Soup Stock Tokyo at Asia Square Tower 2

-
With the numerous soup stores that can be found in the CBD, one would actually wonder if there's still room for more. True, take my office street for example, you don't have to walk far to come across 3 soup restaurants with a never-ending queue in front during lunch hour. The funny thing is, these 3 shops sell the same herbal, Chinese-y soup that my Kongkong would make for us as these are packed with all the nutrients to keep us healthy forever and ever.

So, when my friend T invited me to have lunch at the newly opened Soup Stock Tokyo at our favorite lunch place destination -- Asia Square Tower 2, I really didn't thought much about it at first as I had a feeling it was just one of those many soup places in the area with a fancier name that is. Little did I know that Soup Stock Tokyo originated from Japan since 1999. In fact, this branch in Singapore is their first overseas. WOW!

The menu was quite straightforward but not boring at all. Each week, they have a new line-up of soups which is a mix from their Standard and Premium line, porridge and two Japanese curry rice meals too. To make things easier for the lunch crowd they also have created sets too! I got the Half and Half Set (S$11.80) that consists of 2 small bowls and a choice of Japanese Rice or Bread too. Of course, I went for the rice option. You can also opt to get the Regular Standard Set or the Regular Premium Set which will give you a bigger bowl of soup with rice.

That day, I chose Hokkaido Crab Bisque and 4-Mushroom Potage soups. I really love eating Japanese rice and somehow it tastes really good when I have it with soup. Yum yum!

The Hokkaido Crab Bisque is part of the premium line-up. Rich and creamy, this soup makes use of crab stock simmered with tomatoes and herbs too. It was good but as I'm not a fan of rich tomato soups, it was just a-okay for me.  I'm pretty sure Paul would love this kind of soup though.

I then moved on to my second soup which was the 4-Mushroom Potage. If you love mushrooms as much as I do, then I highly recommend this to you. I really enjoyed this soup as I can taste the earthy flavors of the mushroom. Just to tell you how good it was, I began thinking about it just hours after lunch and was so excited for my next return to Soup Stock Tokyo.

How I wish that Soup Stock Tokyo would consider openign more store all over Singapore. For now, be sure to head over to Asia Square Tower 2 for a delicious Japanese soup lunch!

Soup Stock Tokyo is located at Asia Square Tower 2 Food Garden, #02-05, 12 Marina View in Singapore. They are open from Mondays to Friday at 830AM to 9PM. Visit their Facebook page to their the weekly menu line-up.

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...
