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.

Crazy Chicken Crunchies

It is basically fried chicken covered with curry powder. When eaten alone, it can be quite spicy and dry, but nevertheless is was.. Well fried? It was hot inside out, unlike some other fried chicken that are hot on the outside and cold on the inside. I felt that it was a nice mix when dipped into the cheese sauce.

Garlic Cheese Onion Rings

I really like onion rings. This Garlic Cheese Onion Rings gave it a special twist! It had no onions inside. I really dislike it when there're onions inside as I don't eat onions, so I usually take it out. This helped me save a lot of time, and it was really crunchy!

Golden Roasted Drummlet

This is very yummy and many loved this. The chicken was tender and easy to chew off.

Chilli Chicken Pizza

100% Mozzarella cheese with succulent smoked chicken breast, Onion, Red pepper and Chilli flakes. I thought that this would be reallyyyyy spicy, but surprisingly it wasn't.

Chicken Temptation Pizza
100% Mozzarella cheese with Succulent smoke chicken breast, Turkey ham, Green and Red pepper. This was quite creamy, which is really special! The chicken was really good. I don't really like green & red pepper because they taste weird, but this won't. I found it kind of oily though.

Classified Chicken Pizza
100% Mozzarella cheese with Succulent smoke chicken breast, Fresh onions and Mushrooms. I found this really simple & nice!

Extravaganzza Pizza
100% Mozzarella cheese with Beef pepperoni, Cabanossi, Ground beef, Fresh onions, Green pepper, Mushroom and Ripe olives. I really loved this! Call me weird, but I like to combine a lot of stuff & eat them together. This totally fit into the criteria + it's really soooo yummy!

Hawaiian Paradise Pizza
100% Mozzarella cheese with Succulent smoke chicken breast, Turkey ham and Juicy pineapples. The crust is very thin, and the pineapple was very fresh. Just one bite, & I went *.* This all-time favourite did not let me down! smile

Chocolate Lava Cake
Lusciously melted soft chocolate centre, overflowing with chocolatey goodness. Mmmmmm... It was love at first bite! It was so nice, I felt like I was in heaven or something. Yes, it's that good. It's actually a brownie with chocolate sauce inside. The sweetness was just right. However, you'll get kind of bored of it after taking too many bites.

Cantonese Food @ J Cube OK Jan 26, 2013

Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Dim Sum | Roasted Meat

Read full review here: http://iisjong.blogspot.sg/2012/04/my-trip-to-jcube.html ;)

Ate at Canton Paradise some time ago with my parents when it first opened.

Here's what we ate:

BBQ Pork Belly

It's roasted, not the usual crispy type.. It tasted alright, though it wasn't soft enough. You know, the "melt in your mouth when you put it in" feeling? Yup, I didn't taste it. The sauce was not bad though!

Plain Porridge

It was good, very soft and tasty. Definitely comparable to Crystal Jade's!

Plain Wanton Noodles

It was rather normal, a little bit hard to chew off.

Har Gao (Shrimp Dumplings)

I LOVE har gao, which is why I say this wasn't one of the best tasting ones for me. I love how juicy it was though!

Custard Buns

This was rather good; the taste of egg yolk wasn't too overwhelming, and you can taste that it was well beaten because it was quite smooth, not the very "sandy" type. The moment you bite it, the egg yolk oozes out almost immediately!

From their "Innovation Dishes", we had the Bacon Roll with Cheese.

It was definitely innovative though it tasted a bit weird.. Good thing was that it wasn't very oily, and come on! Who doesn't love bacon, really!

Osthamus Flower with Watercress Kueh

It has a jelly texture. The osthamus taste was quite mild and the watercress was crispy. Both of them complimented each other quite well, and my parents loved it!

Dough Fritter Chee Cheong Fun

The you tiao (dough fritter) was quite hard to chew off... The Chee Cheong Fun skin was also quite thick :/ You must add the soya sauce that comes together with it as it helps in adding to the flavour of the dish.

Hidden Korean food gem Smile Jan 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Korean

Read my full review here: http://iisjong.blogspot.sg/2012/06/review-ming-jia-korean-food.html ;)

Sick of eating the usual food in school, my classmates and I head over to Bukit Timah Plaza frequently as it's just a few minutes walk away from our school. Don't judge it's old and abandoned look from the outside; that place has a lot of fantastic food left hidden for people to find that will leave you craving for more.

Tucked away in a little corner at Basement 1 was this rather normal looking stall selling Korean food that seems to be full all the time. Curious, I finally went to try it!

The stall was rather small and cozy, with seats meant for about 20 people. It is run by a Korean lady and some local helpers from what I see so far (been there twice). They serve authentic home-cooked Korean food in huge portions at the cheapest price! I remember eating at other Korean stalls and the prices are around the same, but the portion was sooooooo little.

Well, here's what I ate and my take on them!

Kimchi Pancake ($8)

This pancake tasted something like carrot cake mixed with a lot of vegetables. It's kind of sweet yet sour at the same time. It's very.. Starchy, so you might get bored eating it after awhile. Also, I couldn't really taste much of the kimchi.

But maybe it's just me.

For $8, I would say it's a little too pricey but worth a try.

Set Meal {Pork (there's chicken & beef too)} ($6)

This has got to be my favourite Korean dish EVER!

The pork was good. It's easy to chew, very juicy and flavourful. The spiciness level was very mild, awesome for someone who likes a little bit of spice!

The beansprout appealed as really weird to me at first because there's a seed at the end, so I'm not too used to that. But of course, this is the Korean bean sprout so I have to accept it right! It's really authentic and so big in size. It tasted rather normal (other than the crunchy seed).

To tell you the truth, I'm not that big a fan of kimchi because all that I've eaten before were quite horrible and super spicy. This kimchi was different. It's cold and crunchy, with a mix of bitter, sour and spicy that complements well with each other. I am surprised that it is spicy, but not that spicy spicy kind, which is awesome! I can honestly tell you that this is probably the best I've eaten in Singapore (ok lah I don't eat a lot of kimchis, but still!)

Oh by the way, the meal is super worth the price because it can be shared amongst 2 people. My friend and I shared this and the portion was just nice for both of us. It you want extra, you can always order one of the side dishes for just $1.

Black Noodle {Jajang Mian} ($5)

I've always liked Jajang Mian, but the Chinese version. Sometimes I eat the Korean ones that comes in a packet like maggie mee. So of course, I was excited to try this one made by a Korean person herself, it's like, authentic!

There's a great balance between saltiness, bitterness and sweetnesss in this noodle, and surprisingly, you won't feel bored eating it after awhile as it comes with kimchi that makes it soooo much better to eat. I'm not sure whether this is made from the maggie mee packet, but it tastes almost nothing like it because it's really soft. The sesame seeds adds to the taste of the noodles. I had a sipping good time although the "soup" was quite thick. The taste will linger in your mouth!

Overall, all of the food tasted really fresh and good. This is definitely a value-for-money and must-try place! Even as I'm typing this, I am salivating in front of my computer screen at the thought of the food! I know the Koreans in Singapore themselves frequent this because I've seen a lot of them having their lunch or packing back food home.

A tip though, is not to come during crowded times like lunch and dinner. There might not be enough seats for everyone. Also, it is not a place for catch up but rather for a quick bite.

Don't judge this place by it's exterior; it may be a cafe, but the food served is of restaurant standards! It was my first time there last week, and I don't always say this, but I was was completely blown away with the food. Y I NO FIND YOU EARLIER!? Tried the Christmas/New Year Menu, was good!
