Imagine a caucasian wearing kimono or a japanese girl with blonde hair & blue eyes. That was my very first impression when I stepped into Shokudo. Tapping on the dining concept of the ever famous Marche Movenpick, Shokudo's move to translate it into Japanese style certainly excites me.
Like any bazzar-style restaurant, you'll be given a meal card to order food from each stall, which I find it abit troublesome. Heck, I'm getting lazier and lazier nowadays, I just wanna get seated and wait for the restaurant crew to serve me and bring food to my table.
Bar none, it was quite fun walking around and get to see the way the crew prepares the food (pathetically slow actually). Shokudo is divided into a number of sections and territories, from sashimi & sushi counter to ramen section, tempura stall and dessert corner etc...
We had the Sashimi Moriawase at $ 15. Fair enough, the fresh cut was pretty impressive for that kind of pricing. A good try.
As usual, the ramen fanatic can't leave a Japanese restaurant without having a bowl of ramen, no matter how bad it tastes. The verdict for this bowl of Char Siew Ramen? Bet you can tell from the look.
I finished my macha float till the last drop but I was not done yet. I continued my journey of indulgence with another 2 scoops of Azuki Macha and Black Sesame from Ministry of Food. True bliss...I mean my ice-cream. A revisit to Shokudo? Hmmm...

Bet you can tell from the look.Yes I admit am a rice barrel. I went for their Katsu Curry Rice ($7.80). The curry flava was not memorable but at least it fares better than that bowl of ramen.
This plate of Unagi Tamago ($5.80) got me waited for quite some time. *Eyes rolled* I wonder why it took so long for him to cook an egg.
The gyoza ($5) was condemned by Mr. Ramen for being loaded with MSG. My only complaint was the stingy filling for that kind of pricing.
Heh heh...finally the highlight of the meal -- my Macha Float. Priced at $4, the scoop of macha ice cream came floated in a sea of macha latte & crushed ice.

The novelty to walk around and see what you can get .. is a great way to get ppl to come back and try other stuff. i keep forgetting that you are in singapore now.. and keep thinking the prices your wrote were in ringgit.. ;) now i understand.. why Mr Ramen thought the gyoza was ex. It certainly was..!
I passed by this place and wanted to go in but :-( my boy boy was still full. Good concept isn't it? Someone should do it here.
xiu long bao,
Among all the dishes you show here, I am only attracted to the Japanese Gelato. haha! Perhaps, I desperately want some dessert. Ahhhh...maybe I'll go for a McDonald Sundae Cone later. :P
wah really a direct change of cuisine from marche..looks all the part..
yeah the ramen looked kinda sad..no pizza??
The two things which caught my impression are the matcha float and the sashimi.
Ramen looks pathetic and the curry katsu looks like the one served in my school canteen =X
But the concept is interesting!~
Japanese gelato? *eyes glowing*
No okonomiyaki??? Mmm...wish there was a place like this here.
yin and yang, blonde and brunette, ministry of food and ministry of sound, extraordinary concept and ordinary food....
I am so going to SG soon!
Wah, Raffles City, quite atas wor. Makes me want to go to Singapore again. Ok, maybe will go on Ruth's birtday in August. kekeke.
Haha ... I laughed so loud when I read that you're a "rice barrel". Incidentally, I am one too. How typical huh....
lolz..i thought that i was marche by just looking at the pictures..noted, will skip this
The whole concept is just so very the cool leh. I concur with ImbiNItchy... someone should so do it here. Preferably in PJ. The Curve. So I don't have to drive. Far.
Lol.... Malas-nye...
mama bok:
haha...actually it's quite fun exploring the stalls around. The gyoza was certainly not worth the price lor, big NO-NO.
imbi & itchy:
The concept is impressive but not the food. How sad....Yeah, i reckon someone should bring this concept over to msia.
kok:

Marche concept is nice, but wouldnt it be nicer if its buffet style? so u dun have to count your $$$? hehe ...
omg I din know abt the place! erm..actually the egg does take some time to cook : P
I'd been to Marche once.I only loved the ice cream XD Movenpick ma...cheaper back then with more vanilla beans in the ice cream.
can see the gelato is very the premium. lolz...
with all the food u had. Do have much/any left at the end of the month? :P
this is such a heaven! Jap marche definately something new for me! kinda disappointed with the swiss marche in KL. wish there is Jap Marche in kl~ ^.^
j2kfm:
True enough. Btw, the amt of money that i paid is enough to pay for buffet. Talk bout expensive jap food!
cokeworld citizen:
I think this is a new establishment gua. Yalor, had too much good food. M0-mo money d :p
aiwei:
Guess this concept will be brought into msia soon. Definitely a jap food heaven, quality aside.
