Coffee Kaki is a hot spot for people looking to get some coffee and local delights. My favourite would be the mee siam which is not too spicy (own opinion) and i really love the generous servings, with the eggs and other ingredients. The gravy is also quite thick and i love it that way. Yummlicious!

Max Brenner is the place to go for chocolate lovers. Even if you are not a chocolate lover, it is a great place to chill and unwind with its cosy atmosphere coupled with dim lights. Located at the Esplanade, it does have a classy feel to it.Anyway I happen to be in the vicinity and decided to pop by with a group of colleagues. We ordered a couple of desserts and they proved to be meant for sharing with its not-too-small portions. It is best to share too cause if not the chocolate may prove too overwhelming to finish alone. It is not too sweet too which is good for people who do not have a sweet tooth.

At Kuriya's, there have a small stall just behind the cashiering area which sells onigiris and other food (like Lok Lok).My sisters and I often buy the onigiris here as they are quite flavourful and inexpensive. I got a Noritama Onigiri ($1.20) which is essentially egg and seaweed onigiri. These are actually quite easy to prepare at home too but i fancy the shape of the onigiri and it is easy to eat on the go. Quite salty and the rice feels as if it has been seasoned with the flakes even though it is only at the outer layer.

I am always intrigued by the range of flavours and the appearances of the baked goods at Green Pumpkin. There are not the usual floss breads but have names like Melon Pan or Hot Cheese.On one of my visits, i decided to get a Yuki Blueberry ($1.20). The bread reminds me of those slightly sticky, and moist breads. The blueberry jam is only centered at the middle of the bread so its like quite bland till you taste the concentration of jam at the centre. Not particularly impressive.

But i will still return to try their other bread flavours.

I seldom pass by this shop when i was in JP. Mayson's Bakery sells both pastries, cakes and breads, quite like Prima Deli.Anyway i bought their Chicken Curry Puff ($2) but i find that the pastry skin is too thick while the potato curry fillings are a little bit too little. It may look big and worth the price, there is only a thick layer of filling in it. I only manage to taste the potato curry after my second bite. The pastry skin is nice and all but a bit dry. Would have preferred more fillings in it.
