Anyeong Noona

When girls are in doubt, the next thing that they do is to meet up with other girls and talk about their life's problems away, including guy problem. Noona admits she herself often does this kind of things and thankfully her stories so far has not irritated any of her girl friends despite how weird/ unusual her storytelling skill is. This time, we are visiting one of the most-often-featured-cafe in K-drama worlds, Dal Komm Coffee. It was featured in Descendants of the Sun and Goblin and the famous cafe has opened an outlet at Centrepoint in Somerset. 

If you recalled watching Goblin, Eun Tak was drinking a peach looking drink named Honey Grapefruit. Noona was kinda curious on how good the drink is so she ordered one glass of grapefruit juice. It tastes so refreshing and hopefully the drink is really filled with Vit C instead of sugar. Well, there's honey added to it though otherwise it will be super sour. 

Cake-wise, we were not really attracted to the cake display at Dal Komm Coffee but decided to try out one of their cheese cake after all. The drinks taste better than the cakes. 

Noona's other two chingus ordered sweet potato latte and hot version of Honey Grapefruit. The sweet potato latte tastes pretty unique and it is categorised under the non-caffeine drinks. So you will still be able to sleep even though you drink the latte pretty late at night. 

The hot version of Honey Grapefruit taste not bad either although Noona prefers the iced one.

There are two branches of Gyozaya in Singapore and both branches are located at Orchard area. One is located at ION Orchard while the other is located at Robinsons Orchard. If you prefer to dine in the quieter place, you should go for the branch at Robinsons Orchard. Just like its name, Gyozaya is famous for its gyoza (re: Japanese pan-fried dumplings). Gyozaya serves a variety of gyoza with different toppings that you probably have never tried before like cheese, chicken curry and even mentaiko (the Japs really love to put mentaiko on almost everything). 

Since both Noona and her pal are big eater, they know for sure that they would not be filled with gyoza alone unless they order maybe more than 5 plates of gyoza so they decided to order some carbs to go with their gyoza. Noona ordered a bowl of Garlic Fried Rice which tastes so damn good (nothing can go wrong with fried rice, really!). 

While Noona's pal went for Japanese rendition Jya-Jya Men (which Noona thinks is the counterpart of Korean jajjangmyeon). There is an instruction available on the leaflet provided on every table how to mix the black bean sauce and the condiments on the table. So, any customer who orders Jya-Jya Men will be able to enjoy the noodle after mixing them in the right way. Noona still prefers the Korean rendition of black bean noodle though. 

The two hungry girls opted for three type of gyoza: Mentaiko Miso, Normal and Cheese flavoured gyoza. 

However, if you don't like your gyoza to be fanciful, you should really stick to the original flavour because it's "cleaner" in a way. Don't forget to use the special gyoza sauce to dip your dumpling into. 

The cheese gyoza turns out to be quite heavy on Noona's palette after a few bites of eating this gyoza with the garlic fried rice. Pouring chili powder on it kinda helps to fight the "too much" taste though. Spicy taste is the solution to make any food taste better for any Indonesian living in this world. Hahahaha. 

Gyozaya is located at:

At the moment, only tiramisu ice cream is available but it seems that there will be other things like tiramisu cake & beverage. The price tag for the tiramisu ice cream is the same for all flavors, SGD 6.90. 

Since this is our first time here, we decided to stick with the original flavour. The amount of the ice cream given is quite generous and we could feel the taste of the rum inside the ice cream. However, the powder can make you coughing if you are not careful. Hahaha. Too bad, there are no seats available so you can only have the tiramisu ice cream to-go.

There used to be a very very long queue when Masizzim has just opened in Singapore. Few months down the road, Noona does not have to queue at all to secure a table for two in Masizzim. Daebak! 

As Masizzim specialises in stew, Noona and her dinner buddy ordered a pot of Korean chicken stew for 1-2 pax portion. We ordered the smallest portion not because we are small eater obviously.

More like it's because we want to order more stuff (and thus, eat more) like this big plate of Pajeon (re: Korean spring onion pancake). Whenever you order Korean pancake in any establishment, do note that most likely the pancake is big. Bigger than your face, even. So yeah, order reasonably. LOL.

Both the chicken stew and the spring onion pancake tastes yummy. Noona is a Korean food lover so she likes the kimchi taste in the stew. While pajeon cannot go wrong, especially when dipped in the black sauce. Yum yum yum!

Masizzim is located at the level B3 of 313 Somerset right next to Chir Chir. 

It opens everyday from 11AM to 10PM (Fri and Sat to 11PM).
