Oink Noona: Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei, Tanjong Pagar

"I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door."

Just now Noona attended a lunch time zumba class and the instructor happened to play Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved for cooling down track. Maroon 5 used to be Noona's most beloved band and she often (shamelessly) sings their songs in KTV with some friends. Nowadays we don't really sing a lot of Maroon 5's songs anymore because we think their old albums are way better than the newer ones. Aigoo, now Noona feels like going to KTV. Time to plan for a session soon. Hahaha.

While we were humming on This Love, we have reached our Saturdate venue, Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei. Yep, we have joined the snaking queue to try the pretty new beef hamburg restaurant from Japan which located at Peck Seah Street in Tanjong Pagar area. We have reached the restaurant slightly after 5.30PM and the queue was already pretty long. Noona hopes that means this restaurant is really that good. 

The queue has become more and more gruelling after 30 minutes have passed because of the humid weather of this island of Singapore. Thankfully, the restaurant provides self-service iced Hojicha for patrons who are about to faint from thirst. Noona herself has taken and gulped down three cups of iced hojicha because it was so damn hot and humid. Arghh. 

She was so excited when the waitress finally let her and her friend in. The set meal at Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei comes with free flow salad. Diners will be given salad bowl and you can fill up the bowl with basically what your heart desires from the salad bar. The salad bar is pretty extensive and it does not only provide vegetables like cucumber, tomato, corn, carrot, etc. It also has a variety of pasta and potato salad. Fruits are also available toward the end of the salad bar. 

This bowl of salad/ pasta is actually enough to fill in Noona's stomach without having even started on the main hamburg steak. Everything which comes with the term "free-flow" is basically a blow to all kind of self-control required for a good diet. Hahaha.

After waiting for roughly around 20 minutes or so, our Beef Hamburg set meal has finally arrived. The set meal consists of a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup, a shrimp tempura, two pieces of tofu, several sprouts, tartar sauce for the tempura and of course, the beef hamburg. You can choose the sauce for the hamburg. If Noona is not wrong, some of the choices for the sauce are BBQ, yakiniku, etc.

The plate is hot so be careful not to accidentally touch the place with your bare fingers. 

This is basically what happened after you cut the beef hamburg open, cheese filling oozing out asking to be eaten. Taste wise, the beef hamburg is not bad at all. Noona got very very full after finishing her hamburg though up to the point she was kinda reluctant to move. #foodcoma
