Foodie Times Tsujiri @ Tanjong Pagar 100AM

Continued my eating spree in the lunch hours. The hot weather forced us to seek shelter in the airconditioned shopping mall @ 100AM. Came to this store  Tsujiri  which take prides in bringing the best quality green tea (matccha). Majority of their items are beverages but the roll cake caught my attention.  Hojicha Roll Cake Ever since I tried Hojicha, everything related to Hojicha will immediately get my attention. If I remembered correctly, there was a label saying this roll cake is a limited quantity item. I bought it almost immediately.  A plus factor for the roll cake, it came with (I assumed) matccha whip cream and red bean. It helped to "up" the roll cake's value. Cake texture is compact.

The presence of Hojicha is minimal.   Cost : Approx.  $5+  (Can't remember the exact cost) Quantity : Good Visual:  Good  Location : Around 10 minutes wa

Had to decide on the spot between the 2 set as they need to prepare. With a price difference of $1, I opted for the Special set which had prawn, chicken on top of the pumpkin, baby corn, etc etc which I remembered from the internet menu it was priced at $13.90. We were given a seat at the corner table and ordered green tea. With no menu found anywhere, I just assumed green tea would be the least pricey drink.  This bowl of cabbage was the free flow side served in Tendon Ginza Itsuki. Seemed pretty similar to normal cabbage, not spicy or sour just mild sweet and crunchy at room temperature or slightly cold and mixed with other vegetables. I had a small serving of this and stopped to save space for the main dish later. After waiting for roughly 10-15 mins, our food came... Th
