Tasty pizza Smile Nov 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Desserts and Cakes | Pasta | Pizza

Came here at my friend's suggestion, as he stays around here and frequently buys the pizzas here which he says are good.

 
Rocket salad

The rocket salad was not bad, with shavings of cheese and sundried tomatoes.

 
Garlic bread

The garlic bread here is really special, as it's more like a garlic pizza instead. The crust is thin and crispy, but I think there's not enough garlic. Also, I'll prefer if they used minced garlic. For this version, only some slices of garlic were present, more towards the centre of the bread/pizza crust only.

 
Verdure pizza

The verdure pizza had tomato, mozzarella, zucchini, eggplant, capsicum. The vegetables added a nice refreshing contrast to the overall taste. The pizza crust was thin and the tomato base quite tasty.

 
Diavola pizza

If you are more of a meat-lover, the diavola pizza will be suitable. It has tomato, mozzarella and spicy salami which were given in generous slices and were tasty too.

The pizzas here are the Italian kinds with nice, thin pizza crusts. A nice place for gatherings and sharing of good pizzas.

Weekend high tea Smile Nov 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Hotel | High Tea | Dim Sum | Buffet

I came here with 2 of my girlfriends for the second seating at 3 pm. For $45++, you get quite a good selection of items buffet-style and choices of 2 drinks (tea blends or coffees).

Generally, the taste of the items here have their hits and misses. As the items are all labelled, you can choose those more suitable to your likings. The items are presented really prettily though. One item that stood out was the braised kurobuta pork which was very tender and tasty. The hazelnut creme brulee was also good as it had just the right amount of sweetness. There was also quite a selection of different cakes which were all quite nice. A word of warning for the soursop lime pudding though - it's extremely sour.

 

 

 

 

 

 
I tried the sweet france tea which was soothing and had a tinge of floral scent in the green tea. The alexandria tea had too strong of a mint taste to it, even though in the description the green tea was supposed to be subtly scented with mint.

All in all, the food here is generally not bad. At least there were quite a lot of choices available. The ambience was pretty good too, a nice place for a relaxing high tea session.

Nice fried kway teow Smile Nov 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Hawker Centre | Noodles

 
This stall has been here for many years, I've had it since I was young. Over the years, it has evolved to include more vegetables, which is a good move. I was happy that the stall owner obliged when I requested for more vegetables and did not charge me extra.

The fried kway teow here is cooked with pork lard - which contributes to its fragrance. It's also not too dry and oily. The amount of ingredients is generous too.

A satisfying plate of fried kway teow which I'll always order when I'm at this food centre. smile

Categories : Hainanese | Chicken Rice

I'm a bit disappointed with the rice offered here, as it tastes more like ordinary white rice instead of chicken rice.

 
- Half of a steamed white chicken

The chicken itself was not smooth and tender enough.

 
- Prawn rolls

The prawn rolls were much better, as they were very crispy and the filling was tasty.

 
- Pumpkin prawns

The pumpkin prawns were also good. They were fried to a nice crisp and coated with a smooth tasty pumpkin sauce. A healthy alternative to salted-egg prawn.

 
- Stir fried baby kai lan

The baby kai lan was average-tasting.

Perhaps this stall will fare better as a zi-char stall instead of a chicken rice restaurant......

Bak Chor Mee here is not bad Smile Nov 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Coffeeshop | Noodles

 
- Bak Chor Mee, $4

This stall here is open 24-hours and its bak chor mee is quite popular.

The bak chor mee here is definitely above-average, although I think it's pricey at $4. The soup that came with the noodles looked as if it was used to cook a lot of minced meat with, so I thought it should taste sweeter. However, it was just salty.

The noodles itself were cooked till springy and the flavouring was quite tasty too. Worth a try, especially if you are craving for bak chor mee in the middle of the night.
