Mini Steamboat Delight

It has been our favourite ever since we tried it many years ago. Once in a while, whenever we have cravings for steamboat, we will head down to Parkway Parade. Never mind the distance, never mind the time. Till today, we have yet find another that serves such a fantastic soup base.

Chicken / Tom Yam soup base (10/10)

We always like to have the 'double sided' version. We will try both soup bases, but usually I will use the chicken soup more often, while my hub, the tom yam. It's very addictive. One sip of the soup and you can't stop.



They sell the food on a per plate basis. Mostly around the range of S$2. Our usual orders are Tau Pok (a must!), Thin slices of pork (a must too!), Fish dumplings, Fishballs, Meatballs.

It's not in the photo, but the rice is fantastic. It not the normal white rice, but those chicken flavoured rice. I can eat the rice on its own, without any dishes to go along. No kidding. I hardly come across this kind of rice anymore. The last time I had rice of this flavour and texture is in Golden Mile Basement. But that was more than 20 years back? I was only 6 or 7. I can still remember that I ate 3 big bowls of rice over steamboat back then. Getting nostalgic...



Everything in action... 10/10!

Sakae Sushi (Teppanyaki)

Both of us have a coincidental, sudden urge to go to Parkway Parade for our dinner tonight. Love it when we have such good chemistry! :D

My hub was very hungry and wanted to settle for steamboat because that was the first place we passed by when we reached the shopping centre. However, I told him that we should look around for things we have not tried before. Drats! Sort of regretted making that comment because we ended up in a Japanese restaurant, again!

He was drawn to the Teppanyaki corner in Sakae Sushi, something that we have not seen in other Sakae restaurants. We thought it's good to have something for a change. After we were seated, we realised that we were the only ones at the Teppanyaki counter and that we could order Teppanyaki food without being seated there. So we requested to change our seats.



















My hub ordered the Teppanyaki set.

Teppanyaki Chicken Set (7/10)


















Fried Rice and Teppanyaki Chicken (7/10)

I didn't order the set because it comes with squid and salmon, which I don't take. I ordered a fried rice and a Teppanyaki chicken. The fried rice was somewhat different from the usual fried rice - in Japanese style, I guess. Overall, the two dishes were not too bad, but nothing fantastic.

Ambience
Cosy, yet nicely spaced out seats. Only grouse was the very crammed entrance. While queueing at the cashier, we had to constantly move and give way to people moving in and out to the dining area.

The staff were very friendly and obliging when we requested for a change of seat.
