Celebrating our friend, Gin's birthday

Today, my friends namely - Zoe, Ellie and Cheryl and I decided to head down to Shokudo@Cineleisure to celebrate our friend, Gin's birthday. Whenever we go for our Kbox session or movie session, we would stare sadly at the newly-furnished restaurant and wondered when we will dine at that place. Finally, we got the chance today.

Despite the school holidays and being a weekday, the place wasn't really packed. As you may know, Shokudo is a new addition to the eatery pie in Singapore and they sell contemporary Japanese cuisine, just like Pasta@Waraku at Central.


Anyway, we took a peek at the menu and thought of getting food with the student price tag. In order to maximum our dollar, we ordered two pastas and a pizza to share among ourselves. We aren't cheapo but we just want to taste most of their dishes.


One of them was Salmon and Avocado Spaghetti (S$8.80). It comes with cubes of salmon and avocado with wafu sauce. Trust me, I have no idea what wafu sauce is. When the dish came, I thought to myself, isn't the sauce look like cream sauce? Anyway, this dish was tad disappointing. The sauce was tasteless. My poor friends have to put cheese profusely onto the spaghetti in order to eat properly.


Next, our Wanton Spaghetti (S$7.80). It comes with steamed wantons with wafu sauce and inside the parcel, it's chicken meat. Compared to the previous post, this dish tasted way better although it wasn't not as good as what I thought. I had to put lots of chili flakes to eat it.


But the best dish so far had to be the waffle thin pizza (Approx. S$10.80). The filling was mashed curry potatoes and on top of that, it was littered with curry leaves and some chili flakes. It was really good. I didn't managed to catch hold of the title. Darn! In the end, all of us agreed that we should just ordered more pizzas instead of the lousy pastas.


When we finishing our entree, our birthday girl finally arrived. She ordered the Shokudo Cheeseburger (S$9.80) and when the burger finally arrived, it was huge! There was sunny side-up egg on top of the mushroom-sauce beef patties. The egg was well-cooked to the perfection of a runny egg. They spread the butter onto the hamburger bun and toasted it until it looked yellowish. You can't see the bun here as our birthday girl had already put it close to her face to understand that the bun was really big. The fries tasted like MOS Burger fries. Superb with chili sauce.


For dessert, I ordered the Tofu Cheesecake (S$4.80). The taste was not too bad. There wasn't any strong tofu or cheese taste in this dish. Instead, it was well-balanced. Ellie ordered Green Tea and Red Bean 'ice-kacang'. I didn't managed to catch hold of the price and the title. Zoe had her Mochi with Red Bean and Green Tea Ice-Cream. The Mochi was chewy and I didn't really like it.


Overall, the ambience was okay but the food was really disappointing. I wish I wouldn't have gone there. But oh well...

P.S. Gin likes the pressie we got for her. A M.A.C Blusher. :)
