I was at Great World City today & saw a poster for the restaurant's paper wrapped chicken. It looked appetising enough, so we went there for lunch.

We ordered 3 of their dishes - prawn vermicelli (dong fen) in claypot ($16.80), potato leaves in XO sauce ($9.80) & the paper wrapped chicken ($16.80).

Although their prices don't look that attractive at first glance, you'll be pleasantly surprised by their relatively large portions & the quality of the food.

The prawn vermicelli came chockful of large, succulent prawns. It was a little spicy, a little salty, & overall, whetted the appetite for the other delicious dishes to come.

Potato leaves in XO sauce was fragrant & possessed enough of the "wok hei", & even though we were stuffed by this time after finishing the huge chicken, we were reluctant to leave any behind & cleaned out the plate.

The chicken doesn't look as appetising compared to the other 2, but you'll be surprised at how juicy, tender & delicious it is. The gravy is flavourful & tastes strongly of herbs. It comes with a generous sprinkling of wolfberries.

All-in-all, superb value for the rather generous portions of meat & seafood, & the refined cooking. Plus, you get to dine in airconditioned comfort, with pretty nice furnishings to boot! Oh, I mustn't forget to commend the service, which was wonderful compared to other chinese restaurants.

    Restoran Todak (Orang Asli)

    My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out! Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers. Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

    Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

    I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine
    CyberTron commented..
    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.
