Char Siew Bao@Man Fu Yuan Smile Aug 19, 2012

The restaurant had setup a stall first floor at the main door of InterContinental Hotel.

The small little stall sells a variety of buns and dumplings. They offered their char siew bao, big bao and their custard lava bun. There were also a number of different dumplings or lotus leaves wrapped glutinous rice as well, believe was extended from the Dragon Boat festival.

White fluffy bun with delicious roasted pork at $1.50 a bun.

 
Note that since it is near Mid Autumn festival, the stall now focus on selling moon cake only.

Restaurant is small and setting is simple, it can accomodate at most 20-30 customers. The owner seems to be a Japanese and you can always find a few Japanese customers in the restaurant.

My favourite in this restaurant is the Cha Soba set.

 
Usually i will request to change all the sushi to Salmon, with an additional of $1. Their sushi had been fantastic, the vinegar rice and fresh sushi was heavenly. However, the standard had dropped significantly since a year ago.

Their cha soba was firm, liked it with lots of wasabi. Their tempura and potato salad are nice as well.

Mee Goreng@Ananas Smile Aug 15, 2012

Had always been attracted by the delicious-looking Mee Goreng and their fried deep fried chicken wings whenever I walk pass a Ananas outlet near to MRT stations. Glad that there is an Ananas Cafe outlet at Queenstown MRT!

They had renovated and there is a small dining area for customers who want to dine in. Will usually packed home instead.
Oily sinful but nice food tongue

Prawn Noodles  Smile Aug 15, 2012

Prawn noodles or Fish soup? a decision I have to make every time I visit this coffee shop.

Both the prawn noodles and fish soup stalls are very popular and there will always be long queues in front of the stalls.

Decided to go for prawn noodles this time round. Flavourful stock from prawn and pork with succulent pork ribs, fresh prawns and tender pork liver at $4, cheap and nice!

Topped up an additional $0.50 and you can add a big portion of vegetables to your prawn noodles.

Pastries @Paul OK Aug 15, 2012

PAUL - French bakery company with more than 120 years of savoir-faire. It is touted to be the leader in authentic French pastries offering unmatched quality of sweet patisserie using all real cream.

Our expectation was definitely raised after reading about this French Patisserie.

We ordered their canele and a butter cream pastry for take-away. More review and photos at http://monsoontravel.blogspot.sg/2012/08/paul-bakery.html

Canele @$3.50
Canele is a small cake with dark, thick caramelized crust and soft centre. The name Canele came from the little fluted copper mould in which it is baked.

 
This canele is flavoured with vanilla and rum. I would not describe it as soft and tender custard center but something chewy like Nonya kueh Bingka Ubi or Indonesia honeycomb cake. The rum is quite distinct and the caramelized crust was quite nice as well. However, $3.50 for such a small piece of honeycomb cake like canele is a bit expensive.

Not sure what's the name of this pastry as the tags were all mixed up. Only get to know that it is some butter cream pastry from the salesperson. It doesn't taste as good as it looks. Neither soft cake nor fluffy crispy puff, cream was nothing special as well. We didn't continue after 2 bites. Perhaps its just because we kept it overnight in the fridge.

 
Maybe we will try some other pastry fresh at the restaurant next time.
