Weekday brunch treats! OK Jul 29, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Ice Cream and Gelato | Pasta | Steaks and Grills | Halal

I love Swensen's weekday lunch treat! Basically for every main course you have ordered, you are entitled to a free side/drink/dessert. Haha how awesome can that be! It's damn worth it!! I went together with a friend and we decided to get a free side and a free dessert for our 2 main courses. For our main courses, I ordered crayfish pasta while my friend ordered curry chicken baked rice. As for the side, we ordered spice n chic and for our dessert, we ordered banana split!!!
Crayfish pasta!

Crayfish pasta!

 
Firstly, for the crayfish pasta, the spaghetti with tomato sauce tasted average while the crayfish meat was quite fresh! The amount of meat in the crayfish was also quite generous.
Curry chicken baked rice!

Curry chicken baked rice!

 
As for the curry chicken baked rice, it was not super nice as compared to my all time favourite curry zazzle baked rice in Pizza Hut. I do not recommend this as the curry sauce they used wasn't very tasty.
Spice n Chic

Spice n Chic

 
As for the spice n chic, we love it as tender thigh meats were seasoned with spices and fried! It was crispy and burst with spices flavour! Shiok!
Awesome banana split

Awesome banana split

 
And lastly, my favourite would have to be the banana split! It's my favourite ice cream here! I like that there was 3 different flavored ice cream (chocolate, vanilla & strawberry) topped with peanut chips, whipped cream, one slice of banana and chocolate syrup! Yum yum! I really like the combination of this dessert! smile Plus, their ice cream are so chewy and yummy! Definitely a must-try in Swensen's lol Overall, it was an average experience dining here and I guessed I would only come back here again for their desserts and sides but not their main courses!

HK food!! OK Jul 29, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong

Saw this restaurant at B1 of Star Vista and found that the design of this restaurant was very cool and old school! hahaha so me and my friend decided to dine here tongue We weren't very hungry that day and so we decided to just order a main course and a few sides to share.
Chicken chop baked rice!

Chicken chop baked rice!

 
For our main course, we ordered chicken chop cheese baked rice which was quite nice! The chicken chop was tender and well marinated and the cheese baked rice was fragrant!! Only sad thing was that the serving was really small sad hahah i think it wouldn't be enough to fill a normal person's stomach!
Luncheon meat + egg sandwich!

Luncheon meat + egg sandwich!

 
Swiss wings

Swiss wings

 
Anw we also ordered a sandwich with luncheon meat and egg which was very nice but once again i felt that the serving was very small. Lastly, we also ordered a set of swiss wings to share. It was basically soy sauce braised chicken wings i think? hahaha but i think the sauce they used to marinate their wings was home-made one cause it tasted abit special and different from the typical soy sauce. Anw the wings was well marinated and was quite tasty!! Worth a try smile We also ordered their hot milk tea and look at the cup they used!! So old school looking smile Overall, I think the food here was quite nice but i really think they should increase their serving of food since their prices weren't really cheap for that amount of food they served (it's like other typical HK cafe).

Eggs Benedict!! :) OK Jul 27, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Café | Brunch

Have always wanted to try the poached egg served in hatched and finally I had the chance when i had a gathering with 2 of my friends!

 
I really really like the layout and design of the restaurant! So cosy and warm! smile
Sir Benedict

Burly Benedict

Burly Benedict

 
Hahaha anyway the three of us ordered 3 of their poached eggs dishes, Sir Benedict, Smoked Royale and Burly Bendedict smile Oh! And we can actually choose either 1 or 2 poached eggs for our dishes and all the 3 of us opted for 2 poached eggs (hehe typical greedy us). I had the Sir Benedict where my muffins were topped up with smoked ham, bacon streaks and of course poached egg. Frankly speaking, i find that their poached eggs tasted normal. Not super nice but not too bad either. haha so my stand for their poached eggs would have to be on the fence. However, i like the muffins, smoked ham and mashed potato smilesmile They were all very tasty! haha. I also tried the sauteed potatos from my friend's Burly Benedict and it is very nice!! smile
French toast fingers

French toast fingers

 
And for our dessert, we ordered french toast fingers to share! hahaha and it tasted average to me. Overall, I enjoyed dining here even though poached eggs aren't my type of food but i guess it's okay to try out new food once in awhile. In addition, I really like the ambience here lol Will definitely come here again to try out their other courses which looked good on the menu. Price wise, their prices aren't on the cheap side (Eggs Benedict served with 2 poached eggs cost $19!!) But i guess it's okay to indulge once in awhile tongue
 
Spending per head: Approximately $24(Dinner)

Chicken wings!! Slurps! Smile Jul 27, 2013

Categories : Western Variety | Kids-Friendly

OH YAY! I'm finally back for my lovely chicken wings <3<3 hahah i really love Ikea's chicken wings!!
Very tasty wings!

Very tasty wings!

 
Highly recommend this to everyone who goes to Ikea cafe to dine! I like the marination used for their wings and the batter they used to fry the wings such that it become so crispy smile The skin of the chicken wing is so crispy and fragrant that I can never have enough of their wings each time I come here to dine. Another plus point is that the meat of the wings also have the taste of the marination and it's so juicy and tender smile unlike some other fried chicken wings where the meat inside the fried skin has no taste sad
Salmon with potato!

Salmon with potato!

 
Hahaha anyway enough of the wings, I also ordered their salmon with potato! The serving is generous and the salmon goes very well with their homemade sauce. I also like that the salmon was fresh and it seems very healthy (i think they boiled the salmon?)
Chocolate mousse

Chocolate mousse

 
As for dessert, I ordered their chocolate mousse which is awesome!! It tasted like chocolate ice cream to me but it's quite sweet and I felt sinful and guilty after finishing one cup of it. Haha for people who are scared of getting fat, you might want to just share this with your friends or something! Price wise, it's very affordable! I think the salmon cost $6-$7plus and the chicken wings are like 1 for $1+ smile Anyway one important thing to note is that the cafe will be super crowded during lunch hours so I advise people who hate to wait, to go either before or after lunch hours smile This will definitely improve your dining experience as you won't get stressed by people who are looking for seats and rush your meal hastily smile

Nasi lemakkkk!! OK Jul 27, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Coffeeshop

Decided to try the food (not the bread) that was served at Toast Box!! I ordered their nasi lemak while my friend ordered their mee rebus! We also ordered a Bandung with pearl to share.
Bandung pearl!

Bandung pearl!

 
Nasi lemak!

Nasi lemak!

 
hahaha their nasi lemak was really not bad (was quite skeptical about it when ordering) but i have to say that the price is much more expensive than those nasi lemak from ananas cafe and hawker centres. Anw their nasi lemak comes with fried chicken wing and an egg and i think it cost around $4 plus?!! Taste wise, the rice was quite fragrant (full of coconut milk taste which i like) and the chicken wing is quite crispy too! Their sambal chilli also tasted not too bad, sweet and spicy at the same time (comparable to those from ananas cafe) smile The standard was definitely better than what I have expected.
Mee rubus!

Mee rubus!

 
I also tried my friend's mee rubus which was quite tasty also! Again, the price of the mee rubus was also higher than those found in the hawker centres. The servings of these 2 dishes were moderate, just nice to fill our stomachs. All in all, I think this meal tasted not too bad but I guessed we can find these food with the same/better standard at cheaper prices (hawker centres) I think we might not come here again unless the weather is too hot to eat at the hawker centres or we just want to eat in comfort!
