Hongkong Cafe OK Nov 23, 2011

I ordered the papaya noodles soup dish and peach milk tea. According to what i know it is sort of a common dish in HK.
Expecting something delicious to fill my stomach but actually disappointed. The soup was horrible and tasteless with floating papaya, corn that is only a small portion, noodles and pork i think. A few scoops of the dish i was completely turned off.

At the second Xin Wang, couldn't remember which branch it was, i ordered porkribs with noodles. Again, the same horrific taste engulfs me. The pork ribs i believe is canned type of pork ribs. This goes to show how insincere the restaurant serves their food. Of all things canned pork ribs~ I believe diners are a discerning bunch. The noodles is dry and salty.

Also, the ambience is terrible. It is like one reviewer mentioned, a wet market. The noise level was so loud that i couldn't even hear what my friend was saying.

Another Pasta LOL OK Nov 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese

My friends and I ordered :

Teriyaki Chicken Cheese Burger - Huge portion, with egg, tastes teriyaki enough, but I find the chicken a little tough. Somewhat frozen feel. The cheapest of the 3 at S$8.80

Tonkatsu Curry Omu Rice - Again, huge portion, curry taste salty, rice was good, but the tonkatsu is tough and tastes frozen. Disappointing. S$14.80

Hakodate Seafood Cheese Pizza - The best of the three. Thin sliced, tasty and looks fresh. At S$12.80, we thought it's decently good.

It's a tight place we were at, but no complaints in this aspect, as the crowd certainly feel this is part of the dining experience - tight and youthful.

Should I return, I'd probably select their pasta dishes, and maybe the Hakodate Seafood Cheese Pizza.

Bubble Tea as An Art? OK Nov 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Juices

I'm a fan of bubble milk tea, so I have never tried Artease whenever I pass by. Finally got to try it as it was very late and there isn't any other bubble tea shops available nearby.

My girlfriend had Strawberry Milk Green Tea since both flavors are her favorite. I was hoping for something like Matcha green tea, rather than then normal tea bag ones.

And I had a Chocolate Rose Tea, can't really taste the flavor of the rose though but the taste of chocolate was just right.

Pasta Again? == OK Nov 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Pasta

Pasta again. However, after looking at some new fusion items on the menu, and seeing that it was rather cost-effective, I decided to give it one more shot recently, with no regrets.

I started with the chicken wings ($3.90), which were two freshly deep fried and rather oily dark coloured wings.

I then had the Seafood Tom Yum Pasta set ($14.40) which came with a creamy chicken soup and drink. The tom yum paste was not well mixed up in the pasta so I had to "work" for my dinner by doing some mixing - but when that was done I must admit that the combination of that and a mushroom cream sauce worked out well. Also, it had generous portions of seafood ingredients like clam, prawn and squid so it was a sumptuous late night dinner.

I also tried the Prawn Aglio Linguine ($8.90), and that dish reminded me of why I have not been to PastaMania in awhile - as it was lacking in taste.

Satay!! :) Memories OK Nov 11, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malay | Hawker Centre

There are various satays to choose from but of course excluding that one. xD

They also provide Malay signature dishes like Mee Siam , Mee Soto , Soto Ayam.

Their satay is a bit special because the satays are being sticked into the "lontong". The sauce is quite special too with spicy and sweet flavour up the satays. Quite an affordable snack during tea time.
