Nando's & Ichiban Sushi - Dinner w/Jaslyn

Met up with Jaslyn twice in a week. Mid-week, we went Nando's at LOT1 cos there's no queue at 6.30pm, which is quite unusual.Most of the time it's already packed! 







Few types of sauces are available if you find your choice spicy enough!

erm.. can't remember what are the drinks we ordered =D

We shared a portion of Chicken Livers And Portuguese Roll. Not sure how well Jaslyn can take the spiciness level, we choose this to be in Mild spicy. 




Chicken Liver is very tender. Peri-Peri sauce (Mild) is a little sour rather than spicy, but it taste pretty good. Portuguese Roll is super soft & it goes well when dipped into the Peri-Peri sauce

Both of us had the 1/2 Chicken with 2 regular sides/ 1 fino side


I had mine with corn on crop & wedges with Extra Hot sauce!


Chicken is very tender but the extra hot sauce is still not very spicy for me as the sauce is only spread on the outer of the chicken. Chicken meat on it's own is not spicy =D


Jaslyn had it with garlic bread & wedges with Hot sauce


Apart from the sauces on the chicken, we also tried the garlic peri-peri & wild herd peri-peri for the wedges. Garlic one is a tad too salty for my liking, so I prefer the wild herd which a tad sour & spicy



Honestly, I was expecting half a corn, but it turned out to be a full sized corn, so gotta slowly get the corn out with fork & knife =D






tada~~ success! but sadly, the corn is a little bland

Staffs here are pretty attentive & friendly, so we won't mind coming back again 

=======================================================================

Towards the end of the week, we met up again & decided on Ichiban Sushi







I had the Salmon Mentai Set


While Jaslyn had the Seafood Set


Cereal Tori Karrage 

While the food taste pretty much a norm, the service has rooms for improvement. My order of coke actually took close to 15 mins to be served. 

To make the dining experience worst, the family of 3 seated behind us seems engaged in a heated argument. The mum was raising her voice (or rather, screaming her lungs out) in Japanese while the 2 kids are also raising their voice at her in English. The mum was also banging the table at times. The "drama" lasted for a while of 35 mins! OMG... this was the very first time we both gobble down our food & left almost immediately as soon as we finish our food. I wonder why none of the staff told them to lower their volume! Hopefully the next time we dine there, we won't meet the family again!

Janice's Birthday @ Sumire笑

Oh Hi! We're back at Sumire笑 again! Today we're back to celebrate Janice's birthday















As usual, a complimentary portion of Cabbage Shiodara is being served upon seated. This is to be eaten in-between dishes




Upon placing your order, the staff immediately puts the skewers onto the grill.



Aburi Shime Saba is torched on the spot when you place a order for it. I just realized that I didn't try this as I was typing away now!


Salmon & Hamachi sashimi are very fresh & sweet




Avo Mentai Potato Salad is yummy


Daikon Tower is a must-order! Thick radish were stacked up and topped with bonito flakes. Also served with chikuwa and konjac. Superb dish!



Pork Belly with grated radish & ponzu sauce (above) & Pork Belly Shio is not fantastic. It's neither crispy nor "fat"




Spicy Tori Ramen. 

Asparagus Bacon in both soy sauce garlic butter & teriyaki sauce. Personally I perfer the one with teriyaki sauce


King Liver (chicken) in sesame oil & chili padi is very good! Soft liver & the dressing is nice!


Anago Nigiri. This is better than the one at Itcaho!


Tori Karrage - soft & crispy


Chicken Shoulder


Tsukimi Tsukune (Men) with raw egg. First time eating chicken meatball with raw egg. The meatball is a little soft for my liking, but it taste pretty good with the raw egg!


Enoki Bacon


Bacon Quail Eggs


Corn for Sam


Ika Teriyaki


Oyster Mushroom


Chicken Soft bone which is crispy


Chicken Skin in both salt & teriyaki sauce. The one with teriyaki sauce taste better but less crispier



King Prawn Mentai. Today's prawn is slightly smaller & not as well done as the one we had a week ago

Chicken Heart


Chicken with Leek


and lastly, Bacon Tomato

We were a little too ambitious this time & were full to the brim! 


After the dinner, Fiona brought out the Strawberry Shortcake which she bought from Paris Baguette


Birthday girl, Janice - Happy Birthday!



Then we walked over to Bugis+ cos Fiona is craving for ice cream!

Once again... ...  Happy Birthday Janice! May you be free from all the nonsense soon =)
