天空の爆弾 / The Atomic Bomb from the sky

空にキラキラ星がいっぱいです。しかし、去年に空から「爆弾」を落としました。だから、「爆弾」を食べに行きました。。。
The sky is full of glittering stars. However, an 'Atomic Bomb' has dropped from the sky last year. Therefore, I decided to give it a good try.

僕の告白：普通の人に比べて、僕のお腹の容量がちょっと大きいです。 だから無料ご飯追加サービスのレストランが大好きです。 故に「爆弾」を食べるために、ここに行きました。 Here's my confession: My appetite is slightly bigger as compared to a normal human being. Therefore I love restaurants that provides unlimited portions of rice at no extra costs. Therefore for the sake of the 'Atomic Bomb', I decided to give this place a good try.

このレストランで、ご飯以外キャベツも無料追加を出来ますよ。ｲｲﾈ♪d('∀'ｏ) 無料ご飯とキャベツ追加。。。そうです。これはとんかつレストランです。 Over here, besides for the unlimited free flow of rice, you can also get shredded cabbages for free too. But wait, unlimited free flow of rice and shredded cabbages, isn't that one of the characteristics of a Japanese 'Tonkatsu'(breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet) restaurant.

それだから、机の上でキャベツの胡麻ソース、とんかつソース、藻塩があります。 That's probably why, they are providing the 'Sesame Sauce' for the cabbages, 'Tonkatsu Sauce' and 'Seaweed Salt' on all the tables.

メニューに半分以上の定食は「かつ」があります。 これは「特選ロースかつ膳」です。 More than half of the items that are listed on the menu comes with with a breaded deep fried cutlet. The above shows 'Special Pork Loin Cutlet'.

とんかつの皮があまり厚くなくて、脂濃くないです。(・∀・)ｲｲﾈ! その上、甘い味が最高です。(・∀・)ｲｲﾈ!! 一番大切のポイントはサクサクなとんかつです。(・∀・)ｲｲﾈMax...... The skin of the cutlet isn't too thick and at the same time isn't too oily. On top of that, the sweet taste of the loin meat is a (+). But most importantly, the chewy and crunchy meat is unforgettable.

「ピヨピヨメンチカツ」 'Piyo Piyo Minced Meat Cutlet'

これは前に指す「爆弾」という料理です。 真ん中が煮玉子みたいな玉子、玉子の回りはメンチです。 切り開けてから、乳状の卵黄がゆっくり流れて、超美味いそうですね。 コンビが面白いですね。これと普通のとんかつが全然違います。 サクサクの質感よりシコシコの質感が多いですね。味が良いと思います。 しかし、分量が足りないです。もしもう一つの「爆弾」をくれたら。。。 This would be the 'Atomic Bomb' that I have mentioned earlier. The core of this cutlet was made up of an fantastic boiled egg, pretty much similar to those that you are getting from a bowl of Japanese Ramen. And it's wrapped around a layer of minced meat and topped with the breaded skin. And as you cut open the cutlet, the creamy egg yolk started to flow out of the core, which makes it look ultra yummy. The combinations looks pretty interesting and it's pretty different from the average cutlet. Not just being crunchy, there's also a chewy sensation and the taste of it are pretty good. However, the portions are kinda small and it will be great if they can throw in an extra cutlet in the set meal.

「ジャンボロースかつ膳」 さすが「ジャンボロースかつ膳」です。 この分量は二人をご一緒に食べられます。 ここで豚かつ以外、鳥かつとか、海鮮かつとか、様々なかつも販売あります。 是非食べてみてください。ﾟ+｡ﾟ(･∀･)ﾟ｡+ﾟｲｲ!! 'Jumbo Pork Loin Cutlet' This is indeed a jumbo loin cutlet. The portion is big enough to be shared by 2 individuals. Besides for the 'Pork cutlets', they have also listed different kinds of cutlets, e.g. 'Seafood cutlets', 'Chicken Cutlets', etc. If you are hanging out nearby, do give the cutlets over here a good try. :P

大阪の王将さま/ The King of Osaka

最近、シンガポールのあちこちで、たくさん新しい和食店がありますよ。和食レストランとか、喫茶店とか、たくさん新しいし、面白い選択があります。
Recently, there seems to be a great increase in the number of Japanese restaurants. There are new Japanese cafeteria's, all sorts of Japanese restaurants, etc... and some of them looks pretty interesting.

「餃子セット」
ご飯はちょっと粘り過ぎます。Σ(・A ・；)
意外にセットは味噌スープを付けずに、他のスープを付けます。
そのスープと中華料理の「蛋花湯」が大体同じです。
味が美味しいです。
'Gyoza set meal'
The rice is too sticky. ==""
And unlike the normal Japanese set meal that comes with a bowl of
'Miso' soup, the set meal that they are serving over here, comes
with something different. It comes with a bowl of soup that is
pretty much similar to the Chinese soup, 'Egg drop soup'(蛋花湯).
Though this isn't 'miso soup', but it's still pretty delicious.

こちは今日の主役です。
それは油っ濃くないし、美味い餃子です。
しかし、たぶんたくさん材料は入り過ぎて、
だから、少量の餃子の皮が開いていました。
それで、その料理は美しくないと思います。
This would be our main focus of this post, which is the delicious
'Pan-Fried Dumplings'(Japanese Gyoza). One thing to note, would be
the fact that the 'Pan-Fried Dumplings' over here aren't too greasy.
However, probably due to the amount of ingredients that they have
stuffed into the dumplings, some of the dumplings have break open
automatically, which make the appearance of the dumplings to become
slightly much more uglier. :(

「天津飯」
インタネットによると、「天津飯」は、日本生まれの中華料理です。
そのレストランの「天津飯」は、深めの皿に盛ったご飯の上に、
ふわふわ卵を置いて、特別なソースを注いでいます。
その料理の外観とオムライスが大体同じだし、太陽みたいです。
粘るご飯とふわふわ卵とソースが一緒に食べる時、美味いです。
（僕は幼いから、盛ったご飯の上に色々な湯を注いで、
混ぜて食べるのが大好きです。だから、この料理が大好きです。）
'Ten-Shin Han'(天津飯)
According to varies resources on the Internet, this dish was founded
in Japan. Basically the 'Ten-Shin Han' are made up of the following
steps. Taking a bowl of rice and cover it with a fluffy egg and pour
a special sauce over it. The appearance of this dish reminds me of a
omelette rice, which reminds me of the sun, which is beautiful. And
as you started mixing all the ingredients together and pop a mouthful
of ingredients into your mouth, the taste is pretty nice and the egg
is big enough to accompany you to the very last bite. :P
(Ever since I'm a kid, I have the habit of pouring a bowl of soup into
a bowl of rice before finishing everything. Therefore, I don't see a
reason why I shouldn't be giving this dish a try.)

あそこは「Raffles City Shopping Mall」の地下一階の「大阪王将」です。 そのレストランは餃子以外、様々な和食セットもありますよ。 The name of the restaurant would be 'Osaka Ohsho' and it's located on basement 1 of 'Raffles City Shopping Mall'. Besides for the 'Pan-Fried Dumplings', they also serve a large variety of Japanese food/set meals.

太陽みたいな米料理 / Rice Dishes that looks like a Sun

この世界で太陽を食べている人がいません。しかし、皆さん知っていますか？この世界で太陽みたいな料理があります。それは。。。
No one have eaten the sun before. However, do you know that there is a type of rice dish that looks pretty much similar to the sun? And that would be...

ペコリの自家製オムライス（大盛りサイズアップ）
僕はその料理を見た後、第一印象はきれいし、
外観と太陽の様子が大体同じです。
ふわふわ卵がチャーハンみたいな米料理を覆います。
周りのトマトソースが甘過ぎます。
その上、味が美味いし、「卵」と「米」の
バランスは素晴らしいです。
ほんまに美味しいね～～～～～～
その以外無料な涼しい麦茶とシンガポール
の天気が最適です。
'Original Omelette Rice'(Upsize)
My first impression of this dish was beautiful.
The appearance reminds me of the bright and sunny sun.
Below the fluffy omelette egg was a plate of fried rice
and the dish is surrounded with a sweet tomato sauce.
Besides for the delicious taste of the Omelette rice,
the good balance between the omelette egg and the fried
rice are pretty good. In fact, the omelette egg are big
enough to sustain till the end, which is pretty rare.
Either ways, this is pretty delicious dish and I like
it pretty much.
By the way, the ice cold barley tea that comes for free
goes pretty well with the hot and humid weather in Singapore.
