I love the coffee and cakes at Gloria Jeans. In my honest opinion, they do a better job then most coffee places! The beverages are not overpriced but unfortunately the cakes are (at around $6.80 a slice!). A large beverage would cost the same price which is kind of the down side.

Nevertheless, My review for today is on the Minty Chocolate Cake, Iced chocolate and Iced Creme Brulee.

Food: I love the different varieties of chillers that give one a great pick me up. One of my favs was the High Voltage (Which was a really high dose of coffee), perfect for that kick to get down with your books and get some studying done!

The Iced Chocolate: This beverage is not overly sweet. It had a milky taste to it which made it taste almost like chocolate milkshake but with a higher amount of chocolate. Finally it was topped off with low fat whipped cream! 8/10

Iced Creme Brûlée: This tasted just like creme brûlée! It was light but infused with coffee. Tasted really good! It was also topped off with whipped cream at the top and drizzled with maple syrup! 8/10

Minty chocolate cake: This was a basic chocolate cake with granche chocolate at the top and a minty creamy feeling in between its layers. The cake was soft and tasted moist (not dry at all) However, it was too overpriced! 7/10

Overall, Gloria Jeans has way nicer chillers then its counterparts. They even have a reward card system going on. One punch in your card for every beverage! and a free beverage when you've ordered 10 cups.

What's better then fast food? Nando's of course! I absolutely love the idea that Nando's has vegetarian options even though their speciality as everyone knows is grilled chicken. My boyfriend's mum first spotted their veggie burger and loved it before my boyfriend brought me here. I must say, This has got to be the best vegetarian burger I have eaten - I dare say that haha! The sides have also, just about always left me spoilt for choice!

Ambience: Nando's has sim setted lighting yet bright enough to see your food. I love coming here for dinner's as it gives off a warm and cosy ambience! People of all ages and races come here and so do couples and huge families of 6! whatever the case, nando's always has room for you!

Service: Nando's is one place that cares a lot about customer service. Firstly, their welcoming staff is always situated near the doors to welcome customers, they offer kids balloons and they aim to please! They are prompt with re-filling bottomless beverages (soft drinks that are re-fillable free of charge).

The down side? I don't think they serve ice water! haha but that's fine seeing that their soft drinks are refillable! I usually bring a bottle of mineral water in my bag just in case things get too spiced up ;P

Nando's is also famous for their sauce called "Peri Peri" and when one orders their dish, the service crew usually asks customers on what level they'd like the spicyness to be at - I found this to be very considerate as well as innovative seeing that I love mine very very very perri perri haha and my friend might have been the total opposite!!

FoodI ordered a side of garlic bread which came in 2 pieces. Lightly Grilled, the garlic and butter was very well melted. The loaves were very soft and enticing!Veggie Burger

I love the big portions of food! I ordered the veggie burger which basically came with a veggie patty, lettuce, tomatoes, perri perri sauce in between two pieces of soft bread! It was absolutely amazing and the patty was very well done! (contained mashed vegetables) and the sauces definitely brought the burgers to life 10/10! (you may request for cheese at $1)

I also ordred 2 order side - Coleslaw and Potato wedges! The coleslaw was very crunchy and tasted good. The potato wedges were spinked with a little peri peri powder to give it flavour and were not at all oily! I also ordered a bottomless beverage (fanta grape) which is re-fillable! (enough to set down the flames of the food!)

Whenever I visited this restaurant, I die to try their yummy looking desserts but more often then not, I am swamped and filled to the brim after eating my mains that I have no space for dessert! haha.

I will definitely be back to try more of this goodness!

Warning: The food here is really filling!

I absolutely love thai food but I'm upset that not many restaurants have vegetarian options on the menu or are able to come up with alternative cooking methods for dishes on the menu. I was pleased to find that Absolute Thai was a complete delight as they were able to cater to my "veggie needs"

The Ambience: The restaurant has a simple yet delightful ambience. They do not over-package themselves as they make one feel like their right at home. This place is perfect for couples are on a date, best friends, families and even gatherings for a group of friends who want to catch up. Very cosy! and a tad cold due to the air con! However, with smoking hot food, who's complaining?

Their service: They gave me no reason to disappoint. Attentive staff welcomed us into the restaurant and even let us pick our own corner seat preferences. The staff also showed me which items on the menu could be made vegetarian for me (and boy, his recommendations were good!). He then checked with me on onion/garlic preferences before going ahead with our orders. I was really impressed that the food tasted so good as from my experience, food could taste pretty blunt when alterations are made. The food took about 15mins to get to us but it was well worth the wait

My Orders :bowl:I liked this beverage which consisted of lychee and I found the star stirrer very charming! Really cute! It was not overly sweet like most beverages 8/10The white rice was fragrant and the rice grains did not stick together. However, it did not really stand out and is comparable to most eateries 8/10Yummy, Who says greens cant taste good? This assorted vegetable dish is the perfect pick-me-up. Both yummy and crunchy, I never enjoyed vegetables so much. It has a good variety of mushrooms, cauliflowers, carrots, cabbage and leafy greens for that perfect balance. It is a known fact that 5 veggies in a dish makes it nutritious! However, price was pretty steep at 8++, not sure if I would order it again though! 7/10This has got to be my fav dish! Braised tofu with basil. I have no idea how they made this dish but it's truly incredible. The tofu was fried to perfection and retained their crispiness. The basil gave the dish a nice aroma and with red bird's eye chilli's came the spiciness. The dish was not salty at all and I could not stop slurping down the gravy which was heavenly! This dish is highly recommended and well worth paying for! 10/10

Prata has been one of my favourite breakfast/dinner foods ever since I was a kid. TAJ Indian food not only has egg prata and plain prata; they've got chocolate prata and cheese prata as well. It was my first time trying out their cheese prata and I must say, it was delicious. It was made on the spot after my order was placed. One whole piece of cheese was used for one prata which melted as a filling into the prata (unlike some stalls that mearly place the cheese on top of the prata).

It was lightly brown when it was served. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. It looked almost identical to the egg prata. It went really well with sugar which was complimentary. It can also be served with your choice of curry at no additional costs. :bowl:

Price wise? $1.50 per piece; which I found to be considered pretty alright seeing that it was up to standard

Ice milo or teh tarik would have added on as a perfect compliment to the dish.

Taj also serves biryani, murtabak, mee goreng, mee hoon goreng and rojak. There is often a queue and food takes about 10-15mins to be served. The outlet is in a coffee shop and is one of the only indian stalls at 888 plaza hence one would not be able to miss it!

I simply love the desserts at Han's! Which I made to perfection and are really value for money. This time round my boyfriend tried the chocolate truffle while I decided to try the blueberry tart. I love the ambience of this cafe. Subtle yet simple, the cafe has a cosy ambience and plenty of seating indoors.Chocolate truffle. In my opinion, this dessert is highly recommend. Moist chocolate sponge cake with layers of thick chocolate mousse and a simple dark chocolate glaze at the top, with a chocolate ball to make it all pretty. This cake does not only look delicious, it tastes absolutely amazing! A chocolate lover's dream! 10/10Blueberry tart. A golden baked pie with a generous portion of blueberry jam in the middle. This tart does not only taste good but is not filled with calories either. I love the delicious crust which is not too hard yet not moist either. There were also pieces of real blueberries at the top! and was glazed with a little icing sugar for sweetness. 8/10Ice blended early grey tea with vanilla ice cream. One of my favorite oh-so-sinful beverages. This beverage is light and creamy with a tinge of earl grey - not too heavy for a hater but just right for a tea lover! Highly recommended! 9/10
