Oh mann, Manpuku

So much to write, so little time... that's me, with a passion for blogging.

I can't stand it anymore, I need to do some justice or at least talk about it. Finally, I dined at the super crowded "Marche-style" Japanese gourmet town at Tampines 1. It's known as MANPUKU. Finally, and probably a first and final time for me unless the food really improves. However, I have a slight suspicion that the Udon stall is probably better than those we tried.

I decided to go there for a dinner appointment one of the evenings... Craving for the ramen (thinking of the ones I had at Cuppage Terrace!), I decided to go with it. My friend chose the omelette rice that comes with chicken cutlet. Judge these pictures, and I'd tell you they tasted JUST AS BLAND as the photos. They didn't even try to make it taste good, put some MSG lah - kidding.

Anyhow, after reading so many blog entries about how exciting the food are, it turned out to be a disappointment. Are those bloggers "paid" (by getting a free meal there) to write good stuff about it??? Honesty please. Or perhaps it was really good on that day they went for food testing... probably? The desserts (fruit tarts) looked really good, but after having super average main course and looking at how much cream they're having on their tarts, we decided to give it a miss and enjoy desserts at Secret Recipe instead!

So my verdict, try it once for the super cosy ambience and atmosphere! Don't even think of returning unless food standard is raised to make it worth what we're paying for! Go to Shokudo anytime over this! I will probably 'force' myself to return to try the Udon once! Ha.
