Mrupupup tried this Okinawa style pork belly ramen at Sun & Moon Japanese restaurant which was delicious. The pork belly was tender and melt in the mouth. The ramen noodles was cooked with ginger slices and came with half Japanese style egg. Ramen price about $14 and limited period only as the restaurant has a promotion based on Okinawa Japanese dishes. Sun and Moon Japanese Dining Restaurant - 501 Orchard Road, Wheelock Place #03-15/16/17. Long queue at this restaurant got to wait for your turn during peak hours. Check out the video.

The new pop-up store concept - Tokyo Eater by Shokutsu 10 serves up 3 different style of Tendon bowls at a really affordable price! Prices range from $12 to $15. The fried pieces served were really big pieces like vegetables and prawns. Really good! Got to Nex "Shokutsu 10" at Nex Mall! They introduced the concept of Chazuke style, whereby each rice bowl is served together with a bottle of freshly prepared daishi soup made with bonito from Japan to be mixed into the tendon for a light nourishing taste - a really refreshing experience. With no GST or service charge, good thing for the quantity and quality of food!  Go to Nex Mall Shokutsu 10 at #B1-78 at 23 Serangoon Central. Yummy!!! Check out the video Mrupupup made:

Mrupupup kind of late to introduce Soi 19 Thai Wanton Noodles. Think many people would have known of this wanton noodle store. Soi 19 awesome Thai wanton noodles was awesomely yummy. Every day this outlet got queue. The one Mrupupup tried was at Blk 151 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 and they got outlets in Jurong and a newer outlet at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre. Mrupupup tried the noodles costing $5 with extra noodle and extra stuff/ingredients. Love this noodles why ? Springy noodles, lots of pig fat, good char siew, Taiwan sausages added to the noodles was the best part of the dish (always eat this last for Mrupupup!). One can order $4 and $6 versions. not sure why it is Thai style as Mrupupup never had Thai Wanton noodles in Bangkok during vacation and could not find any of such stores. Pretty yummy and good. Picture below of the $5 bowl.

Jamie's Italian Restaurant Singapore Vivocity outlet started by Jamie Oliver the famous British chef. Mrupupup tried out the seared tuna dish ($32) and Spaghetti Nero ($28) with mussels and black colour spaghetti noodles. The tuna was yummy and delicious, nicely done with nice avocado based sauce. The pasta was good with big prawns and mussels. One thing about Jamie's was the good and attentive service at the Vivocity outlet facing the Sentosa Island (address: 1 Harbourfront Walk #01-165 Vivocity mall). The not so good thing about Jamie's was the price of the dishes. Luckily, Mrupupup got use the Entertainer app to get one for one offer, so paid half price. Video

Mrupupup went to YWCA Singapore to have a dinner buffet. YWCA located at 6 Fort Canning Road (near to Fort Canning and YMCA Orchard) The dinner buffet was quite cheap about $20 per person. Had spread of local delights like curry fish, rice wine chicken, local snacks, drinks, desserts, fruits, prawns, oysters and Japanese sushi.
