Lots and lots of complimentary appetisers (with free refills!). Kimchi, potato salad (which I liked and ate lots), fresh lettuce with chilli sauce, boiled and season leafy vegetables, sweetened ikan billis, stewed potatoes, beansprouts, pancake and some preserved vegetable thing.I particularly liked the kimchi which wasn't too spicy, potato salad cos it's creamy and has crunchy apples and sweet canned peaches, beansprouts (I like how the Korean bean sprouts are from soya beans instead of the green beans), and pancake with chives (shouldn't have ordered my seafood pancake!).
For dinner (not too sure about lunch), they gave each diner a piece of salted steamed fish marinaded in a salty chilii sauce. All FOC. Impressive! (This, very understandably, isn't refillable).

Seafood pancake ($10), which I wouldn't have ordered if I had known that they'l be serving vegetable pancake as a starter. It's pretty packed with ingredients, and has a starchy feel to it (a bit like the ohr luak omelette). Its served with a slightly pungent fish sauce (I think).
Jajangmyeon($10) the Korean version of Zha Jiang Mian. The sauce is tarry black, and served over steaming hot noodles. The noodles are pretty good - chewy and springy, but there was hardly any pork in the sauce. There were lots of potatoes though, which made it a super carbo but protein lacking meal. 
Bibimbap ($12?)

Bibimbap ($12?)Rice with vegetables and meat served in a hot stone bowl. I changed the beef to chicken, and asked for the red sauce to be separated (cos I don't like it too salty). It has lots and lots of veggies, not bad but I was really full after eating the other dishes.
Cinnamon and ginger dessert drink, and a slice of watermelon completes a very affordable and filling meal. 
Cinnamon and ginger dessert drink, and a slice of watermelon completes a very affordable and filling meal. The next time I'm here, I'll definitely order something with more meat in it. Though I like my veggies, I thought that there was way too much veggies and too little meat in my meal. Perhaps I'll have the hot plate chicken the next time.
I really love the side dishes (grand total of 9 refillable dishes!) as well as the fish, and all of them are complimentary - value for money indeed. Though their main dishes aren't too expensive (prices around $10-15 ), I think that they lower their cost by giving less meat. However, I think it's still really good value for money since there's drinks, side dishes and dessert thrown in.
Though the restaurant was packed (had to queue for a table during dinnertime), the staff are pretty efficient and we got our food suprisingly quickly. I think part of their efficiency is also due to their clever idea of giving diners a tumbler of barley tea at the table, so that the waitresses can concentrate on taking orders, serving food and clearing dishes instead of being harrassed to refill the glasses.
Looks like this restaurant is set for success! And if the healthy watermelon isn't enough for dessert, one can always pop by Udders (which is just2 stalls away)

My last day of freedom before I go to the far east to become a slave for 4 weeks :/NOT looking fw to the food there!!
The cheapest bowl of prawn noodles is $2, but if you want pork with your prawn noodles, it's minimum $3. They don't have big prawns, so I suppose that the $5 bowl just has many small prawns. The prawn soup had a mild prawn taste, but was nothing to rave about.
My $5 big prawn noodles from the famous stall (Wah Kee, it has ieatishootipost's blogpost printed out right infront of the stall :P). I didn't enjoy my prawn noodles at all. I had it with kway teow (usually I get kway teow mee cos I don't really like the waxy taste of the yellow noodles, but that day someone was helping me order) and the kway teow was super weird - it was all fragmented, each piece not being more than an inch long, so it felt like I was eating semi solid food. On top of that, the soup was very very garlicky and didn't have a nice prawn taste. There were many small bits of whitish garlic floating around my soup. I probably caught them on an off day, but the soup was really very horrible that day. 
The soup version - $5. I was looking at 
Famous stall, with a mega long que during lunch.
I didn't think it was super fantastic when I was eating it, but now, looking at the picture and typing this post, I feel like buying another roll! :/ 
Foie gras pasta ($23) - this is artery clogging to the max. Fatty liver with buttery sauce is a lethal combination. It's definitely not the best foie gras I've tasted, but to give the chef credit, it's 2 fat pieces of foie gras, seared lightly. This was my favourite pasta for the night. I suppose that this would be really too rich to have all by yourself, but it's perfect for sharing.
The pasta that I wanted to order, but it wasn't available. I think their cheese wheel must have broken down.
Lobster Thermidor
An Egg? 
Lemon Meringue 
It was a great experience having progressive dining at Blu, especiall the 'An Egg?' dessert (which so suprised my grandmother, and she ate half the dessert even though she usually doesn't because she's very sugar conscious). And after this foie gras, I doubt that I would be able to eat most other foie gras. Personally, I thought that taste wise, I still prefer 
Kulfi ($3.70)
Like the last time, the cashiers were really patient with us taking a long time to decide and answering our many of questions (like is this dish spicy?). Saw quite a few tourists dining here during lunch - perhaps it's written up on some Lonely planet guide or Timeout or something?
So I decided not to waste space on my 
I also had the Steamed rice with Mutsu bay scallops and simmered tofu and chicken Torotoro set ($17++, 751 kcal).
Appetiser and side dish - some pickled Japanese cucumber with shredded ginger and a braised vegetable dish (the eggplant is great!).
I had the grated yam, tuna, natto and ladies finger appetiser ($6++, ~160kcal). It came with a half boiled egg. I quite liked this appetiser cos I like the cool and slimy grated yam and natto, but it's an acquired taste. I had 3 pieces of tuna in mine, but I couldn't really taste the tuna cos it was all covered in natto and yam.
I was so impressed with the fish, I had the Charboiled Alaskan Red Snapper ($13++, 141 kcal). Not bad, but the atka mackerel wins hands down.
The Charboiled sea bream ($13++, 186 kcal) was rather scrawny (maybe it's a more expensive fish?). At least the picture in the menu showed a smallish piece of fish, true to the real serving size.
Tofu salad - the tofu is nice and smooth - not sure if they make it themselves? I like those little fish things on top.
My Kyoto Uji Matcha green tea mousse nad milk ice cream with sweet Tokachi red bean paste ($6++, 303 kcal). The green tea mousse tastes very strongly of green tea, it's like having green tea concentrate. It's slightly bitter, but when eaten together with the milk ice cream and red bean paste it's pretty good. I don't particularly like red beans, but this one was pretty good. The azuki beans had a slight transluent look to them, and isn't like the normal pastey kind. The beans were all whole (no/few mushed up beans), sweet, and somehow reminded me of caramelized fruits.
The very 
The food came pretty quickly (but they missed one of our orders), and our tea cups and glasses weren't refilled most of the time. They should really consider investing in bigger glasses and teacups. Then again, the complimentary green tea they serve here is pretty good, especially the iced green tea, which doesn't taste thin and watered down.
