Singapore Eats: Pigging Out at Pecori Japanese Egg Restaurant, Liang Court

We don't really hang out at Liang Court that often because we are simply too lazy to move our ass from the Central, which is located nearer to the Clarke Quay MRT Station. Especially when there is a yummy tiramisu cafe located at the basement level of the Central. #digress

Okay, ahem, coming back to track. This post is not about tiramisu. It's about a Japanese Egg dish called Omurice! We read from the review online that Pecori Japanese Egg Restaurant sells a humble but yummy omurice. So we just had to come. Oh hey, piggy plate looks so cute. #easilydistracted

Pigging Out at Pecori Japanese Egg Restaurant Liang Court

Our drinks were immediately served upon order. If you don't want to order drinks, there is free tea offered by the restaurant. Yes, the tea inside the paper cup obviously.

This is the trademark dish of Pecori, the hamburg omurice which is served with a demiglace sauce. Demiglace sauce is the rich brown sauce which taste a tad sweet.

Since my dining companion was on rice diet that day, we decided to share the omurice. But we added an order of chicken karage and since the chicken karage is served with a dollop of tartar sauce. I feel kinda pessimistic on the chance of success for my friend's diet. #nothelping

Overall, we quite like the Omurice although we prefer the omurice to be kinda spicy (our Indonesian tongue) but I suppose the Japanese does not really eat omurice in spicy manner unless you opt for a curry omurice. The chicken karage does not really need the tartar sauce to be honest.

If you want to try Curry Omurice, you can try one at Coco Ichibanya. I haven't really tried it but the curry sauce sold at Coco is quite yum!

Singapore Eats: Cocotto, Far East Square

Despite the morning madness, I really like working in Raffles Place. The choices for lunch is a lot. Way more than last time, when I was working in Orchard. In particular, I really like wandering around Far East Square. So many things to try and for today's lunch menu with a colleague-slash-buddy, we tried Cocotto.

Cocotto Far East Square Lunch Menu Singapore

Cocotto is a Japanese Fusion Restaurant and it serves lunch menu at the usual lunch hour. However, it also offers ala-carte items for lunch crowd. We were kinda more interested in the rice pilaf.

My colleague/ buddy ordered Cocotto Curry Pilaf, a curry-based rice dish.

While I ordered Cocotto De Omuraisu, a tomato-based rice dish.

The pilaf costs 10 each. Not a bad lunch deal considering that affordable lunch is getting lesser and lesser in the CBD area. =(

Singapore Eats: Coco Ichibanya, 313 Somerset

Recently there are more and more famous Japanese restaurant franchise popping up in Singapore. In terms of Japanese curry, there are two names worth mentioned. One is CoCo Ichibanya while the other one is Ginza Bairin.

CoCo offers a set menu which consists of a drink, a bowl of salad and the curry rice. Since it was my first try, I decided to get a set meal. Iced lemon tea is my choice of drink.

The greens are served with sesame sauce. I love sesame sauce. This makes me wonder is sesame sauce is fattening because whatever I love to eat is usually fattening. #sadworld

Sesame Salad Coco Ichibanya 313 Somerset Orchard

I ordered a cheese pork katsu curry rice. You can choose the spicy level of the curry sauce and the quantity of the rice. But do note that you must top up if you want to upsize the rice or want to increase the spicy level of the sauce. Boo~~

My dinner companion chose chicken karage omelet curry rice. The curry sauce is the same for both dishes so I guess it's a matter of choosing what would you like to have with the curry sauce.

CoCo Ichibanya has expanded to a few locations all around Singapore. The one I ate is located at basement level of 313 Somerset. There are another branches located at Bugis+ and The Star Vista.

Taipei Eats: A random Japanese restaurant, Gongguan

When you are staying in Taipei, everyday is an adventure to...look for a good food. Unless you are not a glutton like me, I suppose. Tonight, my classmate and I decided to venture one stop away from Taipower Building Station, Gongguan.

If you don't know it yet, there are a lot of restaurants and food stalls in Gongguan, both on the main streets and on the alleys behind the main streets. This is how the alley looks like. Food on the right, food on the left. Plus motorbikes.

We were so hungry after class, so we just followed our intuition and...our "eyesight". And we were tempted by the display of this Japanese restaurant.

The name of the restaurant. I'm really sorry but I can only read the last two characters - 拉麵/ Lāmiàn i.e. Japanese Ramen. XD

Japanese Ramen at Gongguan Taipei Taiwan

As what the name said, the restaurant serves a variety of ramen. They also have the rice set too.

Which is good for me, cause I was having a craving for an omurice.

My friend ordered Chicken Karage Set. We were so not into ramen that night. Maybe we love eating rice so much. Hahaha.

Each rice set costs around NTD 120 - 150. And they taste pretty decent although not that special. The restaurant is located on the alley near "Two Peck".

We are so gonna get fat in Taiwan.
