I think I gotta start watching my diet with all the pigging out that I do. Recently checked out 2 restaurants that were reviewed in 8 Days. Here are the pictures:

-Charly T's. I don't really think Charly T is a real person though. Located next to The Cathay cinema, the place is kinda quiet but looks abit 'atas'. I shared the whole chicken with X and was amazed that he ate more than 2 thirds of it. The chicken is tender and juicy, it really melts off the bone so it saves you the trouble of cutting through it too vigorously. As for their sides, I liked the butter garlic rice and the mac-&-cheese. *Yum*



-Ramen Santouka @ Central. This place was rated no.1 for their ramen in this week's 8 days so I had to give it a try! The Tokusen Toroniku Shio Ramen (second pic)comes with 'pork cheek' meat that's really soft but to me it was kinda pricey @ $19.50. Their noodles are pretty good, but I also recommend Miharu @ Gallery Hotel, which was ranked 3rd by 8 Days.

Ippudo Ramen has also been getting rave reviews & I've tried their pre-packaged noodles from Japan which X bought for me. What I got from cooking at home was quite tasty so I'm itching to try the ramen at their restaurant here in Mandarin Gallery. But word of the long queues has put me off for the time being. So I prefer to wait til the hype settles.
