1st day of the 2 week break

I’m so going to Orchard Rd later. And to continue my “Orchard Road foodie guide”, which was last edited ages ago, like 2 years ago?

Orchard road is quite a distance to cover, since it comprises of 3 MRT stations. Namely, Somerset MRT, Orchard MRT and Dhoby Ghaut MRT.

Orchard MRT consists of the mainstream shops. Like Pepper Lunch, MOS Burger, KFC and the usual fast-food joints. Also, we have Cedele, TCC and the café.
With the new malls at Orchard Rd, there’s a load more food establishment. Namely, Orchard Central, 313@Somerset and ION orchard.

I’ve always confused between Orchard Central and 313@Somerset, since both are located nearby. The only difference is that 313@Somerset is within easy access to the MRT compared to Orchard Central. So at Orchard Central there is a escalator outside, connecting you directly from the Ground floor to the 4th level or something. And there’s a nice Japanese Restaurant located at level 7. It’s called Tonkichi. This is a nice place selling fried Japanese food. Fried pork, tempura, fried oysters…and everything!!! With an affordable price too! And the portion is huge. So you’ll be ordering 2 sets just for 3 persons. 4 if you are not much of a meat eater.
If all the meat is killing you, you’ll be pleased to know that it comes with free-flow of vegetables. This is a nice crunchy and juicy vegetable called cabbage. And there’s a special type of sauce for you to dip the cabbage into. And the taste is superb! It taste fine even without the sauce.

I’m a boring type of person, so I would usually just stick to Rosu Katsu Set(pork loin) which cost just $22.90. And also the Chawanmushi, which cost $4.50 If there’s more than 2 people, feel free to order more! There’s the Katsu ala-carte menu which sells all the deep-fried stuffs. And don’t forget to include their home-made curry sauce. It’s yummy! Oh…just the thought of it makes me drool.

Still remember to order the tamago and as well as their yummy-licious ice cream. And the coffee-jelly! A healthy meal, with the proper servings of meat and vegetables within a single meal!
