After a walk at the tiong bahru market, my family members and I have decided to buy some pastries back home. In the end, we brought several items which includes the squid ink baguette, sugar brioche, raisin croissant and some pies. The moment we step into this shop, we were welcome by the wide variety of 'fake' bread and pastries that is placed on the left side of the shop. On the right hand side will be the range of pastries placed neatly with the friendly and bubbly staff waiting to their our orders. This is actually my first time trying the squid ink baguette as it is seldom or not even found at our bakey shop. Although the outer texture of the baguette is quite hard, it taste quite good and has a mild squid ink aroma in it and has a soft texture on the inside. As for the sugar brioche, coarse sugar is sprinkle on the top with a nice round and golden brown colour. Taste wise has a buttery aroma and has a very soft and fluffly texture. For the price wise, it ranges from $2+ for a sugar brioche to $7 for a pie. Although it is a bit pricey, the quality and taste of the pastries is definitely worth the try.

Saw a long queue during breakfast hours queuing for this drink stall and decided to join in the queue to buy some drinks. In the end, I have brought the traditional black and white drink which is the soya bean with grass jelly drink. This cup of drink has a nice fragrance, distinct soya bean taste and no grainy texture as the soya bean is well processed. The grass jelly is equally cut, not too thin nor thick. The grass jelly taste is similar to other stall and has a nice and refreshing taste. The drink is not too diluted and the sweetness is just right, not too sweet nor bland. The approximate waiting time is around 10 minutes.

Brought a cup of the soya bean with grass jelly beverage for lunch.
This cup of beverage has a soya bean taste that is quite close to those of the can beverage and is not as fragrance as compared to other soya bean stall. As for the grass jelly, it is well grated into thin long stripes and has a soft and smooth texture. The grass jelly taste is not that strong as compared to the soya bean. The beverage is not too diluted and have the right amount of the sugar syrup.

Walked past this chicken rice stall during lunch which hangs several well cooked and appealing whole chicken in front of the stall and decided to have a try on their chicken rice.

As for the chicken, it is being deboned, the skin is not too oily, and the meat is soft and tender. The soup is well boiled, has a nice aromatic chicken bone fragrance, not oily and taste refreshing. The staff is polite and provide good service and their price is reasonable with a good portion.
