Nice Fishball noodles Smile Oct 08, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Teochew | Food Court | Noodles

My Sister in Law was raving to me about this nice teochew fishball noodles at the newly opened food republic at Bread Talk HQ, so I decide go and give it a try

located at the corner of the food republic, and they have a few noodles types to choose from yellow noodles to bee hoon to kueh tiao..

 
I ordered the bee hoon dry and is very satisfied with my order. The sauce is thick and the bee hoon fully absorbed the sauce, nice and remind me of my days during school days when we had fishball noodles dry in school

 
the fishballs are springy and the fish dumplings are nice, the skin is springy and the minced pork filling is fresh and nice, very different than what I eat outside..

Birthday Dinner Celebration Smile Sep 27, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Steaks and Grills | Burgers and Sandwiches

After reading an article on Openrice about this roadhouse, we decide to meet here for our August Baby Celebration.. nice place that is located in Dempsey hill, a very quiet place and Sam told us that this Dempsey Hill used to be the former British military barracks that dates back to the 18th century... The restaurant has the modern American Diner concept and the food here mainly American styled food..

Crispy Calamari rings $16, this is pretty normal, the calamari is not very crispy but is glad the squid is fresh..

 
BBQ ribs $29, the ribs are well barbequed and well marinated but I find the meat a little dry and is quite filling.. however the onion ring were good and tasty. The coleslaw is nice, sweet and refreshing..

 
Theresa ordered the Japanese Prawn Star $24, a Beer battered chunky Prawn patty with Wasabi Mayonnaise. Theresa cannot finish this as she says this is too salty to finish..

 
Pauline had the Fabulous Foie Gras $32, she commented that this is a little salty and oily but still is delicious.. the pan seared Foie Gras is soft and creamy.

 
EL and Jan shared this Bacon meatloaf $35, this is delicious, the bacon is tasty and the meat that is inside the bacon is juicy and well marinated..

 
We ordered this clam chowder too, nice, thick cream soup with clams in it and a bowl full of potato cubes, nice...

 
We had a great evening, the atmosphere is nice and cosy. The staffs are very friendly and nice.. great place to hang out with friends....given the quantity of the food and service, we feel the price we paid is quite reasonable...

Coffee Session with Friend Smile Sep 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American

Theresa n me meet up earlier at MBS and we decide to ease our coffee craving at the Coffee Bean café that is located next to the fountain at MBS, they have both indoor seatings and "outdoor" seatings... thou the seats are located outdoor, but do not worry, they are not hot as it is still within the shopping mall and thus air-conditioned..

 
they have this system installed on all their tables, the staffs came to us almost immediately when we press on the button to get their attention and service..

 
I ordered a cup of latte. The latte here is nice, strong coffee taste and well balanced of milk and coffee. The milk did not cover the taste of the coffee but enhance the taste.

 
Theresa had cappuccino and she commented that its nice and strong coffee taste too..

 
I find that this place is great for friends gathering and the staffs here are quite nice and polite too..

Dinner at Au Chocolat Smile Sep 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : French | European | Café | Desserts and Cakes

Pauline n Sam tell us how nice the food is at Au Chocolat but we have yet to have a chance to try. Finally, we are going today together.. Au Chocolat at MBS is divided into bistro dining area and a retail confiserie with a wide selection of chocolate and candy. Apart from selling candy and chocolate, the retail confiserie also has items of their icons Yufa and OO, 2 cute dogs...

Each of us ordered a drink.. sam had Banana Boost $12.00,a drink a combination of white chocolate and banana.. she commented that this drink is nice and she is able to taste the taste and sweetness of the banana. Wendy had Mango Magic $12.00.. forget to ask her for the taste but I suppose should be nice coz no complains from her.. Theresa and Myself, we had the Taiwan lychee beer $12.00, its so nice, sweet and refreshing. Pauline ordered the Hot Fudge $10.00,accordingto her, this is nice when its consumed when its hot, the drink is creamy and had strong, nice chocolate taste..

 
we ordered 2 sides to share
1) Sweet Potato Fries $12.00, that is served with Mayo & BBQ sauce.. I super love the sweet potato fries here, it is sweet and crispy.. a recommended dish to order...

 
2) Mushroom Bites $14.00 that is cooked and simmer in red wine sauce. This dish is served with tomato and slices of toast at the side. Spread some of these mushroom on the toast and it's so yummy. The mushroom is well infused with the sauce and is soft, great combination to eat with the toast.

 
each of us ordered a main too, Pauline, Evelyn and Me, we ordered the nice, yummy Boeuf Bourguignon $26.00. This is beef check, bacon, carrots and mushrooms slow cooked in veal stock and red wine. Looks small when it is served in the pot but it is actually quite filling as there is mash potato underneath the beef and a bread at the side. I would strongly recommend this dish as the beef is well cooked, soft and had absorbed the sauce making it tender too.. the mash potato on it own is already tasty but taste even better when you eat it with the sauce. A very well done dish..

 
Sam and Theresa ordered the California Smoked Salmon Sandwich $20.00. Both of them have no complains with this dish and both commented that this is nice and the serving is huge.

 
Wendy ordered the Pacific Crab Cake $32.00. I had a small bite on this and this is nice too. The crab cake has nice, sweet taste of crab. Worth trying too..

 
We are all so full from the meal but well, there is always a little more space for desserts and furthermore, there is no way we can resist the temptation of desserts from the huge selection of cakes and pastries from the confiserie. We decide to order the Kalamansi tart $9.00 and Cookies & cream brownie $5.00 to share. Personally I prefer the Kalamansi tart over the Cookies & cream brownie. The Kalamansi tart topping has strong kalamansi taste which is sourish but the taste is so refreshing. You need to eat this together the tart, the combination is heavenly, the sweetness from the tart plus the sourish taste from the topping, nice and well-balanced... The cookies & cream brownie is nice but a little too sweet to my liking and so I only had a bite and stop...

 
We are actually here today for the Wednesday waffles promo that is 50% off on the second waffle purchased but was told by the staff that we cannot had waffles at the bistro area and that we have to walk over to the confiserie for it. We are comfortably seated down and do not want to sit at the high chair at the confiserie, we decide not to have the waffle today..

Thou we are disappointed that we don get to eat the waffle at the bistro area but still I think Au Chocolat is worth visiting, the staffs here are friendly and quite prompt... great place for friends meet up... I will definitely return again...

Japanese Cruisine at Sushi Tei Smile Sep 25, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

We go shopping at Vivocity and has cravings for Japanese food. We decide to have early dinner to avoid the crowd. Sushi Tei at Vivocity always has long queue and we are glad to be shown to our table after queuing for around 5 mins.

Fiish roe chawanmushi, I quite like the chawanmushi at Sushi Tei, it is smooth and has strong egg taste, the serving of the fish roe is a lot and nice.

 
This is so unique, Golden Roll. Crispy tempura prawn with sushi rice wrapped with mango stripes. The tempura prawn is crispy and you can taste the freshness of the prawn. The sweet mango stripes enhance the taste the prawn and rice. A must try at Sushi Tei.

 
Grilled Teriyaki Squid, the squid is fresh and grilled nicely. The squid is soft and yet chewy, the sweet teriyaki sauce is nice.

 
Crabstick Chawanmushi, nothing special, just that the steamed egg custard is smooth and nice.

 
Grilled prawns with Mentaiko (明太子). The prawn is fresh and the mentaiko sauce that is spread over the prawn is so yummy, a great dish to try.

 
We also ordered a hotpot to share, the soup base is sweet and the ingredients they provide in the set are fresh and nice.
