AMAZING
1st FAMILY PLATE 家庭套餐
Loy Kee Best Chicken Rice, Singapore
Quite easily what I anticipate will be the most satisfying meal I will have had this week. The rice was out of this world.
2nd COURSE #2
田Magic Square, Singapore
Salad of fermented tapioca pearls, sambal sago, clam, & pickled cucumber. Flavor bomb + medley of textures. Best dish. 🥇
3rd COURSE #8
田Magic Square, Singapore
Pear miso sorbet in Tieguanyin kombucha and olive oil. This was clean-tasting and really refreshing.
REALLY GOOD
4th 排骨乾拌滷肉麵 DRIED BRAISED PORK KNIFE SHAVED NOODLE WITH PORK CHOP
Si Si Nan Cun 四四南村 Plaza Arkadia, Kuala Lumpur
A wholesome dinner to end the day and that pork chop (with the chile) was really unexpectedly delicious!
5th SET MENU GARLIC KATSU
Kimukatsu, Singapore
Served with rice, miso soup, fresh cabbage and pickles. I got a cuppa matcha 🍵 to go with brief: “THE SECRET TO OUR POPULARITY IS THE COMBINATION OF A CRISPY, TEXTURE-RICH BATTER SURROUNDING A JUICY FLAVORFUL 25-LAYERED SELECTED PORK CUTLET. WE SELECT ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY PORK, WHICH IS THINLY SLICED AND STACKED INTO 25 LAYERS. THIS LAYERED CUTLET IS COVERED WITH FRESH BREADCRUMBS AND FRIED SLOWLY IN LOW TEMPERATURE FOR 8 MINUTES. IT IS THEN SET VERTICALLY FOR TWO MINUTES TO STEAM, ALLOWING THE HEAT TO SPREAD EVENLY INSIDE. THIS IS ALL A PART OF OUR ORIGINAL RECIPE AND PROCESS, WHICH HELPS TO BRING FORTH THE MAXIMUM TASTE. ALL THE NATURAL JUICES ARE KEPT INSIDE BETWEEN THE LAYERS AND CRISPY BATTER, MAKING KIMUKATSU LIGHT AND FLUFFY, YET EXTREMELY JUICY AND FLAVORFUL. ONLY THE TOP KOSHIHIKARI RICE GRAIN FROM NIIGATA IS BEING USED IN OUR RESTAURANT. USING SPECIALISED RICE COOKER, EACH GRAIN IS CAREFULLY WASHED, SOAKED IN WATER FOR HOURS BEFORE COOKING TO PRODUCE THE BEST OF JAPANESE RICE. IT IS THEN SERVED IN OHITSU, A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE WOODEN RICE BUCKET, TO KEEP THE RICE WARM & TASTY.” SOOT’S TAKE: No wonder it took 20 minutes to prepare the katsu! Still, that wasn’t what impressed me the most. It was the rice. The rice was out of this world good and I could already tell the moment I uncovered the rice bucket. My first mouthful was revelatory, the same way it was when I had Hom Mali rice at the last Thai restaurant I dined at. The rice made everything taste better than if each element had been eaten by itself.
6th RECESSION SPECIAL
Gray's Papaya, New York
Papaya shake + 2 franks in the Big Apple for “when you’re hungry, or broke, or just in a hurry!” Apparently the Recession Special has been running for over 35 years.
7th COFFEE MEET TART
Tokyo Secret @ Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur
Iced latte + Cheese Tart seemed an unbelievable deal at RM 16.
8th REGULAR POPCORN COMBO
Shaw Theatres Lido, Singapore
Imma watch Barbie! Been 4 years since I was at the movie theater 🍿🎥
9th GROWN-UP GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH GRUYÈRE AND CHIVES & ULTIMATE CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP

10th 黄妈妈海南咖喱鸡腿套餐 MAMA WEE CURRY CHICKEN DRUMSTICK SET

From the NEWSPAPER HAINANESE CURRY RICE stall. A tasty and substantial meal.
11th 自制椰糖咖椰牛油 HOMEMADE GULA MELAKA KAYA & BUTTER HAINANESE TOAST SET
The Hainan Story, Singapore
From the 海南寶 stall: Gula Melaka kaya + a mini slab of butter on shokupan-like, (not terribly) toast-y bread. + soft boiled egg and teh (tea + condensed milk) of course, but the toast was the standout portion.
12th TRIPLE CHEESE PRIME HAMBURG SET
Hamburg Steak Keisuke, Singapore
180 g of beef parts containing molten cheese of cheddar, mozzarella and Parmesan fried ebi, fried beancurd and tofu. Chose to have it with their demi-glacé sauce.

Yam gnocchi in a buttermilk sauce with kuchai oil and leeks, topped with yam chips.
14th COURSE #7
田Magic Square, Singapore
Jerusalem artichoke with umeboshi atop a bed of short-grain rice that would be served over a thing of cured yolk.
15th COURSE #9
田Magic Square, Singapore
Ginger cake soaked in sake and thyme syrup. This was lovely (not overpowering) and it paired very well with the accompanying coconut coffee which tasted like a light roast and (believe it or not), which I actually liked!
PRETTY GOOD
16th DOUBLE CALIFORNIA CLASSIC COMBO
Carl's Jr, Singapore
For under $10 not a bad a deal for a solid burger, decent 🍟 and a drink.
17th COFFEE & CROISSANT SET
Café Brera at Reunion, Singapore
Post-lunch snack. Everything was fairly well-made.
18th THE KIDS COMBO
Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, Champaign
BRIEF: “2 Chicken Fingers, Crinkle-Cut Fries, One Cane's Sauce, Kid's Size Drink.” SOOT’S TAKE: I wanted a snack-sized meal. Got their lemonade in my kid cup which was good while their chicken tenders were decent but not necessarily great.
19th ENDLESS CHOWDER, SALAD & CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS®
Red Lobster, Champaign
Lobster Bisque (310 Cal) Caesar Salad (300 Cal) Cheddar Bay Biscuits® (160 Cal each) All refillable at $9.99 (+ an extra $2 if you opt for lobster bisque over clam chowder.)
20th BUTTER CHICKEN WITH JALFREZI
SQ 222, Sydney  - Singapore
Passable main but the salad was better than I expected.
21st BLACK VINEGAR CHICKEN SET 黒酢のチキン野菜和え定食
Yonehachi, Singapore
I’d been eyeing and wondering about and…eyeing and wondering about this stall for years for their intriguingly wholesome-looking sticky rice (okowa) but never took the plunge until today. VERDICT: The rice was as good as I wanted it to be (I got the chestnut okowa because I love ❤️ LOVE chestnuts) and I wish I could have had more than the meager serving allotted to me. The black vinegar chicken was nice and it went well with the rice. But the miso broth + cabbage salad tasted like lazy afterthoughts. For that and for still leaving me hungry after blowing ~$20 on lunch, I don’t think I’ll be back for more. Pickle was good though.
22nd FRENCH FRIES (M) & HOT FUDGE SUNDAE
McDonald's Metropolis, Singapore
It just felt like I could stuff myself with more junk food today for $2 if I could help it.
23rd HAWAIIAN POKÉ COMBO MEAL
Pink Fish - Jewel Changi, Singapore
This fast-casual chain serves Norwegian salmon in all their mains (except maybe their cod nuggets). Also comes with a therapeutic view of cascading 💦.
24th MINI TEMPURA DON VALUE SET ミ二天丼バリユ一セツト一
Shimbashi Soba, Singapore
There was nothing mini about this. I was stuffed before I could finish the tempura don!
25th TANDOORI CORNER CHEF’S SPECIALTY VEGETARIAN SET MEAL
Cafe on the Ridge, Singapore
“Aloo gobi, dal makhani, boondi raita and tandoori papad, served with naan.” A satisfying meal.

Salmon Steak glazed with Honey and Peppercorn, Wild Broccoli and Rissole Potatoes
28th WAGYU BEEF HOTPLATE RICE SET 铁板和牛饭套餐
