So I was walking around and came across Simply Wrapps today. My first reaction when I thought of lunch at this place, was that it was going to be unsatisfying for me, because I'm very much a rice person during lunch. But I told myself that I should give it a try as there was a snaking queue and I was glad I did!The surroundings - that's as many seats as it gets! Many people get it on the go.

Looking at the plentiful choices I was offered on the menu, I wanted to try almost everything. It felt like I would have tried every type of food in the world, because each wrap had a unique flavour, which was tagged to a certain country. Like Singapore Mixed Seafood Wrap, Taj Mahal Wrap, the Classic Greek wrap etc! But it was my first one and so, I decided to go with the Classic Caesar Wrap.Choose your wrap and flavour

First up: Choose your wrap.

There are 5 types of flavours for the wrap, which you can choose from. I took a recommendation from the staff and got tomato basil as she shared it was the most tasty out of all (her personal take).Next, choose your flavour and you're ready to go!

The Classic Caesar I chose contained its usual suspects: Romaine lettuce, grilled chicken, parmesan cheese, croutons, boiled eggs and classic caesar dressing.

My friend chose the Martian's Delight, which contained: Romaine lettuce, roasted mango chicken, pumpkin, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cucumber and wasabi mayo dressing.

'How filling could the wraps be?' I thought to myself, before I ordered. How wrong I was.

The wraps were HUGE and packed to the brim.I loved the Caesar wrap. The crunchy croutons made it very delectable and crunchy with every bite. The chicken were chunky and filling, and they did not scrimp on the boiled eggs too. This is a safe choice to have here that will definitely set you in motion for a second trip back here.Classic Caesar Wrap

Just look how much is packed into half a wrap!Wrap Dissection!

First thing I see when I look at this, is the huge chunky pumpkin bites staring back at me. I'm a little biased towards this because I'm not really a pumpkin person, but don't let that affect you. It's ingredients are really fresh and surprisingly tasted more salad-y than the Caesar one. I'm thinking that it's due to so many vegetables stuffed into this lemongrass wrap! The chicken was good, but I'm not tasting too much of the mango here. I wish there were more mango taste to really take this selection up another notch.Martian's DelightWrap Dissection!

On a side note, I was also very happy that this place sold Bundaberg. This bottled drink has a nice variety of flavours; I got the Blood Orange one. It was a nice addition to the meal as it zested it up a little and was a nice match with the meal! Overall, I felt that the entire combination of the ingredients were good, it was deliciously made and every mouthful was bursting with flavour. If you're up for a wrap, I would encourage you to get it from Simply Wrapps. I would certainly be getting my next dose very soon... probably... the Classic Greek? (Because I love feta cheese!) They are having a promotion now!

Today, I went to Singapore's first Nitro cream cafe with my colleagues after a tiring corporate but fun corporate retreat! Here's their lovely huge menu board.Their menu!

I went to their branch at Little India. It was very cozy, with just a few round table seats. Each table sits about 4 people.Flavours stacked high high!

Here's some facts about Nitro! For this ice cream parlor, they are freshly made with each order using liquid nitrogen. Their products supposedly do not use flavorings (natural or artificial), preservatives, emulsifiers or stabilizers and are low in sugar.

Well, works for me!Me, My Boss S and Miss S's ice cream! Same flavours!

If you already know me well, you'd know that the ones with fruit loops is mine!!! hahahaha.. I loveeee fruit loops to bits. Me and my 2 colleagues ordered the same flavor but with different toppings. There's an array of toppings you can choose to go with your liquid nitrogen made ice-cream. This one is the salted caramel version ($4.80 without toppings).

Sadly to say, I didn't taste the salt in it at all and suspect that plain caramel flavor was given to us! All 3 of us who ordered the salted caramel felt the same way so I'm pretty sure it's not my hallucination!

I also tried the Baileys Coffee flavor from another colleague and I must say it was WONDERFULLY done. I should have totally ordered that instead, would have enjoyed every single bite of it.

If I were to go back, I would order the baileys one.

Back to the decor of the place, I really like their single well-decorated wall!This is the wall! Can you see what it's made of?Ta-dah! Many hand decorated cups!

Isn't the wall pretty?! This wall is only available at the Little India branch. I have been to the Tampines One mall branch (they have one outlet there too), and due to the available shop space, I think they weren't able to do this too. So much work must have gone into decorating each and every one of these cups!

I took a few pictures of those with more popular and notable character designs:Angry Bird!Simpsons!Shinhwa's latest album~ XI The Classic!PSY... GANGNAM!Little Minions~Like them on facebook!

If you do go to their Little India branch, be sure to check these cups out!

A few days back, I had cravings for Ramen, so I scouted Pickering Street for the Japanese noodles. I chanced upon this shop which had reasonable pricing, and so there I went. I had no idea what the name of the restaurant is saying. Only got it after I asked for the bill, cos it was stated on the receipt. Haha!

Anyway, the shop's name is called Netsu-Retsu Ichibantei Restaurant. Phheeewww. I made it through that super long name. Anyway, I went there with a colleague, and she recommended that I have Tonkatsu Ramen. "What in the world is Tonkatsu Ramen? Please don't tell me it's made from some dolphin meat or something." I asked my colleague foolishly. WELL, hearing the word Tonkatsu always brings dolphins to my mind, so yes, I hope I have explained why I made that silly comment. Apparently, Tonkatsu (豚カツ/ とんかつ/ トンカツ) means pork cutlet.

OMG what a #*%&^*&^#$ difference!Anyway, the ramen came looking something like this:Ramen is not exactly a dish that can be perfected by just anybody, btw. I have a nickname for Ramen that's made in Singapore: Japanese Instant Noodles, I call it. Hey, don't make fun of my nickname making skills can? I just like to think simple, OKAY?

Anyway, back to why I called it Jap instant noodles: Most people in Singapore who think they can cook and then sell Ramen totally insulted the noodles cos they haven't grasped the importance of making the soup broth tasty and the noodles springy enough! And that sucks. SO there. I won't say that this chef cooked this very well, all I will say is that I think this is not bad.

Why? Cos the soup broth is tasty! But I don't really like the texture of the noodles. Too hard. Also, my personal preference will be that there will be no bamboo shoots and too much spring onions in it. Cos I just don't take both items. And in this lunch of mine, apparently the whole bowl is filled with it. I spent some time taking them out though.

I never really liked spring onions from young, the taste feels too raw for my tongue. And as for bamboo shoots... my dad used to tell us it is poisonous, and would scold us if he saw us eating bamboo shoots in a dish. So, from young, my sister and I were just trained not to eat bamboo shoots. I still have no idea why he says it is poisonous, though. He just doesn't eat them and doesn't like us to eat them too. So there.

The tonkatsu (see, I finally know!) was very well done though, the meat was tender and was easy to chew on. The meat was also very well marinated, the taste was very good.

The ramen costs $12, after GST and service charge, the cost is around $14. Still reasonable for lunch, right?I also liked how they did up their ramen menu, on the walls in Japanese! Like, seriously. Japanese? How I know how to read, sia. haha. But well, at first I thought it was art and didn't even pay attention to it. So yes, there you go. If you like ramen, and are craving for ramen, you can just try out this restaurant. But no hoo-ha over this place, though. There are better ones out there.

I tried the milk shake today from the famous (much raved about) milk shake shop in Tanjong Pagar! I don't have photos of the place, but it is a bright and cheery place with purple and white as its theme walls. I won't waste too much time describing anything else, you have to experience most things YOURSELF!

And... here's the Cookies and Cream milkshake from Once Upon a Milkshake!

Don't be fooled by its puny looking size, its very filling! This is their mini sized cup (SGD$3.60). If you don't think this can satisfy you, try the regular one (SGD$5.70).It's very thick, and VERY sweet. Topped with crushed oreo sprinkles.

You have too much of this yummy drink, and I promise you won't end up being the princess in a fairytale.

Just yesterday, I visited this newly opened Korean BBQ Buffet Restaurant 고기 뷔페, at Orchard Central! Reaching there at about 6.30pm, I already saw many people having their buffet session and here I was, thinking that I could be the earliest as it was a work day. I was greeted with this cool queue machine, which they just installed one day before I went there.The Queue Machine.

I tried the queue system (despite having a seat already, naughty me!) because I wanted to see how well it worked. And it was really cool! It allowed you to select an estimate number of people you will be eating with, and ask you to key in your contact number and name. At the final stage, it will check with you if you require a baby seat.

My queue number was A26. I took a screenshot of their message, which was sent to me right after it generated the queue number. (Talk about efficiency!) ^-^They actually did call me later on, not once, not twice, but about 4 times when I didn't pick up my phone! (Sorry lah, busy munching away already, totally did not see the calls!)

I kid you not, Singaporeans eat SOOOOO much meat. I went to take some of the Samgyeopsal 삼겹살 (fatty slices of pork belly meat), one moment it was there, next moment - gone! The restaurant staff were quick to replace a bucket of Samgyeopsal 삼겹살 and I was a happy girl.

Overall, looking at the food, it was a good spread indeed. Here are some of the snapshots of the items they have there!

I usually do not exactly like to eat too much of the side dishes in a Korean buffet, because it takes up space in your belly and you don't end up eating the good stuff, like the grilled meats. I did try a little of their side dishes and it was very satisfying. I loved the Japchae 잡채, tteokbokki 떡볶이 and one spicy stewed pork side dish, which I took second helpings of it. (So totally not me, y'all.)These are the side dishes.Make your own fruit salad!10 types of meats to choose from, for your grilled enjoyment~Being in this place is like being in a live South Korean TV station, watching Kpop performances. It can get a little noisy, with the music playing in the background and the sizzling of meats everywhere. But it all adds to the experience. I took this photo when the sun hasn't set, but you should really be there when the sky gets dark. The lights make a huge difference and the place is transformed into a really cool BBQ club. The lights and the scenery of Orchard Road makes it such a joy to dine here. Even better if you're seated near the glass windows.Decor~

Grilling of meats are done on this huge grill (with the fire contained directly under it so it doesn't feel too hot. Also, the place is really open and has very good ventilation, which works very well for us. Even after so much grilling, you won't smell as smoky meaty as you will with other Korean BBQ restaurants, which usually are in an enclosed space.SIZZLE TIME

Overall, my take on this restaurant is that it offers good value for what you get, with a good, standard favourite selection of meats to choose from and good side dishes. There is good ventilation as well, which is really important! The staff also provide good service and I'm absolutely impressed with the follow-up generated from the queue machine.
