles City, and Paragon.
