Swatow is famous for their Teochew cuisine, yet some of their dimsum are actually quite good. Har Gao (Prawn dumpling) ($4) is my all-time favourite. The juiciness of the prawn filling is savoury and of good flavour. The skin's thickness is just right too. I tried their durian dessert for the first time. The crispy pastry has a thick and rich durian paste filling. The aroma of the durian just burst into your mouth upon the first bite. Egg tarts are so-so. Perhaps they weren't warm enough. The egg filling is actually quite silky smooth, Apart from dimsum, one could order dishes from the menu if it's after 11am. We tried Pork liver roll ($10), which is one of the Teochew delicacy. Very strong in liver taste, not my favourite, but I bet it's authentic Teochew flavour. Prawn roll ($10) is good, ingredients are pretty similar with liver roll, except without the organ taste. Swatow handmade tofu ($12) has a strong flavour of egg in the tofu, nice to eat. Cooked with gingko, this dish is simple yet very homely taste.

I head over to Bakerzin for dinner the other day, ordering a salad, a soup, as well as a pasta dish. Simple yet good. Waldorf Salad ($11.50) consists of lots of fruits, such as apple, dried cranberries etc. Very light and refreshing. I like their Pumpkin soup ($6.90), rich in pumpkin flavour, smooth texture and very comforting when drinking it hot. Arrabiata linguine ($13.50) is garlicky and spicy. Appetizing flavour, and the tomato paste is very well-seasoned.

I like reading Dian Xiao Er's menu, as they actually made the effort to calculate the calories content of each dishes. Fascinating hey. We first had the Stewed crocodile soup with almonds ($7), which is slightly disappointed. The soup is overly salty and not much of the ingredients seen.Braised mushroom in chinese wine ($10.90), 260kCal, is so tasty! Love the Chinese wine taste so much, flavour fully absorbed by the assorted fresh mushroom, yummy! Chinese spinach in superior stock ($12.30), 330kCal, is quite a classic dish in the Chinese restaurant. The Chinese spinach is served over wolfberries and conpoy sweetened stock. Very well-done. Dong Po Pork ($13.90) is the restaurant's all-time favourite. The pork belly actually melt in your mouth. Very good flavour! However, it's causing 1510kCal intake. Sinful but thumbs up!

Nook Pancake House is the place that you and your mates will have lots of fun. The selling point of this eatery is their DIY pancakes idea! (1) you get choose either jar or squeezer bottle, then (2) choose pancake batter, (3) choose sides and toppings, and finally (4) create your very own pancakes, any shape you like and have fun!! Nook's Awesome Cheese Burger Soup ($6) is awesome! The soup consists of minced beef, lettuce and cheddar, very creamy cheesy taste, absolutely comforting! Uniquely yummy! Apparently The Rainbow Pancake is the no.1 best seller of the shop. The gorgeous stack is made up from six colourful pancakes, very much like rainbow colours. Different colour represents different flavours. There are original buttermilk, asian pandan, dark chocolate, funky banana and strawberry farm. Their individual flavour miught not distinct enough to be differentiated out easily, but overall speaking, visual wise, it's a lovely dish. The Breakfast Bully ($18) is another no.1 of the shop. It's pretty much everything you can imagine in a American breakfast! Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, sauteed mushrooms, baked beans, vine riped tomatoes and brioche. Quite nice as a whole.

Apart from the usual toast sets and noodles sets, Toast Box has now serving the new sandwich sets. I tried their Tuna and cucumber set ($3.80) and totally in love with it. The tuna filling is satisfying huge in portion, served with lots of diced cucumber and onion, dressed in mayonnaise sauce. I like the buttery crispy toast too. Bacon and egg set ($3.80) on the other hand, might not be as tasty. The sunny side up is descent, but I reckon the bacon is a little too hard and has this greasy after-taste. Not a fans.
