Food, Culture, Fun!

Today was the best day ever! There are some food experiences that you will never forget and this is one of them.

An INDIAN breakfast, JAPANESE lunch, ARAB dinner, CHINESE dessert! What more can I ask for? A foodie that I 've become!

SAKAE SUSHI:   -  ★★★★✩
If you have love for Sushi then Sakae Sushi will fufil your desire. If someone is writing a review about the restaurant am sure they would write about the Sushi. Yet I write about the vegetarian meal I devoured (vegetarian that I am) . That's what makes it different!An Authentic , traditional Japanese food served in Japanese style and vegetarian!

Pavin suggested the heavily seasoned Veg fried Rice which is so far the yummiest I have ever tasted! She ordered a set meal which was accompanied by soup (also consumed by me) and salad( me again!) . The rice is seriously to die for! Its the texture or taste ,I cant tell.. Simply lipsmacking! Also the food looks pretty in the traditional bowls and plates .The salad - Super tasty, saltish and dipped in vinegar. The soup had some herbs in it and smelt heavenly!

Delicious and price? Amazingly cheap!

SHEIKH AL ARAB:    -  ★★★★✩
Evening after work we made a plan impromptu ,to visit the Arab Street! We have a new Korean colleague who is new to Singapore and we wanted to play the" good hosts". And so 4 of us marched towards Arab Street to an Arab restaurant to introduce her to the food and Sheesha! A place to pig out on middle eastern cuisine.

 A Chinese, a Korean, a Malay and an Indian in an Arab Restaurant! I like the sound of that! SO multicultural! The Arab ambience and decor felt good after a hard days work( also felt like a weekend at the mid week!) And so we sat on floor on carpets with the interior of the restaurant just like something out of the Arabian nights stories. In the background was soft Arabic music.
We ordered a lot among which my order was the below:
Iced mint tea  - I have only one word to describe this- heavenly
Hummus - a dip accompanied by Pita bread(made of chickpeas)
Peta bread - similar to nan in India , but tastier and softer in texture
Salad ( name cannot remember now )

Je Di Chi: ★★★★✩
After a heavy dinner and sheesha, we headed back home and at 10:30 pm we felt the need for dessert to complete our meal! And so we walked to a Chinese Dessert place " Je De Chi" which means Dont forget to eat in chinese .

We order somethin Singapore is (in)famous for! Durian dessert! Durian with Pomelo Sago Dessert! Well, the taste of Durian was not that strong and it was my first time. Yet I would say its not as bad as people make it sound! A wonderful experience. Atleast I had the courage to try it! Honestly , it tasted like Jackfruit to me only with a little stronger favour minus the sweetness plus the stink.

And to cover up  the taste ( or shall i say foul smell and bad breath ) we ordered dessert #2! Heart Snowy ice-Green Tea Flavour with topping  of red beans, mini rice ballsand green sauce. Ooh la la! It certainly helped both, our apetite and the smell .
