Decided to visit Coffee bean again after a month or two. Although The Coffee Bean is very slightly more expensive than Starbucks, I still prefer The Coffee Bean for their smoother ice blends, and more chocolaty taste in their mocha drinks.

I got my favourite large Mocha Ice Blended as usual, for about $7.40. The ice was blended pretty well, and the chocolate taste in the mocha was very strong, just how I like it, but still not losing the coffee flavour. However, I feel that the price is on the high side, but I still continue to drink it time after time. Call that addiction.

One of Ikea's signature food is the hot dog. For $1 each, you get an not so cheap sausage in a hot dog bread. If that isn't good enough value, you can opt for a set of hot dog, drink, and ice cream, all for a very economical price of $2.

One of the best things about Ikea hot dog is that the sauces is up to the customer to add, compared to other places where the sauces are like gold and vendors don't want to give a little more. But what I like most is the use of a different kind of sausage. So far Ikea is the only shop I've seen in Singapore that offer sausages instead of chicken franks, and sure, the taste is distinctly different.

It's a must-eat if you're coming to Ikea!

Come to old airport road hawker centre for my favourite BBQ stingray stall, but unfortunately it's not listed, so I can't review that. But I can review my main course, which is this plate of Carbonara. This stall caught my attention with a short queue, and an awesome fragrance I just couldn't resist.

And so I bought a plate of my favourite pasta, Carbonara for $5.50. It isn't expensive, considering that I've eaten pasta that cost $8 at hawker centres. The taste is just fantastic. First of all, the cream sauce is thick, creamy and cheesy. Secondly, the stall is generous with the ingredients such as bacon and mushrooms. I can safely say it's of restaurant standard already.

I'll be back to try some of their other pastas, and I highly recommend this stall to anyone eating around the area.

I had always loved Astons for providing tasty meals and cozy environment for a budget price. And that's why I've come to Astons again today! Like most Astons, the queue is always very long during meal times, and this time it's no exception.

I ordered a Chicken & Sausage combo with pasta salad and potato salad as my sides, and it cost $12.90. Portion is quite alright, just enough to fill me. Chicken is nicely grilled and the black pepper sauce makes it even better. The sausages has some cheese inside which makes it tastier. Overall, really pleased with the quality of food served. However, I feel that paying $5 extra for 6 smalls sausages isn't very economical, and I probably stick with their normal $7.90 meals next time.

I purposely came down during lunch today to try out this famous scissor-cut curry rice with my father after seeing a really long queue while passing by a few days before. According to my father, this is the first scissor-cut curry rice in Singapore.My first impression of the stall is that they sell very different dishes from other curry rice stalls. And so, I ordered some ngoh hiang, braised pork chop, cabbage and egg for about $4. The presentation is as bad as it can get, but I'm not deterred by any awful looking food as long as it taste good.

After the meal, I felt that the taste doesn't suit me. The curry and the combination of red and black gravy isn't my cup of tea. For the record, I do love curry rice a lot. Other than the ngoh hiang which is quite good, the rest I don't like. Some people might like this, but not me. And I won't be going back again.
