Came down to MOF just because I was craving for a really good warm cup of green tea latte. This place is also great for chilling! 

They have a great variety of matcha drinks and desserts. Their Hot Matcha Latte with Matcha Sauce ($4.50) is my all time favourite! Not too sweet served in thick consistency. 
Their Iced Caramel Latte ($5.50) was also great, although there was a need to add syrup to sweeten the bitterness, it's a good drink for chilling. Overall, I'm glad that this place exists near where I stay because the food and beverage here served never gets dull!

Visited Astons recently because I was craving for some delicious grilled chicken yet I was on a tight budget. It was also a cold rainy night in town so I figured this should be the place. There was a queue of roughly 8 customers but I stood in line for less than 10 minutes. To improve efficiency, the staff gave us the menu to order in advance while queuing. When we were seated, the food came immediately right after. The Lemon Lime Chicken ($8.90) was perfect for me as it came along with some good onion rings and smoking hot baked potato. My buddy got his Double Up Chicken ($13.50) whereby he selected the Hickory & Teriyaki chicken to pair with his potato salad and onion rings. For the price, it's considered really worth it when 2 huge piece of chicken thighs were served. I always love the grilled chicken at Astons because they are always grilled to perfection with some great sauce, all of their sauces are amazing! We also ordered Chicken Nuggets - 8pc ($3.90) to share and although it tasted pretty average, we were glad to have them cheaply. Since it was really cold in the mall, we got ourselves the Hot Chocolate ($3.50). Love the rich chocolate and milk taste but would also love the option of additional marshmallows in the future! Overall, I'm always on about going to Astons for any meal of the day because this place just never goes wrong!

Visited Swensen's again! My buddy decide that he'll treat this time so I went ahead and ordered a good looking Juicy Game Hen with Homemade BBQ Sauce ($16.90), which was more than amazing! The succulent young game hen was fried and roasted for a perfectly golden brown skin, with tender juicy flesh enough to easily be separately from the bone! The BBQ sauce was very flavourful as well, such that there's I dipped the fries with those instead of my usual ketchup. My buddy ordered another attractive dish, the Crispy Cornflake Chicken ($15.50). Some tender succulent moist boneless chicken is hiding behind the crispy coat of crunchy golden cornflakes. Every bite was full of flavour and texture, simply irresistible! We also got ourselves The Rock ($9.50) to share! It comes with 3 signature flavours of hazelnut, cookies & cream and rocky road, garnished beautifully with marshmallow sauce, hot caramel, cocoa pops and wafers. Dry ice was beneath the dish that also created the smoky-icy look when it was served, it was very interesting! Overall, I enjoyed myself to the fullest at this outlet whereby I received friendly service along with prompt arrival of food. Portion and quality of food matches their prices as well.

Always a good neighbourhood hangout place for me! Visited twice in the past to try and have already tried their sides, waffles, cocktail and desserts. So this was my first time trying their main items!

Have ordered their Gratin Chicken ($14.90), which is basically is a really well-seasoned grilled chicken accompanied by fresh baby potatoes and vegetabeles topped with sweet slice of am and cheese served on sizzling hotplate! It was really good. Also ordered their Grilled Boneless Chicken Leg ($12.90), where the tender chicken was deboned perfectly, accompanied with baby potatoes and vegetables too, topped with delicious mushroom sauce. Its similar to the gratin chicken but the chicken here may be more tender for some reasons. Love the flavour! Will always come back for more! Would probably try their escargots the next time.

I've held pretty high expectations about Dean & Deluca at Orchard Central. If you don't already know, it's an up-market brand in New York that sells premium groceries but also has a good bakery and cafe.

Learned that they adopt the self-service concept and customers basically read from the large menu board above the counter to order. Got myself the Chicken Burrito ($22), because it has some really nice ingredients such as ancho chicken, black bean, tomato salsa, guacamole, jack and cheese in tortilla wrap. I love all the flavours and texture of the ingredients combined, but for some reasons I wasn't impressed and the overall taste felt like something I could make at home. The burrito were hard and tough to bite despite the flavours. However, I did like the chips and salad. My friend got himself the Italian Meatball ($22), made out of Italian pork and beef with marinara sauce on bread. The hero of the dish, the meatballs, tasted tough too. We were not sure what went wrong on that day but it sure was a pretty stable weekday early evening. Overall, I visited this place with high hopes but left with disappointments. The food weren't bad, they were just .. too average to be priced like that. If only they price things lower and rid away the self-service concept, I may consider visiting again. For now, no. However, I do fancy their fresh grocery selection with really interesting premium ingredients.
