Nice Char Siew Smile Dec 31, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Roasted Meat

It was an accident to discover this stall when I was roaming aimlessly around the area.
Tried the charsiew and roast pork noodle.

Portion for noodle is a little tad small but it make up with good quality roast meats!

Infact, it's is very much similar to what I had in Hong Kong.

Roast meat was pretty lean, with ligh crunch on the skin and some salt to flavor.
Charsiew was very well roasted. Thin light crisp on the outside with some char fragrant.

Pretty decent find at this hawker center.

Wide Variety of Food Smile Dec 31, 2010

Categories : Singaporean | Chinese | Food Court | Porridge/Congee | Rice

I think for those who frequent T1 canteen, you wouldnt have missed this excellent stall out.

They serve a wide variety of fresh food at an affordable price, even when you're not entitled to any staff discount.
The 4 variety of food which includes, long bean, sweet&sour pork, beancurd w/salted egg and steam egg cost me only slightly over $3.
Absolute value for money.

In addition, do try out their claypot dishes !
Wonderful claypot rice they have.

Lovely experience, average pasta OK Dec 31, 2010

Categories : Japanese | Restaurant

Tucked at a corner of iluma, I dropped by here for a quick business lunch.
Ordered several pasta to be shared around, and I guess overall everything was decent, but none is outstanding that deserve a proper review.
Perhaps the minced beef Kimchi pasta which caught my attention the most. The rest I'll pass.

Pricing over there was typical casual dining cost. Average out to be $15.00++ per pax.
Environment is nice since there were not much people around.
Service waitress was pretty attentive.

Average Donuts. OK Dec 31, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café

I guess the donut craze are started to stablise .
I can still remember the scene which donuts shops are everywhere with a long queue everywhere.
JCO somehow managed to stay and survived in the throat cutting donut & coffee business, so i though they must have something unique to differentiate themselves.

JCO Donuts in general are little softer, not as firm as Krispy Kreme.
Maybe I'm just bias but I dont find anything special with JCO donuts overall.

But I've to admit that their location are very strategic. Right at the corner in Bugis Junction Basement. Good place to relax and have a sip of coffee after endless walking in town.

Square Breads  Smile Nov 29, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Bakery

It looks like just your typical Japanese Bread shop when you walk past this at Tampines 1. However, I see queues of people waiting for something while the kitchen gets busy. Within minutes, the shop girl comes out with a tray with strange looking bread, squarish in fact.... and puts it down, and within minutes, it's gone.

I stood then feeling astonished, and waited for the queue to clear. The next batch came pretty quickly, and I took one immediately. The bread is soft, squarish, like a cube! The shape is really cute, and strange... as I have never seen a bread that looks this way. Upon eating it, the bread tasted quite creamy, and there wasn't any fillings in it. it cost around $1.50.

I must say that this bread truly left a memory in me, as the shape was special and unique!
