Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen - A little crampy
![]() |
I have been wanting to include Japanese restaurants into this supposedly dessert blog of mine ever since I changed my blog focus from cravescraze.blogspot.com to dessertingbeauty. I felt that it was quite a waste if I just left these pictures to rot in my hard disk, without sharing my personal opinions of my dining experiences. I shall only include Japanese cuisine since I am a fan of it and I find it closely related to beauty and zen which is still part of my blog focus. I shall start with Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen which is located at Novena Square 2, cramped into a small outlet space. Just like a small typical Japanese restaurant with the right ambiance where the voices of staff kept booming throughout. I felt slightly irritated by the noise level in this squeezy restaurant at first but my irritation was quickly dismissed upon the arrival of my food. |

I shared the gyoza with my friend and it was rather decent. Although slightly oily, the gyoza skin was really thin, resulting in it being less filling and more meaty. |

Another picture of the side dishes! I really love the pork belly and I foresee myself coming back again for their desserts if I had the chance and the company. |

Pineapple Tarts
![]() |
Chinese New Year is just around the corner and nothing excites me more than collecting 'hong baos' (Red packets with notes inside)! I have seen many bombardment of pineapple tart recipes of different variation appearing in many baking blog posts and I was tempted to just follow the crowd. I am considered a baker anyway, a newbie one to be exact. I searched the web randomly and landed on a blog called foodismylifeand here is the link of the recipe which I had followed. It was my first attempt baking pineapple tarts and it was a success. The recipe as follows: 500g pineapple fillings (I used Poon Huat's) 400g plain flour 1/4 tsp salt 2 tbs corn flour 63g icing sugar 250g unsalted butter (room temperature) 2 no.s egg yolks (40g) + 1 no. egg yolk (egg wash) 1 pcs of pineapple tart has 6g filling and 11g dough Total amount of pineapple tarts I made: 67 pcs Oven temperature: 200 Degrees Duration: About 15 mins Soft, crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth, buttery, fragrant, a bit sweet, proportion just right. |
