Ebisboshi Shotengai is a japanese food street located at Iluma @ Bugis. It's a collection of 7 japanese restaurants under one roof with a common menu and sitting area. Similar to Marche. The deco of the place is interesting and very jap like. And they have an innovative way of ordering food --> pointing a sensor at the menu. But it'll be a nightmare for people with technology phobia. With H1N1 fear, I don't really fancy the idea of holding on to a sensor used by many hands!
The menu looked great but the food was a disappointment. We ordered a mini ramen + mini fried rice set set costing $14.80. The fried rice served was cold. Not refrigerator type of cold but as if it's been left out in the open for some time. I told the waitress about it and she brought it back to the kitchen. A while later they served the same bowl of rice (we recognized coz we sprinkled chili powder on it) piping hot, even the whole plate was hot! Must have used a microwave, how else to explain a hot plate? The rice tasted ordinary. Despite it being a kani chahan (crab fried rice), we could hardly find any crab meat. The crab stick was cut into such tiny pieces, one wouldn't have known it's a crab fried rice.
The mini ramen wasn't that good. Tasted like instant ramen. Next we ordered 2 taiyaki (pancake in form of fish with red bean fillings). It was served cold too. I rejected it and requested for warmer ones. Tasted good but not worth for money. The jap ice dessert was good though.
The bill for the mini set, 2 pancakes & 1 ice dessert added up to $26.80. Definitely not worth the money! It's such a disappointing experience, my bf & I decided we'll not be back again.
