food adventures vol. 01

This year is a time for new discoveries. I compiled all of the new food and restaurants I tried in the year 2026.
One big order from Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu (SM North) consisting of: Sirloin + Tenderloin Gyukatsu Zen Sides (cabbage, Kyoto style curry, AKA miso soup, rice, signature onsen egg.)
A tray of order from Yayoi (SM MOA): Cheesy Katsu Curry (deep fried pork loin + potatoes + carrots in Japanese curry sauce and melted cheese) with side dishes (miso soup with clams + pickled vegetables + potesara or a Japanese potato salad)

new restaurant i discovered and i had to have my parents try them!

finally tried that cheese dish i've been eyeing for a long time!

A generous serving of Filipino style spaghetii with hotdogs, mushrooms, and cheese.

Starting the new year with my mom's spaghetti recipe. I actually did pretty great for a first timer and my mom is proud of me. I am determined to discover and learn stuff this year, so I'm starting with food.

Last dinner with Dad before he goes back! Mom's not here to try the miso soup with clams (it's her favorite)!

A tray of a complete meal from Yayoi (SM North) consisting of: Katsu Curry Teishoku (deep fried pork loin in Japanese curry sauce Side dishes: miso soup, pickled veggies, and potesara or Japanese potato salad)
Delivery order from Frankie's New York: Fish & Chips with lemon + Ranch (not in the photo)

first time cooking myself some spaghetti for new years

but i will always come back to my favorite.

fish and chips from my favorite chicken wing shop and this is my fave from them lmao

Japanese cuisine is at the top of my favorites and you can never go wrong with it. Fortunately, I feel like Japanese restaurant are everywhere here so I am very very happy with that.

An order from Cafe Mary Grace: Chocolate mousse slice

I order in during my class days. I started eating something sweet again to see if it will boost my mood. And would you look at that? It's pretty effective.

One big order from Al Qaysar consisting of Arabic Chicken Shawarma Plate with fries, cucumbers, pickles, carrots; Garlic Naan; Butter Chicken; with three containers of various sauces.

had some chocolate mousse. when was the last time ate cake?

A table of meals from Aburi En (NEX) consisting of: Premium Buta Bara Don (grilled premium pork belly, shimeji mushrooms on rice + miso soup Satsusama-age cheese stick) & Mentaiko Chicken Teppan (sizzling grilled chicken thigh with mentaiko cheese sauce with corns, carrots, and zucchini + rice bowl + miso soup) & Chicken Nanban Don (deep-fried chicken drizzled tartar sauce, mixed salad on rice + miso soup)

i ordered too much... didn't know the servings were this much

An order from Cafe Mary Grace: a slice of Mango Bene.
One order from Fish & Co. (Jewel Changi Airport): Swiss Fish and Chips with melted cheese + mushroom soup + chocolate milkshake

Last month of vacation before I go back home for graduate studies. I will definitely miss the food and my mom's cooking.

two more new Japanese restaurants I discovered, so I took my parents to them!

An order from Gochi-So Shokudo (Wistma Atria) consisting of Duroc Pork Signature (duroc pork loin + crab cream croquette + ebi + cheese roll) with sides (cabbage, miso soup, roasted sesame, Japanese rice)

overwhelmed by my birthday cake! but mangoes on cake? didn't know i need it until i tried it.

tried a fish & chips restaurant
and oh my lordy it is very overwhelming.

Another order from Cafe Mary Grace of Smoked Salmon with Cream Pasta and a garlic bread + summer squash soup.
One order from Hawker Center (Bishan Interchange): Creamy Chicken Carbonara + Cheesy Fries

had my favorite smoked salmon and cream pasta! i am a happy birthday girl.

Even if I discover new ones, I think my comfort foods still remain the favorites. Pasta never fails to put me in a great mood. And every time I accomplish something, eating pasta has always been a reward for myself.

My mom is looking for a specific kind of Japanese dish, so we go around Singapore trying several Japanese restaurants lol. I know, I know... We're in SG and looking for JP food. But hey! This is my second home and they offer a lot of options, so...

I may have only ordered in for my birthday, but the orders are top tier. Yes, I celebrated by myself but I am still happy. Food is great, and I feel great. All is well.

Family drink order Secret Recipe (Plaza Singapure) consisting of Coffee Latte + Watermelon juice + Oreo milkshake
One order from Secret Recipe (Plaza Singapura): Spaghetti Bolognese and Mushroom soup

yes. this is from a hawker center by the way. i am pleasantly surprised! it's amazing too.

you can never go wrong with pasta and soup and milkshake though!

Orders from Cafe Mediterranean (SM Mall of Asia) consisting of Beef Gyro with Fries Wrap + Beef Kebab with Lemonade and Mango Shake.

Mediterranean food is the theme of the month. When they said Mediterranean diet I don't think this is what they mean. But no regrets! Something about the dishes that always put me in a great mood. All is good with amazing food.

lunch with my bestie before watching spiderman. food is amazing! taking my parents here next time.

Orders from Al Jograts Persian Grill: Double Beef Kebab with Rice and Tomato and Onions with Chicken Shawarma Wrap

Something is in the meat! Kebabs and shawarmas never failed to boost my mood and keep me happy all day.

i didn't know that you can do salmon sinigang! but now i know.

my bestie introduced me to this food place. now i am a regular.

Not much this month, unfortunately. I stuck to home-cooked meals and Filipino dishes. Not a great month but It will get better soon.
