Imagine my delight in finding an Organic Vegetarian stall in a hawker centre! Eating without fear of pesticides, added chemicals and growth hormones has become readily available now to the masses!

Many people have extolled the benefits and virtues of organic food and lately, it is easier and more affordable to eat organically in Singapore, than say, 2 years ago.

Kokee Delights has a simple menu of rice and noodles and a variety of ready, take-home products.

What I had that night was a beautiful combination of shredded purple and white cabbage on top of sauced noodles. The noodles was tangy with a hint of sweetness and it went very well with the topping of brown rice crackers, nuts (almonds and cashews), berries (raisins, cranberries and wolfberries) and vegetables.

The portion was generous and my children couldn't help taking bites off my plate despite their tasty steak and noodles (non-organic regular hawker fare) sitting in front of them

I've always wanted to go to Cafe Pralet to see the wonderful custom-made cake creations and I was not disappointed when I stepped into the cafe.

The place had various displays of it's cake designs but for now, I will just review the food here.

My daughter loves Tofu Burgers and she will make it a point to try it if it's on the menu. This burger did not disappoint her with the moist patty and caramelised onions.My son played it safe and had the Shepherd's Pie and the filling was moist and the mashed potato had great little brown bits to pick on.My other girl had the Smoked Salmon Panini and the bread was well toasted and fragrant and the Salmon ws not stinged upon.I had the Ayam Tempra but unfortunately, the chicken had the frozen taste and I cannot say that it has the authentic Nonya taste. The chicken was not braised sufficiently and some parts came off as rather dry The portion is quite generous if it is of any comfort.The Raspberry cake that I had was delightful and light with a fragrant raspberry flavour.I will go back to this cafe for cakes and coffee and maybe a light meal but not for the Ayam Tempra.

Family-friendly restaurants are hard to find in Singapore but Seb's Bistro has come up with a wonderful concept for harried parents needing some time off.

Imagine an old coloniall Black-and-White bungalow done up into The Playhouse (as it is known) for children (up to 12) to be safely entertained and occupied for a fee, while parents enjoy a relaxing meal or have drinks with friends...Bliss...(sigh)

The food here is nothing fantastic but it is tolerable though pricey.

My husband had the Quail stuffed with Rice and Chestnuts and it was the most interesting item for lunch that day. The quail tasted gamey but it was well-roasted and the stuffing still moist.My oldest girl chose to have the Open-Face Smoked Salmon Sandwich with Guacamole and this was very well done with a generous portion of Salmon. There is a good selection of items on the Kid's Menu and for $15, they'll get a main dish, drink and a scoop of ice-cream.

My 2 younger kids had the Macaroni Cheese (so-so) and the Cottage Pie with beef which fared better.I went for the Prawn Aglio Olio and the dish was a bit dry but the prawns were succulent. It would do better with a good douse of olive oil.Lastly, I finished off the meal with a Rhubarb Crumble with Vanila Ice-Cream (sorry, I forgot to take a picture as it was so yummy and I just dived right into it ). This was the most delicious lunch item. Rhubarb is hard to come by in Singapore but Seb's Bistro was generous in its serving. The crumble was fragrant with butter and well-toasted and the Rhubarb was just lightly sweetened and well-complemented by the vanila ice-cream

Um-mmm....

What is there not to like about rice with crispy fragrant chicken accompanied by lime and shiok sambal, delicious succulent fried tempeh, fishcakes and beancurd, thick chunks of cucumbers and lettuce and a generous serving of soup (Picture not shown) to finish off the meal?

This remains one of my all-time favourites when I visit the ABC market. It's even nicer when you eat there and it is presented on a banana leaf in a wooden plate and you have the soup piping hot.

A delicious complete meal in itself

Ummm....Yum....Yum....Too bad I cannot add or replicate fragrances in my reviews.

Whenever I buy noodles from this stall, the waft of the fragrant sesame oil in its sauce makes me salivate even before I can settle comfortably down to eat.

Though I know some people do not like too much sesame oil in their food as it may overpower the rest of the flavours, this stall does it just right.

The mushrooms for the shredded chicken noodles have been braised sufficently to let all the flavours of the sesame oil, dark sauces and secret ingredients to be infused.

The wanton noodles come with both fried and soup wantons. The noodles are softer than other wanton noodle stalls but it is definitely not soggy and does not have a heavy 'kee' taste.

The cost of the noodles has just recently gone up to $2.50 but it was kept at $2 for as long as I can remember.
