More noodling and tori karaage at Menya Kokoro

Came by Menya Kokoro for some of their summer menu "super" noodles.

Their citrus hiyashi seafood ramen sounded good. Weather's been sweltering lately. While I'm willing to admit that it was a refreshing bowl as a whole, I'm not impressed and this large portion was measly. As a citrus cold noodle, Healthy Soba IKI's lemon soba blows this out of the water by being more flavourful and citrus-y. Completely. As a soba with lime, it wasn't anywhere as limey as a proper sudachi soba. Prawns were sweet but the clams didn't taste good and those thin slices of scallops had almost no flavour.

This was their super garlic mazesoba. Garlic was obviously the selling point and one could see chopped, pureed and fried garlic among the toppings. It's not very garlicky. It's a nice bowl with their usual mazesoba standards but garlicky it was not. I expected something called super garlic mazesoba to be in your face and dragon's breath or money back kind of garlicky. Enough of the word garlicky. Felt gimmicky. 

Tori karaage was delicious. This will likely become a regular order. Today's looked a little smaller though. I wonder if I had imagined that. But I've said enough about them already.

Ham croissant from Pullman Bakery

My favourite croissant. For now. I haven't had that much but I know this one with ham from Pullman Bakery is currently in my top spot. There's a light crisp on the exterior with the savoury browned crusty cheese while the most of the insides are tender and chewy, moist and filled with flavour from butter. Definitely not style over substance.

Kimchi seafood soup set from Milkfish

We were looking for something lighter tonight so we ended up at Milkfish which we haven't eaten at in a while. There's a kimchi option for their seafood soup which wasn't in the menu previously. Aside from the kimchi, I'm pretty sure I tasted tomatoes and their sweetness. It's not bad though with the heat and tanginess.

Sultan Kebab, Maxwell Food Centre

Not that Sultan Kebab. That's ancient history. This was a relatively new stall at Maxwell Food Centre (#01-86 Maxwell Food Centre, 1 Kadayanallur Street).

This was a plate of mixed beef and chicken on pesto penne. Pretty generous portions of meat over the buttery pasta. Not bad tasting but they also weren't very different from most of the other kebab stalls since all of them pretty much sold the same things.

Prawnography, Novena Gardens

Heard about Prawnography (#01-03A Novena Gardens, 273 Thomson Road, tel : +65 8686 9777) recently and I've gotta admit their name was at least a little bit arresting. Tried their Hokkien mee. Noodle's were nicely scorched and was smokey with the stock. Pretty flavourful but lacking in the crustacean aspect and it was also a little sweet - the latter part bothered me a little. Surfeit crept in after half the plate. Chilli didn't pack much punch in flavour and also didn't have as much heat as the fiery red might have suggested.
