This japanese bakery is most famous for its soft milky breads like the wassants and the milk pan. I got the Milk Pan bread since it is just hot off the oven. The bread is so soft and so delicious! It is so fresh and the fragrance is a large plus to the taste. Of course, not forgetting the creamy milky filling, it is not cloyingly sweet and hence goes very well with the bread. Definitely will be back for more!

It is a very very long wait at Melben for our food. We had to queue for around 1 hour before we are finally seated and then wait another 20minutes before our food is finally served. That said, the staff will some around and ask you for your order when you are queuing, so our ordered are placed quite early in the queue. Of the 5 dishes that we ordered, my favourites are the Yam Ring and Salted Egg Crab.

The yam ring, although is quite commonly found in other places, I found that the yam ring here is really good. The yam is very very smooth to the taste as it is very well blended and mashed. The exterior of the yam ring is crisp and the batter is not greasy so there is no oily aftertaste. The yam is also well flavoured and the ingredients in the yam ring are also ample. There is a mix of bell peppers, prawns and more. The only slight thing to improve on is the cashew nuts as it is not crisp.

The salted egg crab is also very yummy. The balance of saltiness and sweet is just right and it is creamy even. The crab meat is also firm and fresh and it has managed to absorb the salted egg seasoning quite well too. However, the long wait is quite off-putting so it will make me think twice about coming.

I went out shopping with my hubby a few weeks back and we stopped by tcc for a light snack as our lunch is not very filling and we are tired from all the walking around. My hubby made the order while I went to find seats. He bought the pumpkin cheesecake as it is quite a novel cheesecake rather than the normal new york cheesecake.

The cheesecake's colour is quite vibrant and it looks and smells good. The cheesecake is quite rich in that the cake did not sink with the push of the fork into the cake. On first bite, the pumpkin taste gets to you immediately in a good way. The cake is also not cloyingly sweet and we polished off the entire slice in no time at all. Even my hubby who is not really a pumpkin fan loves it. I am not sure of the price as my hubby paid, but no matter what, I think this is worth a try.

This stall is quite famous for the XO fish head bee hoon. It is quite a long wait for our food during weekends and you can see that most empty tables with people are all waiting for their orders to come from this stall.

We ordered the prawn paste chicken and the XO fish head bee hoon to share among the three of us. The star is no doubt the XO fish head bee hoon. There is a choice of it being served with fried or sliced fish and we ordered the slice fish. The soup base is really tasty, with depth in the flavour from the hours spent in boiling the soup and I could also distinctively taste the XO alcohol. The fish slices are thick and fresh and firm, and it is a delight eating it with the soup. The ginger slices in the soup helps to balance out the flavours, making the taste of the soup well balanced and non fishy. It is hard to describe how nice it is, you simply have to make a trip down and try it yourself.

Earlier last week, I went with my hubby to Pioneer Seafood at Tuas for our lunch. They serve chinese food and I think this outlet is newly opened as there are opening specials during the time we went. Since there is only two of us, we ordered two dishes, the homemade beancurd with minced meat and the claypot chicken.

The service was rather slow and we had to wait quite a bit before our food came. The claypot chicken arrived first. The portion was quite large and the claypot chicken is very well seasoned. In fact, it is slighty too salty if you just eat it on its own, but it is still alright if you pair it with rice. The chicken meat is tender as well and the only thing to fault it is the saltiness.

For the homemade beancurd, the beancurd serving is two pieces so it is just nice for the both of us. The homemade beancurd is very fragrant with an eggy taste and it is very smooth. The minced meat adds flavour to the beancurd but even without the minced meat, I thought that the beancurd is already very tasty on its own. Overall, I thought the service could be better and I may try other chinese restaurants instead of coming back here again. Do note that they do not charge GST and service charge, so that is quite an incentive to come and try their food.
