Grandma's is famous for their Nasi Lemak which my mom loves so much she has been constantly bugging me to bring her to eat it after I introduced to her months ago. I finally found time to bring her over to Grnadma's again last week. This time round, beside their Nasi Lemak ($8.90++), I ordered a Spinach Tofu ($12.90++) as I had loved this dish in other restaurants.

Grandma's version has impressed me with its appetizing sauce and soft juicy tofu with a crispy yet not oily exterior. The dish is generously covered with mushroom and paired with blanched spinach which is both my favourite. I am sure I can polish 2 bowls of rice with this dish alone.

Thought the price can be on the high side, I really like Grandma's for their food has such a homely feel and taste.

Do not stop just for salad OK Jul 23, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Salads/ Acai Bowl

Being a big lover of anything with bananas, I bought this Acai Banana Cake ($3.20) when I saw it on display. I had read that Acai is a really nutritious fruit but I believe we can't get it in Singapore (correct me if i am wrong though!). Thus, I was excited to see how this cake will taste like with Acai in it.

I am rather disappointed that this taste just like any other banana cakes despite Acai being used as they claimed. Nevertheless, it is still really delicious being not too sweet and very moist. I did not regret buying it. smile

Pathetic dish Cry Jul 16, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Restaurant | Seafood

I went ahead with my friends after a movie to Manhattan Fish Market for dinner last week. Chose the Poached Cheesy Dory as I love cheese. The dish took more than 30 mins to come and my friends were almost done with their dishes. With the waiting time, I had expected the dish to be good but I was really disappointed. The fish was undercooked inside and the cheese stick rolled inside the dory was chewy and not melted at all. The portion was pathetically small with only a few broccoli and carrots served as the side without any carbohydrates to it. Totally disappointed and not worth the price of the dish. I would rather pay lesser for my friend's fish and chips.

Xiao Long Bao worthy of the hype Smile Jul 16, 2013

There is almost always a long queue at Paradise Dynasty ION. Joining the frenzy, my friends and i went to taste their signature 8 flavour xiao long bao (pork dumplings). The flavours include Original, Garlic, Ginseng, Foie Gras, Black Truffle, Cheese, Crab Roe, and Szechuan. The basket of xiao long bao looks so delicious with a appealing range of colours for each flavour.

Tastewise, the dumplings are juicy, the meat are really fresh and the skin is not too thick. My vote goes to garlic and cheese as i like the additional touch of innovation and fragrance to the otherwise ordinary dumplings. The ginseng and szechuan are too exotic to my tastebud while the remaining flavours are too mild to taste.

We also order the radish pastry as i thought it is quite rare in Singapore. I am glad we did as the taste is fantastic! The pastry is so flaky and light that it literally melt in your mouth. The radish filling inside is flavourful and moist with a slight crunch. I love this so much and will definitely order it again!mad

cupcakes! OK Jul 16, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Bakery

Ordered a 12pcs mini cupcakes set from Swirl Bake Shop. Their cupcake base are so soft it threaten to collapse when i lift it out of the box. Using only natural ingredients, the taste is fragrant and not too sweet.
I don't like the cream on top as they have a sandy texture. I prefer smooth cream on my cupcakes. However, this could be the characteristic of a "all-American gourmet cupcake". A nice try but I won't be back for more.
