When I brought Sam with me for a birthday buffet at Kuishin Bo, he was mentioning to me about this catchy jingle by Kuishin Bo. Since I have not heard about Kuishin Bo before, I had no idea that they existed for over 10 years in Singapore since 2001. In 2002, they had a catchy TV commercial which features their very own jingle that goes, ‘Dong Dong Dong 1,2,3, We are Kuishin Bo”. This form of marketing strategy is really effective because now when I think of a Japanese Buffet restaurant, I will think of Kuishin Bo. Guess what? They offer more than 150 varieties of food!

Rakuzen: A Japanese Restaurant that serves decent food at reasonable prices
Thanks to an event which I’ve attended at Millenia Walk, I received some Rakuzen Dining vouchers which allowed me to dine at this restaurant for the past couple of months. Unlike other restaurants in this mall, Rakuzen did not receive much attention or publicity from the masses. So we thought that their food was mostly not up to standard. However, we were proven wrong after making three visits to Rakuzen. Rakuzen Though their food isn’t over the top fantastic, their food quality and taste are generally quite good. For the price you are paying for a meal at Rakuzen, the food is considered to be decent. Service is prompt and…

Teppan Kappou Kenji: This Japanese Chef’s creations will make your jaw drop
Teppan Kappou Kenji is the new addition of restaurants to the rows of the Japanese and Korean restaurants along Tanjong Pagar Road. Based on its exterior, it looks just like any other Japanese restaurants. I went into the restaurant without any expectations at all. In fact, I was hinking that their food might be on par if not slightly better with other Japanese restaurants. Surprisingly, who knew that it turned out to be one of my current favourite restaurants? ‘Looks can be deceiving’ Their minimalistic interior features simple wooden furnishings against the dark grey stone wall. The restaurant adopts the open-kitchen concept with a counter seating area for customers to…

Christmas with Gokoku Japanese Bakery
Gokoku Japanese Bakery has just launched their cute festive custard buns along with their festive Christmas log cakes. Their Japanese bun creations have always been the talk of the town because they are usually too cure to be eaten. Festive Christmas Buns – Reindeer, Snowman and Christmas Tree These 3 festive custard buns are filled with Gokoku’s homemade custard cream. Comparatively, out of the three, the Christmas tree bun has the most custard filling in it. As for the snowman bun, only its ‘tummy’ is filled with the creamy yellow custard. The buns are quite delicious and I particularly like the reindeer bun. Gokoku Christmas Log cakes ($32.90 each) There are…
