Bacon lovers rejoice !! Oh My Bacon !!

Just when you think Singapore has enough of cafes, many other new ones popped up quietly without you knowing ! Oh My Bacon aka OMB is one of the many cafes that opened in this past two weeks .
It's basically a bacon lovers' haven! 90 % of the food on the menu contains bacon ! Don't say I never tell u .. quite obvious la..

Decor at this one of a kind cafe is excellent!! This is what happens when the co partner who owns a marketing agency is married to a lady who loves to cook. They love bacon and has a great idea..so that's how OMB is born and conceptualized :) The branding is very strong as I can see from the whole outfit to the food they serve :) To me , that is already a good start !

Concept

Check out the whimiscal entrance !!

 It's raining bacon ! 

hahaha..colorful bacons on the ground too..

Be greeted with bright colors and cheery merchandise
Feel free to take pics with those cute cushions!!

 

The Bacon Job! Hahha..get it?
( hint-movie ..The Italian Job :P )

 

The mantra!  Go Live your Dreams!

Passion is Bacon !

 The doodles on the wall are all self drawn by the 

agency staff :)

 

 cosy spacious layout..
not many cafes have the luxury of having a big space

Food

 Meet Jekyll and Hyde
1 -$2.50, 6- $12.50

Pieces of bacon coated with white and dark chocolate !! 

We particularly love the white one ! It is just magical :)
The dark choco one just didn't quite gel with the bacon..leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste . 

Talk about marrying bacon with chocolate! Great pairing !

 

BLT- Bacon love, truly $15
The bottom slice of bun is spread with sweet savoury bacon jam

You can choose between classic, spicy or sweet bacon to go 

with the pita bread . Quite tasty, thou bacon can be a tad tough to chew . 

 

 lurrrving my top shot hhehe.

We also had some bacon and egg cups $12

3 of these one mouth quail's egg wrapped in 

bacon served with rosti. 

I will be back

Friendly staff , spacious bright cafe, gd food concept makes OMB stands out from the rest of the new cafes . I mean I am quite sick of seeing another waffle cafe to be honest.. The place is very instagrammable.. take some time to conceptulise your shots .. I will come back for the Bacon ice cream soon !!

Check out their website! So cute I am sure you will like it too !!

Percolate 2.0 revisit !

Percolate coffee was closed for renovations and expansion works for about 5 weeks. They took over the unit next door and now they are back ! The cafe is now bigger , brighter and has a more extensive menu to boot :D 

 Updated look with a new logo :)

Such contrasting colors~ 

I am definitely loving the new updated look

{ sparkling black } an ice coffee made with sparking water

 ( got a little too bitter when I got to the last 20% of it )

 or have an affogato instead if you like ice cream and esspresso :)

{ Banana Date Loaf } decorated with fruits and spread wtih peanut butter and 

cream for additional taste.. Love this cake and its touches ~ :D 

Such a pretty sight :)

 

Obligatory pouring shot!  :P 

I can't call myself a regular here ..in fact I'm never a regular at any cafes but been here many times given the close proximity to where I stay . Say hi if u see me there next time lol !!

Tomo Izakaya Lunar New Year Menu

Being a Japanese food lover, I can safely count on Tomo Izakaya to satisfy my sushi, sashimi and yakitori food cravings ! Do you know that Tomo in Japanese means "friend' and izakaya translate to " staying in a sake shop" ? Oh yes Tomo has an extensive range of beers and sake to quench your taste.

Come this Lunar New Year festive season, Tomo has specially crafted 3 Japanese -inspired Chinese New Year set menus , offering patrons a different dinning experience. These 3 set menus comes with at least 8 course authentic Japanese dishes which are great for sharing among friends and family :)

The set we had for dinner was the $666 set good for 6-8 pax . The other two sets are priced at $333 ( 4-6pax ) and $888 (8-10 pax) Each set comes with a bottle of Sake . 

Shown here is the Appetizer set that comes with all 3 price sets
Octopus Wasabi, Unagi with cucumber, Deep fried baby river prawns
Edamame and last but not least, Simmered Duck.

Love the presentation..shall give it a 3.5/5

Unagi , however, pity it was a tad dry when we ate it.  Octopus Wasabi is my favorite ! But would like a spicier version..more wasabi would be great ~!The least favorite among these would be the river prawns, quite a fair bit was left on the bowl

Here comes the super eye catching impressive Tower Yu Sheng !!
( avail.for all 3 sets) 

I love the act of tossing Yu Sheng ! But personally I don't quite like 

majority of the sweet plum sauce used in most Yu sheng.  Tomo's version isn't 

overly sweet :) Great for me and you if you are not big on sweet stuff like me ! 

The ingredients are all stacked, layer by layer, to form a tower. 

There is the ameabi on top, tobiko, kanpachi and salmon. Go easy on the sauces and oil
if you prefer a less sinful Yu Sheng :)  4/5

The Tower Yu Sheng can be ordered ala carte. There are 2 sizes
$66 ( 2-4 pax) , $128 ( 6-8 pax)

This Tenderly Braised Pork Soft Rib Bone with
Japanese Rice Cake is part of the $666 & $888 set

This totally suited Alex's palate. The meat was very tender ..
however some of us didn't quite enjoy that layer of mochi .
Quite an interesting mix thou :) 3.9/5

As you can tell by now lighting isn't ideal for photography in the private room 
But it is cozy if you are there with a group of friends :)


This is another dish that is avail.with all 3 set menu
Deep Fried Whole White Meat Fish with Japanese Yuzu sauce.
Not my kind of fish , lacking in flavour and pity the
sauce did nothing to enhance the whole experience either . 2.5/5

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab ..
great if you are a fried food foodie :) 3/5

We called it a night with the Hokkadio Dessert Plate
Can I just that I wish there were more of these!! ? 
Mostly mochi items, each tasted great !! The red bean blended well
with the mochi balls and that matcha ball comes with a soft center ! 4.5/5


 Do take this chance to enjoy these offerings by Tomo :)
Lunar New Year is a time meant to be spent with family and friends .
Enjoy and feast on !!

Have a Merry Momiji Christmas

* Jingle bells , Jingle bells, Jingle all the way * Oh yes, the malls have started airing these jolly good ole christmas tunes way before you can even say Merry Christmas :)

Restaurants and cafes alike have also started rolling out their festive specials just for you foodies this December!

To usher in Christmas, Momiji Japanese Buffet Restaurant has not only Extended their Oyster Festival to 31st Dec 2014, they have also included a spread of goodies to add on to the extensive range of buffet items!

If you have read my earlier review of Momiji Shabu Shabu, you will find that Momiji Japanese Buffet Restaurant is somewhat similar in style :) This is because both comes under the Suki Group  :)


 Momiji Japanese Buffet Restaurant is conveniently located on the 2nd level of Revenue House and it is just a 5 mins walk from Novena MRT station .

 

Get to enjoy oysters cooked 7 ways!

Husband can't help but wanna dig in already!

Here's the Christmas spread that you will get to 

enjoy on top of the buffet line

An overview of all the different types of OYSTERS!

* let's hear you scream! lol! * You can eat as much as you want!

Before I bring out some of the oysters, let's see what are the other delectable items there are in the buffet line :)

I guess some of us would like some cooked food 

I know how some friends can't do without rice ..

Top: Cereal Prawns, Fried Rice
Bottom: Chili Snowcrab!!

* I went straight for the kill..seafood and oysters! *

 

 some selection of the sushi & chawanmushi available

How does one say no to SNOWCRAB!! 

Because I can't!! Had quite a few of these

 

#sweetesthusband He was the one who picked out 

all the crab meat for me.. heapful of it :D 

* I normally skip these* :P

The lure of fresh sashimi

place your order of hot pots and kushiyaki items
by hooking table number tags *found on your table*
to the side metal of desired dish

This got us hooked the whole night! 

Grilled cuttlefish with mentaiko

The chewiness of cuttlefish and bold flavors from 

the mentaiko just makes this a flawless combination
 

Juicy fat oysters drenched in  goma sauce ( sesame sauce )
 The ones in the background are in Japanese apple dressing 

 Mentaiko Oysters ..mentaikio overpower
any unpleasant oyster taste

Lighting at our table wasn't to our advantage  ..
This is the hot plate oysters in spaghetti sauce :)

Some other types of oysters in the line are Panko Oyster , Oyster Shabu Shabu .Oyster Lobster Mayo Yaki..some of which I may not have eaten  :)  

Surely we need some sweet bites to end the evening. There is a waffles making machine for diners to prepare their own waffles! 

All of us were really excited about this and were crowding around the machine taking turns to churn out waffles to our likening ..quite a fun experience ! oh but sure is a messy one too 

Here's one of our waffles topped with 

macadamia nut ice cream and coffee ice cream 

* from Häagen-Dazs no less !! *

If waffles are not your kind of desserts, perhaps you can have some cakes and elcairs 


Gobbled a few of these chocolate eclairs 

 Great variety for fruit lovers


It is truly an affordable buffet line to indulge in given the pricing !

Thanks to Momiji and Jaslyn for the invite :)
