Have you been to a farm in Singapore? I haven't, not until now! The Bollywood Veggies is a ten-acre farm, located at Kranji. There are wide variety of plantations there, ranging from flowers, herbs and spices to fruit trees. You can take a relaxing stroll in the farm while enjoying the greenery. Depending on the season, they will harvest some of their fruits or vegetables for sale on site.

 
Poison Ivy Bistro is located inside Bollywood Veggies, near the entrance. It has a rather rustic countryside setting. We had a peaceful and relaxing dining experience there. Despite the secluded location, their business seems good! When we finally finished our stroll and decided it was time to fill up our stomachs, we were told that the indoor dining area was fully booked, and it was during a weekday lunch time!

Their menu was written on this big black board.

 
Get revitalised with these Cold Lemongrass Drink ($2) and Hot Fig Tea ($2)! They were refreshing and most importantly, not those artificially sweet beverages and you will be able to taste the natural wonder of the ingredients inside.

We ordered a salad - Roasted Pumpkin with Parmesan Cheese and Roast Corn ($8). The dressing served was mint yoghurt. Pumpkin was sweet and roasted until tender, with a hint of balsamic vinegar.

I was slightly taken aback by the name of this curry, it is called Warrior's Chicken Curry ($10). Turned out that it was not as spicy as I thought, but the sauce was thick enough to my liking. I poured it all over my rice.

Farm minestrone soup with bread - the consistency of this soup is thicker than what we usually have. The bread, instead of being dipped inside the soup, I used it to wipe clean the curry sauce!

This was the Twice Cooked Pandan Lemongrass Kampong Chicken ($14), under the Ang Mo Specials. The chicken was a tad dry but the marination was flavorful. We saw few feathers left on the chicken though.

Taste-wise, the food here is slightly above average. Experience-wise, surrounded by the greenery, away from the bustle of the city life, no wonder despite the secluded location the place was almost full house.

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.

Buffet Lunch OK Mar 24, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indonesian | Restaurant

At Rice Table, I bet you will surely be outnumbered by the dishes surround you. At a reasonable price of $17.90, you will be served a total of 14 dishes. Thereafter, after you have finished any of the dishes and if you wish to have more, you may order again at no additional cost.

 
To prevent the food from getting cold, the dishes were being placed on a 'rechaud', or food warmer.

 
Among the many dishes, these are the few dishes that I love most:

Curried Tofu
The curry gravy is similar to the sayur lodeh gravy, nice!

 
Curry Chicken
The curry chicken was not very spicy, and it has nice fragrance from the curry spices and coconut milk.

 
Grilled Chicken
The chicken was grilled in dark sweet sauce, a sweet and savory dish.

 
Chicken Satay
The Indonesian style satay is slightly different from the satay here. I think it is because sweet sauce was use instead of the salty type. The chicken chunks were bigger 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!

Taiwanese cuisine OK Mar 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese

After strolling a while around JEM looking for a place for dinner, we finally decided on Lee's Taiwanese, which we had passed by so many times but have yet to tried it.

Taiwanese Beef Noodle ($14)
The noodle used is the thick flat type, similar to the noodle used for dark sauce Hokkien Mee. The thickness and fullness of the noodle was just right, with generous portion of tender beef slices laying on top of the noodle. Soup-wise, it was a normal one. Overall, I felt that the price lean on steep side judging from the taste.

 
Salt & Pepper Chicken ($6.90)
Although this looked like pop corn chicken, the chicken chunks used here were slightly bigger. It was crispy outside while tender juicy inside. The seasoning was done well, not too salty but still had its fragrant.

 
Snow Bean Curd ($3.8)
The beancurd was not as soft as what we usually had, it was actually kind of ...bouncy.

 
Baby bak choy ($4.8)
The bak choy was served with pork belly, quite a new combination to me. The pork belly had been braised so it was rather tasty.
