Indian murtabak OK Aug 10, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indian | Hawker Centre

At this newly restored site call lao pa sat, it has a wide variety of local food. Lots of tourists will come here to have a taste of local hawker dishes.

There are quite a few Indian stalls here. at this particular one, I had the chicken prata set which cost $5.50 and the chicken murtabak which cost $12. Both dishes are not bad. As I do not always order murtabak thus is is hard to judge the standard. But as a newbie it taste not bad.
The only down side is that it is a but pricey!

Cheated 'seafood' set OK Aug 05, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Food Court

Amongst many kopitiams opened islandwide in Singapore, Kopi Seletar is one of the branches. Situated in Greenwich V, a 2 - storey neighbourhood centre along Seletar Road, this is another food court by Kopitiam. There is a wide variety of dishes to select from. There is ban mian, yong tau foo, Korean, Western, chicken rice, dumpling noodles and mixed vegetable rice etc.

During lunch time, shuttle buses from various companies will fetch their staff here for lunch so try to avoid the lunch crowd. In this small mall, there's not much affordable food except for this kopitiam and toast box beside. 2nd level is mainly restaurants.

I went to try the seafood stall at the very end. It seems to be owned by the same person as the mixed vegetable stall. The food they sell is like Zi char style, with fried rice, noodles, pork and chicken Thai style rice, and these wok rice. However, this one is not served in those silver woks, it comes in a normal plate.

On the menu are nice photos of the food they sell and vegetable can be added on to make it into a set. Each set cost S$5.80. I ate the thai style sweet and spicy chicken rice. The thai sauce is not bad, sweetness and spiciness is mixed equally, one is not covering the other's taste. The egg served is runny but you can tell that they reuse the oil to fry because it is dark brown in colour. To my disappointment is the vegetable, it is suppose to be added on to make up a set but they gave only a few strands and placed it together on the same plate. It seems like i'm eating the mixed vegetable rice but yet I cannot choose the dishes. And the mixed vegetable only cost S$3.50 for 2 meat and 1 vegetable.

If I disregard the appearance of the dish and just judge by the taste, it is still acceptable for a meal, but not justifiable for the cost. I could have eaten something else at the kopitiam.

I went to this restaurant call Pasta Fresco at Boat Quay on a Monday night to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was not difficult to find. Just along the river. There is alfresco and indoor dining. We made a reservation for 7. It was only able to hold 2 more tables together with us indoors. Outside is much more spacious. 

Looks like a  authentic Italian restaurant like those you would find in Italy. However, the staff was not very friendly, they did not greed us with a smile when they serve and take our orders. 

I ordered the Al Quartto Formaggi which is the one shown below. It consist of 4 different types of cheese including blue cheese. Looks a bit bland because it is all in the same colour. Has a good taste of the cheese but seems like simply a really creamy pasta. Not super fantastic, I feel. And the spaghetti is a little hard for my liking. 
There are actually a lot of pasta choices to choose from. From thick ones like tagliatelle to rounded ones like gnocchi. You name it they have it.
We also ordered the Parma Ham Pizza,  which is the Chef's recommendation. Was quite huge and worth it. Crust was thin but a bit hard, topped with slices of parma ham though it was a bit salty. Perhaps it is due to the parma ham, which is a bit salty by nature. 

The staff was kind enough to help us keep our birthday cake in the fridge and constantly refill our plain water. Their menu has quite a variety as well, from starters to pasta to pizza to risotto to calzone to dessert. 

Overall, the experience was ok. Not too expensive.  Pasta is less than S$20. There are other more expensive Italian restaurants that cost more than $30. Pretty affordable like other cafes that serves pasta.

Cheap nasi Smile Aug 16, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Noodles

Located just opposite bugis street, Albert centre has many delicacies. One of them is the nasi lemak at the second row corner. It always has a queue but is relatively fast.

I love nasi lemak! I usually order set 2. The rice is fragrant, chicken wing is crispy and tasty, the egg is running, peanuts and ikan billis is crunchy and well-fried. Most importantly, it only cost S$2.50. Super worth it! Sometimes, I will even have craving for this. I have a friend from Hong Kong who fell for nasi lemak because of this. There are other sets available and you can choose ala carte as well. They also have beehoon and noodles.

blackball Smile Aug 16, 2014

Categories : Taiwanese | Chinese Desserts | Bubble Tea/ Tea

Blackball is a Taiwan dessert eatery place. The best is the blackball signature. There is a choice of temperature, hot, warm, cold or icy. I prefer the warm one as the cold one is like ice kacang. The warm one is served with milk and inside there are all types of balls. Like yam balls, pumpkin balls, pearls, green tea, red bean etc topped with grass jelly. It is delicious. If you like milk tea, this sweet dish is a must try. The cold one will get diluted when the ice melt and it will muster the taste of the dessert.
