Nazimi, Cre Asion and Citisuper Benkei Crepes

Hai all! Today, I''m gonna squish 3 small posts together D: You may have noticed that I did that for my last post as well. Since I have a hugeeeee backlog of posts waiting in the harddrive, I'm trying to declog and merging small posts into one. This will also benefit you, my precious reader, because you can experience 3 different foodgasms instead of one. Sounds cool? Then lets begin!

So I started the day with lunch at Nazimi...which makes me chortle every time I think about it because of MissPiggy's post...*cough adult shop cough*.

Nazimi

Edamame $4.80

Boiled fresh green soybeans with a sprinkle of sea salt.

 
Tempura Prawn $9.80

Deep fried king prawn served with handmade dashi sauce. The tempura came out a bright golden yellow and super crunchy with the prawns juicy inside.

Agedashi Soft Shell Crab $9.80

Crispy soft shell crab with agedashi tofu. Awesome combination, especially when you want to eat both of them but can't fit two full serves in your stomach.

 
Aburi Sushi $12.80

A selection of lightly grilled sushi with negi and mayonnaise.


Cre Asion

After lunch, I saw that it was 3:40pm. It is rare for me to be in Townhall at this hour so I dashed to Cre Asion for some delicious macarons.

Macarons Galore

Cranberry Macarons

I arrived at Cre Asion 10 minutes before closing so most of the more popular and exotic flavours such as yuzu and plum wine were sold out already :(

The macarons are small and a bit pricey ($2.70 ea) but they sure taste good.  The first time I went, the macarons were 14 for $30 but the second time, they jacked up the price to 16 for $40 >-< boo!

I bought 14 macarons but there were only 10 different flavours left.

 
Box of Happiness 14 for $30 (now 16 for $40)

Macaron Stack

The flavours I had were uh...cranberry, blood orange, green tea, dark chocolate, salted caramel, lemon, vanilla, pistachio, dear chris and red bean (not in order of the stack).

Citisuper Benkei Japanese Crepe

On my way back to the QVB, I grabbed a Japanese crepe at Benkei.

Citisuper Japanese Crepe

The crepes at Benkei are really cheap and delicious. For only $4.50, you'll get a massive crepe filled with fruit, whipped cream, sauce, a chocolate wafer stick and topping of your choice. Add another $1.50 and you can add a scoop of icecream too!

Strawberry Crepe in the making

Array of toppings

 
Strawberry Crepe $4.50

My strawberry crepe jam packed with strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, chocolate wafer stick and hundreds and thousands sprinkles :D

I had a pretty good meal at Nazimi, will like to go back to try more dishes. I must admit to me macarons are overpriced and overrated... I'd happily indulge in that Japanese crepe, though.

Are you SURE you didn't have lunch at the adult shop - hmmmm? I had no idea Nazimi did Agedashi Soft Shell Crab - now I need to go back.

Would you go back to Cre Asion - now that the prices are higher???

The agedashi soft shell crab looks delicious and the tempura prawns so fluffy and crispy! Looks like you've made sure of some sweet and happy ending to this savoury meal :) :)

Ah so having a multiple food-gasm isn't a myth after all! Sounds like a great foodie day, soft shell crab, sushi and that awesome portable crepe are the standouts for me.
