I found myself craving for the thick hot matcha at MOF the other day and decided to make a quick walk over during lunch hours.

I merely ordered this hot Matcha and sipped it lightly while reading my book as though I was some rich woman with all the time in the world to watch the world go by. As the soft japanese music play overhead and it wasn't a very busy day, I felt like i was in Japan! haha!I love the hot matcha here as they are really really generous in giving the matcha powder. Nearer to the bottom, you can clearly see the large amount of matcha powder, one pot could most probably brew about 4-5 times! (although I believe it is not advisable to brew the same packet of tea too many times!)

Do head down and try the hot green tea if you want to have a relaxing place to chill!

Nice presentation of our cutleries.

We ordered this vegetable dish which was a special type of vegetable and couldn't be found elsewhere at other zi char stores. I think it is a cross between spring onions and perhaps, spinach as it was crunchy and had the spring onion taste but it also had this spinach taste, thus my funny description. It's really unique but the sauce was a little too salty for my liking. However, I found myself reaching for more. It's still quite enticing nontheless.

We also ordered the soon hock fish. My family never really like eating the whole fish as we were lazy and didn't want to deal with bones. But this time, it was different as the fish was really fresh! I could still taste the ocean while I was eating! HAHA! It may be a freshwater fish though, I'm not too sure.

Overall, this is a good place to have a mini gathering with your family and friends!

Pasarbella at the Grandstand seems to be an up and coming place, I saw people taking wedding photos in there! And this marketplace kind of store had only revamped itself recently! It has a very rustic feel where you'll definitely feel like you aren't in Singapore.
I heard many reviews and saw many instagram pictures reviewing these crodos and I had to try it for myself!Chocolate Crodos ($4.90)I think this was already the last few left from the batch of the day as after I bought one, the next person who came swept up all the remaining 3. Lucky me! This hybrid baby born from a croissant and donut tasted really brilliant! The chocolate was really smooth and ooozes out, engulfing your whole mouth with rich and thick chocolate, talk about sinful indulgence!! I like that the crisp surface still tasted really fresh and was quite flaky, baked to perfection!
I envision that this will be the next food fad as it's really awesome and the love such hybrid foods!

I love vietnamese food for its no frill and easy dishes. You know what you want exactly and go in and order. Quick and Fast!
We bought takeaway which was really fast also! My friend claims that the queue here during lunch hours is crazy long, so it must be good!
We got there around 5 plus which was between lunch and dinner hours so there wasn't anyone around and the service was really fast!
We ordered the spring roll platter ($7 nett) which comes with both shrimp fresh rice paper roll and deep-fried minced pork rolls. I never like vietnamese spring roll as I don't like the lemongrass or minty taste in it. Boy! This really changed my opinion! I love every bit of it!! The deep-fried minced pork roll was also really nice, it was juicy and it didn't feel like I was eating pork!

Main dish:Pho Sliced Beef ($8.90?). The soup was absolutely delicious (I think this is one of my top 5!), the noodles were soft and silky, the beef was really tender and easily chewed. My only gripe was that there's no bean sprouts. I love beansprouts in my pho and sliced onion just doesn't cut it as well. Still, I had no trouble polishing it off as it was really really awesome! I would love to sit in the store and enjoy my pho whilst listening to the store owners chit-chat in their local dialects.

I settled down peacefully and was in midst of waiting for my food when I receive an urgent call and had to rush off.
The waiters were very understanding and didn't make a fuss about my food being in preparation.

I was only able to semi enjoy the thai iced milk tea ($4.80) that came before the call. I ordered this as I was craving for the thailand milk tea I drank at from the roadside stall. The milk tea here was way too sweet and didn't have the strong tea taste. Not too sure what was the root cause but it didn't transform me back to thailand so I think this wasn't on par.
