Monday FEAST

YEAH! It was a first feast after 2nd round of chemo. After looking at reviews from hungrygowhere.com I decided to give Tetsu a try! Tetsu specialises in tonkatsu, which is a deep fried breaded pork cutlet. I tried the tonkatsu in Tokyo when I was there 2 years ago and the taste still haunt me till now. The one from Japan is SO SOFT AND SMOOTH! OMG! It's so heavenly and you just wonder how did the Japanese do it!?

And so after reading pretty good reviews from hungrygowhere (You can read the review here), I decided to give it a try as I was really craving for a proper piece of meat after 1 week of hospital food that can still make me nausea till now.

Tetsu is located in Tanglin Mall, 3rd floor. The deco is really beautiful, made up of mainly wood and has a really nice enclosed area for diners of 4 to 8. Really good for groups of friends to go.

I had Rosu Katsu, which was recommended by hunrgygowhere reviewers


While my mum has the duck noodles


Personally, I think the Rosu Katsu is too over hyped. It is too hard for my liking and is definitely no way near as nice as the one I had in Japan. In fact, I can't really remember if the Rosu katsu in Tonkichi is better or not. Maybe I should pay Tonkichi a visit soon.

My mum's noodles, on the other hand, is DELICIOUS! The noodles is a little like udon but not as hard. it's really soft and chewy and full of taste! I will definitely order that when I go back to Tetsu. Actually, their fried beef on a stick is also pretty good. The batter is soft and crispy and fried just nicely. :)

And after main, we had dessert, Japanese green tea mochi!


This mochi is unlike any mochi I had eaten before! It is so soft and chewy. The softness is just nice and the green tea fragrance and sweetness is just nice. Extremely delicious!

Hehe, overall I would recommend my friends to give it a try. But the next time I go, I am sure I will order noodles instead and had ala carte fried stuff instead.

PostNote: I know some people feel that you shouldn't eat fried stuff after chemo, but seriously, I feel that we can eat everything, just in moderation and don't over binge it. Cos this meal left me extremely happy for hours to come. ^_^
