I had a house warming party. The host catered a wonderful meal. As it was a Teochew family, we had hong bak, Ngo Hiang, sweet sour fish, fried chicken and broccoli mushroom as vegetable.

The hongbak bun was soft and warm. The 3 layer pork meat was not too fat to consider as a whole piece. The sauce was thick and sipped through the soft and warm bun made the bun and meat soft to eat. I had several servings.

The next dish that I liked was the Ngo Hiang. The Ngo Hiang was not rolled loosely. It was stuff with spicy meat and vegetable. It was still crispy when it was served.

The sweet sour fish was a general dish that scattered with sour plum sauce to enhance the taste. However, the cook did not use thick flour to wrap the meat so I could enjoy the fleshy part of the fish.

The fried chicken was well portion with beast part, wing or mini drumlet. The meat was not dried as it was well marinated and still juicy.

The vegetable mushroom was well cut with the right size to eat comfortably. The broccoli was not overdone.

I enjoyed the meal.

I was tired after a long walk along Orchard Road and wanted to rest my aching feet so I decided to entered the Coffee Club and order 2 cup of latte coffee.
The crew took sometime to heat the coffee maker. However, the wait was not long as we were enjoying the ambience. The restaurant was quiet and the crew was courtesy in his service. The place was also clean and there were sufficient seat arrangement such as round table for a large group.

When the hot coffee was placed on our dining table, the decoration make over the coffee top was lovely. I delayed my drink as I did not want to damage the drawing done by the crew. I supposed that it required a long of time to reach to level of drawing wonderful drawing on the coffee. The coffee was smooth and thick in texture. There was strong coffee aroma. As I love hot drink, I finished the cup of coffee before the steam vanished.

I attended a Guess event. In conjunction with the event, the Guess has catered One Paradise Catering to customize the refreshment.

The customized refreshment were Éclair, cupcake and macaron. The Éclair was soft and still chilling. It was as good as eating ice cream. The chocolate coat was neither too hard nor soft. The skin texture was soft and the cream melt together with the skin.

The cupcakes were customized with the Guess logo. It was a layer of icing sugar. I did not eat as I did not want to consume too much sugar. The vanilla cupcake was delicious.

The most interesting was the macaron. It was colourful displayed on the table. I could not resist and ate at least 5 macaron. The texture was firm and the cream was still not creamy.

I enjoyed the refreshment.

I was at Ang Mo Kio Hub and there was a Chinese New Year cookie roadshow. Many of the vendors mainly from Heartland confectionary or factory participated in the roadshow.

The store which I stopped by was Dora Keiki. The pricing of the Heartland Confectionary is much cheaper than the stalls participated at Takashimaya. The price ranges from $15.80 and below. I consider the pricing is reasonable.

At Dora Keiki, I tasted the pineapple tart. It was soft and butter flavour was not heavy. Otherwise, the butter flavour could have overshadowed the pineapple filling and makes no meaning to have the pineapple filling. The pineapple tart is big and heavy.

The next item which I tasted was the green pea cookie. Instead of flour, green pea has replaced flour. Having green pea as flour base will make a healthy eating choice. However, gout eater will have to take note.

The love letter was thin and long. It does not break easily and leads to no waste of love letter droppings.

I love the pineapple tart and the green pea as they do not have butter flavour.

I was at Ang Mo Kio Hub and there was a Chinese New Year cookie roadshow. Many of the vendors mainly from Heartland confectionary or factory participated in the roadshow.

The store which I stopped by was Selvni. Selvni claims that its cookies are Home Make. Each can is selling at $12.50. As for this week promotion, the cookies are selling at $20 for two cans of any choices.

The promoter offered me Selvni’s pineapple tart. The tart was big. Even the tart was cut to half, it still looked big and heavy. The pineapple filling still looked raw and juicy.

The promoter offered me a tray of the cookies. I sampled Kueh Bangkit, shrimp roll and peanut cookies. The cookies are low sugar content.

The special cookies that only Selvni is known as ‘Romeo Cookie’. I don’t know it is named Romeo. I don’t find the taste any extraordinary. It tasted like any of the ordinary cookies. I teased the promoter if Selvni has Julie, the promoter claimed that ‘Julie Cookie’ is at the main store. How I wished that ‘Julie Cookie’ is brought to the roadshow.

Generally, the cookie tasted alike like any of the store.
