Refreshing desserts Smile Mar 24, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Chinese Desserts | Desserts and Cakes

Honeymoon Dessert is always full of diners whenever we passed by. We got deterred by the queue many times but today, we had finally decided to give it a go.

I always prefer cold dessert to hot one, and I like it to be as colorful as possible, so I ordered this mixed fruits sago with coconut juice ($6.5)

 
It was a refreshing dessert, not too sweet and with the addition of many fruits, it made me feel less guilty about having a dessert. I enjoy biting down the basil seeds too.

Nice cake Smile Mar 24, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Peranakan / Nonya | Bakery | Desserts and Cakes

We ordered a cake to celebrate dm's birthday. I asked for a cake with less cream and the staff recommended me this chocolate hazelnut cake ($37.8 per kg). I have to admit that I was rather skeptical at first because this cake looks rather simple. It looks elegant, but not as 'delightful' as other fruit cake.

 


However, I was pleasantly surprise after taken a bite of it. The cake was soft, and rich in Nutella taste which I love. The amount of cream was just right, the first time everyone finished the cake without throwing away the cream!

Katong Laksa Smile Mar 20, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Coffeeshop | Noodles

Although it was a hot day, we decided to bring the heat to the next level by having the 363 katong laksa. My laksa cost $4. Despite its plain and simple look, the smell is tempting enough to get you dive right in. The laksa came with prawns, fish cakes, bean sprout, and laksa leaves (yes, I asked for no cockles. I can either choose to please my stomach or my taste bud, in this case my choice was the former one). The laksa tasted fragrant, there were ample laksa leaves, which I love. I strongly recommend you to add some sambal for that extra kick, it wasn't that spicy, at least to me.

Categories : Chinese | Hawker Centre | Ramen

This is one of my favorite ramen places in hawker center. I love their dry ramen ($3.5) best, mainly because of the sambal they use. They always put two types of sambal on the counter for self-service, one of it being the sour-ish, watery type in bright red color, while the other one is drier and in dark red color. I like to add extra sambal (the darker color one, which I think it complement the dry ramen better) to my ramen for extra kick. The dry ramen came with two deep fried dumplings, vege, and minced meat. My only complaint was that the fried dumpling is usually too hard, not crispy enough and there was barely any fillings inside.

Italian food Smile Mar 18, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Middle Eastern/Mediterranean | European | Pasta | Steaks and Grills

We were around the Bukit Timah area and decided to have our lunch at Saizeriya. As far as I could remember, the food are cheap and the quality is good for the price.
Genovese spaghetti ($5.9)
The spaghetti was done al-Dante, paired with fresh basil sauce, olive oil and cheese. The sauce was on the oily side but was rather fragrant. Look at the color! It looked so green that I wondered if they had added any coloring. 

 
Spaghetti chicken bolognese ($3.9)
This tomato sauce was light and sweet, the perfect taste to entertain kids. The serving was just right, enough to make you feel full but still leaving spaces for sides or desserts.

 
Pork with black pepper chicken steak ($8.9)
If you can't decide whether you want to have pork or chicken, don't need to crack your head over it, this dish offered you both. The meat was fine, just like how it is expected from food court, nothing fancy but nothing screwed up either. We liked it that the black pepper sauce was served separately and not poured on the meat, so that we can enjoy the dipping games .

 
Seafood chowder ($3.4)
There were clams, and some vegetables in this creamy soup. At this price, I have tasted many worst off version. I was actually quite surprise that this one turned out fine. It was above my expectation given the price paid.

 
Butter corn ($2.9)
It was ... buttery! The corn was slightly overcooked though.

 
Focaccia with garlic butter ($2.2)
Actually it looked more like naan. The bread was rather chewy and we had it last. Just chew on and on .... while waiting for the rest to finish their food.

 
Chicken wing ($3.95)
We ordered the 4-piece set. The chicken wings were crispy, but not burnt, while the meat was juicy and tender. I can't find fault with this one at all, this is something that I will come back for.

 
For additional $3.9, you get to complete your meal with a small salad and get drink bar free refill. If you are not keen for the salad, you can just pay $2.8 for the drink bar free refill. 

 
Overall, the food here wasn't great, it was kind of sub standard but certainly worth the price you paid for. As long as you adjust your expectation accordingly you will be pleasantly surprised. For us, we enjoyed our meals and we love the wide variety of food offered here.
