Spotted this outlet after a visit to a nearby restaurant cafe and I find this a perfect place to chill out after lunch over their yummy gelatos away from the hot cruel sun.

Order the Avocado and pistachio flavor after a round of tasting and they are really good! Rich and creamy, the flavors are closely matched to the original ingredients.

I spent a good half an hour chilling out in their cozy environment which has quite a steady stream of customers. 

Prices are pretty much similar to what is offered outside, SGD 4.50 for a single cup scoop, SGD 6.50 for 2 scoops and SGD 8.50 for 3 scoops.

Definitely worth a trip down if you are in the area and looking for a place to chill out at.

Everything but the chicken Smile Feb 21, 2014

Medium Rare Steak with Sides

Medium Rare Steak with Sides

 
Enjoyable lunch as always with Aston Specials! Their side dishes are always great and never once had I experience a batch where they miss the mark! I didn't managed to grab a more detailed picture, but this steak was a little tough despite getting it at medium rare. A small bump in the otherwise enjoyable meal.

My colleagues and I unfortunately always have a bad experience with their chicken dishes which comes with a distinctive burnt smell which we could gladly do without.

Comfortable sitting and attentive service staff, this outlet has been catered to suit the busy lunch hours that you are expect from the tall building surrounding it. They have recently changed to a order and pay first system which allows food to be served quickly without much delay.

The best bet is always to head over at 11.30 as you might have to wait for a seat if you head in 1/2 an hour later.

Awfully Good! Smile Oct 31, 2013

Categories : Desserts and Cakes

This is a cake which my dear food kaki, Kaiyi have raved about to me; and I have even heard claims that it was even better than Awfully Chocolate’s cake (Though I am never really a fan of their cakes)

I was curious, but there was never a good reason to get the cake since its first outlet is tucked away in Changi Village, a 30mins drive away from home. However, with a new outlet opened at 313 Somerset, my sister’s birthday proved to be a good excuse to indulge in some chocolate!

I placed an order on their website and selected a day to head down collect it.
Instagram this picture once I got my hands on it cause I was so excited to sink my teeth into it.

There is both original and dark chocolate flavour. Because the family is more into Dark chocolate, that was the choice which I totally dont regret!

 
I love love love how generous they were with their chocolate which was so smooth and melts in your mouth, sending you to chocolate heaven! If you have eaten before and love how Royce chocolate taste, this is exactly how it felt with every mouthful.

PURE CHOCOLATE SENSORY OVERLOAD!

My weekly cravings for ba chor mee is always satisfied by the crazy yummy ones served at Fei Siong outlets. Since I work at Alexandra area, other than the one at HP building, the other one is vivo's outlet.

Chicken goodness! Smile Oct 27, 2013

Categories : Coffeeshop | Chicken Rice


Sunday means a good day to travel for food! 

 

Instead of just settling lunch anywhere, we decided to brave the long queues at bishan's Ming Kee Chicken Rice to spoil our tastebuds.

 

Soft moist rice and succulent thick generous chunks of chicken, SGD 3.50 for a plate is a damn good price for it.

I always try to resist taking on more rice than I should but Ming Kee's rice is so well buttered, fragrant and moist, I always end up grabbing one more bowl of rice for sharing. 

So if u are looking for a really good plate of chicken rice, you know where to go now!
