Those who work in the West or at Jurong East area rejoice!

Miam Miam now offers their special weekday Lunch Exécutif Menu exclusively at their Westgate outlet.


You can now choose to tuck into their wildly popular Miam Miam Spaghetti, which features a potpourri of ingredients such as pork frankfurters, bacon, baby spinach and tomatoes.

 

If not you can also go for their Modern Yaki pasta which is a Japanese pasta rendition of mushroom, sesame, egg, bonito flakes and seaweed.

Available also are sandwich offerings such as Teriyaki Chicken or BLT.

The photo does not do justice I know. While it looks unimpressive here, the taste was surprisingly decent. The bread was well baked, soft inside and lightly toasted.

If you are not a pasta or sandwich fan, also available on the lunch menu is the Riz au Curry - a baked medley that stars a bed of scrummy rice drenched in homemade Japanese curry as well as pork frankfurters, broccoli, cheese and egg.

 

Personally, I think their pasta offerings are better.

To top it off, you can enjoy a complimentary Matcha Red Bean Cream Pancake (worth $12.80) when you order two set lunches.

 

This dessert is so good I highly recommend you order one even if you are not going for the set.

Super fluffy pancakes with whipped, matcha jelly, coffee jelly and black sugar honey (kuromitsu).


The Executive Lunch Menu is exclusively available at the Westgate outlet.

As the developments around Jurong East area come to fruition, the more I yearn to live in the West! 

Westgate grab my attention when I realised the huge Isetan supermarket and also Johan Paris Bakery that have opened at the mall. Dedicated blog post here.

The more I discover Westgate, the more I come to the conclusion that it is indeed a mini Japanese haven as the mall host a wide variety of Japanese restaurants, lifestyle stores, fashion and Isetan and its gourmet supermarket. Some of the Japanese restaurants include Ippudo SG (one of my fav ramen), Osaka Ohsho, Tsukada Nojo, Coco Ichibanya  . You can also find specialty stores such as Ki Mono, ROYCE, Johan Paris Bakery.

Aside from being conveniently located next to Jurong West MRT, the mall also has a lot of family features like the 11,000 sq ft Westgate Wonderland, and an exclusive kids club for our little shoppers, a dedicated child friendly shower room especially for kids after their play date at the Wonderland.

Opening of TOKYU HANDS at Westgate

I am also super duper excited that TOKYO HANDS will be opening its doors at Westgate #01-36/37.  tomorrow!!

Tokyo Hands is a must visit for me everytime I travel to Japan. And now they have opened their first store in Southeast Asia, here is Singapore.  With an impressive 7,500 sq ft store space, located on the first floor of Westgate, you can shop for creative lifestyle products in Japan. This Singapore store will also feature their most popular ‘designed by Japan’ items such as beauty products, latest stationary, travel ware, functional household items and much more.

OH MY GOSH! I can’t wait to share more with you after I visited! Stay tuned~

Today’s bento character is Bukubuku, this super cute super mascot for the Japanese Sweets Collection. 

“Bukubuku” are actually cream fairies and can only be seen by children (woo hoo~~ I am feeling young LOL). Bukubuku has 5 members in his family. They are: Bukubuku Papa, Mama, Bukulina the little sister, and Bubbu the little brother. Bukubuku can freely change their shape since their bodies are actually cream.. how cute is that?!?!

Bukubuku in this bento was made from rice and seaweed. The face, arms and leg portion is also rice which I colored a little using some ketchup and soy sauce. I also made some tamagoyaki egg rolls with strawberry prints! I added the cream bento picks, cute combination right? I even made a ice-cream, supposed to look like the Gelato ice-cream from MILKISSIMO. Read more below. 

Remember my posting on Wednesday about the Japanese Sweets Collection event in Singapore at Isetan Jurong East?

Thanks to Jeki for their kind invitation, there was a media session organised for bloggers like us to attend this super lovely event. Japanese sweets!! Hehehe super love.  


I also met Bukubuku mascot!!! (so super cute). Bukubuku wants to show you the event highlights~and some of my favorite and recommended sweets at the event! 

Watch my video  or read more below! (Gosh… I bought so many sweets from the event :P).



Have fun! Remember! Last day of the event is 23 March 2014

Japanese Sweets Collection
14 to 23 March 2014
Isetan Jurong East @ Westgate Supermarket B2
Facebook Page (here)


My favorite and recommended sweets are:
(in no order of preference)

1. Crunch Sugar Danish Bar from danish bar. These Danish bars are amazing, it is so crispy on the outside and so chewy and soft on the inside. The buttery bread dough is so enjoyable. 

The sugar crunch outside is also very yummy gives a nice constrast in texture. The danish bars feels like a cross between bread and pastry! 

I had some fresh on the spot (AWESOME). I also bought a L size box back, and had it when it was cold the following day afternoon, it still tasted very yummy!

 
L size (4 danish bars and 15 danish balls) $12.50
S size (2 danish bars and 9 danish balls) $7.50
Crunch Sugar Danish Bar $2.50 per pc
 
 
2. Gelato from MILKISSIMO. Recommended flavours are Sakura (Cherry Blossom), Mango and Purple Sweet Potato. Oh my… this is probably going to be the first time that Sakura flavoured ice cream is available in Singapore! You have to try it. 
 
The cherry flavour is subtle but definitely present. I like how it is not too strong and gentle in flavour that way. I have tasted several cherry blossom sweets in Japan, and I have to say that this gelato ice-cream is yummy. 
 
The mango was also very impressive. It is not too sweet and very fragrant. The slight tangyness also gives it a very refreshing taste. 
 
The purple sweet potato flavour is a very interesting flavour and so pretty to look at! I recommended this as this is a very unique flavour though I would not recommending having this as a single scoop cup, It is better to have this when you order multiple flavours. 
 
Single Scoop $6
Double Scoop $7.50
Triple Scoops $9
3. Uji Matcha Fresh Chocolate and Cha Cha Maru from Tsujirihei Honten (Kyoto). 
 
Cha Cha Maru, this little translucent sweet could be easily overlooked by many, but I highly recommend this! The exterior of this sweet is jelly and wrapped inside creamy matcha cream and azuki beans. Sprinkle on some roasted soybean powder and enjoy the sweet (the soybean powder is packed separately) It is so very very yummy! I was so lucky to have grabbed a last piece for the day. They do not have many numbers of these, do check them out!
 
I also recommend their Uji Matcha Fresh Chocolate for matcha fans and fans of nama chocolate. The bitterness of the matcha powder is intense but not too overpowering. The chocolate has the right amount of sweetness and very creamy as well. 
 
Cha Cha Manju $3 per pc
Uji Matcha Fresh Chocolate $19.50 for 18pcs
4. Macarons from Patisserie Sadaharu AOKI paris. Macarons fans would not need me to say further. The famous macarons are available in Singapore. However, do note that the macarons are not sold singly, they come in pre-packed packets of 6 or 12 with set flavours. 
 
The macarons are pricey, with a box  the organisers have shared that the macarons are highly sought after in Japan and it was not easy to have it available at the event. If you can afford to splurge a little and love macarons, I say, give it a try :)
 
Macarons $34 for 6pcs, $66 for 12pcs
