Awfully Good! Smile Oct 31, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
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!

No.1 Tiramisu in Singapore? Smile Oct 31, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Bakery | Desserts and Cakes

Glad to say that I have found my No.1 Ranked Tiramisu in Singapore!
Tucked away in a corner, it is easier to find this place if you head up to B1 from the MRT. I had quite a hard time finding the place when I came down from the first level.

 

 
Quiet and comfortable with limited seating, you might find it hard to get seats if you meet the after dinner crowd. I would suggest heading over between 3pm - 5pm where they are currently having a coffee promotion where 2 cups are priced at $7 bucks.
Classic

Classic

 
This is probably the one which I love the most! I like how light and delicate tasting it was, with the coffee complementing and not overwhelming the entire taste of the cake!
Lychee

Lychee

 
Probably the sweetest one out of the lot, it was be great for sweet tooth who like a hint of fruity flavor injected into their Tiramisu. it is definitely my first time trying a Lychee Tiramisu and I find it pretty refreshing!
Green Tea

Green Tea

 
I had a hard time deciding between the green tea and classic flavor as my favorite! You will love this if you are a matcha fan. The green tea powder had a very slight bittersweet taste which I really like. Definitely another must try at the cafe!

There is another dark cherry flavor available which i didnt get to taste. So perhaps I should plan another trip down to try it as well as enjoy a cuppa of coffee while I am at it!

***

So there you have it! Awesome tasting tiramisu in Singapore isnt elusive anymore! Head down to Clarke Quay central to grab a piece now for SGD 6.90 smile

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. 
Half Portion Noodles with xtra serving of mushroom

Springy noodles, savoury chilli and really fragrant vinegar in generous amount is whatalss the perfect bowl of minced pork noodles.

Add $1 more for an extra serving of mushrooms which is marinated still it is packed with juice seasoning. 

Looking for ba chor mee? Look no further than Fei siong!

Wormy worm Cry Oct 30, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Fusion | Restaurant | Seafood | Kids-Friendly

Noodle Around is located opposite Bugis Junction and near to Liang Seah Street. It is popular for their prawn mee which originated from Adam Road. However this time we decided to check out their steamboat as well as their crab dishes.

 
The steamboat is served with a fresh platter of prawns, fish, chicken and vegetables, together with a refillable soup base. The platter that you see below is a 2pax option which was definitely generous for the both of us. Sadly the meal was marred by a discovery we made when we were starting to dig in.

 
Yup. That was a worm on a leaf for us to have an additional “protein boost” it kind of turn me off the entire meal even though the platter was changed. We were more cautious of every ingredient that we had placed in the pot after that.

 
It definitely smell yummy but they were more sweet then peppery. The crab was obviously not fresh as the meat stuck to the shell of the crab, which we had to scrap of with our fingernails and teeth. Not the most pleasant experience when trying to enjoying the crab.

 
In terms of flavor, the chilli crab is definitely the more preferred choice compared to the black pepper crab. it isn’t very spicy so it will suit those who cant take spiciness well! However similar to the black pepper crab, the meat was stuck stubbornly to the shell of the crab.

I wouldn’t be heading back to Noodle Around for the items listed above, but I would still get it another go, for the highly recommended prawn noodles. Perhaps only after trying that would I be able to decide if this restaurant is a write off or a place which is worth heading back.

Food with a soul Cry Oct 30, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Pasta | Seafood

 

 

 
Affogato was my choice of poison and it is so good! I really enjoy this cuppa of goodness. The bitterness of the coffee was just right to give the best mix of bittersweet!

 

 
We had ordered fried fish and fries as our sides, and we were pretty surprise that it was a pretty big portion of truffle fries! The fried fish on the other hand was nothing to rave about.

We tried two different mains, it was American Breakfast and Egg Benedict if I didnt remember wrongly.

 
The eggs benny were ok. But if you look at what is served on my plate, i guess you will agree that those are ingredients that were straight out from NTUC. (We even saw one of the personnel walk through the cafe with bags of ingredients to make these dishes )

Wholemeal sliced bread slap with a slice of ham (which was really dry) and eggs benny on top. With a obviously deep fried frozen hashbrown. Did it taste bad? Nopes. But I feel that it is no excuse for a cafe to serve soul-less food like that.

 
This was ok as well, other than the sauteed mushrooms and the eggs, everything else was out of a can or frozen packet and served on the plate again. The bacon was also hard and wasn't crispy too.

Muffet’s Room doesn’t fall into my list of recommended breakfast places. However I do note that they serve really good truffle fries and Affogato; and the portion of their meals are really big as well. If you are into quantity rather than quality, then this will be the place for you.

It’s location isnt the most convenient of all places to go to if you don’t have car, as it is right smack in the CBD area. So perhaps a weekday breakfast stop for CBD-ians?
