I'm a fan of Swenson's when it comes to the large servings of hearty american grub but it's disappointing that their soup is a total mess. Clam chowder soup is not served as hot as I'll like it to be and the worst thing is that the bread is super hard. Not very happy. That said, I think I'm better off sticking to the ice cream and 1-for-1 lunch treats. No more soup for me at Swenson's.

had a salad and soup for lunch and it's really tasty. Extra love for the ceaser salad's cheesy crust which doubled up as a bowl for the greens. Smoked salmon is ok and the greens were fresh/crunchy. Whatever space that's left in my tummy was filled to the brim with a bowl of seafood goodness. i could taste the ocean. Anyway point it, Coffee Club's soup is wayyyy better than the lumpy mushroom soup I had at Swensen's the other day. urgh. BTW good news for Citibank card holders! 15% discount!

Chinese desserts will always come to mind whenever I'm at Bugis. I think there's a few shops selling Chinese desserts along Liang Seah Street. I would normally go for the one further down the street which has pictures of celebrities pasted on its glass window. But the bf wanted to go for Ah Chew so here we are. I had the mango sago with pomelo as usual. Thing is I was craving for something really cold but ah chew's mango dessert is not cold enough. And it is a tad too milky. Shall opt not to have the coconut milk next time.

I love this place! OMG it's not overly crowded on a public holiday and the ambiance was lovely like a japanese village. order the Hokke lunch set that cost about $11+. Totally worth it. The fish was excellently prepared and a squeeze of lime did the trick in making it extra appetising. Will definitely be back again to try out more unique authentic japanese offerings.

Feel like having noodles again so decided to try Crystal Jade's Black Pepper Chicken Udon dish. Not bad. The udon were al-dente. firm but not hard. Chicken was also ok. But somehow I just can't finish this dish although I was super hungry earlier on. Perhaps after awhile the sauce became a tad flat and heavy so my appetite turned for the worst. Guess I'm gonna try other dish next time.
