Round 1


Smelly Tofu ($3): from Wei's. (J) Tasted like sour tofu. I liked how it was crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside. I got used to the smell and it wasn't as bad as I expected. (S) Not bad, smell's pungent, but tastes like regular stuff just a bit sour.

Fried Imitation Lobster Balls ($2): (J) Tasted like imitation crab. (S) Haha yup!

Pork Okonomiyaki ($3): in the shape of a Hello Kitty head. (J) Kinda hard to see with the bonito flakes. (S) The face is kinda skewed to the left. It's cute though.

Authentic Osaka Takoyaki ($5): traditional Japanese octopus balls. (J) Balls were so light and tasty. (S) Yup, this place had the longest lineup for takoyakis.

Grilled Meat (3 for $5): one beef and two lamb. (J) The beef was good but the lamb was too chewy. (S) Too much extra tendon on the lamb.

Chicken Cutlet ($4): (J) So oily yet so tasty. Crispy outside, moist inside. (S) OMG, we couldn't finish this one. It was disgustingly oily, but it was so crispy and tasty.

Round 2


Stir Fry Ice Cream (free, $5): from Marbolicious. Chocolate ice cream with Oreo (top) and Softhard Creamsy House Special (bottom). (J) This house special had the best name so I had to get it. The marshmallows and butter nuts inside were also really good. (S) Nice of them to give us two cuz they screwed up our order. The butter nuts and marshmallow were good. Yumm.

Murtabak ($8): Malaysian roti filled with chicken and peas. (J) Big and filling, but it was also more expensive. It had a nice amount of spice, and a some good crispy parts. (S) Yea, it was filling and crispy. Yum, roti.

Sausage and sticky rice ($2 each): (J) I thought they were two types of sausages, but the sticky rice was in sausage form too. (S) Haha, I thought so too. I was only interested in the red sausage cuz the lighter one seemed uncooked or something, but it was sticky rice.

Grilled Squid ($4): (J) I finally tried a tentacle and I didn't like it. I thought it would be crispy but it was not. (S) Too spicy for me. We each took a bit then gave it to Mel, haha.

Drinks


Lemonade ($1.50): no picture available. (J) The sourness balanced well with all the salty and sweet foods. (S) Very refreshing. Good blend of sour and sweet. Too bad no picture.

Bubble Tea ($3): taro flavour. (J) It looked colder than it really was. (S) Yep, I strategically chose the one that felt colder to the touch, but that backfired.

Basil Seed Drink ($3): (J) The basil seeds were surrounded by a white jelly that made it look like eyeballs. The liquid tasted like lemon tea. (S) Interesting...

Watermelon Juice ($2): (J) I expected lots of ice, but it seemed like all real watermelon. (S) Yes, refreshing as well, if only it was a bit colder.
