Nana’s Green Tea @ The Gardens

BB’s old LG mobile phone was dying rapidly the previous month, so BB ordered a new MI3 from China. After an excruciating long wait (a whole month), the new phone was finally delivered.

To celebrate the new phone arrival, the Bears headed to the always full-house Nana’s Green Tea (30th Sept).

Always packed, wonder why…..

The Bears ordered two main dishes, each for themselves, and a cup of drink.

Teriyaki Chicken Rice with miso soup (if not wrong) – Taste was normal, nothing really special.

Chicken Karaage Curry Udon – udon was soft, not chewy, the taste of curry was normal, but less sweet than other Japanese curry, spiciness was near zero..

The only drink that the Bears ordered,

Red bean + milk blend (forgot its name) – quite good actually as it is less sweet than expected, much better than the main dishes but quite pricey…. This drink can be found in the Bears’ hometown, much thicker and traditional, and at a fraction of the price.

WB also was treated to a drink by a coworker a few weeks after her first visit. This time WB tried the following,

Red Bean soup with Macha Ice Cream and Shiratama – Sweet red bean soup + bitter macha = good combination, but the ice cream melted a bit too fast.

Macha Ice Cream and Shiratama on Macha Frappe – quite bitter as the whole cup was macha, but it was quite refreshing though.

After two visits, WB could not vouch for the food served, as they are quite normal tasting. However, the desserts and drinks are quite special, they are worth a try 🙂

Sakae Sushi @ Mines Shopping Fair

White Bear knows this post is long overdue but still it needs to be recorded down.
On 7th of September the bears visited Sakae Sushi for dinner,
after going around and around in Mines with no idea where to have their dinner.

They sat down in Sakae and ordered some rice,
as they are not keen on trying the sushi creation here as the last
time they visited, it wasn’t that nice.

So these are the items the bears ordered,

Curry Chicken Don
Verdict : Brown bear favourite, surprisingly nice, worth it.

Teriyaki Chicken Don
Verdict : Lots of onions, tasted very Chinese,
but it was also surprisingly nice

Being bears, how could they leave without ordering some Salmon!

Nice fresh salmon slices!
Love the golden plate, really want to sneak it home!

Proof that this IS Sakae Sushi!

Overall, it was quite nice, the bears might be tempted to be back again,
but they still prefer Zanmai, not really sure why…
