東屋の鍋 / The steamboat at Azmaya

シンガポールに様々な料理があります。その上、四川鍋とか、「中薬」鍋とか、様々な鍋料理もあります。しかし、皆さん、珍しい日本風のカレー鍋とトマト鍋は食べたことがありますか？
You can try various types of food in Singapore. Just for steamboat alone, there's already a very big variety of steamboat soup that one can try. There's like 'Sichuan soup', 'Herbal soup', etc... However, have anyone out there tried 'Japanese Curry soup' or 'Tomato soup' before?

「濃厚カレー鍋放題セート」 厨人はこのカレー鍋にたくさん野菜と豚肉を入れています。 ウェイターはその鍋を卓上電磁調理器の上に置いています。 ５分後、カレーのいい匂いがありますよ。 １５～２０分後、すべての料理を食べられます。 鍋に少し材料を出して、皿に置きます。味がとても美味いですね。 'Thick Japanese Curry Steamboat Buffet' The chef has added lots of pork and vegetables into the pot. And the waiter have place the pot on a mini induction stove. You will be getting a nice curry smell after 5 minutes and you can start digging into the food after 15-20 minutes of waiting. You can slowly scoop out some of the ingredients and add it to your plate and the taste of it is fantastic. :D

実はね、このレストランの優しいウェイターさんは色々なソース を貰います。しかし、柚子ソースよりカレーの味の方が大好きです。 濃厚の質感といい、甘い味といい、素晴らしいカレーですね。 Actually, the nice waiter has also prepared two bowls of sauces for me. However, as compared to the taste of the curry, the taste of the 'Yuzu' sauce isn't fantastic enough. And I really like the thick texture and the nice fragrance and taste of the curry.

そのカレーと飯がよく似合いと思います。とても楽しいです。 あそこの料理が大好きですね。もう一度行きたいです。 そこで、様々な和食以外、お酒とか、ビールとか、 飲み物の選択が多いですね。面白いですね。 And the if you have gone for the 'Curry steamboat', you should really order a bowl of rice too. The curry can really blend with the taste of the curry nicely. In fact, after giving it a first try, I don't might giving it a second shot again. :P By the way, besides serving various types of Japanese food, They also have a wide selection of beverages. There's Japanese Sake, Beer, etc... And the beverages menu looks pretty interesting to me.

レストランの名前は「東屋」です。 住所はシンガポール川の周辺、「Robertson Quay」という道です。 The name of this restaurant would be 'Azmaya'. It's located along 'Robertson Quay', which is beside SIngapore River.

居酒屋・二重丸 / Izakaya - Nijyumaru

先週末、和食を食べたいけど、「Liang Court」というデパートの周りでお祭りがあって、多分人が大勢いるのでしょう。だから、他の場所へ行きました。そして。。。
Last weekend, I sudden;y have the urge of having Japanese food for dinner, but there's a ongoing carnival festival located near 'Liang Court'. Therefore, that area ought to be pretty crowded. Therefore, in order to satisfy my urge, I decided to visit a completely different area and ...

鰻重セート 鰻重セートを食べていました。 僕にとって主食より前菜の方が期待過ぎます。 多分京都で様々な美味い漬物を食べた後、今は様々な前菜が超大好きです。 その上、店によって前菜が全然違って、色々な変化があって、面白いです。いい(≧∇≦)b そこで、前菜が美味過ぎます。つい全部を食べてしまった。Σ(・A ・；) 天婦羅が油濃くないし、カリカリです。（；´Д`）ｽﾊﾞﾗｽｨ ...ﾊｧﾊｧ 'Unajyu Set', which is a box of white rice topped with grilled eel I managed to settle down having a Japanese 'Unajyu Set'. As for my case, it's the side dishes that makes the set meal pretty exciting. Probably it's due to my travels to Kyoto that has broaden my interest for the pickles and all sorts of side dishes, therefore there are numerous situations nowadays that I think that the side dishes are far more delicious. Best of all, the side dishes can varies. Different restaurants will have their own unique type of side dishes, which makes it even much more interesting. XD In fact, the side dishes of this place are so good that I finished it within minutes. By the way, the Tempura are pretty tasty too. It's isn't too oily and all the Tempura are pretty crunchy. :D

以下は今日の重点です。鰻重です。
鰻の匂いをおかずにご飯が大好きです。
新鮮な鰻とご飯を一緒に食べるのが大好きです。且⊂(ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ｳﾏｰ
しかし、鰻の量がちょっと少ないです。足りなかった。
This would be the main focus of the 'Unajyu set'.
I love the rice that are covered with the smell of the grilled eel.
Not forgetting the delicious taste that you are getting when you
have it with the grilled eel and the delicious Japanese rice.
However, the portion of grilled ell that were given will not generous
enough, therefore it can't satisfy all my needs for grilled eel. :(

これは「Cuppage Plaza」というデッパトの二階の居酒屋「二重丸」です。
Izakaya 'Nijyumaru' is located on the 2nd floor of 'Cuppage Plaza'.

注意：

• そこは居酒屋です。だから、天婦羅とか、刺身とか、お酒とか、食べ物と飲物の種類が多すぎます。
• しかし、食事代は家庭食堂より居酒屋の方が高いです。

Notes:

• This is a Izakaya, therefore the menu consists of items like Tempura, Sashima, Sake, etc...
• As compared to a normal Japanese Family Restaurant, the prices of the Izakaya can be slightly a bit more costly.

モツ鍋の初体験／First encounter with a Internal Organs Hotpot

「Mohamed Sultan Road」という道と「Liang Court」というデパートの距離がとても近いです。だから、もし時間があったら、「Liang Court」へ来た後、あそこを通って、ゆっくり歩いて、ぶらぶらして、家に帰りました。たまに、あそこで食事をしていました。以下は先日の晩御飯です。
'Mohamed Sultan Road' is located pretty near 'Liang Court'. Therefore, if time permits, after making a trip to 'Liang Court', I will cut through 'Mohamed Sultan Road' on my way home. And usually when I do that, I would do a bit of window shopping around that area too and once in a while, I will be having a meal or two at that area... The following would be one of the meals I had at that area a few days ago...

'炒モツとキャベツ'
モツの味が新鮮だし、プリプリだし、キャベツがカリカリだし、
美味いでしょう。一瞬で食べ終わりました。
'Fried Internal Organs and Cabbage'
The taste of the internal organs are pretty fresh and chewy,
and the cabbage are pretty crunchy, which makes the overall
experience to be pretty nice. In fact, this dish is so good
that it's gone within minutes.

'出し巻き卵'
全然甘過ぎるけど、味は普通です。
たぶん、もう少し砂糖を加えたほうがいいです。
'Dashimaki Tamago'
This isn't too sweet but the taste is pretty normal.
Probably by adding a bit more Sugar might make it better.

'羽餃子'
形と「煎餅」という中華料理が大体同じです。形が面白いでしょう。
餃子の皮がこりこりけど、味が普通です。
'Ba Gyoza'
The shape of this dish is pretty much similar to the deep
fried pancakes that one can find in a Chinese Dim Sum place.
Though the skin of the Gyoza is pretty crispy, the taste of
it is pretty normal.

'モツ鍋'
これはそのレストランの一番人気の食べ物です。
僕はスープと火鍋が大好きです。だから、モツ鍋を見た時、試したいです。
そこで、牛肉、豚肉、鶏肉、のモツ鍋があります。
スープは特製醤油、味噌、塩、辛味噌の４種類から好みのものを選べます。
'Internal Organs Hotpot'
THis would be the infamous item of this restaurant.
And since I'm a fan of steamboat and Soup, I decided to
give this a try. This restaurant is offering Beef hotpot,
Pork hotpot and Chicken hotpot. As for the soup, they have
4 different types of soup for you to choose from.
There's 'Shoyu', 'Miso', 'Shio' and 'Spicy Miso'.

以上、は毎日限定10食の鶏モツ鍋です。鍋にたくさん野菜があって、
底に鶏モツがあります。素晴らしいですな。
The hotpot that I have shown here would be the 'Chicken Hotpot',
which is limited to 10 servings per day.
The top is covered by all sorts of vegetables and the bottom is
filled with the internal organs of the chicken.

以上は調理した後の様子です。様子はちょっと。。。しかし、味が美味しいです
～～～(ﾟдﾟ)ｳ-(ﾟДﾟ)ﾏｰ(ﾟAﾟ)ｲ-…ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ…ｿﾞｫｫｫｫｫ!!!!
それと中華スープと大体同じです。様々な美味い材料があって、スープも濃過ぎます。
その上、食べ終わる前に、ラーメンを加えるのがおすすめです。
僕たちはラーメンを二回以上を注文していました。ｲﾔ-----(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)-----ﾝ!!!!
（注意：スープを無料に無限加えられます。
その上、あそこで酒の種類も豊富で、特に梅を使ったワインもありますよ。）
This will be a rough idea, how the hotpot will look like
after spending some time cooking. The look might be awful,
the taste is delicious. It's pretty much similar to the
Chinese soup that has a lot of ingredients and a very thick
taste. And I would highly recommend you to go for the extra
ramen noodles to be added to the hotpot, which is pretty
delicious too. In fact, we ended up ordering 2 rounds of
extra noodles. :P
(Note: you can add unlimited rounds of soup for the hotpot
for free. And besides for the food that they are offering
here, they also have a large variety of Sake and Wine too.)

じゃ、モツ鍋はどこで食べられますか？
Well then, where can we have this (Internal Organs Hotpot)?

そのレストランの名前は「Goku　博多もつ鍋 悟喰」です。
The name of the restaurant would be 'Japanese Restaurant Goku'.
