Bangkok Jam not so Bangkok OK Jul 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Restaurant | Steaks and Grills | Kids-Friendly

 
Ate at Bangkok Jam some time ago, at their Great World City branch! I also went to their Plaza Singapura branch the other day, hahaha. Anyway, my favourite was the Banana Tempura dessert! *.*

 

 
Heard quite a bit of rave for these chicken wings. Not bad, but a tad too little meat I feel!

 

 
Banana Tempura

It wasn't very soggy as it looks. Mix the warm Banana with the cold ice cream, and you'll get the perfect combination!

Waited 3 hours! OK Jul 17, 2013

Finally caved in and visited the newly opened, cheapest Michelin Star restaurant, Tim Ho Wan, at Plaza Singapura with my parents on a Sunday.

My parents queued 3.5 hours to get in! Madness! O.O

 
BBQ Pork Bun was probably the only dish that made it worth it to eat at this place. I loved it piping hot and fresh out from the kitchen! The pork was rather juicy and the sauce was marvelous. It had this little bit of sweetness to it, a good balance between sweet and salty.

Other than that, I felt that it was kind of over-rated.

Not just fish & chips OK Jul 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Seafood | Halal | Kids-Friendly

 
Was at Manhattan Fish Market earlier this month to try out what they had for their Independence Day offer.

 
Fancy an accompaniment to your meals? I had the Cream of Mushroom soup. There were lots of mushrooms in it which I loved! I found it a bit watery though, but it wasn't too salty!

 
Poached mussels in signature Garlic Herb sauce, served with baguette to soak up the delicious sauce. The Garlic Herb sauce was bitter sweet but tantalizing, lingers well on the tongue. However, I felt that there was too much sauce and too little bread!

 
Hand battered fish fillets drizzled with garlic herb sauce, my tender dory fillets have improved in taste ever since the last time I had them. I found the garlic herb sauce pretty unique. My only concern is the fries that are rather salty to my liking.

For full post, read it here: http://www.iisjong.com/2013/07/just-like-it-revolutionary-f.html

I am always at Ang Mo Kio hub after school, because there's a bus home there (now y'all know where to stalk me, lol). A little over a month ago, the place started to change. There are new push cart shops beside the bus interchange area now!

 
There's this shop with staff clad in scientist robes doing "experiments", similar to what you'll see in a scientist's lab. It caught my eye for a long time. Initially, everyone who walked past took a glance, walking away eventually.

However, I noticed that it has been increasingly popular these days! Huge crowds gather as onlookers were curious what this mysterious shop was all about. I was one of them. Like they say, Singaporeans love to queue and be kaypoh, right?

 
I completely didn't have a single clue what they were selling. Drinks? Food? There were no signs, until you push through the crowd and look at the menu.

 

 
Turns out it's a new ice cream shop, and these were their claims. "How to make ice cream like that!?", were my first thoughts.

 
What they do is make ice cream fresh from scratch, so you have to wait for quite a bit. No worries because there is a queue number system. They put the ingredients into the ice cream mixer machine first. Cold liquid nitrogen gas was then blasted over the liquid mixture to freeze it.

 
Was pretty interesting to see the smoke mist coming out, which was what captured my attention and probably everyone else's in the first place.

 
My Say:

The ice cream had a velvety and smooth texture compared to normal ice cream. I feel that it was also "healthier" since there were no sugar added, bringing out the natural sweetness of the ingredient. This Durian Durian ice cream I had was made from pure D24 durian; you could taste some of the meat! It was pretty palatable.

 
New PopCorn, one of their signatures.

The balance in flavours was well-tipped and there were popcorn bits in the ice cream to give it a gritty texture to the smooth ice cream. There wasn't much of the popcorn taste though, it was pretty mild? You could also see that as compared to the Durian Durian, there was a huge difference in the amount of 1 scoop.

Apart from the gimmick concept of seeing your order freshly made before you, did the liquid nitrogen ice cream taste better? Hmm.. I would say it's so-so. Moreover, I think they made the ice cream cup by cup, taking up a lot of time. But to each his own!

Pepper Lunch @ NP! OK Jan 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Food Court | Steaks and Grills

For full review, read here: http://iisjong.blogspot.sg/2011/08/we-have-pepper-lunch-np-hor.html ;)

Pepper Lunch Express is available at Ngee Ann Polytechnic Block 73's Munch!

I got the salmon one with an additional egg, & it costed me $6.80! Price is quite alright as compared to normal Pepper Lunch stores I guess?

At one point, it seemed like the only queue at Munch was for Pepper Lunch! Every time I'm there, there's like forever a looooong queue.
Every table seemed to have this delicious Japanese DIY Teppan's iron hot plate.
