Tonkotsu Ikkyu (Ramen Champion) @ Changi Airport Terminal 3

For the past three years, whenever hubby and I had craving for ramen, Ikkousha (Ramen Champion) at Changi Airport T3 would be our top choice.  Two weeks ago on a Friday evening, after a tiring day from work, we went back to Ramen Champion.  However, to our disappointment, Ikkousha had ceased its operation at Changi Airport!  Sob, Sob... Thus, we ordered our ramen from the new stall "Tonkatsu Ikkyu" which had taken over Ikkousha's original stall premise.  

The pork bone broth, probably boiled for many hours, was very thick and creamy, just like Ikkousha's.  Presentation-wise was also very similar to that of Ikkousha, with the noodles topped with black fungus, spring onions and the thin slices of meat spreading evenly and nicely around the bowl, like petals from a flower.  The sliced meat was slightly tougher than Ikkousha's almost melt-in-the-mouth lean sliced pork.

 Hubby and I both ordered the Special Tonkotsu Ramen (S$15.80).

Father's Day Dinner at Saboten @ Changi Airport Terminal 1

Hubby and I went for a 11 days trip to Hokkaido/ Tokyo during last June holidays.  Our date of departure was Sunday, 15 Jun and it coincide with Father's Day.  Dad came to fetch us to the airport and I treated the family to a dinner at Saboten before catching the flight to Haneda Airport for our trip to Hokkaido!  Yes!  More Japanese food!!!  =)

Saboten is one of my favourite tonkatsu restaurant. 

 Free flow of shredded cabbages, which went very well with the sesame dressing.

Loin Katsu (Large)

I ordered Salmon Katsu instead of Loin Katsu as the staff told us that the loin katsu was only available in "large".  I was afraid that I couldn't finish the "large" portion of loin katsu and thus, I decided to go for a change.  

We were served a scoop of green-tea (matcha) ice-cream to end the meal.

The Coastal Settlement (TCS) @ Netheravon Road, Changi

After a short hike with my colleagues at the Changi Point Coastal Walk on a Friday morning when we didn't need to report for work, we decided to walk over to The Coastal Settlement for an early lunch at around 11am despite having a heavy breakfast.  We were one of the first few customers to arrive at the restaurant. I had wanted to come to this place quite some time ago but it was difficult to make a reservation during weekend nights.  I was glad that I finally got to see this place!

As we reached the gate, we were surprised that the area next to the valet service counter was very messy, like a mini warehouse, to put all the "junk".  Not too sure it was done deliberately?

At the entrance of the restaurant....

The whole place was very big.  As it was still drizzling, we decided to get our seats indoor.

The indoor decor was really very interesting.  You could find many old types of furniture here.  There were also sofa seats, high stools, low stools.. just choose wherever you like!  (Provided the restaurant is not crowded).  In fact, we had a change of seat after we finished our mains.  My friend just asked the staff whether we could change our seats as we wanted a different view.  The staff said no problem and thus, we got cosy seats to enjoy our desserts.  :)

Anyone of you have seen this type of television?  I had and even used it before!  Haha.... So you know that I am not too young already.

The menu.

This was my cup of Flat White ($6).

We ordered truffle fries ($15) to share.  The fries were very crispy and addictive, although a bit too salty.

 Half and Half Pizza ($25) - One half was Prosciutto & Arugula and the other half was Margherita.  The pizza was good although I still prefer Skinny Pizza.  The crust was very thin and too crispy until it was quite difficult to cut.  In the end, we just tore if off with our hands.  

Creamy Soup with Mussels and Clams ($18).

Waffles! ($15)

I decided to serve my friends waffles since I was the one who was dying to have it but couldn't possibly finished the whole plate by myself.  The staff gave us 5 small plates as there were 5 of us and the portion was big, good for sharing.

It was a great day unwinding with my friends here and we spent close to 3 hours at the restaurant.  Love the ambience and will definitely like to come again, maybe during the night with hubby,  :)

A laid back evening at Changi Village.....

My favourite Chicken Chop Hor Fun at Changi Village.

Azur @ Crowne Plaza Hotel

A birthday celebration for a colleague over lunch buffet at Azur, located at level 2 of Crowne Plaza Hotel which is linked to Changi Airport Terminal 3.  Somehow, most of the food didn't really interest me and I didn't really eat much for this buffet, only took four plates of food.

Oysters were fresh.

Took another fried glutinous red bean ball.

The brunch starts from 12.30pm and each pax for the buffet cost $45++ during weekends.
