Yaki Yaki Bo Teppanyaki at Jurong Point

-
Every weekend, Paul and I have been trying to expand our radius by travelling farther than the usual towards the different areas in Singapore. One weekend, we went North West to visit a friend in Punggol, another time we went up north in Ang Mo Kio and a few weeks back we went back to the West in Boon Lay. Since Singapore's subway and bus systems, I can say, are pretty much the best in the region, it's really easy to go from one point to another all over the country.

So anyway, one evening we found ourselves at Jurong Point, a mall adjacent to the bus terminal and MRT station in Boon Lay. It was for an impromptu dinner meet-up with friends N, T and O. Luckily, N and T are such foodies too so they took care of deciding where to eat. After a couple of blog hops, our dinner venue was at Yaki Yaki Bo Teppanyaki which was part of the mall's Japanese Food Street. Operated by the same group who owns Ichiban Sushi and Ichiban Boshi, Yaki Yaki Bo offers reasonably priced Japanese dishes too.

It has been a while since we had teppanyaki and boy was I so excited! I really love dining teppanyaki-style but most of the Japanese teppanyaki restaurants here and even back in Manila are quite pricey. Definitely not a place that we can frequent even on a weekly basis. So, imagine how excited I was as I was going through Yaki Yaki Bo's menu.

It's just perfect that they gave us a teppanyaki table, which made our dining experience even better. It was indeed like a culinary show as we watched the chef perform while creating our orders. Here are the raw salmon and beef for N and T's Beef & Seafood Set (S$28.90).

For some odd reason, I was craving for oysters that time so I got the Kaki Teppan (S$10.90) which was a plate of plump, fresh oysters cooked on the teppanyaki grill. It was lightly seasoned thus you can really taste the full flavor of the oysters.

To go with it, we got the Salmon Sashimi Rice Set (S$7.50). I love Ichiban's salmon sashimi and Yaki Yaki Bo's version didn't disappoint as well. Fresh, perfect bite and really addicting. How I wish I can have a bigger platter with a dozen slices of these yummy salmon sashimi. This set comes with Miso Soup and Fruits too.

Of course, what's a teppanyaki dinner without Okonomiyaki. I'm really a fan of these Japanese omelette filled with cabbage, carrots and your choice of meat or seafood.

This time, we got the Hotate Okonomiyaki (S$12.90) which was a really big serving of okonomiyaki and topped with chewy pieces of scallops. I have to admit though that the okonomiyaki was a tad thinner than usual. It would have been perfect if the scallops were incorporated inside but I just had to remind myself that for the price, this was pretty good already.

Each set also comes with a plate of complimentary Yasai Itame (beansprouts) which I liked! I just noticed that it was somehow missing the buttery taste very common in other teppanyaki restaurants.

N and T also got the Hotate Fried Rice (S$5.90) which seems to be very good!

Yaki Yaki Bo is a great choice for a casual teppanyaki meal with very reasonable price. How I wish they'd add more branches to cater especially for those who lives at the other side of the country.

Yaki Yaki Bo is located at Jurong Point, #B1-52, Singapore. Nearest MRT station is Boon Lay. Call them at 6792-0583.

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...
