The fun of making pan cake! OK Mar 03, 2014

What do you like about pancake? Was it the taste, the toppings, or the fun of making it?

 
A basic pancake batter at Slappy Cakes cost $8, you will be provided with a bottle of pancake mix, maple syrup and butter cube. We added two fixings - banana and bacon bits which were at $1.5 and $2 each.

This is the Classic breakfast ($16.50). The bacon streak was fried to crisp and it goes perfectly with the soft scrambled egg.

This was our vegetable benedict ($13.5). Love the 2 poached eggs that were cooked just right. The hollandaise sauce drizzled over the egg tasted slight lemony with smooth and creamy consistency. Below the eggs were sauteed mushroom, caramelized onion, spinach, tomato and toasted brioche.

BBQ and Steamboat  Smile Mar 03, 2014

Categories : Thai | Coffeeshop | Halal | Mookata

Kai Krata is a new addition to Bukit Batok at Blk 134 Bukit Batok Ave 6. It was opened on 20 Feb 2014. We went there while they were still having their 50% off promotion (promotion ended 28 Feb).

 
This was our standard set ($13.95), suitable for two. The prawns were big and fresh, tasted superb be it barbecued or threw into the soup. For the add-on, we chose black pepper beef and tom yum chicken. We barbecued most of the ingredients on this plate.

It was fun brushing the butter on the BBQ plate with lemongrass stalk. It reminded me of putting on make-up, brushing on foundation ... Look at the BBQ plate, it was so smooth after applying the butter, haha.

Tada! Our first round. To prevent the BBQ plate from charring, we often poured soup on the plate. The tom yum taste lah, black pepper taste lah, all washed down to make the delicious broth.

Overall, the food here were decent. There are not many BBQ and steamboat style restaurant at Bukit Batok hence we were really delighted to see this one opened here! This make a perfect place to catch up with friends over dinner.

Italian Food at Good Price OK Mar 02, 2014

Our appetizer was Caprese ($11.9). This is the classical food presentation of this dish - slices of tomatoes and fresh mozarella cheese arranged in alternating fashion, sprinkled with chopped basil.

This healthy stew of mixed vegetables and parma ham is called ribollita toscana ($11.90). Despite its look, it was actually quite tasty, but filling too.

Call me cheesy, the gorgonzola sauce on the gnocchi algorgonzola ($10.9) just wasn't up to my 'cheesy' expectation. This is when the parmesan cheese came to the rescue.

When our filetto alla tartufato ($25.9) arrived, we finally realised our mistake - both main dishes were in cream sauce! Don't get me wrong, the sauce was nice, the truffle was not overpowering and the herbs used were ample. But, the cream certainly isn't easy on the stomach.

We were full but still couldn't resist the temptation to order a dessert. They ran out of their signature Tiramisu Si and the waiter recommended this cake of the day ($5). It was a tad dry and hard, and filling too. This cake was the only food that we had leftover on the table.

Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri ($7.5), a sweet and sour mix blended. It was refreshing and just the right drink to accompany our creamy main dishes.

Cheers, where else can you find a $3.9 per glass red wine?

Simple and nice food! Smile Mar 02, 2014

Categories : Porridge/Congee

The restaurant looks so simple and of minimalist design. We had passed by several times but had always skipped it. Not today, though. We felt impressed by the enthusiastic staff who was zealously finding us a seat while we were browsing through their menu at the door. Sometimes, a small gesture made a big difference.

Olive veg sweet potato leaves $8.9
This dish is slightly salty with the addition of olive veg. Usually, we couldn't stand salty dishes but when it comes to having porridge, salty dishes suddenly became appealing, and in fact, favorable. What a double judgement we have, right?

Claypot dried chilli frog leg $16.9
Don't you like the smooth and tender frog leg? Drizzle the spicy and sweet gravy over the porridge and instantly transform your plain white porridge to the dark one, not to mention double in flavor too.

Hong Kong style porridge $7.9
The porridge was bubbling hot when served. The smooth porridge paired with fried fritters, best combination ever. We love to coat the fritters with porridge to slightly soften the harsh edges of the fritters. Yum yum... Who say porridge is only for those who falls sick?

My favorite katsu spot Smile Mar 02, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Ramen

Saboten rolled up breakfast menu which they serve until 11am. This chicken katsu sandwhich ($9.9) was part of the breakfast menu. Refreshing shredded cabbage and crispy katsu were sandwiched between two slices of soft white bread.

This Irodori combo meal ($28) was interesting, you get to choose a combination of katsu that goes into your plate. My choice was: main dish - mentai tenderloin, sub-side dish - asparagus cheese roll, side-dishes - ratatouille katsu and mini cheese katsu. Among these, my personal favorite was the ratatouille one. Yum yum.

This was Irodori curry ($23). The breadcrumbs outside the katsu was fried to perfect crisp while the meat remained tender juicy in the inside. The curry gravy was fine. I am a spicy food lover so this sweet curry barely tickled our tongues. It tasted good nonetheless.

The shredded cabbage was served free flow. It can be enjoyed with yuzu dressing or sesame dressing. We love shredded cabbage, and it is not surprising if you see any one of us alone finishing off this gigantic bowl of cabbage. It was so refreshing, especially after eating the katsu, it kind of cleansed our tongue from the oiliness.

My verdict? I think the food tasted great, I won't hesitate to come back for their wonderful katsu. However, service-wise, we thought there are still rooms for improvement.
