Teppei Syokudo (Takashimaya)

Went to Teppei Syokudo at Takashimaya which provides only take-aways. I heard a lot of good reviews about it so I brought Ed with me to try.

Kaisendon "Bara Chirashi" ($16)- Big chunks of marinated raw fish with sushi rice. The marinate was not really to my liking as it was too salty. What I did like was the texture of the fish which was firmer than your usual sashimi (most likely cause of the marinate). I was kinda disappointed about it. For me, non marinated raw fish is better or maybe a less salty marinate.

Idealite

Went to dine at Idealite with gf cause gf likes to eat healthy. 

Here they focus on providing vegetarian food that is healthy, nutritious and tasty at the same time. Say good bye to your usual vegetarian food that is sometimes more harmful then non vegetarian food.

They had a new item on the menu which was this steamboat which comes with a bowl of brown rice. 3 different soup base to choose from which I cant remember. I had the Pumpkin Miso soup (Around $15 plus) Creamy pumpkin with the slightly nutty and umami taste of the miso went very well together. The soup had enoki mushroom, tofu, seaweed, pumpkin, carrot, oyster mushroom, cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, red cabbage and some green leafy vegetable. Love the green leafy vegetable the most as it had soaked up the soup while dislike the pumpkin and carrot which were still hard. 

Provence Tempura Mushroom ($7.90)- Fresh eryngii mushroom with high protein, vitamin B and minerals. Sprinkled with Provencal spices. Whatever those Provencal spices are, they sure are flavorful and sort of addictive. This is definitely a must try dish when you go there! 

Also from now till 15 April if you go to their facebook page and screenshot this post you can get a free dessert.
