Fuji Restaurant at Don Mueang Airport Bangkok

One of the good suprises that we had at Don Meuang International Airport is finding Fuji Restaurant. We were expecting that food prices in the airport are more expensive than the city but we were proven wrong.

Fuji Restaurant is a well-designed restaurant, simple yet clean. The staffs are welcoming, it is hard to miss once you entered the boarding area.


Decorated with cherry blossoms wallpapers made the place more welcoming.



They are offering affordable Japanese food, the servings are quite big and for our experience we can say that it was a sumptous meal.


They have set meals complete with drinks and dessert. Worth a try!







If you happen to travel to visit DMK airport, Fuji Restaurant is a good stopover.


Happy bellies!


Fumi in Bangkok, Thailand

For the holidays we decided to travel to Bangkok for a short vacation. Upon visiting Siam Paragon at Siam, we saw Fumi offering pizza sushi. That's when we got curious and decided to try.

Tip1: In Siam Paragon, Fumi is located in the foodcourt at the basement.




Tip2: They also offer other Japanese dishes like ramen, bento meals and appetizers.



 The place is usually packed with diners, need to wait to be seated.


Browse through their menu to see more of their dishes.


We tried the chicken bento meal and salmon avocado pizza sushi. The servings are quite small and it's only for one person, the price is affordable.









Tip3: Gourmet Market is also located in the basement, the market is quite big and offers a wide variety of cooked and uncooked meals.



Have some pizza sushi experience!

Ruyi at Changi Terminal

Changi Airport is one of the best and most convenient airport I've ever been. Choosing where to eat in the airport is quite a tough job for me. Trying to weigh down quality with the price is the choice to make.

With Ruyi, I can say that we found quality and affordability at the same time. I remembered we tried Ruyi at Resorts World Sentosa like 2 years ago.

Tip1: Ruyi is located at Changi Terminal 1, beside Pizza Hut and opposite Bengawan Solo.




Tip2: It's also a self-service restaurant, the place is cozy but guests cannot bring in trolleys inside.

Tip3: Try their fried rice and braised beef noodles for a soothing and sumptous meal ;)




Enjoy the short meals at Ruyi! Have a safe flight!

Japanese Food at Ajisen Ramen

As a Japanese food fanatic, we would always look for Japanese food casual dining around town. Ajisen Ramen is always the first choice because of affordability.

Tip1: Ajisen Ramen are located all over Singapore, refer to the store locator in their website.

http://www.ajisen.com.sg/



Tip2: Usually self-service restos in the mall during peak hours are crowded, have patience while waiting to be seated.


We first try Ajisen Ramen at Causeway Point Woodlands, the food are quite good specially their ramen and bento meals.






Tip3: Check out their menu for more choices of ramen and bento meals.




For Japanese food cravings, Ajisen Ramen is just around the corner.



Taste of Penang Food at Gurney Drive Singapore

With numerous hawkers and restaurants in Singapore, for me foods usually taste the same. But locals can distinguish which of the hawkers offer the best food in town.

I heard about Penang Malaysia from my Malaysian Chinese colleagues, they say that Penang offers the best food in Malaysia. And most of my Singaporean friends confirm with that claim.

Causeway Point was renovated end 2011, it was indeed a better mall now. With the renovation, new restaurants popped out with better food quality I can say.

Me and hubby saw Gurney Drive at 5th floor Causeway Point, when I saw that they offer Penang food I told him that my colleauges said that Penang Food are the best. We checked their menu and it's affordable, so we decided to try their offerings.


Tip1: For more information about Gurney Drive, here is their website.

The place is also inspired with Gurney Drive hawker style in Penang.



Tip2: Try their fried rice and kway teow, I can say that the food are rich in flavors and can really fill-up hungry tummies.

Tip3: Chendol float and ice coffee float are refreshing! Try their drinks to balance the meal.

If you're looking for Penang food try Gurney Drive, the chef they say is very experienced with Penang taste.
Worth a try!
