Tofu with Golden Mushroom

Tofu with Golden Mushroom

 
I always feel that tofu and golden mushroom really go well together, indeed, the texture of tofu was so soft and it tasted really good with the sauce.
Double-boiled Soup with Watercress and Pork Ribs

Double-boiled Soup with Watercress and Pork Ribs

 
The double-boiled soups are like one of Paradise Inn's signature dishes. I ordered the one with watercress and pork ribs, this is my favourite soup! You can totally taste that there is a lot of effort put into making this soup, as well as the tender pieces of pork ribs.
Fried prawns with salted egg

Fried prawns with salted egg

 
These fried prawns are superb! When I took the first bite of the prawns, I can feel the salted egg paste all oozing out and it just taste too good. This is definitely a must-order dish for all prawn lovers!
Coffee Pork Ribs

Coffee Pork Ribs

 
If you are looking for something different, do try the Coffee Pork Ribs instead of the normal sweet and sour ones. I am pretty surprised that these taste not bad, but it might be a little too sweet for others. The coffee sauce is just nice and sticky, the smell of coffee is not too overwhelming as well. Definitely worth giving it a try!
Fried Cod Fish

Fried Cod Fish

 
This Fried Cod Fish is rather normal, but it may be quite pricey for a medium serving of it. With the gravy poured all over, the fish is very crispy on the outside and the flesh is really soft on the inside.
Prawn Paste Fried Chicken Wings

Prawn Paste Fried Chicken Wings

 
This is my first time trying this Prawn Paste Fried Chicken Wings, it is really yummy! The dish has an equal serving of both the drumlets as well as the wings. The prawn taste is not too salty, so overall its a good dish for the young children and the old. Everyone seems to enjoy this all-time favourite dish well known in many Zi Char stores.
Lychee Mojito

Lychee Mojito

 
Last not but least, ordered the Iced Lychee Mojito drink which I am very happy with. The drink tastes really refreshing and the lychee is sweet and good.

For those who prefers hot drink, I strongly recommend the hot teas. There are many choices of teas ranging from fruits, herbs and flowers. Served in a nice tea pot and a very interesting teacup which will not allow you to get scalded from the hot tea.

Vanilla Bar & Café  Smile Jul 08, 2011

Shopfront of Vanilla Cafe & Bar

Shopfront of Vanilla Cafe & Bar

 
Heard about this cafe, so I went to all the way to Boon Tat Street to check this cafe out. Vanilla Bar & Café has a pretty simple concept, which really gives a really refreshing and cool feeling to have brunch there. Most of the customers are the working people at the CBD (Central Business District) who go there for a quick lunch, or else, people like me who would go just to try out their food and feel the cafe ambience.

Hazelnut Latte

Hazelnut Latte

 
I ordered the Vanilla Latte while my friend had the Hazelnut Latte. We were both pretty disappointed with our lattes as they were not even served hot at all. But overall, the taste of the lattes is not that bad, just wish it could be warmer to have a better perk up with the great breakfast dishes.
Vanilla Old English Breakfast

Vanilla Old English Breakfast

 
This Vanilla Old English Breakfast is one of the must-try main dishes if you are there for breakfast or brunch. The wholesome breakfast consists of the wild rocket vegetables topped with sauce, cherry tomatoes, sunny side-up, hash browns, sausages and bacon. It may seem like a normal breakfast meal, but I would say that I love the sausages and though the bacon is not crispy, it is definitely not as salty and as compared to other places.
Vanilla Club

Vanilla Club

 
The Vanilla Club is surprisingly delicious, the wholesome sandwich is filled generously with vegetables, bacon as well as chicken meat.

I would definitely come back to this cafe to try out desserts, especially the Vanilla Dirt Cake!

A sweet treat for you? Smile Jul 08, 2011

Shopfront of Pâtisserie Glacé

Shopfront of Pâtisserie Glacé

 
I have heard too many good reviews for this placed called Pâtisserie Glacé, decided to go down to the outlet at Icon Village to give the cakes a try. There were so many attractive cakes displayed that I had a hard time deciding which one to order, so I just kept my choices to the two best-sellers cakes which are Strawberry Soufflé and Othello.

The whole cake shop was a rather small one, with a wide variety of cake choices as well as other sweet treats such as their pies and swiss rolls. I was hoping that there could have been a few tables and seats for customers to have their cakes when served freshly.
Strawberry Soufflé

Strawberry Soufflé

 
The Strawberry Soufflé was a good choice, especially strawberry lovers should totally try this cake! The soft sponge cake was layered in very fresh cream and of course, fresh sweet strawberries made it taste even better.
Othello

Othello

 
Even though Othello looks really sweet, I am surprised that the rich chocolate and cookie cream was just nice, not too sweet and all. The moist and soft chocolate sponge cake looked very pretty by the side view. And the best part was the layer of cookie crust at the bottom of the cake.

I would definitely go back again to try out the other cakes!

Casual Dining for Beef Lovers! Smile Jul 08, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese | Chinese | Restaurant | Noodles | Rice | Kids-Friendly

As the shop name says it all, Lai Lai is a place for casual dining in the Taiwanese style. Whenever I visit there, I will definitely order the set meals which consists of the main dish, a side dish and a choice of drink at very reasonable prices.

This restaurant is often popular for their beef-related dishes such as noodles or vermicelli, whether in soup based or dry, it just seem like a main dish every beef lover would love to try!
Jasmine Green Tea with Pearls (Cold)

Jasmine Green Tea with Pearls (Cold)

 

The Jasmine Green Tea with Pearls is my favourite drink, as I prefer not to have a milky drink as it might be quite filling to finish to the both the drink as well as the dishes. So, for me, this drink tastes refreshing and the pearls are soft and chewy. A good drink to keep me happy before the rest of the dishes were served.
Fried Brinjal with Pork Floss

Fried Brinjal with Pork Floss

 
These two side dishes are totally worth trying. Firstly, the Fried Brinjal with Pork Floss tastes so good when topped with the fluffy floss. I never had a liking for brinjal, however, this dish made me satisfied as the brinjal was fried nicely with my favourite floss.
Pepper Salt Chicken

Pepper Salt Chicken

 
Another great side dish is the Pepper Salt Chicken, it tastes similar to fried chicken cutlets from those Taiwanese snack stalls. However, this is even better as it is served into small bite sizes for easy consumption. The pepper added is not too spicy for people who do not take chilli and children may like this dish too.
Stewed Beef Noodle (Soup)

Stewed Beef Noodle (Soup)

 
Finally, the main dish is Stewed Beef Noodle in soup based. The cubes of beef are really soft and tender. For the soup wise, it has a little herbal taste, so it might not be an ideal choice for those who do not enjoy such strong taste. My friend ordered the dry version of Stewed Beef Noodle and commented that the herbal taste was even stronger than mine.

Overall, I still enjoyed my main dish very much, of course I mean the whole set!

For the meatball lovers. Smile Jul 08, 2011

Swedish meatballs

Swedish meatballs

 
Swedish meatballs are always the first thing to come into my mind when I make a trip down to Ikea. This dish is a must-order, love how the meatballs taste so delicious together with the lingonberry jam and cream sauce. It also comes with sides - boiled potatoes which are also soft and good.

Do also take note of the ongoing promotion at Ikea, everyone can enjoy being meatball lovers every Tuesday (till July 2011) as they are going at $4 instead of the usual price of $6.50 for 10 pieces of Swedish meatballs.
Poached salmon with herbs

Poached salmon with herbs

 


The poached salmon was served and topped with a generous serving of herbs, which may not look that appetizing. But I am quite glad that the herb taste was not that strong, it was just nice with the cream sauce and boiled broccoli by the side.
Baked chicken leg

Baked chicken leg

 
For meat lovers, the Baked chicken leg is worth a try too. It is served with baby carrots, coleslaw and mashed potato as sides. I believe the mashed potato can be changed for baked potato, whichever your liking.
Daim cake

Daim cake

 
Last but not least, the Daim cake is a popular dessert in Ikea Restaurant. As named, this sweet slice of cake is made up of milk chocolate, covered with small pieces of Daim chocolate candy. A good dessert to satisfy your chocolate craving!
