Ho Chi Minh Trip part 1 Nem Hoa Phuong restaurant

2012-02-01T11:21:00.001+08:00

Went HCM last year during New Year and recently got held up by my study, busy preparing for test and exam. Sigh... lolx

This restaurant I think is called Nem Hoa Phuong is directly opposite the hotel we staying called Blue Diamond Hotel located at 48 Thu Khoa Huan, Bến Thành, Ho Chi Minh City Prey Nokor, Vietnam. I had no idea what's the restaurant address because I can't read Vietnamese words lolx

We were super hungry after checking in so we just hop in to have our lunch. Ordered 2 soup noodle, fried rice and their local delights, Popiah.

Total bill come up to $40sg including drinks which I find it very expensive, not really worth it.

Address of the restaurant

Soak garlic, I love garlic this is nice it taste a little sour a little spicy :P

Cracker

Dripping coffee, a not to miss in Vietnam

Pork noodle soup, the soup look spicy but is not. The soup is very tasty, not oily and the noodle is very smooth which is very different from SG.

Fish Noodle Soup

Fried Rice

Popiah Set, I never expected it turn out to be like this, I mean DIY lolx

She is teaching us how to wrap

The wrap taste like paper it was very hard to chew but the filling that goes with their sauce was not bad.

Pekin Restaurant 北京海鲜楼（圣淘沙）

2011-12-27T16:11:00.000+08:00

Had a family dinner here over the Christmas holiday. This restaurant is quite well known in Johor area and this particular one we went to is next to a Ah Koong Noodle Restaurant. I guess driving here will be a little difficult if you don't know JB road well.

I didn't manage to take a look at their menu because all dishes are ordered by my brother. He came here often so I guess he knows what's nice here. He ordered Peking Duck, Herbal Chicken, Fried Rice, Fried Dong Fen (cellophane noodles), Hongkong Noodle, Cereal Prawn, Braised Pork Trotters and Red Bean Pancake.

Total bill come up to $315RM for 13 pax which is very worth it, food is nice and is definitely worth the return.

Both the Fried noodle is nice, is not oily and not too dry but kinda of too soft for my liking lox

Bottom left: Peking Duck - It don't look like Peking Duck to me because there is no wraps for us to go with it, anyway this whole duck is very tender and best of all is not dry and it is really cheap. I think the whole duck cost less than 50 RM and my sister husband almost wanted to pack one back to SG lolx

Bottom right: Herbal Chicken in foil - The sauce contains a little alcohol so I can't take much of this and is a little too salty but the chicken is very soft and tender and is a little too small to serve 13 pax lolx

Top left: Cereal Prawn - Cereal is fragrant and nice but prawn is dry and hard, what a pity

Bottom: Mixed vegetable - I think is french bean with brinjal, the vegetable is very fresh and the fried garlic make the whole dish very fragrant and nice

Top right: Braised Pork Trotters - Juicy, soft and the fats is so smooth and tender. If you don't mind the extra calories you got to try this dish

Bottom: Red Bean Pancake - I ate 4 pieces of this, is not so sweet is soft with slight crispness, so yummy lolx

Bao Gong XO Fish Head Bee Hoon

2011-11-24T14:43:00.000+08:00

My brother recommend us to this place to tried out their famous XO Fish Head Bee Hoon but too bad for me as I am allergy to alcohol so I just took a tiny sip. The milky soup is overwhelmed by the strong XO taste but it doesn't taste bitter but sweet. I took the sliced fish meat bee hoon without the XO, loved the milky soup which has nice fragrant smell of sesame oil and a touch of hua tiao jiu (chinese cooking wine). Instead of thinly sliced fish meat in the bee hoon they served chunk of fried fish meat. The fish is very fresh with no stinky fishy smell at all. But somehow I feel quite thirsty after drinking the soup.

We also ordered some side dish to go along, ngoh hiang (prawn roll), prawn paste chicken and cereal brinjal. Ngoh Hiang skin is slight crispy and goes well with the sweet sauce, Prawn paste chicken has always been my favourite but for this I find the prawn paste is not strong and fragrant enough. Cereal Brinjal? This is my first time tasting it and I am a person who don't fancy brinjal, I find it yucky

But this dish really suprise me, it taste like cereal prawn just that it was replace by brinjal and best of all the taste of brinjal is very light and crispy

Total bill comes up to $52, worth to come back again.

Shun Fa Bak Kut Teh @ Permas Jaya JB

2011-11-23T16:28:00.000+08:00

Had my favourite herbal bak kut teh over the weekend at Permas Jaya JB. I miss their bak kut teh and when I wanted to blog on this, I realise they have another outlet at Taman Sentosa as well. Heard from one of my collegue their ba kut teh are quite famous in JB.

Their menu is written very big on a board mount on the wall. When the guy came and take our order we asked for his suggestion and he also asked if we wanted additional ingredients like pig intestine, golden mushroom etc... We also ordered their sesame chicken which is served in a claypot to tried out. One thing to take note, remember to ordered their ginseng drink which is their specialist here. I get to know after seeing alot of people ordering it and it taste very freshing and sweet.

The bak ku teh soup is served in a claypot has well, the taste of the herbal is neither too strong or too light just nice, perfect! Just a little dissapointment that the meat is not tender enough if not it will be great. The guy miss out our yu tiao . As for the sesame chicken, it is sweet, tender and has a strong hua tiao chiew (chinese cooking wine) taste. Love the sauce from the chicken, thick and sweet goes well with the white rice.

Total bill come up to $46.50RM which I felt is reasonable enough for the mixed soup, sesame chicken, 3 rice and 3 drinks. I will tried their another oulet when I come into JB again

Sorry, I am not able to provide their full adress but their located is next to Okid hotel at Permas Jaya

Fisherman's Market Buffet @ Clarke Quay

2011-10-21T16:25:00.000+08:00

Hi guys I am back again

Went to Fisherman's Market Buffet @ Clarke Quay for my sister birthday. First thing I need to highlight is their location, you can get lost because their located right at a corner and if you don't notice their signage you won't be able to find the restaurant. They are located on the 2nd floor and not on the first floor and not even outdoor so don't get lost lolz

The food there, I would said is average, some are good and some are not. The sashimi and prawn is not very fresh but the oyster here was good, very fresh and juicy. They served teppanyaki which you can ordered and they will served it to you but the portion can be quite pathetic. The best thing here is they served free flow of drinks.

I like the ambiance of the restaurant, is a nice place for gathering and quite affordable as well. Oyster and crab lover may consider coming here to tried out

Like:
Oyster
Appetizer
Teppanyaki (fried squid)
Dessert (chocolate founde)

178 Tiong Bahru Lor Mee

2011-09-22T15:42:00.000+08:00

Was here for lunch and heard that the Lor Mee was good so I give a tried. I ordered the $3 Lor Mee for the extra Shark Nuggets. I heard chicken and fish nugget but is my first time hearing Shark Nuggets? Lolz... Luckily I am a little early for my lunch and there isn't much crowd yet but the auntie preparing is kinda of slow lolz...

The gravy is thick and tasty and you can add the sauce as much as you like so I added lots of garlic, chilli and vinegar in it :P As the portion I find it just nice for me, the shark nugget was slightly crispy and soft but I can't differentiate the taste of the shark meat vs the normal fish meat... opps :P There is some crunchy bits in the sauce I don't know what is that called but it was nice when goes with the noodle and the sauce. I will be back for their Lor Mee again :)

Chen Ji Steamed Fish Head

2011-09-22T15:02:00.000+08:00

Getting too lazy to update my blog already.....

Had this steamed fish head with hot sauce at Chen Ji when I was in Chinatown that day. Had wanted to eat the claypot rice but after hearing that we need to wait for more than an hour for the rice we change our mind and tried the steamed fish head.

This steamed fish head seem quite popular they even had the advertisement saying that it was recommended by mediacorp but I cant seem to find any review on the net. Anyway the fish head portion was huge, it was very fresh, no fishy smell. It was so smooth and tender as for the sauce it taste a little spicy, a little sweet and a little saltish because of the salted bean. I think the portion is right for 3-4 person it was too much for the 2 of us and we also ordered their Prawn Paste Chicken Wings, my favourite. The prawn paste taste was strong and fragrant, the chicken wing cooked just right! It was so juicy and tender, I love to have chicken wings because my deary will always debone it for me :P

Overall the bill for the fish head and chicken wings with 2 rice cost about $28, as given that portion I would say it was worth it.

Ivin's (Jalan Leban)

2011-08-25T15:03:00.001+08:00

Nowadays is not that cheap to do home cooking anymore thou I agree is it much healthier. And on the another side it can be quite a headache also to think what to have for your lunch, dinner or supper. That what happen to me on that day, luckily we are somewhere close to Thomson and since it has been a long time I last visit to Ivin's so I decided to drop by again for dinner.

It was 6pm the restaurant is not packed yet, there is no one at the entrance to assign you a seat even thou there is a signage stating 'please wait to be seated'. I guess I need not said much about their service already because I believe over a thousand or even a million people has already commented how bad their service has been. Worse, when our food has been served they forgot to give us utensils lolz... Despite the lousy service the place are still crowded during dinner time.

Just 2 adults and 1 kid we order Bakwan Kepeting Soup, Ayam Buah Keluak, Ikan Assam, Nonya Chap Chye and a piece of Otah. I think we over ordered already lolz thank god my little girl could take spiciness and enjoy the food with us.

Bakwan Kepeting Soup - We love this soup, is light, it taste rather fragrant and sweet and the meatball is huge!!!

Ayam Buah Keluak - You see the black shell thing? Usually people who love this will dig out the stuffing inside and go with the white rice which make the rice taste more fragrant and very nice and that what I love to do also

Ikan Assam - I don't really like the fish they used to cook for this dish, too stinky I can't really stand the fishy smell. But the sauce was good, I keep taking the sauce to go with my rice.

Nonya Chap Chy - Nothing much to comment on this, pretty common I would only said.

Otah - I ordered for my daughter who love it with her rice.

Overall the total bill come up to $37.50 even thou they have increase their price a little but still pretty affordable . My stomach almost burst after this meal Peramakan at Keppel is still the best and

good peranakan food I ever had.

Orchard Cafe @ Orchard Hotel

2011-08-02T15:02:00.001+08:00

Is durian season and since we are going somewhere for buffet to celebrate my girlfriend birthday we decided on Orchard hotel since they having this dinner and durian buffet together.

Upon reaching the place we were surprised that they actually closed up the smoking area for durian session. I guess is due to the heavy durian smell that why they do it outdoor and restrict us from eating it indoor as well. As for the outdoor area they actually set up an area where they will be a chef opening up the whole durian for you and beside this they also have fried durian and durian waffle. We requested for glove to eat the durian lolz The durian is really good!!! Lots of flesh and baby seed, bitter meat which is my favorite best of all is free 'flow' you can have as many as you want so long your stomach can fill it lolz... Not forgetting the durian puff and waffle, the waffle is hot, crispy and had the strong aromatic smell of the durian, so nice :P

As for the indoor dinner area, for me the variety is okay. They have sashimi area, appetizer, seafood, chinese, indian, dessert and area where there is chef making the laksa and mee rebus for you.

What I like
- Durian corner, durian creme, puff and almost everything: P
- Some variety of cheese and biscuits
- Fresh sashimi
- Fresh oyster
- Fresh prawn
- Laksa
- Pork belly bun

What I dislike
- Curry was cold on top so you have to stir it before you take
- Salted vegetable soup, too sour and salty

Ye Lai Xiang Hot & Cold Cheng Teng @ Bedok Food Centre

2011-08-02T14:26:00.000+08:00

One of my girlfriend wanted to try the Cheng Teng after watch a show on channel introducing this stall. It is located in a hawker centre at Bedok camp area close to Singapore Expo. You may think that is just another common dessert stall in a hawker centre but not for this one. They only sell cheng teng for their dessert thou they have a food stall which sell satay beehoon beside them. Their cheng teng is not cheap as well, each bowl start from $2 - $3 and you will expect a long queue during lunch time.

I ordered a bowl of cold cheng to try. Normally you will get alot of shaved ice but here they served with ice cubes. And one thing which make their cheng teng so special is because of the ingrediants inside. They have the additional of dired winter melon slice and dried persimmon which make the soup taste nicer and more fragrant, very special unlike those normal cheng teng we usually had. And my girlfriend said that most cheng teng was factory made as for this stall we believe the owner cooked it all by himself.

Is really nice to have a nice cooling cheng teng during a hot day, I will recommend it to everyone to give it a tried :)

The Prata Place @ Springlef Garden

2011-08-02T13:56:00.002+08:00

Getting too lazy to update my blog lol....

Let me introduce you one of my most favourite place for supper, The Prata Place located at Upper Thomson road next to Hans close to Nee Soon Camp. One thing about this place is that they closed at 12midnight unlike other prata place which operate 24hours. If you always frequent here you will definitely know Mr Sarsi the most friendly staff over here. Weekend can be quite crowded and parking can be quite difficult as well but for the sake of the crispy prata I don't mind at all.

As a regular over here we always ordered the same thing, tea tarik, cheese prata and plain prata. At times we will also try others but will still stick to what we like most :)

Cheese prata - Is huge, crispy and yummy

Plain prata - I simply like this because is really crispy, fluffy and nice and most important is it not too small unlike the plain prata sold elsewhere :P

I love their fish curry, is not very spicy and not very oily best with their prata :D

Muthu's Curry @ Race Course Road

2011-06-21T10:33:00.001+08:00

Purchase a voucher from deal.com.sg at $18 for their big portion fish head curry so I made a reservation with them and head down for dinner with my dear and my brother and my sister.

It was my first time here and regret to come on sunday, the restaurant was located near to little indian station. Restaurant was quite big, pretty crowded during the dinner time and they also serve buffet here. The food here was good but don't expect good services. My brother request for more 'ice' because they only give you 4 cubes in the glassbut the waiter heard my brother requesting for more 'rice' I almost fainted lols.

So we ordered their Fish Head Curry, Gosht Sheekh Kebab, Garlic Naan and Biryani Rice. Total bills come up to $49 excluding the Fish Head Curry for 4 person. The price here I would said is expected to be a little steep as Muthu's Curry are expected to be more commercialise.

The Menu

My favourite Pappadam

Curry Fish Head - Usually is serve 1/2 of the fish head but here it was the whole head. Lots of fresh and smooth fish meat, spicy and nice. Simply love the curry sauce especially having with the biryani :)

Biryani - Is stated in the menu free flow of biryani per person, my brother love rice he must be very happy when he see this lols

Garlic Nann - I was looking forward to this but it turns out to be a little disappointing, the naan taste a bit bland and can't taste any garlic too

Gosht Sheekh Kebab - Recommended by my sis, at first I thought the word was Ghost because it sound so close to it lols. It was too saltish for me and too spicy though there is a sauce for you to go with, it taste like indian hotdog to me lols...

Bali Thai @ NEX Shopping Mall

2011-05-19T17:32:00.000+08:00

Met up my girlfriend at NEX for dinner, had no idea what to eat and happen to pop by Bali Thai which is tucked at a corner at level 2 so we decided to try it out.

Not much crowd during dinner time, the restaurant are quite cozy but the food can be served quite slow. We ordered their Tom Yum Soup, Shrimp Paste Fried Rice and Phad Thai.

Tom Yum Soup - Kinda of special when I saw this Tom Yum Soup serve in a claypot. I requested not so spicy because I can't really take spiciness but still a little too spicy for me lols. But overall it is still nice.

Shrimp Paste Fried Rice - I love this and seems like I will always ordered this whenever I ate at a Thai restaurant. The fried rice is too moist but it is very fragrant, remember to go with belacan chilli it will taste even nicer. The sliced chicken was sweet and tender but the fried shrimp was over fried and too hard to chew lols.

Phad Thai - My girlfriend ordered this but I never tried. Smell very frangrant and nice too and the portion are quite big too.

Iced Milk tea - Thai iced milk tea are very different from our local style they taste more milky and stronger taste of the tea.

Oasis Taiwan Porridge @ Toa Payoh

2011-05-19T16:01:00.000+08:00

Been here for supper once, is next to Toa Payoh Swimming Complex as for parking wise you may park in front of the complex and walk over. Heard they have another outlet at Kallang but it was closed down already.

They have indoor and outdoor seating but the outdoor are only open in the evening. The pricing of the dishes I will said is quite steep. The teochew porridge is serve in a small pot in regardless how many person you have, you can always ask for another pot if you want to. My friend who had been here a few times told me it depends on your luck on the porridge that you get. If you are lucky you will get a pot of porridge with nice and sweet porridge with soft sweet potatoe inside which they had boil for quite a while if not it will be like me, my luck isn't good I never get to tried the sweet porridge just the plain porridge with semi soft sweet potatoe lols.

And we ordered Sliced Fish with Spring Onion, Braised Pig Intestine with Salted Vegetable and Cold Beancurd with Century Egg to go with the porridge. Total bill comes up to $35 for 2 person with a few dishes which I feel that is kinda of expensive. I think by coming in a bigger group will be more worth it, it will be a nice place to return for supper.

The Menu

Teochew Muay (Taiwan Porridge)

Sliced Fish with Spring Onion - To me when I heard Sliced Fish it should not have any bones but this does and not just one and also the fish are not fresh, it has a very smelly fishy smell in it.

Cold Beancurd with Century Egg - I like this, the beancurd is smooth silky and chill. The sweet and saltish sauce goes well with the egg and beancurd

Braised Pig Intestine with Salted Vegetable - The pig intestine is properly clean with no stinky smell, is soft and not rubbery, nice.

Linda Seafood @ Patong Phuket

2011-04-26T15:57:00.001+08:00

My brother recommended this place for dinner during our trip in Phuket Patong. It is not too far from our hotel called The Nap and it was beside Club Andaman Beach Resort, along the roadside opposite a 7-11 store. The lady boss was very friendly and keep chit chatting with us in dialect (Hokkien).

We ordered their fresh Oyster. Oyster omelette, Asparagus, BBQ butter prawn, deep Fried Squid, steam Stingray with white rice. I also ordered their Mango fruit juice, it was pure, fresh, thick and sweet do consider giving this a try. The advantage of going in a big group is that you can order more good food :P

Fresh Oyster - Fresh and no stinky smell. Unlike the usual way of having the oyster with tabasco sauce and lemon the lady boss has her way and it taste totally differently and it was very delicious. She personally prepare the oyster for us, she put some homemade thai sweet and spicy sauce with fresh garlic, fried shallots and a piece of the green leaf which I had no idea what is it called and put everything into your mouth, Wow it was great but it may not suit everyone taste bud but still worth a try :)

BBQ Butter Prawn - Prawn was huge, fresh and succulent The buttery sauce in the prawn was nice but somehow the prawn meat taste a little bland to me.

Steamed Stingray - Our local style of stingray is BBQ with sambal sauce and here they steamed the stingray with lots of garlic, coriander, chilli padi and maybe lime. It taste totally different to what I always ate, the sauce was very good it taste like clear tom yum soup. Thumbs up for this dish.

Fried Clams (LaLa) - Quite common so nothing much to said about this dish. Just one thing, at least is was properly clean and no sandy taste.

Fried Squid - This is nice too my girlfriend was saying that this dish taste like cereal squid. It is crispy, easy to chew and not rubbery.

Asparagus - My brother and my dear said that the sauce in this asparagus was very good and goes well with white rice and my brother even finish up the sauce lolz...Aasparagus was crunchy and fresh, yummy :)

Oyster Omeltte - I wonder how they make the omelette so fragrant and fluffy, overall the omelette taste quite nice too.

Total bills comes up to $2700 baht for 6 person including beer and drinks, very worth it and very reasonable and I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family who intend to visit Patong for their holiday. Do note that there are many stalls next to one another along this street and you will be confused as which to pick, as for Linda Seafood is much further down directly opposite a 7-11 store. Last but not least sorry for the bad photo taken :)

Ampang Yong Tau Foo @ Upper Thomson Road

2011-04-13T15:55:00.003+08:00

This stall at Upper Thomson Road is always crowded I wonder why. It is next to a Shell station and parking can be quite a hassle. We ordered their set for 2 and a bowl of dumpling soup. The sauce is flavorful, the fried tau kee is a little too salty for my liking and I feel that it doesn't taste as nice as before already. Not much varieties on the yong tau fau as for the soup it just taste very average.

Total for 2 person is $9. Will keep a lookout for other nicer ampang yong tau fu, kinda of disappointed with the food here....

2011-04-05T10:38:00.000+08:00

Was here for lunch with my colleagues, I think it was about 5 years already since I last visit BTK. It was a long queue as usually during lunch time. This restaurant was located beside Boon Keng MRT station along those shop houses. Finally it was our turn and we decided to ordered 1/2 white steamed chicken, spinach with century and salted egg and their fried beancurd.

At first I still wonder if their fried beacurd are still the same as usual and it never disappoint me. I love the lightly salted and crispy beancurd skin and the beancurd is smooth, tender and piping hot. My colleague suggested the spinach with century and salted egg, the sauce of this vegetable was thick and sweet, it taste like mui fan sauce to me. The texture of the chicken rice was good it was not too dry or oily and it was very fragrant. Lastly it was the steamed chicken, the thick chunky meat was smooth and tender best to dip with the chilli and ginger sauce.

Overall the bill comes up to $45 for 5 person with a pot of tea and complimentary chocolate. The reason for coming back again I guess is for their fried beancurd.

Square pizza? Yes they serve square pizza here, don't blame me for been a 'sua gu' (geek) is really my first time eating square pizza lolz. I choose Hawaiian flavour for our square pizza, it was slice into 9 pieces just nice for 2 adult and a child. And we saw a few ordering their Roasted Chicken so we ordered a whole chicken to shared. This place somehow remind me of New York New York even their menu are quite similar.

The roasted chicken is huge I should have ordered 1/2 to shared instead. The chicken can be quite bland without going with the sauce and it was served with a generous amount of fries. We like the pizza at least the crust is not so thick that will make us feel so bloated and each slices are just nice and not served in big pieces.

Total bill comes up to $34 after the gst and the service tax. I will come back again to tried their mini burger it is also a nice place for a mini gathering with your friends :)

Hua Ting @ Orchard Hotel

2011-03-28T14:37:00.001+08:00

It was my dear birthday, at first I thought of bring him for buffet but he would prefer chinese food so after some research I decided to go Hua Ting Restaurant at Orchard Hotel.

Hua Ting an authentic cantonese and fine dining restaurant is located at Orchard hotel level 2. Their Roast Duck are very popular here which is something that cannot be miss. Service are really good, staff are very friendly also and if you need any recommendation do ask them because some of the food they recommended to us are not on the menu. For your info it will take them quite some time to serve the food, I actually wanted to ordered dessert but we are running late for our movie so end up I give it a miss. I am puzzled why our Crabmeat fried rice was served last it make me feel like dining at a wedding dinner lolz...

And so we ordered 1/4 of Roast Duck with Roast Pork, Prawn prepare in 2 ways, Prawn in Scallop Sauce, Asparagus and Crab meat fried rice. Total bills for 2 person cost $125, for that price and quality of food I felt is worth it :)

Appetizer - This fried beancurd was served to us once we are seated. Taste quite nice, a little salty and a little sweet

Pu Er Cha, my dear said that when this 2 cups place together it looked like a heart shape lolz

Roast Duck - The skin was crispy and lightly sweet from the gravy while the meat was tender. Thumbs up for this no wonder it is so popular here.

Roast Pork - The skin of the pork was crackling crispy followed by a bite of the juicy fat and the tender savoury of the meat, yummylicious. The roast pork is 肥而不腻 I doubt I can find this kind of roast pork outside.

Prawn prepare in 2 ways - The prawn is fresh and big but when it said prepare in 2 ways sorry I really can't taste any different but it is still very nice :P

Prawn in Scallop Sauce - Hello!!! Where is my Prawn? Lolz

The prawn is buried inside the scallop sauce with hidden vegetable below, the scallop sauce is sweet but I felt like I am drinking 'thick' creamy scallop soup.

Asparagus - I love this dish, the fine and fragrant of the garlic is well spread around the asparagus which makes this dish very tasty.

Crabmeat Fried Rice - Our fried rice which came last... it was stated in the menu it is meant for one person but I share it with my dear. I guess I have no more space for the rice after all the dishes I ate earlier lolz. One think I liked about the fried rice that sells at the zi char stall or restaurant is the fluffy egg, the golden hue of the rice, the smooth texture and aromatic fragrance from the rice which we are not able to get it from home cooked fried rice.

Por Kee Eating House

2011-03-22T16:23:00.001+08:00

It was a gathering for my dear birthday with a group of friends so I went google for nice zi char place and found this Por Kee Eating House behind Tiong Bahru market. Por Kee is situated in a carpark at tiong bahru, is a old style chinese restaurant. They have both outdoor and indoor which is their so called 'aircon' place and there is another aircon place beside the main restaurant. Luckily I have made the reservation if not I doubt we can find any seat. They are already packed by 630pm, all outdoor seats are filled up and the indoor are mainly for reservation only.

We ordered their specialist dish Champagne Pork Rib, Cereal Prawn, Dou Miao and Baby Squid. At first I wanted their deep fried sotong but the auntie told us not to ordered because is not nice and so she suggested the baby squid. Peanut and wet tissue is a must even we have tried to return it lolz... Total bill is about $105 for 6 person. I would said their price range is slightly higher than those normal zi char we ate at coffeeshop maybe is due to their popularity I guess.

Champagne Pork Rib ~ I never tried this dish due to my allergy to alcohol but the smell of the champagne is strong and fragrant and sweet. My friends who tried said they can't taste any champagne but all of those who tired said they quite like this champagne pork rib.

Cereal Prawn ~I love the cereal which looks like pork floss to me lolz. The cereal taste very buttery but the prawn are a bit tough if not this dish will be perfect.

Dou Miao ~ Their dou miao here is very different from what I ate outside. It is bigger and not those tiny dou miao than I usually ate. Overall this dou miao is not too bad, at least it is soft and don't taste 'old'.

Baby Squid ~ Sweet and crunchy baby squid with a touch of spiciness, good recommendation from the auntie.

Albert Street Hokkien Prawn Mee (Lavender Food Centre)

2011-03-14T13:11:00.001+08:00

Was at Lavender Food Centre for supper and decide to order the famous Prawn Noodle here. Wonder why are they called Hokkien Prawn Mee because to me Hokkien Prawn Mee are those stir fried thick vermicelli with yellow noodle. Okay never mind, whenever I saw the prawn noodle stall that will sell pig intestine with prawn noodle I will definitely order this. A bowl of prawn noodle soup with pig intestine cost $5 and it was serve in a claypot with a spoon of chilli powder if you like to add some spicyness in your soup. For your info they only sell noodle soup only.

Tasty prawn soup with lots of msg inside which make me thristhy after finish drinking the soup lolz... The soup is very sweet but the prawn taste are not strong enough. Prawn are fresh but pig intestine are little 'rubbery' kinda of difficult to chew. Overall the prawn noodle are not bad, worth trying I will order it again :)

Swatow Seafood Restaurant (Dim Sum)

2011-03-14T11:29:00.000+08:00

At first I thought of going back to Excelsior hotel for their dim sum buffet but sadly they have close down already so we went over to Swatow Seafood Restaurant for Dim Sum lunch with my colleague last week. Previously it was called Xin Fu Yum Cha than it was took over by Fortune and now change to Swatow I wonder what next lolz...

The dim sum here was average to me, nothing much to shout about and I find that the price here was kinda of expensive total for 7 person is about $20 each. If you love Yam Paste dessert you may give a try their Yum Paste dessert they serve here was quite nice. The Fried Durian was a disappointment, strong smell of durian but the taste of it was bland.

Shutters @ Amara Sanctuary Sentosa

2011-03-03T17:16:00.001+08:00

Came here for dinner on my birthday, the ambiance here is really nice, quiet and not crowded. This place is quite huge and you can see chef cooking at the open concept kitchen. Their service here is excellent, thumbs up for their service :D

We had this 1 for 1 set dinner at $58. On the set menu there is 2 choices for you to choose from either Chicken or Fish so we choose one each. Their variety on their menu isn't much but surprisingly they serve local food here, I guess is meant for the tourist who is staying at the resorts.

We had their complimentary bread while waiting for our appetizer to come. Appetizer was Salad with Tuna, the Tuna was thick and tender and it was raw inside and slightly cooked from the outside. The first few pieces was still nice to eat but after that I feel sick of eating it maybe is due to the raw taste of the fish.

Next is the main course, mine was the fish set and his choice was the chicken set. This time round the inside of the fish was a little raw, I wonder why all the fish here was cooked this way LoL... Fish was great, it was fresh, juicy, soft and goes well with the sauce and the mash potato and best of all it does not have any fishy smelly. Took a bite from the chicken, it was tender and it taste great too but I still prefer my fish LoL :P Last but not least was the dessert, I love their Chempedak Creme Brulee if you guys doesn't know what is chempedak is it jack fruit. This dessert was serve warm with a little crust on top of the dessert I wish I had another one. The sweetness was perfect not too heavy or light and the taste of the jack fruit was really good.

I will come back here for dinner again, if you planning for a birthday or anniversary for your love one you may consider coming here.

Xin Yuan Ji 新源记

2011-02-23T14:54:00.000+08:00

Xin Yuan Ji is one of my favourite Fish Soup place, met up my girlfriend and my brother for dinner here. This place is among the stretch of the famous steamboat place directly opposites Bugis Juction and right beside Apple Strudel. This place is always crowded plus their service is horrible and attitude, forget about this for the sake of the nice fish soup lolx

Price has eventually went up again seems like they are always increasing their price. A bowl of Fish Meat Noodle Soup cost you about $5.50 kinda of expensive thou. I love their thick, fragrant milky soup and the chunky fish meat inside but prepare to get thirsty after finishing the soup lolx. My girlfriend suggested their Fried Baby Squid and the Prawn Paste Chicken Wings. Fried Squid was crunchy and sweet and not that spicy as for the Prawn Paste Chicken Wings I would said is pretty normal I still prefer the one at Bei Zhang in Yishun (another brunch of Taste of Thailand). The Prawn Paste Chicken Wings here does not have the strong aroma of the prawn paste taste. Overall I personally feel that the Fish Soup here are the best comparing to other dishes.

Gim Tim @ AMK

2011-02-10T14:53:00.000+08:00

My boss treat us for lunch at Gim Tim for 'Lo Hei'. My boss has chosen this day as it is the 7th day of the Chinese New Year season, which the Chinese celebrate as everyone birthday. It's a kind of tradition to toss the salad while calling out Lo Hei!, which means to whip up or toss up good fortune. It's believed that the higher you toss the salad, the greater your luck and prosperity in the New Year!

Our first dish is definitely the 'Yu Sheng', Yu Sheng is made with fresh fish such as salmon, peanuts (which symbolize longevity), raw vegetables such as Daikon radish and carrots, and a plum sauce dressing. In total there is 8 dishes including Shark Fin, Abalone, Scallop with Brocolli, Fish, Crispy Chicken with Spicy flakes and dessert. Dessert was the Hot White Fungus with Chinese Almond, the taste is kinda of weird so I never ate it.

Tuk Tuk Kitchen

2011-01-25T11:08:00.002+08:00

Another old post guess I am getting lazy to update my blog :P Was around Golden Mile area and happen to craved for Thai food so we went to Golden Mile Complex to look for it. My friend brought us to the famous Thai food place but it was packed and may have to wait for quite some time so we went to hunt for another place.

So we went to this Tuk Tuk Kitchen, looking at their menu, the price here isn't cheap. We ordered Stuff Chicken wing, Tom yum soup, Fried Omettle, Papaya Salad, Brocoli with Scallop and Minced Pork with Basil.

- Tom Yum soup was too spicy for me, even I already requested not so spicy, it almost burn my throat and stomach lolx :D I don't really enjoy the Tom Yum soup but I guess my friends does.
- Papaya Salad was sweet and not so spicy quite appetizing too.
- Stuff Chicken Wing was nice, crispy outside and juciy inside.
- Fried Omettle, no comment on this just another common dish
- Brocoli with Scallop the vegetable is fresh and green. I ever went to a place to eat they served yellow colour of the brocoli to us, so digusting I wonder how long have they kept the brocoli. Scallop is chewy and springy taste like fishball to me lolx
- Minced Pork with Basil was always my favourite in Thai food. Is a lilttle spicy and a little salty goes very well with white rice.

Just realize they have a few branches like Suntec and Gelyang. Bill comes up close to $80 for 4 person expensive or not is up to you all to judge :)

Fish & Co @ NEX

2011-01-12T10:30:00.001+08:00

This can consider a old post which I forget to blog it. Met up my best girlfriend (Belle) on Xmas eve to Nex and went to Fish n Co for dinner since the Q here is shorter than other places. One thing I don't really fancy about Fish & Co is because their choices are quite limited and I don't really like to eat fish.

Looking at their menu is all Fish n Fish n Fish again lols... they do have seafood but only like a few choices only. End up we choose the 'fish set' that comes with 2 sides of your choice just like Nando's. So my girlfriend Belle ordered the Sambal Fish and I ordered the Coriander Fish set.

I totally regret ordering this dish, at first it taste nice but after a while it make feel so sick of eating the thick, greenly coriander. I had to steal Belle Sambal chilli to go with it, I wish I had ordered hers instead it taste so much better than mine. But their Sambal is not really spicy at all even for a person like me who can't really take spicy this is quite mild to me. One thing to take note that is their service, forever never CHANGE still the same as usual, Poor!! They usually will serve the 3 sauces but when Belle requested they come with only one sauce only till we requested it for the 2nd time. Called and called again they hardly notice their customer also, sigh!!

I doubt I will visit Fish & Co again, total bill is about $50 for both.

Woody's Pub Cafe

2011-01-07T10:06:00.002+08:00

Happened to pop by this place that day and quite like the enviroment, a place which is quite similar to Seletar Pub where you can chill and mingle with your friends. So I went and arrange a dinner here to catch up with 2 of my close friends. Location is near to Sembawang park, behind those landed property.
Looking through their menu, they have buffalo wings and that is one of the reason I came too :P They serve Peranakan food too but the price here I would said is quite steep. End up we ordered a plate of curly fries with cheese, half dozen of Spicy buffalo wings and a M hawallian pizza to share.

Their buffalo wings have 4 different levels I think it start with the very mild than mild than spicy and than very spicy. So they decided to try their Spicy level but based on my friends they said is roughly the level 2 to 3 at Seletar buffalo wings. For me, not a spicy lover this is too hot for me to take a second bite but as for my friends they like the wings here as they find it more tender comparing to other places. But they prefer the taste at Seletar, I would only said is up to indivual as everyone has differnt taste bud. Hmmm maybe they should steal their recipe and create a version on their own lolz.

My complain is their so called Hawallian pizza!! Hard crust, super thick cheese on top with very little filling, you can really forget about ordering their pizza. Curly fries with thick and creamy cheese, kids will love this.
Total bill is about $70 include 4 root beer float for 4 person. Reason for me to come back here again is to have a drink with my friend, chill out and relax but as their food I doubt I will order again.

Lai Wah Restaurant

2010-12-28T12:01:00.001+08:00

Happened to be around Bendemeer and this good friend of mine suddenly suggested to go to this Lai Wah restaurant for dinner. He mention to us that this restaurant started way before we were born, is an old traditional Chi Zar restaurant. This restaurant was located below the HDB flat and thou is located near the main road but it can hardly be seen unless to those who have been here before or stay around this area.

This restaurant give me a very old school feeling like those older generation who held their wedding in this kind of restaurant, it was not crowded yet when the time we reached. We were served with a plate of peanut and chinese tea when we were seated. They have quite alot of variety and they also served set menu here. I wanted Prawn Paste Chicken Wing but the auntie said they don't have it anymore, kinda of disappointed. So ended up we decided on the Fried Prawn, Garlic Pork Chop, Belacan Kangkong, Sweet & Sour Fish and Fu Rong Egg. Their menu are mainly in chinese, pardon me for this as I can't really remember the name of the dish.

I must admit that the food here are quite nice but the price range are a little steep maybe due to their popularity. Overall the bill comes up to $75 for 3 person, whether is it expensive or not is up to you all to judge.

Their address printed on the napkin

- Garlic Pork Chop

I thought it will come in slices because it stated Pork Chop but it was in chunk. This is really nice, the meat is very tender and fragrant. The taste of garlic is just nice, not to strong, give this dish a try.

-Sweet and Sour Fish

By looking at the colour of the fish my feeling tell me that this dish is not going to be nice but surprising it taste better than I thought.The fish was soft and fresh and the sauce match perfectly.

-Belacan Kangkong

This dish is almost the same as what we ate outside but here their Belacan is not very spicy and the vegetable is very crunchy and fresh.

-Fried Prawn

Okay, this dish is expensive lolz. I do not know what is that called that wrap with the prawn but it is very crispy and most of all is not oily. Prawn are big and fresh, no shell and it is very crunchy.

-Fu Rong Dan

Hmmm.... Common dishes nothing much to said on this.

Furama Riverfront The Square

2010-12-14T12:00:00.000+08:00

My sister has this Buffet Club member so we decide to go to Furama Riverfront to try out their buffet on my sister birthday. At first I got them confuse because I told there is only one Furama which is located at Outram than I realise I lead them to the wrong Furama lols.

Furama Riverfront is near to the famous club disco Zouk. The restaurant we had our buffet is called The Square. There isn't much crowd when we arrived, the restaurant was quite big, quiet and ambience was quite nice too. But but but the food here was so-so only, no fresh oyster and the variety was very little too. Their sashimi was very fresh and I like their apple strudel, I ate 2 of this :P

Though their buffet is consider cheap but for the food they serve I will said is not worth it. This will be the first and the last time I visit them. Original price was around $35 per head for dinner.

Chuan Lai Guo Zhi Wang (Macpherson Kway Chap)

2010-12-14T11:00:00.000+08:00

I was craving for the kway chap at Macpherson and it was just a 5 min drive from my office. A nice brother of mine came all the way down to accompany me for lunch as I was so sick of the food around my office lols.

I guess I don't need to introduce much on the kway chap here as it was so popular and well known among every of us. But one thing to highlight the kway chap here are quite expensive, we order a plate of the mixed pig organ with duck meat and 2 kway for 2 person cost us $13. Try their fried pig intestine ($8) is crispy and nice. Best thing about their kway chap here is that they are not very oily and their pig organ are properly clean as they don't have the stinky smell. They are open till midnight so anyone craving for kway chap late at night may consider coming here.

Jerry's BBQ & Grill (Jalan Kayu)

2010-11-25T12:38:00.000+08:00

Went out for supper on last saturday, had no idea what to eat at first and out of the sudden I craved for buffalo wings. So we head to Jalan Kayu to tried Jerry's since seletar had closed for order at the time we went out.

Jerry's was located along the stretch of the Selegie Beancurd stall. Jerry's is quite a nice place to chill or relax and chat chit with friends, I wished I had come earlier. Their Buffalo Wings only have 3 levels to choose from, I am a person who can't really take spicy so I choosed the level one which was called Smoked Buffalo Wings and a plate of Calamari Rings.

Calamari was crispy and luckily it was soft and not taste like 'rubber' lolz :P Buffalo wings, nicely decorate but can't taste any spicyness at all. The buffalo wings taste like sweet and sour chicken to me, is like fried chicken wings with the sweet and sour sauce over it. It is really different from what I ate at seletar, I still prefer Seletar over Jerry's but if the wings at Seletar will be as crsipy as Jerry's wow I think it will be perfect lolz :P

Total bill: $32 for 2 person another thing to add the Buffalo Wings at Jerry's is cheaper than the one at Seletar.

Hog's Breath Robertson Walk

2010-11-15T11:30:00.000+08:00

Have I update my blog on Hog's Breath? Oh dear I must have miss it lols

A salesman came to my office on a particular and sold me this promotion card for $25 for Hog's Breath 1-for-1 at Robertson Walk, I was tempted and so I brought the card from him. Made a reservation and met up my friends at Hog's for dinner to enjoy the offer. Wow this place is seriously very quiet, no crowds and the only noisy thing we can hear was the blender lols.

On their menu majority are beef and for a non beef eater like me there is nothing much I can eat, so I ordered a Fish and Chip for myself as for my friends they order a Jack Chicken, Beef Steak and a Beef Steak with Prawn and Buffalo Wings to share.

Fish and Chip as you can see from my picture the serving was so pathetic, nothing much to comment on this, it is just like those that can be found at Kopi Diam. Jack Chicken I should have ordered this instead it is so much better than my Fish and Chip. The sauce of this Jack Chicken taste like BBQ sauce to me lols. My friends who ordered the Beef steak said it was quite good, I guess that is because their more specialist in Beef. Buffalo Wings was good but compare to Seletar I think I still like this :P

Without this card I doubt I will come here for dinner. Total bill comes up to $20(estimated) per pax after the 1-for-1 promotion.

Tiffany Cafe @ Furama City Centre

2010-11-01T12:09:00.002+08:00

It was my friend birthday so we decided to treat her to Tiffany Cafe for dinner. They are having this 1-for-1 with OUB cards so I would say is pretty affordable for the price you pay and for the food you get at Tiffany Cafe. Pretty crowded during dinner time even it was a weekday and it was quite noisy too due to the crowds. My friend wanted to order a can of coke but was shocked when they are selling a can of coke at $6! Is was a International buffet but not much of varieties, no Oyster and Japanese corner only have Salmon and Squid which is kind of pathetic. I went to try the raw sotong from the salad corner which make me feel like throwing up after chewing on it. Chef corner only have 3 types, BBQ stingray, Mutton and Crispy noodle with gravy. We had their dessert more LOL the Durian Puree was a bit disappointed it does not have the strong fragrant of the Durian smell, the Chocolate Eclairs was not bad. For me I think once is enough I doubt I will go back for their buffet again. Buffet dinner at Tiffany Cafe is at $41++ on weekdays.

Must try:
1) Cooked Prawns (Sweet, juicy and fresh)
2) Crispy noodle with gravy
3) Mutton (no mutton smell)
4) Smoked Salmon
5) Salmon (Fresh)
6) Durian Puree (so-so)
7) Chocolate Eclairs

Gallery by the Straits (Sembawang Yacht Club)

2010-10-18T15:35:00.001+08:00

My boy brought me here for dinner yesterday, this place is seriously Ulu and seriously if you don't drive is very hard to come here also. Let's say if you take a cab here you will need to call a cab out lolz!!! or you walk about 20 minutes out. The ambience of this place is nice because is located beside the waterfront also a family place as I saw alot of family's and also couple who come here for dinner. They have live band on weekend I would say that this place is quite relaxing.

Looking through their menu they have some BBQ items, chinese and western food and when I observe most people was having chinese food. Saw the review online alot of people mention that their Curry Fish Head is a must try so we order their popular dish with Beancurd with Chicken Meat. Just take note that their plain rice portion is quite small and their lime juice is free flow.

Their Curry Fish Head was serve in a claypot just be caution that the gravy might split on you. The gravy of the curry was very thick!!! As you can see from my picture the gravy was so thick that I couldn't even see the fish meat. My boy say it was very nice, I admit it was nice because of the strong and thick coconut gravy and the spicness but the fish was so little same goes to the vegetable, I hardly see any lady finger inside. Next is the beancurd, OMG!!! there is a strand of HAIR on the cauliflower after we had ate the beancurd so I requested to change. The first thing the waitress do was she took that plate of beancurd away and was discussing with her colleague before she bring it to the kitchen. They said they will change a new plate for us but I felt that it was actually the previous one because the portion was still the same. Very bad sevice provided!!!

Total bill comes up to $38 for 2 person, the curry fish head was $22. I think I will still prefer the Jurong West Curry Fish Head than here which I felt is more worth it.

Curry Fish Head @ Jurong West Blk 496

2010-10-18T13:36:00.000+08:00

Was at Jurong area and my boy has been telling me that there is a place that sell very nice Curry Fish Head so we went there for dinner. It was located at Blk 496 Jurong West inside a coffee shop, there is only one stall that is selling Curry Fish Head. We order a small serving of Curry Fish Head I think is about $15 and a plate of vegetable with plain rice.

The Curry Fish Head was serve in a claypot, as you can see there is alot of vegetable inside and I am suprise there is pineapple inside too. The gravy was very nice especially with rice, for me I can't really take spicy but I still can manage with this :P After a few sip of the gravy I started to have running nose LOL!!! The fish was very fresh and smooth, no fishy smell and I would say the portion was quite big.

Not too sure if this Curry Fish Head stall was popular in Jurong but I will definitely recommend it to my friends :D

2010-10-11T15:55:00.000+08:00

I was craving for Korean BBQ for weeks lolz and my girlfriend suggested this place as she came here before. This place was recommended by a variety show in Channel 8 long time ago I always wanted to come here to try but it was too far away from where I stay and I would say if you are not driving this place could be quite inconvenient.

This place is oppsite Haw Par Villa located at YESS Centre, they have a indoor playground for children and they have 2 types of sitting area for you to choose from. Service wise I would say is average, sometimes helpful sometimes not. When we are settling our bill the staff actually forgot to give us the change so this is something to take note of. Their Unlimited Buffet is only on weekday so we order 2 soup and 2 meat for BBQ. They have a lot of side dishes and if you are having rice, simply with all this side dishes to go with can make you full already.

Their Pumpkin Soup is very sweet and taste like dessert to me :P I love their Kimchi is very nice and their Ikan Bilis too. Their Ginseng Soup is very light it can be a bit bland for some that's why they provide salt, the Ginseng taste is quite strong and the chicken inside is very tender with strong Ginseng taste too. The staff actually helped to scooped the soup for us. Next is the Spicy Seafood Soup, it look red and spicy but is not spicy at all but the soup is very nice too quite similar to Kimchi soup. Both of the soup we order the portion are just nice for 4 person to share. We order 1 marinated pork and 1 chicken, the staff also helped us to cooked and cut up the meat. After the meat is done u wrapped with the vegetable along with the sauce they provided and eat..... Yummylicious :P The meat is sweet and tender I like it with the bean paste sauce :D Lastly is the dessert, free 1 piece of watermelon per person and a sweet drink they called it rice grain water, I have no idea what is that but is very light and sweet.

I had a very full and satisfy dinner, thanks to my girlfriend :) Total bill come up to $103 for 4 person.

Pu Tien Restaurant Jurong Point

2010-10-04T16:15:00.000+08:00

Went over to Jurong Point on Sunday and decided to go Pu Tien for dinner. We took a quene number at 6.30pm and we got our table at around 7.15pm so I guess is better to make a reservation than to wait so long for a table. They used to have have set menu for 2pax at $38 but they have it was no longer available.
Here's what we order

1)Deep Fried Pork Knuckle ($4.90/ea min 2 pcs), Deep Fried Knuckle the skin was crispy but a bit too saltish for my liking, not much meat but more fats :P The spices they use to marinate the pork are quite nice and fragrant.

2) Beancurd with Kailan ($10.90), this dish is quite normal nothing much to comment about it.

3)700g Seabass Steam Fish ($30+), the fish was very fresh but I realise there is some sort of weird smell or taste of the fish than my boy told me, that is because the fish is breed by them unlike those from the market. The fish was soft and tender, the sauce was very tasty but abit saltish too. The serving of the fish was just nice for 2 person.

4) Chilli Live Mussel ($12.90), is like the 'lala' we ate at those bbq stall in Newton Circus. The sauce was spicy and nice but there is more empty shell than the mussel.

5) A pot of Chrysanthemum tea, light and refreshing that is what you need after a heavy meal :)

Overall $77 for the total bill, might be a little too expensive for 2 person, not wise to come here often for dinner. I think they have 10% discount on certain credit card on weekday.

Hong Ji Claypot Bak Kut Teh 宏记砂锅肉骨茶 (Marsiling Lane)

2010-09-22T18:22:00.000+08:00

I always wanted to try this ba ku teh stall, finally went to tried it for lunch on a sunday afternoon. Here, they serve herbal type of ba ku teh, honestly speaking I find it quite hard to find herbal type of ba ku teh nowdays, mostly are pepperish type. Not much crowd during the lunch hour so our food came quite fast.

We order a claypot with mixed ba ku teh, you tiao and a small claypot of braised pig intestine. The herbal taste of the soup is just nice for me :P not too strong and not too bitter, perfect :) But I find that the tau pok in the soup does taste weird with the soup. As for the braised pig intestine was a little bit of disappointed, the braising taste was not strong enough but the texture was very soft and chewy, too bad. For those living in the north craving for ba ku teh may come here and give a try :)

Little Vietnam

2010-09-11T10:36:00.000+08:00

A colleague of mine brought us to this place for dinner. The restaurant is tucked at the corner of Grandlink Square, hardly people will notice this place. Is a small, family style kind of restaurant and is a little dim inside that I have to on the flash light to take picture. Surprising, the food aren't expensive, price start from $5 which is very affordable. And they are only open from evening till midnight.

Here what we order, Fried Chicken Wing, Mixed Finger Food, Crabmeat Style Soup, LaLa, Garlic Cockles, Vietnam Popiah and some others. I actually order more when I went there the 2nd time so you can see how nice the food they serve here that I even went back again :P Oh... don't forget to order their traditional Vietnam coffee and try when you are here, if you are a coffee lover you will love the rich and aromatic coffee taste. Total bill is around $80 plus to share among 9 of us, quite reasonable isn't?

Fried Chicken - Is so juicy and tender but is a bit oily, anyway fried chicken wing is already fatty who cares that additional of oil :P

Mixed Finger Food - Something for you to snack before your main comes :D

Crabmeat Style Soup - You just got to tried this, the soup base is thick like those shark fin soup with sliver needle noodle (lao shu fen) inside with some pork meat. The soup is really nice, I actually order this again when I went back there.

Lala - Cooked in soup style, worth a tried :)

Garlic Cockles - This is something different to me, seriously is my first time having cockles fried with garlic. Some may afraid to eat cockles because of the bloody and raw taste but this is so much nicer and no more bloods on your hands. We order 3 plates of this, it taste very fragrant after fried with the garlic and not over cooked and not forgetting to dip with their special chilli sauce, thumbs up :D

Vietnam Popiah - I don't really like this, tasteless and have a strong taste of raw vegetable.

Peramakan Keppel Club

2010-09-04T11:04:00.005+08:00

Exam finally over, I have some free time to update my blog already. My brother knew I love Peranakan food and brought me to Keppel Club to tried out authentic peranakan food.

Hmmmm... This place is not very convenient so is either by your own transport or by a cab because there is no public transport to come here. I guess this restaurant is quite famous because they are all fully booked for dinner so no walked in are attended. So if you want to come and try their food remember to make your reservation early. The staff are quite friendly and their service is quite good also. The restaurant look very classy and nice.

The dishes on the menu all comes in one size accept the soup. We order Assam Fish, Babi Pongteh, Buah Keluak, Meat Ball Soup, Durian Puff, Durian Pancake and Durian Pengat. At the end of the dinner my brother told me that if you ate their durian items you won't smell the durian after you burp, how true is it I really have no idea. Anyway I leave this place very satisfied and with a heavy stomach :P
Total bill comes up to $160 for 5 person :)

Assam Fish - Fish is very tender and soft, no fishy smell... The fish along with the spicy and sour gravy, thumbs up!!!

Babi Pongteh - This dish is actually the Braised Pork Belly With Salted Bean Paste... The meat is like melt in your type, I can't really taste the fatty part :P

Buah Keluak - Some may start to wonder what is this black things... This dish can be found in every peranakan food. This is a nut shell with paste in it which they will use it to cook with meat, normally with chicken. The taste of the buah keluak is somewhat astringent with delicate underpinnings of bitterness. For me, I like to dig out the paste inside and goes with my white rice which make my rice more fragrant.

Pork Meat Ball Soup - This is my favorite soup that I won't miss it... The soup is clear and light, the meat is very juicy and tender.

Durian Pancake - I starting to miss this dessert... The pancake is hot but the durian cream is cold and creamy, one each is really not enough :P

Durian Penget - Is like durian moose to me, thick and creamy with bites of durian flesh inside and the base is made of sweet potatoe. Thou the serving is not very big but I still find that 1 bowl might be too much for 1 person especially for girls :P

Durian Puff - How can I miss this? It is very soft and puffy with yummy durian cream inside but I will still prefer the Durian Pancake :)

Busy busy busy.... Was quite busy recently preparing for my exam, stress but also not forgetting to pamper myself with some nice food to ease my stress :P My boy has been telling me about this place which serve very fresh sashimi at Parkway Parade and brought me there last weekend.

This place was located at the basement of Parkway Parade inside a Japanese supermarket. The seats are quite limited and it is very crowded even we went at 8pm. Their service is quite good, they took my number and called me once there is seats. At first I was quite doubtful on how fresh the sashimi can be when they are all already pre-pack like what we usually saw at other supermarket. You picked what you want and they will slice it up and serve it to you. Other than sashimi they also serve other food, there is a menu for you to look through.

The Salmon and Tuna sashimi is really fresh, no fishy smell or taste and not thinly slice and we also order some maki to go along with. Total bill was around $30 for the sashimi alone but for the kind of portions and quality, it was worth it. :D

Bei Zhan Restaurant

2010-08-19T12:16:00.004+08:00

We head to a chinese restaurant called Bei Zhan for our dinner. This place is located very near to the 'Eye of Malaysia' and the whole building is very white and bright so I can said it is very easy to spot this place. Their service was very friendly but not attentive enough. The restaurant is very big and it was quite crowded during the dinner time.

Looking at their menu, the prices were around mid range. Not that cheap and not that expensive either, total bill came up to $89RM to share among the 4 of us. We decided to order Vinegar Pork Chop, Curry Fish Head, Garlic Chicken, Shallot Oil Steamed Beancurd and Sambal Kangkong.

Their menu

Garlic Chicken - It look like fried mini chicken wings to me, no strong smell or taste of garlic but the marinate of the chicken was quite good.

Vinegar Pork Chop -I thought that this dish will be like the black vinegar pork that we ate locally but it turn out to look and taste very similar to the sweet and sour pork, the only difference is the sour taste are slightly stronger.

Curry Fish Head -Taste more like Assam Fish to me. I like the spiciness of the gravy that goes with my white rice, thumbs up :)

Shallot Oil Steamed Beancurd - The topping on the steamed beancurd was very fragrant and with the sauce it in makes the whole dish taste very nice.

Fried Sambal Kangkong - Looks very spicy but the spiciness of it, is still alright.

Jonker 88 Dessert (Malacca)

2010-08-16T14:23:00.003+08:00

This place is well known among Singaporean, everyone seems to drop by this place when they visit Malacca. After a long walked at Jonker street under the hot and humid sun we are really thirsted and tired so we head to this place for nice, cooling dessert and some yummy food.

It was a long queue, one for the dessert another for the food. They have a few variety of desserts on their menu so we picked the Durian Chendol and their Baba Chendol. My brother ordered the Assam Laksa and the Baba Laksa. I liked the interior of this place, it was decorated with different kinds of antiques, the old paintings that is hang on the wall, the wooden table and chairs.

Their Chendol serving is perfect for one, cooling and sweet. The Durian Chendol is just an added of the Durian syrup with lesser of the gula melaka (palm sugar), something different and special, Durian lover might want to give this a try. Assam Laksa vs Baba Laksa? I think I prefer Assam Laksa, for the touch of sour that goes with the spiciness.

Teo Chew Bak Ku Teh, Malacca

2010-08-13T13:33:00.001+08:00

Hihi I am back from my Malacca trip and I also gained an extra kg back :P Why is this so? Well, we discovered this amazing Bak Ku Teh stall while we were sending our friends to their hotel. This Teo Chew Bak Ku Teh is located at a corner just opposite Comfort Hotel. It is quite crowded during the lunch time but luckily, we managed to find a table.

We ordered the Bak Ku Teh with mixed pig organ and a small serving of the Braised Pork Leg and also a pot of chinese 'Pu Er' tea to share. Their Bak Ku Teh and the Braised Pork Leg are serve in individual claypots. From what I know, there are 2 types of Bak Ku Teh, the former being the pepperish type and the latter the herbal type, as for here they serve the herbal type. If you are craving that not too strong and not too light just perfect herbal taste, this place is a definite must try. The Braised Pork Leg is very tender and melts in your mouth. However their 'Yu Tiao' is very dry and hard so do soak it in the soup before eating it. A highlight of this place is they serve Yam rice but you can opt for white rice if you don't like it. The total bill came up to $61RM which I shared amongst the 4 of us. Pretty reasonable and cheap if I may say.

I had a very satisfying and happy lunch :D Special thanks to my brother for all the nice photo taken.

Sembawang White Bee Hoon 白米粉

2010-08-11T14:09:00.002+08:00

I had always been curious and puzzled about their bee hoon each time I pass by this zhe char stall. And finally I tried it t last night. This coffeeshop is located at the corner opposite Sembawang Shopping Centre. We ordered a small serving ($4) of their signature dish White Bee Hoon and a small plate of Indon Style Fried Chicken Wing.

After a wait of 15min our Bee Hoon finally arrived. Upon first glance, the beehoon does resemble a plate of hokkien mee. Perhaps it was due to the garnishing of lime, squid and prawns covered in a thick white gravy. The bee hoon is very smooth and the gravy in the bee hoon really makes it taste yummylicious. I am amazed by the preparation of the bee hoon which was very good as it didn't break. The Indon Fried Chicken Wing was very juicy and tender I will order this again when I come back here for their bee hoon. Thumbs up for their bee hoon I will definitely recommend this place to everyone :P

Men-ichi Kyoto Tonkotsu Ramen @ Northpoint

2010-08-10T12:00:00.000+08:00

I always happen to walked pass this small ramen restaurant in Northpoint Shopping Centre but I never went to try it due to the long queue during dinner time. I decided to give it a try but I went before dinner time to avoid the long wait. Looking at their menu they don't really have much variety of Ramen. They also have a few kinds of sushi and side dishes for you to choose from. I order the Teriyaki Ramen, Unagi sushi and my favourite Salmon Skin.

They had given me Salmon Ramen which is not what I order, I only notice it after I had a bite on the meat. I called the staff to tell them but he insist that I order the Salmon Ramen and show me the order that he took from me. I guess he is not happy about it because I inform him after I had ate half a bowl of the ramen. Then he came to me again and said he can change the order for me but I rejected. I am kinda of upset by their service already and I told him I am almost full so I don't see the point of getting another bowl of ramen. After I pay my bill I feedback to their manager telling her that the staff should repeat the customer order. Hopefully they will take my feedback seriously and don't allow mistake to happen again.

The salmon skin was crispy and nice and their sushi was fresh and not soggy. The food here was not too bad but too bad I will not come back to this place again for what had happen.

Hong Kong trip 2010

2010-08-04T13:19:00.001+08:00

I just came back not long ago from my Hong Kong trip. I am a person who simply can't resist when I see food but it was kinda of sad that I didn't manage to try alot of food when I was there, not because I am busy shopping but I went with a wrong group of people. I don't want to think about it again :(
This coming national day I will be heading to Malacca, I am definitely not going to miss out the food again. Stay tune to the updates of my Malacca trip :P

Here's what I had during my Hong Kong 2010

Da Jia Le
Is like their popular eateries place, it seems like every where you go you will definitely spot one outlet. Eating in Hong Kong is not very cheap but the price at Da Jia Le is very affordable each set meal is around $7SG and they are open quite early for breakfast too.

Street food at Fa Yuen Street
Plenty of street food for you to choose from. Their famous street food I guess is their Curry Fish Ball and Smelly Beancurd. I tried both, the Smelly Beancurd dosen't taste good it is quite oily and not crispy. As for the Curry Fish Ball the chilli sauce in it is very spicy and shiok but I didn't taste any curry, the fish ball is very hard unlike those we ate in SG.

We went to Modern Toilet Restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant is very special and unique they also have a branches in Taiwan. Friends told me that the food they tried in Taiwan outlet was not nice but the food here in Hong Kong outlet was not bad. All the food and drinks are serve in toliet bowl and you will be sitting on the toilet bowl and eat. We took quite alot of photos and I never expected that the restaurant was quite crowed during dinner time.

(Zheng) Swee Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice

2010-08-04T10:57:00.002+08:00

Had my lunch with my colleague at Zheng Swee Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice. Looking thru their menu I would say their food are somewhat costly. A plate of Kampung Chicken Rice cost $5 and their side dishes are mostly from $6 onwards. We decided to order the set meal for 3 person that include a plate of vegetable, pork chop, thai style fried tofu and 1/4 roasted hainanese chicken with 3 plates of chicken rice.

1. The roasted chicken is very tender, fragrant and not too fatty and oily for my liking, I guess that is what all girls will prefer :p Oh don't forget to dip with the chilli sauce that is something not to be miss when having chicken rice.

2. Chicken rice, as for this there is nothing to shout about, I just find the rice is not fragrant enough, the best part is that the rice is not too oily.

3.Pork Chop, I like this dish, the sweet tangy sauce that goes with the tender and crispy Pork Chop taste very yummylicious :P

4. Thai style fried Tofu, the soft and crispy tofu with the sweet and spicy thai style sauce is very nice too. I guess is the sauce that works the trick :P

5. Vegetable which serve with 'hor fun' sauce sounds weird and it taste weird too.

Total bill is around $28 for the above which I feel is quite worth it. But than again they are not the best chicken rice I ever try so I will keep looking around and update my blog again :D

Taste of Thailand (Previously located at Sembawang Shopping)

2010-07-29T12:34:00.000+08:00

Hi, I am back, after my holiday after my computer crash. Suddenly craving for Taste of Thailand the cheapest 'Zhi Char' that I had eaten. Not just because of the price of the food, the taste was quite nice too. For the price you pay is definitely worth it. The dinner crowd on weekend is quite pack but not to worry they will take your order first and once you are seated the food will be serve within 10 minutes.

They are previously located at Sembawang Shopping Centre after the shopping centre was renovated they shifted to Yishun Industrial Park and another outlet is located at Blk 710A Yishun Ring Road. The variety of food here is not much and is mainly a mixed of Thai and Chinese food. Their specialist dish is their Pineapple Rice and the Fried Fish that goes with their sauce. And not forgetting their friendly and good services they provided. Here the food I usually order...

Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($3) which don't really taste that spicy at all

Pineapple Fried Rice ($5) they have 3 different serving

The Fried Fish ($12 and $15) fresh and fragrant, don't forget to dip with their sauce

Garlic Chicken ($6) sweet and tender

French Bean ($6) crunchy and nice

Dim Do Restaurant

2010-07-05T12:17:00.003+08:00

Head to JB to do some groceries shopping and dinner. We decided on Dim Do restaurant, this restaurant can be easily spot as they have a big crab on their sign board. It is directly opposite 'The Store' at sentosa, try to reach slightly earlier if you are coming here for dinner as to get a parking lot if you are driving in. They open till 4.30am so for those craving for seafood for late night supper may consider driving in.

We order some of their grill food to try. Their chicken wing, cheese hotdog and squid. They have a few other variety for you to choose from. The rest will be 3 Cereal Crayfish, 2 Chilli Crab, Fried Milky Bun to go with the Chilli Crab sauce, Cheesy Prawn, Pork Rib King and Dou Miao. Their signature dish is their Salted Egg Crab but after trying this dish a few times at other places I kinda of give up on this dish so we decided to try their Chill Crab instead.

Dim Do Restaurant

Their menu

The grill chicken wing is quite nice, try to go with their sauce is really spicy and nice too

Pork Rib King - Is a pity that they did not marinate the meat to make it tender if not this dish would be nice

Cereal Crayfish - This can consider one of my favorite dishes among the rest. The cereal is well coated to the crayfish is crispy and taste really buttery and fragrant, thumbs up for this dish

Chill Crab - Not too spicy just nice for my liking. Crab meat is very fresh and you can really expect a lot of meat not like those pathetic tiny crab

Fried Milky Mantou - To go with the Chill Crab sauce

Cheesy Prawn - I can't taste any cheese but the prawn is also very fresh and succulent the shell can be easily peel off too

Dou Miao

Total bill $175RM for the above we order. I will let you all judge if this price is reasonable or expensive.

2010-06-28T10:03:00.000+08:00

Meet up with a group of friends and head for dessert at 记得吃. My boy order their most popular Durian with Pomelo and sago. I had a nibble of it, it was very nice, the durian paste was smooth and fragrant especially that scoop of durian flesh in it. My friends also order the Mango Pomelo Sago and Mango Sago with Black Pearl. Mango Pomelo don't taste as sweet as the Mango with Black Pearl but both are quite nice too. For me I order the Ice Red Bean with rice ball. The rice ball was very chewy and soft and it was serve in coconut syrup. We also order the Durian Roll and this is like a must for my girlfriend who is a big fan of their Durian Roll. The roll was filled with generous durian flesh so durian lover do order this for a try.

Do expect a lot of crowd especially on weekend and a small reminder not to expect a good services here.

Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig's Organ Soup King

2010-06-21T11:40:00.000+08:00

My favorite place for Pig Organ's Soup and their Vinegar Pig Trotters. They serve really tasty Pig Organ's Soup and the best part is their soup can be refill if you crave for more. Not forgetting their Vinegar Pig Trotters is one of my favorite too but not all people will like this dish as it has a very strong taste and smell of Vinegar. We also order the Salted Fish Meat Patties, it contain a little chestnut inside which make it quite special but than again I find this dish too salty for my liking. Oh... this place opens till 5am daily, so this is something worth checking out for late night supper.

Beach Road Prawn Noodle House

2010-06-21T11:16:00.002+08:00

To make a delicious Prawn Noodle the soup must be good and with good succulent prawns. Went to this place to try out their Prawn Noodle as recommended by my colleague.

Their normal Prawn Noodle cost $4.50 if you want it with Pork Rib or other thing price range is from $5.50 onwards which is a little costly. I realize their rice vermicelli is not those fine type but serve in a thicker kind of rice vermicelli which is what I like. Their soup taste good but I find it a bit too oily for my liking. The prawn itself is fresh and the prawn shell can be easily peel off. We also order some fried Ngoh Hiang to go with which is selling beside the Prawn Noodle stall, worth giving a try.

Dumpling Festival, Duan Wu Jie

2010-06-16T10:42:00.001+08:00

Today is the Dumpling Festival Duan Wu Jie in chinese. Duan Wu Jie is a widely celebrated festival amongst the Chinese, to pay respect to the patriotic poet, Qu Yuan (pronounced as Chue Yuan). The legend involves a really long and complicated throne-fighting war and political history. But to make a long story short: Qu Yuan was an important minister back in Chu Kingdom in ancient China. He had been known for his loyalty for the emperor of Chu, and loved his country greatly. However, His Majesty had not taken Qu Yuan's advice seriously, and he eventually got himself trapped and captured in a foreign land by his enemies, which then lead to his own death.

Sad and angry at the corrupted, dying Kingdom, Qu Yuan tied himself to a big rock and threw himself into the River of Puo Luo. The people then made rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves and threw them into the river. They believed this would stop the fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. Some would even row down stream in a boat, beating drums and shouting out loud in the hope to scare the fish away (it was believed that it is how the Dragon Boat event is related to the festival.

Since then, the 5th day of the 5th month in the Chinese calendar has been set as Duan Wu Festival to remember the incident. Although there were versions of legends and stories that indicate Duan Wu has existed way before Qu Yuan's death, the tradition still carries on.
The rice dumplings (ZongZi) are glutinous rice (wrapped in bamboo leaves, or other large leaves (lotus is one of the more commonly used leaves). You can find all sorts of different fillings in the rice: pork, roast pork, chestnut, egg, salted egg, mushroom, red bean, or just simply without filling. They could be just white rice dumpling (not pre-fried), or brown (pre-fried with soya sauce).

Last but not least this is also the day whereby my beloved granny will make us some delicious rice dumpling too but sad to say I am not able to have it anymore. This day will also make me remember her and her one and only granny rice dumpling that she use to make for us.

2010-06-15T11:10:00.001+08:00

Read up quite a lot of good review from this seafood place so we went to tried it when we were at Batam. Taxi driver know this place so there is no worry of getting lost. This place looks like our Newton Circle in Singapore as there is a few different stall selling seafood and BBQ stuff. What amazed me is they have live band singing here so you can also enjoy it while having your dinner. I will prefer to eat here than Delima seafood which is near Waterfront. It is so much cleaner than Delima and the food portion is definitely better and of course the price here is also more worth than Delima.

We choose Sin Hai San seafood and we ordered a Seafood Soup, Oyster Vegetable, Hotplate Deer Meat, Chilli LaLa and Butter Crayfish. We wanted to order Chilli Crab but I guess we had already ordered too much for 2 person so we give it a miss. Food wise is not bad, my favorite dishes is their Butter Crayfish and the juicy tender Deer Meat. Total bill is around $30SG for the above we ordered which is really worth it. After a heavy dinner we decided to walked back to our hotel instead of taking a cab. Do drop by to this place for a try if you happen to visit Batam.

Straits Cafe @ Hotel Rendezvous

2010-06-10T10:22:00.002+08:00

One of my best sister had organize a buffet gathering so we went to Straits Cafe to try out their buffet. One minus point is the restaurant feel warm it seems like the air-con temperature was not cooling enough. The buffet spread consists of some Japanese, Western and Local style.

Must try:
Fresh Juicy Oyster
Sashimi
Nonya Laksa (You can add in any ingredients that you like)
Mee Siam
Grilled Prawn
Durian Fudge Cake

Soup Restaurant

2010-06-10T09:27:00.004+08:00

I guess I don't need to intro much on this restaurant. Their specialist dish is their Samsui Ginger Chicken, a must to go with their garlic sauce. I personally feel that if this is serve with chicken rice it will taste nicer instead of plain rice. We order a fried tofu and their soup of the day to go along with. Their fried tofu has nothing to shout about, their soup of day is Lotus Soup with Pork Rib. I like the soup it taste sweet and nice but it may not suit everyone taste bud as there is dry cuttlefish added inside the soup so to some it may taste 'fishy and smelly'. Total bill cost about $50 for 2 person which I find is a little costly.

Song Fa Day & Night Bak Kut Teh

2010-06-07T11:04:00.002+08:00

Bak Kut Teh, Bak Kut Teh, Bak Kut Teh I simply love Bak Kut Teh :D My colleague drove us to this place for Ba Kut Teh for lunch. There are 2 types of Bak Kut Teh, the clear peppery ones and the black herbal ones. SongFa belongs to the peppery type, for me I will prefer herbal type which my friends say is Malaysia kind of Ba Kut Teh.

They have two kinds of ribs for you to choose from, I will prefer the ribs with less fatty meat. My colleague also order a big plate of Braised Pig Trotter the meat is very tender and not tough. I also order a plate of Braised Pig Intestine but I was disappointed because their Pig Intestine was not soft but taste like rubber to me. We also order Yu Tiao and Salted Vegetable to go with.

Overall this place was good, their soup was not those type that will choke you and their soup is refillable. One funny incident happen when I was there. I am a person who can't finish a bowl of rice so I asked the waitress to add rice so I can share it with one of my colleague. The waitress ask me to take a small bowl of rice instead and when the rice was serve I don't see any big difference between my rice and my colleague one and the funny thing is irregardless big or small bowl the price is only 10cents different.

If you are a Bk Kut Teh lover like me you should come down and give it a try.

Domino's Pizza

2010-06-07T10:18:00.005+08:00

My friends has order this for our little gathering, so far I have tried Pizza hut and Californian pizza but not this. Domino's Pizza stated 30min for their delivery services end up this pizza was late for an hour. Delivery of the pizza to my friends place is less than 10min but the driver can get lost for an hour without calling my friend for direction. The kids are starving already and pizza was getting cold when it arrived. Not much comment on this pizza, I only can say pizza will only be nice if is serve hot.

La Cantina

2010-06-02T10:52:00.004+08:00

I had heard from my friends that the ambiance of this restaurant is very beautiful so I decided to choose this place for a special occasion. I made a reservation at 6pm hope to catch the sunset while enjoying our dinner as I had requested to have the seat at their open area.

Is definitely a right choice to come here. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice the open area was very windy and we manage to watch the sunset while having our dinner, it was beautiful. We order a Hawaiian pizza which only comes in one size, Calamari which was recommended and their famous dish Crab meat Pasta.

Dinner for 2 cost about $90, which isn't too expensive considering the quantity of food we ordered. Sure, the quantity isn't top notch but its still decent Italian fare with huge portions to boot. Throw in the excellent and service is definitely worth a revisit.

Farmland Porridge Steamboat

2010-06-01T12:51:00.001+08:00

After buying our groceries at JB we head to Farmland for our dinner. Farmland is futher up from JB the only way to get there is by car and not forgetting GPS to lead the way.

This place wasn't packed even is a weekend. Mostly people bring their family here for dinner. They only comes in either set menu or ala-carte but not buffet style. We choose ala-carte as there is more varieties to choose from. The steamboat was serve in claypot unlike the usual metal pot and it is porridge base so it can be quite filling. The porridge was very smooth and with all the added ingredients to it makes the porridge taste sweeter. Their food is very fresh and there is plenty of choice for you to choose. Total bill was less than $50RM for 2 person but also have to depend on what you order. I will come back again probably will ask some friends to join in too.

2010-06-01T10:40:00.003+08:00

This place was recommended by one of my friend. It is a nice place to laid back and enjoy the sunset but going to this place might be a little difficult as it is towards the end of the seletar camp. This place are famous for their buffalo wings they have different level of spiciness and their highest level was 30 and if you can manage to conquer this level they will give you a certificate with your name on it. Those who can't take spicy may try up to level 5. They also serve other food but I will say their food prices are a bit steep.

2010-06-01T10:14:00.001+08:00

Anyone miss this? I will always eat A&W when I go Batam or Bangkok just can't help it cause this is already missing in Singapore. I love their curly fries, root beer float, waffle ice cream and their fried chicken it seems better than other places. But I miss their corny hotdog but they don't have it in Batam.

Nando's Chicken

2010-05-31T16:49:00.008+08:00

This is their first branch in Singapore I heard they have it in most part of Malaysia. Went over to try during lunch time, it was pack and the queue was very long and they don't take any reservation so if you really want to eat than you just have to wait. We went in a group so we order the family size for 4 pax to share, it comes with a whole chicken and 4 large sides to choose from the menu. The sides are not really large and I find that the chicken is too small to share among 4 people especially if you have a big eater like guys. There is also a few level of spiciness for you to choose from so we go for the mild. I can't really taste the spicyness maybe next time I will try the 'hot'.

Nando's Chicken 'Mild' level

Tender but serve warm and not hot. Try to go with their special sauce taste nice too.

Sugar Granny Café has a perfect blend of old and modern deco and is definitely an idle place to relax, recharge and maybe a place to hang around with your friends. With a couple of old posters plastered on the wall and the old styled furniture, time seems to just stand still while you tuck into the limited but delicious menu options. The people there are friendly and warm and it’s no doubt that you’ll be a fan on your first visit.

Marutama Ramen

2008-12-19T12:19:00.006+08:00

Marutama Ramen is a small cosy ramen shop in The Central. Serve only 3 kinds of Ramen my colleague and I order the Spicy Ramen with addition Hanjuku egg at $1 extra. The Ramen was serve with only a slice pork with radish. The soup is spicy for me but is still nice I almost finish the whole bowl of soup so you can imagine how nice it was. My colleague ask me to add some fried garlic which makes the soup taste more tasty and fragrant. The Ramen itself is very Q and nice. I like the Hanjuku egg is a halfboiled egg in soy sauce was good, fragrant and with a lovely soft centre. As for the slice pork is very tender very thinly slice and it seems to melt in your mouth type. Their service is very friendly too they serve you a jug of ice water with nice colourful cup once you are seated.

Cafe Windsor

2008-12-19T11:55:00.005+08:00

After watching the show introducing to the porridge buffet I decide to bring my mother in law to try out. The price is $10.80++ for adult and $4.80++ for children. I call them to reserve but they say they don't take any reservation. When we reach there the queue was scary and the manager of the cafe inform us that we may need to wait at least an hour and so we wait. The service there is not good because while we are waiting for our turn one of the waitress simply shout 'any 4 person' and the group right behind us just cut our queue like this. You have to pay at the counter before going in. I didn't manage to take alot of picture cause I too busy taking the food hehe.. The people there is also quite scary in the sense they rush to take food as if the food is not going to be refill.

For variety wise I can say not much like 10 dishes but they do change their menu once in a while. I like their sweet potato porridge and the soya chicken is very tender and nice. They also have prawn not bad is quite fresh. Other than porridge they also have noodle. They also have ice cream just get into the queue and there is a waitress who will scoop for you.

What I dislike is their service is not good at all they are not attentive and slow in clearing the table that why the queue has to wait so long. Not enough plates, cutlery, cup have to wait also. Price is affordable will consider coming back.

The Pizza Place

2008-11-25T10:47:00.007+08:00

Colleague suggest to go The Pizza Place at Raffles City for lunch and they told me have to wait pretty long as their pizza is freshly made on the spot. They come in 3 size regular, medium and large I realize their price is slightly expensive compare to Pizza hut. FYI they don't serve ice water here.

Royal King pizza regular size I hope I never get the name wrong. It comes in 4 slice the best I like about this pizza is that the bread is not thick. The chicken meat is not dry unlike some other than I ate. My colleague also recommend their pizza call 'cheese burger' I will try for my next visit.

My colleague order Beef Lasagne I had a bite of it the taste was quite nice too.

No.3 Crab Delicacy

2008-11-25T10:18:00.004+08:00

NO.3 Crab Delicacy located at Outram. Is a shophouse along the famous Tiong Bahru Pau. When I reach there a guy come up to me and serve me I told him I am taking away. He is very friendly he will introduce to me what is their specialist there. In the end I order a Black peper crab and LaLa. The guy ask me to take a seat and get a waitress to serve me tea while waiting. Later I realise he is actually the boss.

Their black peper crab is not those that is very dry but it comes with a little sauce. The boss is very thoughtful as I told him only for 2 person he suggest me to take small crab but is not really that small. I find is not spicy enough but the sauce is nice and special unlike other black peper crab I ate.
$38/kg

I like their LaLa thou it looks pretty normal but the sauce is nice and sweet plus a little spicy.
$12 for small serving

I-chai Popiah

2008-11-25T10:06:00.007+08:00

Hi I am back it been quite some time since my last post. What you see below is I-chai Popiah from Serangoon garden chomp chomp. I guess alot people will drop by chomp chomp for dinner or supper and as usual most of them will order BBQ Stingray etc... But this time round I tried something different. I happen to saw this stall selling popiah than I realise it was adver on TV quite some time agao. They have 9 different kind of Popiah inculde the original type. I tried the Prawn popiah it was very nice. Some popiah is very wet but not for this and it was crunchy. I will try other popiah flavor when I go chomp chomp again.

Tampopo at Liang Court

2008-10-24T10:12:00.006+08:00

Heard good reviews of Tampopo from other foodblogs so decide to give a tried for dinner. We make a reservation at 7pm when we reach Tampopo it was not crowded yet. Their service is good they smile and greet you and attentive. By 7.30pm the crowd started to come in and soon it was full house. On the menu I saw that they have different grade of the black pig this is the first time I saw it sound so interesting. Here what we order

Cheese Katsu $16 I find the price a little steep for a deep fried pork with cheese but you wouldn't regret ordering it if you are a person who like cheese. Eat it while is hot as it won't taste nice once the cheese is cold. Crispy at the outer and cheesy inside with a touch of tangy lemon and the meat is tender, nice.

Ice Green tea unsweetened this is what my friend order. I find that is very cute as they serve with such a small cup.

Ramen Tonkatsu I shouldn't have order this when I already order the cheese katsu. But of course is different as this katsu does not contain cheese. Is almost the same as the cheese katsu is crispy at the outer and the meat is tender. As for the ramen they cook it just nice not too soft or hard as for the soup it may look hot and spicy but is mild and I find it a little too salty.

Black pig sabu sabu their specialist here and this is what my friend order. He too find that the soup was salty but he like the ramen. The meat was tender but I still wondering what the different between black pig and those normal pig maybe someone can solve my puzzle hehe... I will come again to try other item the total bill come up to $53 for 2/pax.

Free salad with your DBS or POSB credit card

Coke float with chocolate ice cream

Calamari taste chewy and not very hard unlike some it taste like rubber but now this

Pepperoni pizza that what I order. I am glad it is thin crust as I find bread will be too filling. As for this is crispy at the edge and very cheesy I will try other pizza again

Fish and chip I have tried this before the fish is crispy and soft and it does not have the 'fishy' taste, nice

Meatball spaghetti my colleague let me tried some of the meatball. The meat is soft and goes well with the sauce, can try

I forgotten the name of this dish but I did tried a piece of the sausage hehe... Nothing to comment about but they come with sauce for you to go with

Popeye

2008-10-14T14:41:00.011+08:00

If I happen to go airport I will sure drop by to Popeye simply love their fried chicken, cajun fries, mash potatoe and butter biscuits. Now not only Terminal 1 has it but Terminal 3 and Singapore Flyer have Popeye and my girl can watch Popeye cartoon while enjoying her meal. For me I prefer Popeye over KFC.

Order a 2pcs meal and upsize to get a extra side so I get cajun fries. I will prefer thigh part but at Popeye they will charge you 50cents extra for changing the parts. The skin is not oily and very crispy. The wings is nice compare to breast meat which is slightly drier. The biscuits taste very buttery it look like scone to me but it taste much more softer.

I love their mashed very unlike to those normal mashed it has meat and contain some spice in it which make it more tasty than others.

I love Botak Jones burger and their cajun fries so me and my friend went over to lower delta on the weekend for lunch.

I order a Thai sauce burger even is only a single patty I already find it very filling. The sauce taste sweet and sour as for the beef it was juicy and goes well with the cheese and sauce.

My friend order Cajun Chicken I have try it but I wonder have they cook the chicken well as I don't find it tender as it was. It was quite filling too as my friend couldn't finish it but I can say it taste nice.

Tea House at Raffles City

2008-10-07T11:55:00.008+08:00

Went over to Tea House at Raffles City for lunch with my colleague. My colleague recommend their speciality herbal duck they say is very nice must try. There is 5 of us and so we order 1/2 Herbal duck, Mixed Vegetable, Duo Miao, Omelette, Rice and Fried Banana with Red Bean and Mango Sago for desert.

Their menu

The Herbal taste is very mild but I give 2 thumbs up for the Herbal Duck is was juicy and tender. The Mixed Vegetable is very tasty too.

I can say the Omettle is like those grandma type kinda of tradition style as it have chinese sauages and prawn in it. Duo Miao is one of my favourite vegetable as for this it taste just nice but they only have one serving which is kinda of small for 5 people.

Time for desert my colleague order this Mango Sago. The soup is made from cocount very creamy and sweet and the mango is very fresh too.

This is what I order Fried Banana with Red Bean paste. This has attract me when I saw it on the menu. The Banana fritter was very crispy and the Red Bean paste was very smooth and not too sweet which is just nice to me. The sauce beside is to dip with the Banana fritter I still prefer to eat it without the sauce.

Pie Kia

2008-10-07T11:34:00.009+08:00

There was once my colleague brought this Pie call 'Pie Kia' for breakfast smell yummy so I ask him to help me buy for the next round. Pie Kia in our Hokkien dialect means Gangster what a funny and cute name they give to their store. And they name their large Pie call 'Dua Pie Kia' meaning Big Gangster so cute. They come in different flavour like Ham and Cheese, Roasted Chicken, Black Pepper Chicken, Curry Chicken the rest I can't remember already. Greedy me I order 2 Pie Kia for my breakfast.

A cute plastic carrier

One of it was Ham and Cheese another was Roasted Chicken. I will prefer Roasted Chicken over Ham and Cheese maybe is because of the sauce in Roasted Chicken. Not forgetting the skin of the pie is very crispy and flaky.

I order Pork Rib La Mian and my friend order their new dish Fried Beef Noodle. We added 2 side dishes Xiao Long Pao my another favourite and Red Bean Pancake for desert.

La Mian is very 'Q' and the soup is light and nice. I find the Pork Rib meat is just nice not too hard and not to soft.

Xiao long bao, little steamed dumplings filled with pork, hot jus and goodness.

Red bean paste pancake, crispy and sweet.

Siam Kitchen

2008-09-26T15:37:00.008+08:00

My friend and I went to try out Siam Kitchen for lunch. I quite like Thai food is hot and spicy especially Tom Yum soup. We order Garlic Fried Kangkong, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Seafood Tom Yum Soup, Green Curry and Chendol for our desert.

They serve us 'Keropok' is name Prawn Cracker call in Malay before our dishes come. I tried dip the cracker into their sweet and spicy chilli it taste quite nice hehe...

Here come our dishes the rice was serve in a big bowl we just take what ever we want and if you need more just ask them to refill. For Kangkong I will always order Sambal type but I try something different for this time round. The vegetable is crunchy and fragant very nice as for the Green curry my friend find it nice but I don't quite like it maybe I find it too thick or maybe I still prefer those chinese red curry

This Sweet and Sour taste good, the sesame has make the chicken more fragant. Is crispy, tender and juicy I like this dish alot. Those who like sweet and sour got to tried this.

This Tom Yum soup is nice but too spicy for me. It is a small serving for one person only luckily I am sharing with my friends if not I won't be able to finish it. There is plenty of ingredient inside like squid, mushroom, fish and meat.

After a spicy battle time to cool off with a icing desert, Chendol. It is a traditional desert originating from Indonesia but is also quite popular in Singapore. This desert consist of shaved ice, coconut milk, starch noodles with green food coloring (usually sourced from the pandan leaf), and palm sugar, Red beans and Grass jelly.

2008-09-24T11:08:00.005+08:00

After lunch we went to shop around and later we went to Taman Sentosa to grab our dinner. Heard alot of good review that the seafood there is cheap and nice.

We order Stingray, Fried baby squid, Sambal kangkong and Cereal Crayfish total only cost us less than $60rm for 2 pax.

Quite a big portion, spicy and nice. Don't forget the chilli is nice too.

I love their Cereal crayfish the fried cereal was fragrant and nice. The meat itself was was juicy and tender. The Fried baby squid was crispy and the Sambal kangkong wasn't that spicy just nice for me.

Cooling off with a Coconut water.

Wong Kok Char Chan Teng @ J.B City Square (Part 1)

2008-09-24T10:14:00.007+08:00

Had been to City Square a couple of times but never tried this before so my friend and I decide to tried it for our lunch. We order Sechuan Spicy noodle, Pork Rib noodle, Waffle ice cream which is one of my favourite and Chocolate fondue. For our drinks we got Sour Plum juice and Lemon grass juice I happen to found out that their drinks are serve in jug and different shape of it.

Wow I was suprise that their juice was such a large serving. The waffle is nice and it was different from the waffle I ate in Singapore not only chocolate fudge but it also has peanut butter on it.

A mini chocolate fondue after finishing up the fondue I still don't know if I should pour the milk into the chocolate hehe....

Pork rib noodle the taste was average as what my friend told me.

This noodle isn't spicy but I like the soup is quite nice.

Western food at AMK S-11

2008-09-23T17:33:00.006+08:00

Laksa Steamboat

2008-09-23T15:23:00.006+08:00

Sometimes back I heard about this newly open Laksa Steamboat so decide to try with my friends. If I am not wrong is one and only steamboat with Laksa soup base. But they have laksa soup and also chicken soup for those who can't take spicy. They have around 50 items on the menu but they are all ala carte. I love their meat is like those japanese sabu sabu very thinly slice and fresh. Talking about the Laksa soup I give my 2 thumbs up the soup is very thick, fragant and even after drinking a few bowls you won't feel sick of it but will crave for more. About the chicken soup I think I still prefer Laksa thou I am not a chilli eater but this soup is alright to me. Don't forget to dip with their own made sambal chilli is very nice too. Estimate is about $15/pax but it depends on what you order.

Was craving for Claypot rice so I met up with my buddy to go to Chinatown for a nice and yummy claypot dinner. It was located above 'CK department store' and it was right at a corner. We order a Mixed Claypot Rice and a Watercress soup. We waited for 30mins before the food was serve while waiting I went to order a desert as it look interesting to me. It was Ice Red Bean with Peanut with gula melakan. Finally our rice is here it was piping hot and a huge serving. We never expected it was so much but lucky my buddy is a big eater hehe....

We pour some dark soya sauce and sesame oil into the rice and mixed well. The rice was fragant and not too hard it was just nice and the meat was very tender. The soup was light and refreshing and I heard Watercress soup is good for removing heatiness.

Located at #02-203/4 Chinatown Complex, Blk 335 Smith Street.
