My best friend dated me to AMK for a movie. And since we were there early to buy our tickets, we headed to pepper lunch for our lunch.

I ordered the curry chicken rice set, since at that moment i feel a craving for curry. The set comes with a soft drink which i chose root beer as seen.This was my first time ordering curry chicken rice at pepper lunch as usually i would order something like salmon or chicken to cook and act to have a taste like i am doing a homecooked meal .

It was a nice meal and i actually like this curry chicken meal a lot especially when i can sizzle my curry sauce in the hot plate.
Yum yum

When I first saw this store, I was full of anticipation to try the food since it was selling Malaysian foods.And so I ordered a cup of black coffee and a set of pig trotter's meal. When first tried, the food was a disappointment as my food was serve warm to cold kind of texture The coffee also taste quite diluted. After a few mouth of meats and rice, I simply left with a happy turned to bad mood.
Will not go back as not only it was expensive it is not nice too!

I have long heard this soup restaurant from my dad as he keeps on saying how we should go here and have a taste of this delicious saliva-drooling soup.

So when it was his off day, he bought us out for a try of this soup.

And it really make our days after trying out the soup from here. The soup was boiled with real ingredients as you can see from the image and it was not diluted at all! Simply great taste. Furthermore, with the 50 cents yam rice, easily i have 2 bowls of rice with a bowl of chicken soup.

It was quite amused to me to find this poster about QR code. Kind of 'Wow' to find how this soup store can get so advanced

Here is a front stall image shown As quoted from my dad, it is a must try.

My cousin from overseas just came back to singapore and since he has longheard about the fanciful cafes located around Singapore. I decided to bought him and the rest of our siblings to stranger's reunion after reading reviews from other openricers ( thanks!)

We ordered quite an amount of food which bills came up to $158.
Recommended drinks like 'Magic' , 'Latte', 'Piccolo Latte' and 'Cappuccino'.
And also seem most of the people recommended to try the waffles. we have ordered almost all the buttermilk waffles except for waffles with strawberry maceration and ice cream to try out.

Under the buttermilk waffles there are:

(1)- with artisan greek yogurt and fresh fruit, $11.50
(2)- with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit, $11.50
(3)- with maple syrup and fresh fruit, $11

My apology that not all waffles photos are here as all of us were simply gluttons by the time we have our seats and food being served to us. so only managed to snap a few photos

The waffles tasted the same for all, what's makes it different is the combination with different ingredient such as yogurt, maple syrup and ice-cream. After trying all four, i would feel that the one with ice cream is the best (2). Follow by (1) and (3).

For (1), as the waffles is not crispy but rather soft, when it goes with the liquid form yogurt, the whole mouth of waffles just turned out to be too liquefy inside and left no chance for chewing of biting ( kind of like swallowing the mouth is better than biting) hmm, the process is like biting one-mouth and the next mouth you know, you will need to swallow down fast.

As for the waffles with maple syrup (3), sadly to say that the maple syrup is just too much for the waffle. When taste, I could only feel the maple syrup taste with sweetness came overwhelming inside my mouth. Need to drink a couple cups of water just by eating probably 1/8 of it. Maybe it would be better if the maple syrup weren't that much amount. But anyway, if you are a sweet person maybe you would like it ;) cause personally i prefer more neutral flavour then too extreme on the taste.

The drinks (thou sadly is not made by the Ryan ) still presented it to us well and pretty . Coffee lovers would love it as it taste very coffee (bitterness taste) cause even the cappuccino also tasted bitter when first tried. Really like how the way they made their coffees. Not too sweet, but if you find it too bitter you can also add some sugar, just request the cute little sugar jar ( as seen in the image above) from those good-looking and friendly staffs.

Apart from the coffees and waffles, we have also ordered the 'truffle fries with truffle aioli and parmesan cheese' is it a big bowl of fries but doesnt came cheap as it cost $12.90. The fries is addictive as we just keep on eat and eat non-stop >-< a must order i would say, if you like fries.

Above all, it is a nice experience to dine at Strangers' Reunion. It is a cozy place to hang out with friends, and also a hiding place to laze and read your favourite books. Would definitely be back again ! and perhaps maybe make some friends with the 'strangers'. haha.

Macarons from Laduree!

Though I am a bit late to comment about the macaron craze from Laduree stores but I still hope my comments can benefits other readers out there

Knowing that I am a fan of dessert, my sister bought me macarons from Laduree. Heard from her that there are 2 Laduree stores at Takashimaya and is it best to go to the main store rather then the take-away store since it has lesser queue (not sure now if it still have queue) but anyway, I got to try the blackcurrant, bergamot and coffee.

Among these three, I personally prefer the coffee macaron as it tastes good as though as you are drinking a coffee. The bergamot is lemon it tasted well too with a bit of sour yet sweet lemon taste. Lastly, the macaroon of blackcurrant, perhaps blackcurrant is quite a normal flavour, I will not try blackcurrant macaron the next time since they are so many other flavours waiting to be try!
