Ramen Keisuke Tori King at 100AM, Tanjong Pagar

-
A lot of happy changes in both my personal and professional lives happened as soon as the 2nd half of 2014 rolled in and it has just been 10 days since. Call it good feng shui but I'd like to think that all these blessings have something to do with our moving to a new office. True, saying goodbye is never easy but I am the kind who try my darnest to welcome change with open arms.

So, on our first week at the new office, we began exploring for new food finds. Our first stop was over at 100AM where we found Ramen Keisuke Tori King. We're all no strangers to the Keisuke line of ramen shops. I've mentioned a number of times how much I love the Ramen Kaisuke Four Seasons in Bugis and when my colleague R mentioned that Chef Keisuke Takeda has opened a chicken broth ramen that's just a stone's throw away from our new office, our lunch group gamely went to try it out.

I got to admit though that as we were standing outside and waiting for our table to be ready, I had no clue how the ramen will be presented. In my mind it was just chicken broth with the usual ramen noodles, ajitama egg, seaweed and chasiu pork. It was only when I saw the menu that I realized that each bowl comes with a quarter-sized chicken leg too. The menu had only 4 choices: Tori King Ramen (S$11.90), Black Spicy Tori King Ramen (S$12.90), Green Spicy (Wasabi) Tori King Ramen (S$12.90) and Tori King Special -- Tan Tan Mien (S$13.90). They also have a kids meal (S$7.90) for the little ones.

I went for the Tori King Ramen with all the 3 main toppings -- Seaweed, Ajitama Egg and Chasiu Pork for an additional S$4.

As we were waiting for our orders, I was worried a bit as visions of pulling and struggling with the chicken meat came to mind. For extra measures, I requested for a fork just in case. Our bowls of ramen came shortly and I noticed that they have grilled the chicken. I tried a piece of chicken meat and was so surprised at how easily the meat fell off the bone. It was so tender that you can definitely manage to enjoy this regardless if it's soaked in your bowl of ramen or placed separately on a plate like mine. The chicken and the ramen alone is enough to fill you up. I somehow regret getting the pork chasiu as I ended up so full that I couldn't eat all the noodles anymore. The soup was a bit too salty also for my taste so I will make sure to choose light on my next visit. Nonetheless, it was the tender grilled chicken that won my heart that day.

D and I also love the complimentary spicy beansprout that you can help yourselves with and enjoy with your ramen. It has a strong sesame oil flavor that makes it so yummy!

Well, this was indeed a good discovery and I'm pretty sure we will be frequenting Ramen Keisuke Tori King in the months and years to come.

Check out Ramen Keisuke Tori King at the 3rd level of 100AM, 100 Tras Street, Singapore. It's the mall adjacent to Amara Hotel. (MRT: Tanjong Pagar)

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
