Ramen Play, 313@Somerset

While I was walking around at 313, there was a restaurant located at level B3 attracted me, Ramen Play, a very interesting name.





The interior design of the restaurant makes people feel comfortable.


Due to my first time visit, all food i ordered are chef-recommended.


The very first of the introduction is the restaurant's signature Ramen, Sanpou Shoyu Ramen. There two choices of soup base (Tonkotsu/Shoyu), but the previous one wasn't available.

Sanpou Shoyu Ramen.


I really really like it! The soup, the pork, especially the noodle! Before writing this article, I tried Ajisen Ramen to make comparison, the result came out with Ramen play as a winner (personal opinion). Because the noodle of Ramen Play is softer without losing its springiness. So does the Cha Shu (braised pork belly) is very juicy!




Unagi Toji Set. Grilled unagi wrapped in soft eggs and served sizzling hot in a pot. Comes with miso soup and rice.

This one is not as nice as the ramen. I don't like to have my Unagi cooked in soy sauce which will only make it even salty and i can't feel there is any springiness retained in the Unagi.

Side Dish...


Mustard Chicken Platter.

Vege Prawn Roll


Crispy Dango (Don't be cheated by its appearance, it is not Takoyaki!)
Ideally for 2 persons, it doesn't occupy too much space of your tummy and the vege roll is a nice appetizer as the roll was served with Thai sour sauce. And the Takoyaki look-like Dango is actually chicken meat ball, nice too.


The restaurant service is nice, the stuffs are always alert and friendly. Again I wanna mention, the noodle of the restaurant is really nice, it stimulate my interest on Ramen which is not my favourite. I would like to recommend this restaurant. (4 stars)

The Handburger, 313 @ Summerset

The Handburger, it is located at 313 summerset. Actually I don't really like to eat burger, but this restaurant has its burger impressed me.


It is always crowded in the restaurant after office hour, so better reach there early...

There is a tray on seats, but the seats kinda close to each other. :(

The menu...

The set meal oways includes a main course (burger), a side dish, and a glass of drink.

Onion Ring. I love to have it dipped with the special sauce. It is different from what we have at other restaurant. Damn crispy!

Another side dish, mixed green salad.

When it was served, I didn't put too much attention on it. But the special mayonnaise (maybe) makes the salad different, there is sesame in the mayonnaise so that it has got nice smell. I like its salad more than the 1 I had at Trattoria(at Summerset too).

Now, the main course.

Tandoon Chicken Burger. This burger is Asian style. I like its bun, it is very soft and fluffy, different from the other bun.

I don't like the chicken (chest). It is tasteless at the inner part.

Now is another burger ordered by my friend.

Chicken Caesar burger. This one better than the previous. There is bacon wrapping the chicken, nice to be eaten with the mushroom paste n caesar sauce.

Actually the restaurant's attraction is their special made sauce applied on the food, so that an ordinary food can become very nice after topping with the sauce. The only thing is the restaurant is a little too packed, not suitable for a casual dining. And because there was too many customer in the restaurant, it took quite a long time for our food to be served. And the last thing is the price, hmm... seems expensive, the food shown just now, together with 2 glasses of drink already costed over S$30.

I would like to put 3 stars for the restaurant.

Ji De Chi Dessert Shop @ Liang Seah Street

There are quite many Chinese style dessert shops along Liang Seah Street, which is just behind Bugis Junction. And this is one of those on the street -- Ji De Chi. This dessert shop provides more choices of cold desserts while the others more on hot and traditional desserts.

The shop is very small and there are always crowded at night. So everytime when I visit the cafe I have to wait till the previous diners leave the table.

Shooting on the interior of the small dessert shop...

The cafe was awarded by The Green Book, seems like it is worth to have a try on it.

Start ordering...

Yin Yang Mango Black Glutinous Rice

This is quite special since there are red beans in the mango ice. Anyway, this is not my favourite.

Durian Snowy Ice

That's it! My favourite! I like the durian smell especially the cream on the ice. This kind of dessert can be found at anywhere else but the topping of the ice make it special. Besides the durian cream, there are also pomelo and yogurt balls as the toppings too.

Strawberry and Passionfruit Snowy Ice

I wanna say that actually the ice is not very sweet as you think, even my friend claim it not sweet enough. I like this, having with sweetness of strawberry and fragrance of passionfruit. Sometimes having with mango and other toppings, really enjoy it!

The dessert shop serves snacks too.

Mango in Glutinous Rice

The green tea flavour glutinous rice is wrapping the mango and red bean. Kinda Japanese style but not really because there is shredded coconut on the outer layer of the roll. The most important is the every part of the roll doesn't overcome each other's role. What a impressive match!

Honestly, the environment of the dessert shop is not that pleasant. I had my desserts with sweat terribly. Anyway, if considering the desserts and snacks, I still think that it is worth to go for. I want to rank the food here as 3.5 per 5 stars.

MOF の My Izakaya @ Bugis Junction

This is my second time to dine at this restaurant, MOF の My Izakaya. It is located at the second floor of Bugis Junction. Although the restaurant also provides a variety of attractive desserts and drinks, the main reason for me to come for second time is because of the quality of the food and the environment here.




Maybe because the restaurant owner wants to provide more seats, the seats are arranged quite closely.


This is the best corner to have our dinner.

As mentioned, we came to this restaurant for the food, so we didn't order any special drinks. Green tea only we ordered.

The green tea is served in a pot and it will be put on a mini stove to maintain the temperature. It can be refilled if the tea is finished.

Let's see the food we ordered, some are recommendable, some are not.

Soba Crepe -- soba wrapped in seaweed and egg crepe roll.

I want to praise the chef who makes it. Actually it is very hard to have the Soba stick together if compared to the Sushi rice. But this one, I took it with my chopsticks and non of the Soba dropped.
Unfortunately, I still prefer the original shape of the Soba.

Seafood Toji Tempura Set. The Seafood Toji is worth recommended. The seafood are fresh, cooked in an egg soup. Yummy!

Seafood Toji.

This is the one I ordered for myself. Chef recommendation.

Ebi Fry Curry Rice. I really like fried prawn, it is crispy but not oily. The curry is nice too.

Tan-tan Ramen -- Minced beef and pork ramen in spicy sesame soup.

Unagi Bento. I like the Unagi, it is not too salty and nice to be served with rice.

Yasai Tempura Bento.

Unagi Hot-Stone Rice -- unfotunately, i was unable to take the picture before the waitress mix it with the sauce. T_T Anyway, the rice can be still hot even at the last mouth.

The price of the food here are quite reasonable. I like here because the food here are quite different than other Japanese restaurants. The most important thing is the ingredients of the food is fresh. I also want to suggest this restaurant to dessert-lovers who like Japanese food.

Although the environment here is comfortable, the arrangement of the seats are quite too close and I really don't like there are some steps in the restaurant. My friend almost felt down due to it.

At last, I want to give 3 stars for this restaurant.
