*click on photo to zoom!Hi all,
lately i went down to takashimaya's basement for a walk, after some window shopping. And i went to Aji Tei for some bites and dessert.
I'm sure for those who frequent here would know that usually at dinner time, there will be a snaking queue forming from the entrance to all the way back. Usually this is the time when i will stare at the colourful plastic displays of their mouth-watering desserts and think to myself "when will i get to eat those?" lines...repeating thru my little brain.
today is the day then!
i went in with mr goh. it's our virgin visit here! And according to some recommendations by friends, we tried the chicken mentai and tofu mentai.
They come in small hotplates and just nice for one. The tofu mentai has this pink hue together with the cheese topping. Later i found out that this pink hue is a fish roe! It's abit gooey, but the rubbery cheese makes a terrific contrast combi with the soft tofu. I lurve this dish!
The chicken mentai was nothing special, taste like your normal "katsu don" without rice. Little oil. Egg and onions.Quite healthy.
Next the desserts:
The sales rap recommended the Mango Anmitsu ($6.80).
For those who are just as clueless like me...Anmitsu is a traditional Japanese dessert that has been popular for decades. It is made of small cubes of agar jelly, a white translucent jelly made from red algae or seaweed. The agar is dissolved with water or fruit juice to make the jelly and it's usually served with azuki bean paste or anko and a variety of fruits. In this case it was mango. In ours, we found a few kinds of jelly. One was quite chewy, liken to those found in bubble teas. Another was like nata de coco but it wasn't sweet. And another was really soft! which was my fave!
Macha Parfait ($7.80):
This one is GOOD! the macha ice cream was just nice, wasnt too strong or light. The cornflakes went so well with the cream too! And topped with peach slices and macha warabi mochi, macha jelly and a very traditional sugar wafer! LURVE IT!!!!
*okie, prices vary cos i have a short term memory!
