Shokudo Japanese Coffee House @ Bugis Junction

I wonder why the restaurant is called coffee house when it has a wide menu selections ranging from Japanese Western grills, burgers, pasta, pizza, Japanese curry rice, udon, sushi rolls and dessert? Anyway, I met up with my friends and we wanted to have dinner at Nando's. There was a long queue and we were too hungry to wait hence we walked over to Shokudo.

We ordered a main each and a pizza to share. Both the grilled chicken and tonkatsu curry omu rice were nice. It had a runny scrambled egg covering the rice. The Japanese curry was served separately and you can add it to your own preference. A very enjoyable dish with the rice, egg and curry sauce coming together.

Blanco Court Fish Bee Hoon. Fried Fish Soup @ Beach Road

Is this the original Blanco Court Fish Bee Hoon, Fried Fish Soup? No matter what this is the definitely one of the best I have eaten. My colleague brought me here for lunch after our conference at MBS. It is located along Beach Road at an old 80's setting coffeeshop at the corner of Aliwal Street. A queue was already formed when we reached the stall. We waited for about half an hour but it was worthwhile.

We ordered both the fried fish bee hoon and fried fish soup. The soup was thick and tasty with the sweetness of anchovies. One sip of the soup and I knew I am won over. The fish was also very fresh. One bite into the fried fish and how the fish meat broken down, we can tell the fish was freshly prepared on the day instead of using frozen fish meat.

What wows me more was the used of spinach and deep fried egg in the fish soup. The generous serving of spinach gave a good balance to the heavy flavouring of the soup. The fried egg was a surprise to me and my first having it for fish soup. It was a mouth drooling meal having different flavours coming together in an excellent bowl of fish soup.

Fried Fish Soup with Bee Hoon 4.8/5

To get here. The easiest way is to alight at Nicoll Highway MRT station. Follow the overhead walkway and it will bring you directly to Beach Road cutting across The Concourse building.

Alternative, you can alight at Bugis MRT station but the walk is a bit longer but you can do some sightseeing at Arab Street.
