It was the 1st time I visited here. Anyway I was so busy working these few days that I did not even know that there was this Japanese restaurant hiding inside of Iluma. As usual, I was late for my dinner appointment again and all my friends has finished their meals right after I came into the restaurant.

僕はこのラストランは初めてきた。最近は忙しくて、あまり時間がないので、新しいラストランがIlumaにできたこと全然分からなかった。いつもと同じ、今日も約束に遅刻してしまったんで、ラストランに入ったと、みんなも食事終わった所だ。。

My lobster ramen set. tasty looking ?

Closer view at the lobster ramen

I would admit that after staying in Osaka in 2 years, I am actually not really adapted to Japanese food in Singapore because the taste and freshness of the dish is quite incomparable. But well, face the fact that I am living in Singapore. The soup does tasted delicious but I found that it is a bit salty, perhaps salt is getting cheaper nowadays while the lobster are getting more expensive. I wasn't really sure it was lobster or just crayfish that I was putting inside my mouth. Both looked almost identical.

大阪に２年住んだだからさ、僕にとって、シンガポールの日本料理と日本の日本料理は全然比べられないと思うわ。味でも、材料の新鮮でも、日本ほうがいいと思う。

The lobster ? Or just another cray fish ?

 The salad don't really look fresh isn't it ? Indeed, it was horrible..

Salad.　サラダ

 This was much a fusion kind of gyouza with a sauce that I did not really fancy at. Perhaps I was too full after eating the ramen, but definite it would not be the kind of gyouza I would be looking forward at.

Serangoon Gardens is a central place for restaurants and banks and during the night, the After so many times I have been to Chomp Chomp (at Serangoon Gardens), I did not noticed that there was this stall right in the front, perhaps most of the time I would only eat seafood or stringray, or maybe it was just opened not long ago ? Anyway, the stall looks clean and simple, which to our perception that the food is not nice. I was thinking of going for the Penang Prawn Mee but instead I have chosen the Lor Mee because it has really been some time I last eaten the Lor Mee.

Surprisingly, despite of the humble look, the ingredients are generous. With one and a half egg (quite rare nowadays to give some much), fish cake slices and meat. On top of that, the chili is also very exciting as well, though it was chili paste, it definitely can be compared with chili padi. Guess what ? It cost only SGD 3.50. Highly recommended.

Lor Mee Lor...

The uncle certainly has his way of enjoying his job, grilling the chicken wings while drinking beer ! I think he has drank at least 2-3 mug of beer while I was having my dinner.. Woo ..

Old couple managing the shop together... How lovely.

I would say that the chicken wings are marinated well and grilled perfectly. I am not sure about it, but the skin does have a bit taste of honey. Even without the chili sauce and lime, the chicken wings will taste well.

Dunno what kind of sauce they used, but it is delicious !

I was quite disappointed with the chawamushiちゃ
