Baby Chiffon Pandan Kaya OK Apr 11, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Bakery | Halal

I was at Woodlands and need a light snack so I bought the Prima Deli Baby Chffon Pandan kaya.  Each pack comes with 6 chiffon cake.  Once the packet is opened, there is strong aroma of pandan.  The chiffon is soft and light.  There is no butter.  At the bite, there is slight spread of kaya in the chiffon.
The chiffon is good for children party.  However, adult eater will find that the chiffon does not satisfy the hunger.

Zaffron Kitchen serves an excellent mix of North, South and local Indian favourites. The restaurant displays pictures of Indian lifestyle.  It is a modern restaurant does not give the impression of dining at Little Indian or Race course type restaurant.  The restaurant is very IT savy as menu is presented in iPad.
I was at Westgate and  wanted to try Indian Cuisine and ordered the followings  :
Rice :
a) Naan :  It is plain Nann.  It is just as good as Roti Prata except that it is not oily.       The Naan is very crispy.
b) Basmati Biryani Rice : The rice has not have fragrance.
c) Plain rice : The rice is soft. 
Tandoori Mixed Grill (Vegetarian) ($29) comprises Panner Tikka, Tandoori Gobi and Tandoori Mushroom.  Most of the dishes are very done.  The dish is spicy for Chinese diner.
Okra Masala ($10.50) is a delicious lady finger dish flavoured with an array of spices like coriander, turmeric, cumin seeds, cayenne.  The lady fingers is not the ordinary long and 10 cents width lady finger.  The finger is very thin and short.  I did not taste of the gel of the lady finger.  
Palak Pareer ($13) is a vegetarian dish with Indian Cottage Cheese served in rich spinach  gravy.  This dish is good to dip with Naan as the gravy is thick.
Mutton Rogan Josh ($15.50) is a low fat and mildy spiced lamb curry.  Usually, there is a smell for mutton but this dish does not evolve any smell. I believe the works of spices do a great job.  Its meat is tender and really no fat.  As for the gravy, it looks oily but forget about it.  Taste it to believe that it is really good.
Butter chicken is the signature dish.  Chicken Tikka marinated in a delightful yogurt and spice mixture and simmered in a rich tomato, cashew nuts, butter flavoured gravy accented with dry fenugreek.  This dish tastes better with served with rich or Naan.  The chicken is well marinated.  The bite of chicken was tasty. The gravy is thick and buttery and yet not strong in spices aroma.
All the dishes were prefect.
The waitress was fast in serving and also display its art of making Teh Tari.

Breakfast Reception Cry Apr 03, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Halal

I had the following food as my breakfast catered :
Sandwiches – There were tomatoes with cucumber.  The smell was unpleasant.  I believe that it was poor quality butter used and early preparation of the sandwiches together with the juice absorbed from the vegetables had created this unpleasant smell.  As the smell was unpleasant, the taste was below expectation.
Trellis Yam Roll – This was deep fried yam roll.  The yam roll was hard and not crispy.
Vegetarian Fried Bee Hoon – There was generous sliced mushroom  spread over the bee hoon.  The bee hoon is slighty moist but it was still alright.
Mini Oreo Cheese Cake – This is the only item which I enjoyed.  Oreo cookie was spread over the cheese cake.  The cake was still chilling.  The cake was cut in small square cube.
Among the dishes, I enjoyed the fried bee hoon and cheese cake.

Lunch Meal at D'Fine Cry Apr 01, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Halal


The Office Stall Wellbeing Committee had catered food for lunch.  These are the dishes we had ordered :

BBQ chicken in Mushroom Sauce – The chicken was tender and the mushroom sauce made the chicken moist.
Thai Mango Chicken – The fruit chicken made it refreshing with its fruity taste. It has a bite of grilled chicken mixed with the mango.
Green Vegetable with Mushroom – the vegetable is crunchy but the mushroom can be seen as it is not the full mushroom.  It looked more like the canned mushroom.
Tofu with seafood – The tofu with seafood was food.  If lucky, I can see the medium sized fresh prawn.  It was like digging for treasure.  The tofu was not sour and neither hard.
Grilled Fish Fillet with Fruit Topping -  This is an unusual item with fruit topping and grilled fish.  However, the grilled fish had mixed with the fruit topping when arrival.  Thus, the grilled fish was soaked with the salad and had made the fish soften.  However, the taste was still good.
Golden Butterfly Prawn with Salad Dip – The butterfly prawn was heavily coated with high layer of flour and the prawn is very small.  A very disappointing dish.
Golden Seafood Wanton – The wanton was wrapped with seafood ball.  When peeled the wanton skin to see what was the seafood, I could not distinguish what seafood.  It looked more like the seafood paste.
Chicken Ngoh Hiang Roll – The Ngoh Hiang roll was good.  There were carrot shred and chicken paste roll to the bean curd skin.
Yang Zhou Fried Rice – The yang zhou fried rice was fried with cut carrot and green pea.  The taste was lend but with the dishes to go with, it was alright.
Sago Honey Dew – There were more honey dew than sago.  The sago spread was not generous.  The drink was not thicken with coconut milk.  It was alright.
Bird Nest Cordial – The bird nest cordial was coloured with bright yellow.  It looked more like urine to me and disguising.  I don’t know why it was called bird nest when there was no bird nest.  A lousy drink to consider.
Given a grade from 1 to 10, I would grade 3 over 10 as the score.

Breakfast at Ikea OK Mar 20, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western Variety | Kids-Friendly

I had breakfast at Ikea Alexandra branch.  The mee siam was served in a bowl rather than shallow plate.  I prefer mee siam served in bowl as the bee hoon is fully soaped in the bowl and the bee hoon can be soften. I added lime juice onto the mee siam and the taste is perfect to be sour.  The egg given is half sized hard boiled egg.  There is strong egg yolk flesh smell.  There is little bean curb.  One problem is that the mee siam soup is not steaming hot.  I prefer soup to be steaming hot.
As I prefer hot beverage, I had my cup of coffee after I had finished my bowl of mee siam.  I added 1/3 packet of sugar and one packet of creamer on the black coffee.  There isn’t strong coffee aroma but one thing that is certain is that the coffee can keep me await the whole day.  I was still await  that night. 
Another thing that I notice that bowl and cup are served in glassware.  Food which are served in glassware makes a difference in the taste. 
I enjoyed my breakfast meal at Ikea.
