Sushi at 99 cents

I found out besides the usual Suki Sushi outlet I go, there's another sushi place that sells their food at 99 cents!





However, chawamushi costs $2.99 at this place.

Ambiance is cosy and nice, with tables and chairs made of dark brown wood. and the usage of spotlights. Have to self-service in selecting your food though. Food(those not available on the conveyor belt) and drinks have to be ordered through putting the icecream sticks in the right baskets.

Cool huh?

This style of dining is easily available in Nihon Mura!

There's one branch in The Cathay Basement.

King of Fruits



This place has a wide variety of fruits! Jackfruit, watermelon, mangosteen, mango durians.....




Durian and mangosteens


The seeds are small. Good stuff!

Service is good too, as the staff(mostly uncles) are friendly. They have been open for about a month and it seems like business is good! The crowd there consists of both local and foreigners. The place is spacious and there is a section still under renovation. I think that section will be air-conditioned. Will go again when the place is done up.

The Freshest Lobster

Yeah! I was lucky to have caught a Lobster on a fishing trip!!

To be enjoying a delicacy at a lower cost is definitely good for a change. =D

No Signboard Seafood


Been a long time since I went back to this place and wow, they have improved their shop design and operations. Now customers are able to see clearly(if they're observant enough) how organized they are. I was impressed when it started drizzling and a team of 5 men ran out to unhook the plastic sheets so that customers sitting nearest the road do not get drenched.


How can we ever miss out the lobster salad? It has been my favourite dish there ever since I started eating seafood. Though it's a little pricey over the rest of the dishes, the lobster is fresh and mixes well with the fruits(green apple, lemon). For a mayo lover, this is 2 thumbs up!


The female staff allowed me to take a photo of her cooking Drunken Prawns.


Cooked in front of our eyes wor!!


Yummylicous. Simply full of herbal and wine. The alcohol isn't strong to me, but I heard this dish is All perfect for the heart. Whereas for the way its cooked, well, I do not want to go into details.

History:
In the late 70s, it was a stall at the Matter Road Hawker Centre. Madam Ong Kim Hoi and her husband sold White Pepper Crab using Madam Choo's own recipe. As money was tight, they could not afford any signboards for their stall. Their regular customers started recommending friends by word of mouth and over time, the stall came to be known as the one with no signboard.

Very good. Save money on signboard, still can get famous.
