Ohsumi Japanese Restaurant

Missy's take on Ohsumi Japanese Restaurant

Tian Wai Tian Fishhead Steamboat (1st Jan 2009)

The shop

the order taker
This lady is a super and slow lady... why? cause other than taking orders, she is busy preparing the ingredients for the cooks. So the order taking can be about 30 mins from the moment you join the queue. Not to be put off with this waiting time... cause most likely you have to wait that long for a table to be emptied... esp during their peak hours.

the soup pot
This is the soup that goes into their fish head steamboat.... I can see alot of chicken feet floating on the surface of the pot... do not be put off by it! cause the soup is extremely delicious!!! (I like it) The soup are slowly boiled with charcoal... I wish i had that sort of patience to do it that way at home.

Red Groupa fish head steamboat
The yummmy fish head steamboat....

Look they even put charcoal into each steamboat, so the soup can be keep at the same temperture it left the kitchen... *yummy* Personally I am not much of a soup ingredient person... IF given the choice, I will just drink the soup and left the rest aside.


Shrimp paste Chicken wings
This is one of the better shrimp paste chicken wings I ever had... though we had one which is undercooked, but on the whole, this dish is well worth the price we paid.

Tofu with Prawn
it's a no no for me... I do not know how to explain why i do not like this dish... though I do like prawns and Japanese tofu... but this wasn't prepared to my liking...


Sweet and Sour pork ribs
This is one of the better pork ribs i ever had... I just labelled this as pork ribs, but it's more like they had used the pork chop type of meat... and the meat is tenderly firm. I think I had polished almost half of this dish by myself.

my bowl of rice
I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove rice.... And with my rice soaked with the soup from my fishhead steamboat...... I am happy.

Our bill?
One thing that really amaze the hell out of me is our bill.... Can anyone actually read this handwriting... and i tot my doc has bad handwriting... this is worse than drawing a tailsman... trust me I seen plenty of ppl doing a tailsman... and this is definitely a higher level than that.

a few of their customers.... @ the back alley...




I love a good steamboat in all styles.... this is definitely a place I had enjoyed with my family. It might be noisey, crowded and having long Q, but the charms of eating besides a drain, trying to get a table, lining up for our orders, getting a extremely artistic bill are just beyond my powers to resist. Definitely a place i will come back... Wait for me, my beloved fishhead steamboat... I will come for you sooon!!!

Mushroom Park Restaurant (21st Oct 2008)

One of my regular dining partner is a vegetarian.... unfortunately for her... i am not. And she has always put up with my meat eating ways!!! :P so today when we went to this place, I voluntered to have vegetarian food... but she offered to let me have my meats :P so she had her portion cooked frist and then later mine :p

This is actually the name of the place in chinese. It's actually the stool.





Drinks offered... :D Eight treasure tea... According to my fren, the ingredients in there, are all eatable :p okieee... I am not a fan of flowers... esp if I have to eat them. I am okay with it being used to make tea or even sauces






Snacks!! These are quite good...
Shredded Mushrooms, we felt that this is made of the mushroom stalks...







And this is mushroom crisp! I like these... U can always buy them in packs in the supermarkets. I bought them from the NTUC in Singapore :D






Xing BAo Mushroom sashimi - we ate this uncooked... I don't think the taste was good. I don't ever want to experience it again. it's definitely different from the non-vegetarian sashimi... give me OToro anytime!!! :p






The soup was good. I can drink bowls and bowls of this.







These that went into the soup... More and more mushrooms!!!












okie... now for the non vegetarian stuffs!!!


Mushroom fish ball - a mixture of chopped mushrooms and fish meat!





Chicken and mutton slices... woo my meats!!! it's fresh enough for me to appreciate tehm/








and I moved on to Carbo!!!


The Yam noodles - these are quite good...





Mushroom tea rice... they actually steam this in these clay "ramekin" like things... It was DELICIOUS! I would go back for just the mushroom tea rice!!





And lastly the Green tea jelly... simple yet good





I am not a very good friend to a vegetarian. I do not understand how this fren did put up with my meat eating ways... If you want to go for food here... it would be nice if u are some what into mushrooms... cause there are just TOO many varities to eat. With a bit more meat choices... I think the place would survive for a while...
