Wabafat and Nekal turn 19!

// October 5th, 2009 // Life, Reviews

Wow. I should really have done this post long time ago but I happened to be caught up with other stuff. Anyway, it was the 19th birthday of both Jia Jin and Sin Chyuan on the 19th and 20th of September. Since both of them wanted to Japanese cuisine and something unique, we decided to celebrate it at Shokodu (Streets of Japan) at Heeren since both of them desired Japanase Cusine. If I wasn’t mistaken, there is another branch at Raffles City and the one at Heeren is relatively newer.

The place is located at the basement of Heeren and with its bright glowing neon lights, you can probably spot it at one glance.

The dining style of this restaurant like similar to Marche, where you receive a card and you go around shopping with that card. At the end of the day, head on to the cashier and the chasier will charge you according to how much you spent with your dining card.

Here’s a look at what we’ve eaten at Shokodu.

Myself and my dishes for the day.

I had chicken chop and the egg fried rice and an extra plate of Rosti for extra carbo and fats. The chicken chop was tasty but honestly speaking, it tasted just like any other chicken chop that I have tasted. Maybe because the chefs were grilling the chicken in bulk or they just simply tasted normal. As for the rosti, it was good too. But if you compare it to its Marche counterpart, Marche gets the crown hands down. The Shokodu rosti here feels soggy whereas the rosti in Marche has a cripsy feel to every single bite. As for my drink, the milk tea that Douglas was advertising in his photo. Please get yourself a bottle next time you go to Shokodu. It is just simply heavenly. And not sure if it applies to you but it reminds me of my childhood when I was in Taiwan. My cousins and I would always sneak out of house late at night and run to the shop across to buy a packet of milk tea to keep ourselves awake. So the verdict is, next time if you go Shokodu, don’t bother getting the Western stuff as you’re probably be better off dining at another Western restaurant. Well for their Japanese food, I heard they are pretty good. So yeah, try their Japanese food next time instead. And yes, please get that bottle of milk tea!

That’s about it, folks.

Laters!
