Siglap has a number of hidden joints and Megumi Japanese Restaurant is one of those that have been around for yonks and I have conveniently forgotten about its existence. Even past 2pm, tables were still occupied - seems like a hot place for late lunches for families or solo diners too. Somehow in my memory Megumi was alot more upmarket than the casual dining place that it is today. Hotplate Beef Reminding me of Pepper Lunch, this hotplate arrived sizzling hot and we probably both smelt like lunch after this course.  This came with a miso soup and rice set. Over tenderised, the meat ended up having no bite at all. An ordinary stir fry at best.   Salmon Don I craved chirashi don and there was only salmon and tuna don available - think furikake rice topped with salmon slices and served with sweet tamago and pickles. Supermarket quality at best which left me less than satisfied, unfortunately. Stir fry vegetables that could not go wrong, except portions for this price tag was considerabl

Wasabi Tei, Mitsuba and Manzoku all have one thing in common - Nazi Chef who once helmed the kitchens of the former and was known for thick cut sashimi slices and his single order policy. I could have been curious about Mitsuba previously and had that curiosity satisfied until a single sponsored advertorial on facebook once again piqued the interest - the chirashi bowl. What in a bowl that stirred such interest? 17 types of ingredients it seems. Jyo Chirashi ($32) Graphics must have conjured up the image of must try - the angling and of course, edits made this a must try. Available over weekends for lunch and dinner, Jyo Chirashi is the only other choice available next to their buffet course. The bowl was regular sized and by means of 17 types included items like lobster salad, flying fish roe, tamago and grilled eel which typically are not the regulars in a chirashi don. Colourfully put together but by no means authentic, this would have been a food fad just for the sake of and

If I had my way, I would have picked a hospital with my preferred gynae and then cater confinement food from another known for it - and I suppose that is how life really is, I cannot have my cake and eat it all the time. NUH it was in A-Class ward and in those 3 nights that I stayed I was barely conscious for the first to even review my menu and make food choices - there were choices of western, chinese, malay, indian and of course confinement. Plus, a celebratory meal that came complete with a single sunflower, the husband gets to eat and yay, table cloth.  Western French Toast and Chicken Ham Seeing processed food like chicken ham on the hospital menu always makes me laugh, so...are they considered bad foods at all? Nothing to yell about since this was hardly warm when I got to eat it and french toast was the yummiest sounding on the menu already. Oats with Honey In my bid to up my milk supply, I resorted to ordering oats which reminded me so much of Grandpa somehow. I grew up hatin
