Yamazaki @ Tampines 1 OK Oct 02, 2013

My little breakfast (motivation to wake up early) today..... I will usually skip breakfast during the holidays as by the time I wake up, it is time for lunch. Today, I make it a point to wake up earlier to have breakfast, at the same time also to tune myself to the normal routine.

 
This is green tea with red bean cake. It is not very firm and once you bite on it, the cake crumbs will fall all over and could be quite a messy affair. However, overall, I still like it because it had my favourite green tea flavour.

A Farewell Dinner for Colleague OK Oct 02, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Western

A little farewell treat for a colleague at Beach Culture at Pasir Ris Park.
Ambience here was good and there are both indoor (air-conditioned) and outdoor seating. We decided to choose the outdoor area for dining, facing the beach.

I ordered the lychee soda. They will not provide ice-water but the funny thing is, when I asked for warm water, they were okay. My friend then jokingly said that since they served warm water, just gave us some ice and we will put the ice into our warm water ourselves. In the end, they did give us a can full of ice and didn't charge us. ??? *Puzzled*

 
Nacho with cheese and bolognese was nice and addictive.

 
Since there were 4 of us, we ordered 2 sets of the grilled meat platter. The lamb was very salty and we feedback to the staff when she came over to our table to ask us how was the food. I didn't eat the chicken as I was quite full after eating the lamb, steak and sausage. Thus, my friend who was sharing the platter with me could take my share. However, she said the chicken was not really nice too.

 
This was supposed to be mango sago pudding The photo in the menu showed the top of the pudding covered with a thick layer of sago but I didn't find it here. Thus, I asked the staff about the sago and also,we suspected the few sago that we "found" in this dessert was not cooked properly. She then took it back to the kitchen to check with the chef but came back telling us that this dessert had all been prepared already and asked us whether we wanted to change to another dessert instead. Thus, I changed to buttermilk waffle with ice-cream.

 
Although the food here was just average, but I liked this type of restaurant with a nice outdoor ambience. The staff were also friendly. Will be here probably with my hubby next time! Maybe to try out their chocolate fondue! smile

Toast Box OK Sep 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Coffeeshop

There are not many food choices at the Pasir Ris Sports and Recreation Centre. Other than McDonalds, the other choice is Toast Box which is a causal place for dining after workout or just have a simple meal here. On their menu, other than the normal bread and coffee, they also serve "heavier" Asian one-dish meal such as Laksa. This time, I ordered Laksa and my hubby ordered curry chicken which comes with rice.

Laksa was fairly nice but of course, cannot be compared to Katong Laksa.

 
Hubby said the curry chicken was nice. I said if it comes with bread instead of rice, I would order that in future.

We booked a table at Ban Heng restaurant which is situated at Aranda Club, near Downtown East in Pasir Ris.
Cold platter of fried spring rolls, bak kwa, shrimp salad.

 
Braised duck meat. The meat was quite tender and well-flavoured. The rest of the dishes were decent but not really very outstanding. Generally, we felt that the food was on a high sodium side. My aunts did feedback to them.

 

 

 

 
This is my all-time favourite Chinese dessert - Yam paste. They served it together with pumpkin paste too. Nice combination.

 
Will only come here for family lunch or dinner celebration, probably is not really a good place to come with friends.

Contemporary Asian Menu OK Sep 24, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Café

Had lunch with my colleagues during the September holiday. As my colleague had to attend a workshop at Garden by the Bay, we decided to have our lunch there so that he could make it for the workshop and joined us later in the evening at the ArtScience Museum. We took a cab there and started to hunt for a nice and affordable restaurant. At first, we thought of going to Bakerzin, but then we were attracted by this neat little restaurant near to the taxi stand. The colour theme of the restaurant is white and from the shopfront to the interior, most of the furniture were white. Very comfortable setting and we felt relaxed whilst dining there.

 
You can find many contemporary Asian dishes in their menu such as Laksa, Curry Chicken with a bit of fusion too.

 
For example, I ordered the "Wok-Hei" Spaghetti. It sounds good and I also hoped that it would taste as good as the name seemed. However, I was slightly disappointed. The dish didn't really "wow" me and in fact, I thought it could be easily whipped up at home. Around $15. On the other hand, 2 of my colleagues ordered their set lunch at $14++, which came with a chicken main, soup and coke, they said that the chicken was really very tender.
