A twist in western coffee stores Smile May 07, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Brunch

I heard that the coffee was brilliant with the same price you pay for the bigger coffee joints like starbucks and bean, but since it was at night and my friends off from work were just looking out for dinner we settled it out here. Didnt try the coffee as I do want to sleep! Maybe next time smile

They say that the fish and chips ($17) was the most famous, but since my friend ordered that I changed to their pork ham sandwich with wedges ($14) which was definitely filling. Taste was however pretty bland, I added more pepper and salt all over for the wedges. Was good as it came with bits of salad to add some fresh leaves but it wasn't cold. They drizzled in italian or sour dressing on top. It was good except that it wasn't cold.

The sandwich had an interesting taste and each of their sandwiches uses different types of bread. This one had a salty salty all over with ham and melted cheese (but not enough cheese according to me!mad ) and with the sour zing taste it was just right! The portion was all just right and the environment was good!

Fish and chips came in as a small basket with about 7-8 pieces of fish finger sized and chips. Didn't try it myself but quite pricey for the size. Fish and Co has it bigger in size for the same price?

Service was friendly, however the staff couldn't really recommended anything and went by popular choice that fish and chips was the most ordered.

Square noodles! Smile Mar 30, 2011

Categories : Fusion | Food Court | Chicken Rice | Noodles

Instead of the usual long noodles, my friend, as agreed to share a portion of a big bowl of soup and ban mian, is to choose the square ones, mee hoon kway?

Well, it was my first time trying! Anyhow the staff was nice enough when I requested for a bowl, then they kind of picked it up that "would you like us to seperate the portion to two?" after that without me saying.

The taste was quite bland, so a saucer of soy sauce chilli and vinegarrrrrr adds a better zest fo the soup!! But it was filling - my tummy is getting smaller so that was just nice because the soup usually makes you bloated faster tongue

Set B for 2 Smile Mar 30, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Thai | Sushi/Sashimi

This new place has opened up, ZENSO, and it has this Thai-Japanese fusion, although after looking at the menu, there's no fusion dish to combine both - it's just that they serve japanese bento sets and thai dishes in tom yum, curry chicken, or rice dishes.

I was chilling out with an old pal and so after a look of the whole menu, I recommended that why don't we get Set B, the two special sets for 2. It was at $18.90 each.

We don't get an option for rice (plain rice), but for vegetable and meat dish and drink, we did have options. We got the coconut chicken soup, the vegetable dish I forgot the name, the beef dish and lemongrass and thai ice tea with milk.

The coconut chicken soup was really thick, but the saltiness was just right. It was really thick in its coconut, you can have this whole set for 3 with an extra portion of rice. The soup also had tomatoes on it too. However the taste was not so thick until you want to throw up and can't eat anything else.

Vegetable and beef dish had really scary looking size chilli but it was of worth - if you bite you die but the spice was just right - a bit too salty though, but try mixing the sauce with coconut soup spread on top of your rice - it gives a balance of milky texture and the spice salt taste.

By the end of it you're super full! The drink was too sweet compared to the other thai chain just beside the store. But the lemongrass for me had a fresh mint aftertaste which I can't find at other Thai stores just! smile

Best other thing about this new joint is that there's no charge in tax and service! So it was exactly $18.90. lol

well, do you murtabak? Smile Mar 19, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indian | Food Court

I arrived at the stall where my friend wanted the chicken murtabak. But alas, chicken was gone, so well, "Do you mutton murtabak" and we ordered.

It was about 9pm, half to closing time because it was weekday, so my cheeky attitude came out, " hey ,why don't you give me a discount? you didn't have chicken you know we wanted that. and it's close to closing time so we're like your last customers!" The cashierer replied me back in a cheeky way too but hey, who was he kidding me, I outwitted him (of course it was all as a joke... half jokingly) and gave me back 50c! So it was like 10% off tongue

Who knew that you can do that in a foodcourt stall?

Like to point out that their service was truly friendly and I was engaging a convo with the Indo or Malay chef, and he was really nice as well. I was asking like, "hey, could i have a pack of the indian keropok?" and he headed up his other colleague to give one to me. So nice!

For all the $4.50 with the thick murtabak and great service, it was worth it in the nice Wisma overlooking Orchard. (originally for murtabak it's $5)

Tip though, as I saw him cooking that he dipped his cooking utensil to the oil and was spreading, maybe to let him know to lessen the oil next time.

Place was clean and well, I'm sure he didn't cut off any mutton portion so it was really thick and dense in the murtabak - two slices of them is a big case for me. Had to tapao!

After a Kpop night blast, my friends were hungry for supper. Out of the blue while walking around, finally we went to Hooters! (wonder why people haven't been eating here, hooray to me being the first, lucky lucky~!) XD

Served by the notorious waitress who, introduced her name, then recommended meals, etc. and I was half twitching (Hooters first) on the way before my friend enlighten me that "they always have to intro their name before taking orders" and i was like, "oooooh" tongue

Definitely chicken wings was on the list to share and one main meal of burger for my pal which I took a bite in, and taste verdict... acceptable. Nothing out of the fancy! beans as I assume is from the can too.

Wings though, were greaaaaaaaaat. Or maybe since we're fans of chickens. I think they brush some honey to make it sweet, and the meat was tender and super juicy - cos it was thick! No kidding. And the price was I think ridiculously affordable, this whole plate for $15 less?! 5/5 for this!!!!

Coming back for the wings. I think they had a promotion if you buy more than .... each wings is like only $1 or something. I do remember it was just super super super amazing price.

Of course the winds of the Spore river was blowing away, so it was the best place to be on that night to enjoy and just have a girls night out!
