The Cajun King - Your Cutlery is your Hands Concept

Located Just Beside the Famous Wimbly Lu Cafe, The Cajun King did not catch my eye at first when I headed over to Wimbly Lu for desserts, But as I exited, I could not help but peep through its glass doors to see what was this shop about. Naming themselves The Cajun King, should they be really good with their Cajun Dishes like the more common Cajun Chicken and Cajun Fries, But I was wrong. They serve up pretty well Seafood in A Bag, Yes, you did not read it wrongly, It's SEAFOOD IN A BAG.

I like the feeling of the interior, Cosy warm lights and wooden tables gives me a feeling that I have stepped into a Seafood Shack located near the coastal sides. I always had a bias to Chalkboard Menus, or Chalkboard art although half the time I try really hard to decipher what's written on them. lol.

It was a Full House and I got the Table Top / Bar Top seat, near to the kitchen. Each Customer is given a plastic bib with their Logo printed on it, to prevent all the juices from the fresh seafood from getting on to our clothes. And "weapons" like wooden hammers would be provided to customers who are having Crabs.

Simple Menu which has both sides to it. Me and my companions decided on the TCK Combo - $65

 and it included a Cajun Fries and we chose Green Lip Mussels, with Butter Garlic Sauce. 

The Cajun Fries were flavourful on its own and the dip was surprisingly refreshing to my taste bud as it had a citrusy taste to it which I really enjoy.

Hightlight of the table, The TCK COMBO that of course came in not 1 but 2 thick Plastic Bag, holding all the yummy seafood, sausages and Corn and the aromatic Butter Garlic swept me off my feet the moment it landed on my table. We were given a huge piece of Wax paper to line our table, so just in case we wanted to pour out the contents of the bag on the table and feast, we could.

Each piece of seafood was a delight and I finished off most of the prawns as my companions finished off the corn and Mussels. I took a bite of the corn and it was really sweet, and fully infused with the garlic butter sauce which left me regretting why I did not like corn from the beginning of time in my life. lol.

I would definitely recommend The Cajun King to everyone who loves Seafood and would love to dine in a cosy environment where everyone can enjoy good seafood and have a little beer, and maybe hop over next door for some really good waffle with maple syrup to end up the dinner with a sweet touch.

[F.T] Ramen Champion New Introduction to the Family

Since it started in 2011, the ULTIMATE RAMEN CHAMPION competition has established itself to be a favorite amongst lovers of Japanese cuisine. Over 13 brands have participated and the spirit of competition has brought about the desire to produce high-quality and good-tasting ramen to the delight of ramen lovers everywhere.

Currently one of the largest ramen operations in Singapore, it has served over a million satisfied customers from its 2 outlets in Changi Airport and Bugis+, with new outlet at Great World City opening in early November 2013. Despite its success, Ramen Champion still continues to strive to provide for the best in order to satisfy the cravings of its customers.

This Year, Ramen champion came up with a Ramen Big Eater Challenge, which is part of Food Challenge Asia Championship which involves Ramen Champion branches in Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. Eight lucky participants will be selected during the qualifying round on 2 October 2013 to take part in the final challenge against renowned big eater Tomoko Miyake on 14 November 2013. In the qualifying round, participants will compete based on the number of bowls of ramen that they can consume from the new Tonkotsu brands, Mendokoro Aoi and Tonkotsu Itto from Japan.

So who are these 2 New Ramen Contenders added to the Ramen Champion Family, Tonkatsu Itto and Mendokoro Aoi?

Deemed as the new generation of Tonkotsu ramen, armed with flashy red light-box signage, Mendokoro Aoi is a popular joint with a large following of female customers. Chef Kazuo Sakuraoka’s secret formulated broth is light and does not contain the smell of pork bones. The Light Broth will allow anyone who dislikes the strong taste of pork to enjoy a decent bowl of ramen and the tantalising pork belly swimming in it.

Tonkotsu-Ramen Champion - $16.50

Also known as a Cha Shu Salad if you cant pronounce the name of the dish like I did. 

Tender Pieces of Cha Chu with Melty Pieces of Fat layered between, paired with the unique sauce and the crisp vegetables, its a pleasure to savour it.

Chashu Carpaccio - $7.00

Garlic Butter Potato - $5.00 

Deep-fried Tofu with Japanese Sauce - $4.00

All of the above is from Mendokoro Aoi..

In contrast, Tonkotsu Itto chooses to remain true to the traditional style of Tonkotsu. Owned by Tokyo’s number 1 ramen shop, Menya Itto, this is the establishment’s first overseas outlet. Its Broth is Full on Flavour and with the Generous pieces of Cha Shu that practically hangs themselves over the edge of the bowl, I love this bowl more. But I could not imagine myself competing in the Big Ramen Eater Championship and swallowing too many of this goodness at 1 go. ><

Special Tonkotsu Ramen - $16.50

The Popular Choice in Ramen Champion, Recommended by Fellow Blogger Gin Wong, Was Buta God's Yakiniku Ramen. Not Beef But Pork Yakiniku. Flavourful broth that's sweet and the thinly sliced meat was cooked to a tender finish. the Broth was full but also sweet from the Yakiniku I guess, A little over powering for me but fellow blogger Gin Wong Loved it to bits.

Yakiniku Ramen - Buta 

Sukiyaki Bun - $3 each

So, Be sure to catch the Final Round of the Big Ramen Eater Competition as watch them battle it out against the petite Miss Tomoko Miyake ! It still shockes me at how much she can eat despite her body size. >< And Please do head over to Ramen Champion Outlets in Bugis+ Level 4 and give your vote to your Ramen Champion!

Final Round

Date: 14th November 2013 (Thursday)

Time: 3.00pm to 5.00pm

Bangkok Jam - The Dining Edition at Marina Square

Bangkok Jam, Upon Hearing the Name you would know 1. It serves up Thai Food. 2. It's Jamming with the Thai Music(or the bustling crowd). Haha. I love their Decorations more at their Plaza singapura Outlet but this Outlet in Marina Square is pretty unique itself. With World Clocks Hanging on the walls, I took the time while waiting for my food to look at each and everyone of them facing me.

I simply love my rice with any saucy meat dishes. This Aromatic Stir-Fried Minced Chicken was so good! Packed with enough flavour of Spiciness and Saltiness, Added Crunch with the chopped greens. Topped with a Flowly Yolk Sunny Side Up, I enjoyed every mouthful of my dinner.

Stir-Fried Minced Chicken with Basil Rice - $11.90

Phad Kra Prow Gai

While Everyone would Crave for Phad Thai Once in a while, this plate of phad thai does not look as good as it is, unfortunately. The Noodles were a little on the though side and the whole dish was too spicy for me and my dinner companion to handle. Although the Free Ice/Warm water did help to ease up the spiciness a little. But do not take my judgement for spiciness to gauge. I cant take spicy food for nuts know why, same goes to my companion.

Seafood Phad Thai - $11.90

Phad Thai Talay

Well, I would not Not visit Bangkok Jam with Judging with this 1 visit alone. I will definitely head back to try other dishes, maybe just not the Phad thai anymore. Being under the umbrella of CrEATive Eateries, They must be good as the other restaurants under them are pretty good themselves, naming a few like Suki-Ya, which serves up Japanese Steamboat Shabu Shabu and Xiao La Jiao, Serving up authentic Sze Chuan Dishes which will make you ponder why other Sze Chuan Cuisine Outlets keep serving nothing but spicy and more spicy food.
