I ♥ Ootoya Clementi

Since the day we stepped into Ootoya Clementi, we fell in love with the restaurant, and it became one of our favorite spots. Even better thing is it's so near our school! Just 10 minutes or so away by bus. Clementi Mall also has almost everything you need, in terms of grocery and daily needs shopping. 
Simply lovely! 

Main entrance of Ootoya Clementi

it's right next to Crystal Jade on the floor where it's connected to MRT (not sure whether it's called first or second floor). It's somewhat hidden, so you have to get in there. You can see this from Starbucks which is in the center.

Beware of the operating hours! Typical one.

When you just step in, this is what you will see.

Rather pleasant, clean looking place. 

If you sit in the tatami area, you can also see what goes inside the kitchen!

Green tea here is good! It's only $1 and refillable. They have choice of hot and cold.

Moving on to menu!

Definitely one of our favorites!

It's set meal. Yea, the portion's not huge :(

Rice and miso soup are refillable and you can choose different rice. Multi grain rice is free and refillable!

This kind of hotpots are quite popular. I also tried zosui and it was good! (if you are fine with homey taste)

It was quite good. Portion is soso. 

This one's also not so bad. Traditional Japanese taste, according to bf. For this one, a la carte will do! Torotoroni is the soup I think. You may have to check with the waiter.

Before you start eating, warm chawanmushi can be soothing. $3 is also affordable though it's not big.

I loooove this!!! I don't care about beer, but on weekday dessert is buy one free one!! Even more, if you order one $7 and another $6, it will be counted as $6!!!

Number one dessert here!! We've tried almost everything, and this definitely tops it all!

You scoop mousse, whip cream, banana ice cream and red bean together! Super duper yum!!

Closer to real color

This one's second best. I don't know, at least for me, I don't like anything else apart from these two.

It can be quite eggy so if you hate such taste, maybe you won't like it. But definitely worth giving a try! You may be surprised :)

Yummm~

Some other desserts.. If you like parfe, maybe you will like this one. Not bad. Just don't feel like coming back here just for this one.

Somehow couldn't rotate the pictures. In terms of taste, it's definitely worth it, but in terms of portion.. Well, typical Japanese I'd say.

Anyways, have fun at Ootoya!
