We were near the area so we dropped by to pack our lunch. I had the mushroom swiss meal, changed the drink to a cup of hot tea. I find that their beef patty was a bit dry but they gave a very generous amount of mushroom sauce which was very nice. It helped to reduce the dryness of the beef. The fries was good when eaten hot but it was a bit soggy by the time we reached home. The hot tea was still hot though.

Service was quite good at this outlet as the is not much crowd at that time. Quite a good place to sit down to rest if you are doing shopping there.

It was quite some time back when I first tried out this restaurant. I remembered it was a weekday dinner and we only managed to get an outdoor seat as all the indoor seats were taken.

I had ordered their famous portuguese baked half chicken with rice set and a cup of hot watercress drink. The portion of the chicken was quite small, something like the size of those spring chicken. Taste wise was not bad and the chicken was qute tender. As for the hot watercress drink, it was quite good as you seldom will be able to find such drinks in Singapore. Quite sweet though but has the flavour of watercress. Overall, not bad.

We were at Chinatown and specially went to look for this bakery as I was told their traditional cakes and biscuits are very nice. I bought a few type (wife biscuits, Sweet bean paste biscuits and salted bean paste biscuits) and I really loved their sweet bean paste biscuits. The taste is very balanced, not too sweet. You can still feel the slightly grinded texture of the beans. The pastry is also very well done, a bit flaky. The salted bean paste bisuit is also quite nice, not too salty. They have many other types of biscuits, maybe next time I will try their water chestnut biscuit.

After trying so many wife biscuits that is also known as "Lao po bing" in the market, I personnally find that the ones that Crystal Jade my bread sells is still the better ones. The texture of the inner fillings was just nice and smooth, the sweetness is also very balanced. The pastry is quite flaky but good. Overall, the wife biscuit is more similar to the version that I had tried before in Hong Kong. Must give it a try.

The pancakes that are being sold at Jollibean are always so fresh and full of generous fillings. The texture of the pancake is very soft and smooth. Every mouthful, there will be fillings. This time round, I had the red bean paste fillings or so called the "tau sa" paste. The paste is very smooth and it has been grinded till very fine. Quite sweet but not overwhelming. It makes a good and delicious breakfast and snack. Their peanut version is also every nice.
