More eats from Isetan....and a crab

Ok, I've been guilty of lurking around Orchard on Saturday again because of the Japanese fairs. And some other appointments that I have in that area. It's the last weekend of this particular fair and I wanted to drop by Isetan for some of the winter goodies before it's over. The only thing I ended up buying was more of the shio ramen. I realized that it's a good idea to go at the end of the fair because that's when stocks have to be cleared and offers get better. The ramen which I had purchased were going at 1 free packet for every 3 that was purchased. Here's lunch and some pre-dinner snacking. Also, I saw a very big crab there. It looks cold, angry and lonely....

Lunch...




After having tried the umaki tamago from Botan, I decided to grab these chilled and takeaway version from the supermarket in Isetan. These were cut in big slices. The toppings were teriyaki unagi encased in tamago and were much larger than the vinegar-ed rice bottom. That made it a challenge to pick them up with chopsticks. Flavours of the eggs and eel were much less compared to the warm and freshly made ones.

You might also have noticed that I liked the otoro sushi quite a bit to be eating them again. The batch from today looked fattier and indeed tasted more flavourful than the ones which I had last week. In fact, I enjoyed them so much that I got a second round of them later in the day. The swordfish sashimi wasn't too bad as well.

Before dinner...

pumpkin croquette

This ice cream was strangely shaped like a jester's cap. The light pink side is actually sakuramochi flavour. There're some chewy bits which was supposed to be the mochi. Of the sakura, I didn't quite detect. The yellow side of the jester's cap is pumpkin. Flavour was more light rather than rich for the pumpkin.
