Keishindo Japanese Shrimp Crackers

 

There is actually a striped neko in the kotatsu neko packet!

Anyone who opens this will be exclaiming in delight at how beautiful the crackers are. These are hands down the prettiest snacks I had ever seen. The crackers are tasty, being slightly seasoned, cripsy and full of umami of the prawns. Will definitely impress.

Ichigen Ebi Soba Miso Ramen

 

Enjoying thick noodles soaked with tasty broth full of the essence of shrimp, ahh, that’s life. This ramen from Hokkaido is good and I like the novelty of the noodles being freshly packed instead of drying it before packing.

Ordinary Burger - Not Ordinary at all

I am guessing the burger is named Ordinary because the owners are expecting us to refute that with titles such as mine when we write about it.

Its lineup of burgers is not definitely not ordinary, ranging from buttermilk chicken, ebi prawn to portobello mushroom and impossible burger (a plant-based burger that tastes like real beef burger). I like it that they have veggie options to cater to different tastes.

I had passed by the outlet at Ang Mo Kio several times, and I like the look of the burgers and the concept of the burgers being freshly handmade. But it is only until now that I decide to give it a try. And portobello mushroom burger wins me over. The meaty flavour of portobello mushroom plus the stretchy mozzarella cheese and special sauce yield a very flavourful burger that is full of that smokey aroma I like. This veggie burger does not lose to meat-based burgers in any way. My only issue is that the centre of the mushroom, where the stem was, is harder than the rest of the mushroom, making it more challenging to chew off.

Another vegetarian option, Impossible Burger is impossibly good! Super juicy “meat” slathered with tasty, slightly spicy sauce is definitely a winner. This is most probably my favourite burger of all burgers of all brands.

Ebi burger is very good too due to the generous amount of prawns stuffed into the patty. If one has craving for prawn burger, this is the place to satisfy that craving.

Actually, I am not into fast food at all. But somehow, I always end up getting an Ordinary Burger when I go to Ang Mo Kio. The burgers are definitely worth a try since they are different from their counterparts in other fast food restaurants.

My Thoughts: Worth a try, and is a must try for burger fans. And is my favourite burger joint.
