At the cross junction of Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road is a restaurant with 3 shops joined together under the same roof: Awfully Chocolate, Mooshi Bakes and the Japanese-inspired Joo Joo Kushiyaki.

位于如切路和东海岸路的交界处有一家集合了三个品牌于一体的的餐馆:Awfully Chocolate, Mooshi Bakes and the Japanese-inspired Joo Joo Kushiyaki。

Young and energetic staff welcomed us the moment we stepped in from the side entrance. The cafe is comfortably spaced out, with clean white walls and simple wood furnishings.

一踏进餐馆,迎面而来的是年轻富有朝气的服务生。
再看一下餐馆内的环境,明亮洁白的墙壁、木制餐桌之间有足够的空间,给人舒服的感觉。


The place was still quite empty when we reached there.
这时候还没什么人潮。我们的位子是餐馆最里面的角落。

After we settled down at the innermost corner of the cafe, the crowd started to come in. We realised there were two different groups of customers. From around 7+pm till close to 9pm, the crowd consisted mainly of students and youngsters. And after 9pm, we observed that there was a total change of crowd. The patrons consisted mainly of families, and more matured couples who came in mainly for desserts.

等我们点完菜抬起头来后,发现座位几乎全满了。
我们注意到这里在不同时段里有不同的顾客群。接近九点之前,来的主要都是学生和年轻人。过了九点之后,完全换了另一批较成熟一点的顾客以及有小孩的家庭,好像都是为吃甜点而来的。


Back to the menu, it’s pretty straightforward.

Kishiyaki Set for 2 ($36.90++):
There were 4 of us, but we intended to try some other food, so we decided to just share a set for 2.

回到菜单,选择方面还不会太复杂。除了几种个人套餐之外,还有两人或四人套餐满足我们这些想品尝多样化食物的顾客。


Clam Broth 味噌蛤蜊汤


Creamy Miso Soup with Pork Belly
JAF personally like this soup, the taste is something out of the ordinary.

奶油味噌汤,里头还有小片的三层肉。
找食趣喜欢这汤的口感,味道独特。

Food was served real fast. Within few minutes, almost all the food were out on the table. After taking pictures of the soups, JAF friends were too hungry and eager to wait for JAF to finish taking the pictures…ONE against THREE, that was really a tough fight! JAF could only surrender…hence, very limited photos available… :(

我们点的菜陆续上桌,眨都没眨一眼,几乎所有的菜都来齐了!不是吧,找食趣都还来不及拍完照片,这上菜的速度也未免太快了吧!
看着眼前那么多的菜,朋友们抵不住美食,等找食趣拍完汤的照片后,就“刻不容缓” (找食趣觉得用这个成语形容是再恰当不过了)开始动手又动口。
所以,各位读者们,找食趣由衷地感到抱歉,这次没法子完成任务,将照片完整送上。悲哉!

Items: garlic rice wrapped around by a fairly large piece of seaweed, crispy chicken skin, chicken thigh with tare, quail eggs wrapped with pork belly, shitake with tare, salmon belly and miso soup…
One of the items (salmon belly) listed was not available, so we got to replace it with a Grilled Beef Tendon with House Dressing.

两人份套餐包括味噌汤、蒜蓉饭、脆鸡皮,串烧则有鸡腿肉、三层肉卷鹌鹑蛋、日本蘑菇、三文鱼腩。
其中三文鱼腩卖完了,我们以炭烧牛筋取代。


Prawn with Indian spices served with Okra.
Okra” is actually another name for lady’s fingers. The prawns are ok, but JAF favoured the okra more.

用印度香料烹调出的羊角豆佐大虾。虾肉过得去,不过找食趣喜欢的反而是处理得很可口的羊角豆。
小知识:羊角豆的别名是“秋葵”(Okra)。

Besides the Kishiyaki set, we ordered 2 other dishes.


Japanese Chargrilled Cha-Siu Don ($13.90). The pork belly is not too bad.

日式叉烧饭。三层肉味道不错。


Medium-done Ribeye Steak Set ($18.90)

七分熟肋眼牛排套餐。


JAF and friends concluded that the steak was the best among all that we had eaten.

我们一致认为牛排是这一顿当中最好吃的了。

Overall, JAF and friends think that food served here is quite decent and tasty but a little too much on the salty side.

总的来说,这里的食物都相当不错,只是偏咸,吃多了就会觉得怎么一样比一样咸啊?

After dinner, getting some desserts from either Awfully Chocolate or Mooshi Bakes proved to be too irresistible.

和Joo Joo一起属于同一个老板的Awfully Chocolate 以及 Mooshi Bakes 一直不停地向我们“招手”,我们又怎能抵御得了如此的诱惑呢?


This has a cute name: Gooey.
It’s soft and creamy. For those who love cinnamon, this is the dessert for you.

这道甜点的名字很可爱:Gooey.
喜欢桂皮口味的朋友一定要试一试。


Mooshi Cream Puff ($3.90)

奶油泡芙外皮松软,里面是奶馅,甜而不膩。


Drinks wise, can try this which mixes green tea and lime together. Both hot and cold are available. ($3.20)

想喝点什么的话,可以试一试这杯混合绿茶和青柠的饮料。冷、热任你选。

3 inch sin 三寸的诱惑

This shop has been opened for around 3 months by a brother and sister team, Kevin and Celine Yeo.
由姐弟组合一起经营的这家甜品店开张已经有差不多三个月了。

The main colour here is orange, which makes the place bright and cheerful.
简单的装潢,配以亮丽的橙色,让小小的空间很阳光。

Interesting presentation of menu on a baking tray.
以烤盘的形式带出菜单,有创意。

The main product here is the molten chocolate cake with 2 sizes: 3-inch size and mini size.
这里的主角是熔融巧克力蛋糕,分“三寸”版本和“迷你”版本。

With 8 flavours of fillings to choose from you are definitely spoilt for choice!
蛋糕里面的馅有八种不同的口味任你选择哦。除了原味巧克力的,还有薄荷、酸橙、咖啡、榛子、山莓、花生酱和白巧克力。

The lady below was adding in our different choices of fillings. It’s fun to watch how the molten chocolate cake is being prepared on the spot.
熔融巧克力蛋糕是现做即吃的。找食趣觉得这里的卖点之一是可以直接看到熔融巧克力蛋糕的制作过程。

Fresh from the oven! 新鲜出炉了!

Raspberry flavour 山莓口味

Peanut Butter flavour 花生酱口味

We ordered 2 sets of 3 mini molten chocolate cakes, and because there were 6 different flavours of fillings, we enjoyed the little surprise each time our spoons broke through each mini molten cake’s outer crust.

如果选择点迷你熔融巧克力蛋糕,可以一次过尝试最少三种不同的口味。小小的乐趣就来自每一次破开蛋糕外壳的一刹那,再将蛋糕放入嘴后的感觉。
熔融巧克力蛋糕…不多也不少,正好是三寸的诱惑,让你欲罢不能,躲也躲不了!
