Dumpling Time, San Francisco

I read about this place and decided to give it a try with a bunch of hungry family members. We tried many of their dishes, some hits, some misses.

Lunch At Canton Paradise

One fine day sometime ago, a bunch of us had dim sum lunch at Canton Paradise in Marina Bay Shoppe. The food were all good and we were very pleased with what we ordered.

Kyoto Masutani Ramen

More ramen in Kyoto. There are many inviting ones and we finally picked one at Kyoto ramen street again and they are delicious.

Lunch at Lokkee

We had lunch with these loved ones and family members. 😉 We enjoyed the food although we did not particularly like where we were seated. The fried rice with crab meat was particularly delicious.

Ramen Todai

We took train to Kyoto from Osaka, to stay there and enjoy what Kyoto had, for a few days. Precisely what we did, after arriving and checking in into our hotel in Kyoto, was looking for great ramen for lunch. Ramen Kyoto street was just steps away from where we were, right at the Kyoto station, up on the 10th floor. There are eight ramen shops from various places in Japan and we had to pick one.

This restaurant is from Tokushima prefecture on Shikoku island. They serve ramen that I never had before, so I was really curious in trying them for the first time. We also ordered a plate of gyoza.We simply love them. More about this place is here. 

Sushizanmai, Osaka, Lunch

This was the lunch that we had when we got back to Osaka. We knew ahead of time that we were going to have sushi from the same restaurant chain we love in Tsukiji, Tokyo. They were delicious and very satisfying.

Kani Doraku Lunch, Osaka

After walking along Shinsaibashi, we arrived at Dotonbori area. We had a place in mind for lunch, a place that specializes in crabs. We were eager to try, it was our first time dining there. We tried many different dishes, all were with crabs, and enjoyed the experience. So much crab for one meal, even for one day.

Imperial Yi Dian Xin, Singapore

I read the menu and I saw the pictures, I really had to order and taste these Porcupine Buns. I know  they are deep fried, but my curiosity beat every other considerations possible. We did not order much, it was a light lunch.

Siew Mai

Shrimp Wanton Soup

Anzu, Japan Food Town, Singapore

This is one of the restaurants that we love to go back to again and again. The quality of food and service have been consistently great and this is simply what we look for. We tend to order the same thing, DH with his prawn and pork cutlets and my order is pork fillet katsu. We love having it with their superb brown rice.

Bene, Sand Cotai Central, Macau

My partner in crime wanted to have Italian for lunch, so we found one in the neighborhood where we were. The concierge of the mall actually directed us to the only Italian tratorria nearby. 

We ordered calamari for starter, pear salad and spaghetti carbonara that was outrageously super creamy. I love that crispy bread so much that I munched a lot of them while waiting for the food. I think, aside from the crispy bread, I only appreciate the salad.
