Lunch buffet in Singapore Seafood Republic

1. April 27, 2012 08:30

It's been a long time since it was called an ethnic boom. Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian cuisines, Africa, Brazil, Central and South America cuisines are so popular that it is difficult to choose. I think it's completely established. Many people may get sick of spices such as fragrant vegetables and lemongrass and spices such as namplers, gnokumam, peppers and coconut milk.


I was one of them, and today I came to Singapore seafood republic Ginza store, a Singapore food.

The one who introduced me was a friend who was a representative in Singapore, recommends that you can enjoy the atmosphere and taste of Singapore when you enter the store. This is a store that four famous Singapore stores jointly opened in Japan four years ago. I came last year at night, but at that time I heard that "I also have a buffet at lunch", but I didn't have a chance.

100_0498.JPGIt is located on the 11th floor of Yurakucho Marronnier Gate.

The interior of the store is a clean, casual interior that is unified with white and has a high ceiling and an open space.

There is a buffet table in the center, and there are plenty of salad bars, Singapore Asian cuisine, rice menu, Asian noodle, and daily desserts.

A foreign couple stands out in the customer. The atmosphere is also like Singapore.


The noodle bar is made on the spot if you choose something like a stall. On this day, Laxa Noodle (spicy Sudle of Coconut soup) and Pork Noodle are staple food in Singapore. I ordered two kinds of half quantity. There are also a lot of familiar food stalls such as stewed tofu, fried bamisen and peargoren. I'm going to put various desserts for the photo and finally taste it! (Reflection)

Founded in 1861 [Kiyokazuken] Dorayaki and sheep liver

1. April 18, 2012 08:30

I don't have to dorayaki.

"Speaking of that," I remembered the dorayaki in a box containing the "Daifuku Book" that I had shown at another store before. I didn't have a chance to ask, thinking "in the meantime."


Kiyokazuken is a long-established store that has been around since the late Tokugawa shogunate period. Looking at the website, there was a note that the business hours were from 9:00 to 17:00 (closed as soon as the dorayaki was sold out).

100_0482.JPG

We arrived at 14:30, and we were greeted by the sign below.


I was a little disappointed and arrived at 9:30 the next day. Obtain a large and small dorayaki and a sheep liver since its founding. According to the shop, it was sold out almost in the morning! It's going to do it. "It was unusual for that day to be open until the afternoon. ・I heard that it was amplified. 30 minutes earlier. ・・・・)


Founded in the first year of Bunkyu (1861), he is the seventh generation of his current husband. "The red beans are cooked over a thick heat for 4-5 hours without using a pressure cooker. Since the customer's preferences vary widely, it is difficult to match the tastes of all customers, but I would like to make sweets that more people think it is delicious. " It's a long-established spirit.

The cosmetic box of "Daifuku Book" is a stylish design that makes you enjoy watching.

100_0487.JPG 100_0488.JPG


Dorayaki large 210 yen, small 175 yen, Ogura sheep liver man rod 1,150 yen (there are other books)

By the way, the word "sheep liver" is derived from a place similar to the sheep's liver.

How about a new Tokyo souvenir? -"Nihonbashi Chocolat Okoshi"-Nihonbashiya

1. April 12, 2012 08:30

I suddenly went to Hakata, and I didn't have time to prepare what I thought, "What should I do with souvenirs?", I went to Haneda. Pop caught my eye at the shop near the departure gate.

I thought, "Dancing, fragrant, new revitalization" and "Okoshi?", But I tried to find it by the stylish package and lightness. There are also 5 bottles for the taste on board. The sweetness of chocolate is added to the crisp texture, and it goes perfectly with coffee that has been awake. I'm relieved that this would be okay. It has the impression of a "new generation sweets" that is slightly different from the old "Okoshi". If you look at the box, the head office address is "Nihonbashi Muromachi". I went back to Tokyo and visited the shop immediately. It's across the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building facing Chuo-dori.

100_0469.JPG

Among the long-established Nihonbashi shops, there are many shops in Nihonbashi.

Founded in 2003.

In 2007, we opened a store at our current location.

It's still a young shop.


In addition to "Nihonbashi Chocolat Okoshi", there are a variety of cherry blossom sweets such as "Sakuramochi", "Ueno Night Sakura", "Nihonbashi Sakura" and "Kioizaka" that are perfect for the season. The inside of the store is also in full bloom.

100_0473.JPG


525 yen for 5 bottles of Nihonbashi Chocolat Okoshi, 1,050 yen for 10 bottles

I put chocolate on domestic brown rice puff and brown rice roast. Three flavors of strawberry, matcha, and kinako

 

Below is the seasonal cherry blossom bean paste (137 yen per piece) of "Tenka Taihei"

In addition, weeping cherry blossoms at the base of Nihonbashi.

Shimbashi Enbujo in April - Chushingura of the flower-shaped generation

1. April 6, 2012 08:30

Today, the day after the fierce spring storm that was not a typhoon ran through, it was a clear sunny day for cherry blossom viewing. In April, theater performed the ninth stage last month, so it was "Kanamon Chushingura" day and night with half the second stage and the tenth stage, which are rarely performed. At present, Danjuro, Koshiro, Yoshiemon and Nizaemon are showing mature art as Yuranosuke actors, but this time Yuranosuke-Somegoro, Judge-Kikunosuke, Shina Nao-Matsu Midori Kanpei-Kamejiro and popular young actors who will be in the next generation of Kabuki are sold.

100_0451.JPG 100_0453.JPG


The daytime section is "Large", "Third tier", "Four tier" [Roading]. Before the opening of the "Ojo", a doll on the mouth introduces the cast to Hyokin, and when the formal curtain opens slowly, the performers raise their faces as if breathed with the voice of Gitayu. When you become a human from a doll, you know that it was originally puppet ballad drama. Kikunosuke's judge and Somegoro's Yuranosuke, respectively, are one of the protagonists of his father and grandfather. In this way, Kabuki reminds me that it has continued.

On the fourth day, there are many first roles and it feels a little hard, but in a great performance, Mr. Somegoro says in an interview, "I hope it will be a month where you can see progress and growth every day." But it is a fresh impression.

If you watch day and night and buy a plot, you can apply for a lottery where you can win a travel ticket to Akaho. If you look at the night part, you have to apply. (Do not throw away stubs)

The shop sold "middle stomach" (1,100 yen for 5 children) and "Yokan" (200 yen per bottle) in line with "Chushingura". Today's intermission we had a sandwich and coffee lunch (1150 yen) at the cafe "Eli Hana" right across theater. You can make a reservation for the intermission, and TAKE OUT is also OK. It's easy to have a bite-sized sandwich, and it doesn't get sleepy because it's not too heavy! There is also an advantage.

Ten years later, you may be proud that you took the "flower shape" from this cast and saw it when you first played it.

The night section is the performances of "5th Dan", "6th Dan", "Nanatsudan", and "11th Dan".

Gold leaf honey candy of [Hakuza Nihonbashi]

1. April 2, 2012 08:30

This "gold foil honey candy" was a souvenir for the exhibition of a kimono shop. It looks like a snow dome that glitters gold leaf in the transparent nectar in a square bottle. I feel sorry to open it, but in addition to the classic use of toast and yogurt, I came up with "Yes" and added it to blue cheese. It's like this.

100_0448.JPGIf you read the manual, it is a collaboration product with "Eitaro" that is limited to Hakuza Nihonbashi. Speaking of which, COREDO Muromachi was just looking at the time of opening, so I went out after a long absence.


Almost a year and a half have passed since the opening in October 2010, and it has become an impression that it has melted into the cityscape. The city is a creature, isn't it? The new commercial facility will soon be absorbed into a part of the familiar landscape from the past. It's amazing.


100_0446.JPG"Hakuza Nihonbashi" is located near the entrance of the 1st floor. The main store is Kanazawa, the home of "foil". I've been to a shop in Higashi Chaya-gai, and the atmosphere is somewhat similar. It is a shop that expands the areas of "foil" such as food, cosmetics, vessels, and interiors, and proposes new ways to use it. The design of tableware such as bracelets, necklaces, and balls made with pure gold platinum foil is also stylish and has a very good hobby. There was also "gold foil honey candy". Chocolate next to it is also a collaboration product with a long-established store. Next to the standard oil control paper, there are many cosmetics with gold leaf!


I found something interesting. The "Pokkin Chopsticks" (840 yen for 5 sets) is the disposable chopsticks with gold leaf. "Please open your chopsticks on the food." That's right. The gold leaf flutters on the dishes! I got it right away. The intention is to surprise the cherry blossom viewing visitors to my house, but the playfulness of the shop is really fun.

100_0447.JPGHe seemed to be more unusual, and I was invited to the shop to experience the "golden sky". The dome-shaped space in the middle of the shop is about 2m square, but the outside and inside are tightly affixed with gold leaf. I asked a few grams of gold leaf used, but I forgot it. I feel like I went through my mouth and entered the tea room in the booth. When you sit on a small stool, gold leaf sways like a mobile at the top of the light, which makes you feel somewhat strange.



After all, the radiance of GOLD continues to attract East and West people from ancient times.
