Enjoyable Lunch! Smile Nov 17, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Tucked away from the noisy crowd, Double Spout Cafe is situated in a quiet corner in Heartland Mall. The cafe has a open roof concept where the dining facilities are only separated out by low walls where customers can have a feel enjoying the food in the mall itself, but not within a shop.

 
This cafe serve fusion cuisine. From western delights like pasta, grilled fish to eastern dishes like hor fun, muifan etc... Most attractive of all is that they do not charge GST or service charge.

 
A wide variety to choose from...

 
Even daily promo...

 
Here's mine, seafood spaghetti with tomato and herbs sauce. Pasta is slightly overcooked, but acceptable. The tangy sauce has a mild herbs taste with sweet and sour tomato bits. $8.90 for a portion with 3 medium prawns and mussels is considered worth the price.

 
! of my colleague has a seafood aglio olio. Verdict given by her is : not too bad, taste normal like the usual aglio olio.

 
Another of my colleague had a teriyaki chicken with garlic fried rice. Her verdict: NEVER eat it during lunch time or when you are super hungry. Reason: the waiting time is too long. The chef took more than 20 mins to serve and the reason given is: the chicken thigh is very big, more difficult to cook. But, the overall taste is good as the garlic rice is well fried and the chicken is well grilled.

 
Here's the bill, a proof where gst and service charge were not charged to us...no wonder this place is popular with students as it's well affordable. Well, i'll be back for more. smile

Bubble Tea Smile Nov 17, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese | Bubble Tea/ Tea

Remembered there was a period of time where I'm super crazy, drinking the various brands of bubble tea in Singapore, collecting pictures just to do review on my personal food blog. Despite all the several new brands from Taiwan, I still prefer the type which has been here for ages....(earlier than sweet talk craze)

This particular cup walker has been in kovan for super long time. It used to be located at blk 204, somewhere near the dbs bank, shifted into the mall few years ago and gain a strong foothold till now.

 
their milk tea are known to be thick and smooth, valuable for $. Most popular is their pudding milk tea, alternatively, may opt for coffee crystal (which is coffee jelly) and such a big cup cost less than $2. So value for money.

 
Another of my favorite choice, which is also healthier. Jasmine green tea with aloe vera! Wow... taste best especially on a hot day.

Braised Chicken Rice Smile Nov 17, 2012

Categories : Hawker Centre | Chicken Rice

Was in the mood to try a different version of chicken rice when I was in kovan food center. The normal hainanese chicken rice is always steamed white chicken or the roasted chicken. However, this particular stall offers braised chicken as well.

Not many places sells braised chicken rice nowadays (other than the famous chicken rice shop in chinatown)

 
Chicken skin: Chewy, Q, not very salty, light tone of dark soya sauce, not salty and has a mild herbal taste.

Chicken meat: Tender, moist, perfectly cooked.

Soup: Mild herbal taste

Rice: The kind which i like, not the oily hard grainy type. smile

Very worth for a plate which cost only $3.00 where they separate the meat and rice for you.

Super Affordable Beverages Smile Nov 09, 2012

Categories : Food Court

I've come to realise that not all food sold in hospital are expensive. This particular sells a wide variety of fruit juices, soya bean milk and hot beverages as well. The packed fruit juice like fruit tree fresh, nutri soy are of the same price range where supermarket sells.

 
As for their hot beverages, it's much more cheaper than what the other coffee shop outside is selling.
$0.50 for kopi O, $0.60 for coffee and $0.70 for kopi c. Yup, it's really that affordable and I only paid $0.70 for my kopi c cow siew dai! Market rate is about $1.10 in kopitiam. Even though coffee may seems to be a normal drink item, but the price doesn't seems normal! smile

Other than the price which shocked me, what really impressed me is the service provided by the friendly service staff. After taking down my order, they would repeat before preparing my request, smile and collect payment politely. Not only that, for take away order of 3 cups, they would cut out a cardboard and use as a base to support the cups of drinks before place them into carrier for customers to enjoy the convenience of carry ( drinks out not topple / spills out) So thoughtful, taking into consideration of every small details. smile

Healthy Chicken Rice / Noodles Smile Nov 09, 2012

Categories : Singaporean | Food Court | Hawker Centre

Hospital canteen food are known to be unfit for human consumption~~~ well, you would only hear this from a "junk food" eater. lolz.... Menu in hospital canteen food tends to be healthier and would usually state the calories per dish, but it's still fit consumption! tongue

It does help people decide on wiser choice and these so called "healthier food" usually taste bland and dry. However, I was quite surprise when I tried the chicken noodles and chicken rice from this stall in CGH and it totally changed my thinking on hospital canteen food.

 
Dry Noodles with Roasted Chicken.

Noodles are well cooked, taste springy and well tossed with seasonings
Veggies nicely blanched, with a healthy looking coat of green which taste crunchy.
Chicken breast meat aren't tough
Last but not least, price is affordable. $2.50 for a plate of roasted chicken noodles! Where can I find in Singapore?!?!

 
I've seen many people ordering their white chicken rice. Especially health conscious doctors or medical team people who goes for chicken breast. Yup, high in protein, lower in calories as compared to chicken drumstick/ thigh. For additional protein, adding 1 hard-boiled egg is a good choice.

Rice grains looks glossy but dun taste oily at all.
Chicken meat ~ super generous serving with sooooo.... many pieces of meat, taste even better with the light soy sauce & sesame oil drizzle.

Delicious! smile
