21st August 2015.
Now that work has started, Fridays is something to really
look forward to. My colleague and I wandered around aimless for while after
rushing for a submission on the preceding days and ended up at Hanare, a sister eatery of the Japanese restuarant, Teppei.
HANARE JAPANESE CAFE
The Bara Chirashi (17.90 SGD nett) comes with huge chunks of
sashimi and free flow of rice, miso soup as well as side dishes. Considering
the value for money, Hanare’s offer is almost unbeatable. However, I wasn’t
thoroughly impressed by the food but it was nonetheless enjoyable, the café wasn’t
too crowded and the portions are just right if not generous.
After dinner, we walked down to Ann Siang Hill where many
have gone for drinking on a Friday night. We opted for an unusual brew at a
hole-in-the-wall café named the Stamping Ground. Tucked into a corner of the entrance
to the Emerald Ground, the Stamping Ground brings fond memories of the
hole-in-the-wall cafes in Kyoto.
I had a White Cold Brew (7.00 SGD nett) which is chilled
coffee with a rather mild flavour and accurately “smooth & silky” for
texture as described in the label. Most importantly, the people at the Stamping
Ground are up for a nice conversation while you enjoy your coffee which
reminded me of those izakaya moments in Japan, it is just like walking into a
Shinya Shokudo (深夜食堂) scene.
The Stamping Ground is a nice place indeed.
