Thai food OK Mar 17, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Restaurant | Halal

I used to frequent Siam Kitchen as there was one nearby my previous staying place. The last time I came, I felt that the quality had somehow deteriorated. I wasn't sure if it was a one-time event, so I decided to give it a try again.
Mix vegetable with tofu in signature sauce ($8.9)
If you are a tofu lover, you would agree that egg tofu is usually flavorful and silky soft, even though after fried. For this dish, the vegetable was fine but the tofu turned out mushy and bland. Understandably, we all took a bite and couldn't help but shaking our heads.

 
Hot and sour omelette curry with prawns ($10.9)
Have you ever had a food that looked so different yet tasted so familiar? It took me a while to realise that this curry tasted like my favorite penang laksa. An interesting twist on this dish was the omelette, it was stuffed with acacia pennata. I think this was the only dish I like at the table.

 
Stir-fried kai lan with salted fish ($8.9)
A simple green for some fiber.

 
BBQ stingray with Thai sambal ($14)
The stingray didn't taste fresh, and the meat was kind of tough and chewy, as some would say 'logo'. We were expecting those BBQ stingray in Chinese Tze Char style but this was nothing like it. The sambal tasted just like plain chilli, we couldn't taste any belacan, shallot or other ingredients that usually attributed to a BBQ style sambal. Another round of shaking heads again.

Summer roll OK Mar 14, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Vietnamese

 
It was past dinner time and we were looking for some healthy snack. Fried stuff, oily stuff were certainly out of our option. So, we decided to have this summer roll at Pho Street. 

The summer roll were wrapped in thin rice papers which allow you to get a sneak peek of the ingredients inside. There was one prawn in each roll, together with vermicelli and some vegetables. It tasted refreshing with the mint leaves. The summer roll was served with peanut sauce, which was rather bland. We actually prefer to have the roll to go with sourish sauces. Overall, it tasted fine.

Vegan burger OK Mar 09, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Fast Food | Stall / Kiosk | Burgers and Sandwiches

I was up to some healthy meal today so I chose to have a vegan burger at Greenzilla.

 
I wanted to order royal mushroom burger, which comes with herbs bun but they had run out of it. So, I get to choose another bun to go with it.

 
The customized version of my royal mushroom burger - with charcoal bun instead. The burger was packed with the goodness of veggies and mushrooms. This is one of the few burgers that I can eat without feeling guilty, because it is so healthy! Personally, I love the tangy tartar sauce as I find the taste more complex compared to the normal version.

 
I was hoping to come back again, this time to try it with the herbs bun!

Mint mocha OK Mar 09, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian

We were around Holland Village area to do some grocery shopping and decided to get some coffee from Da Paolo. Two of us was sharing a cup of coffee- mint mocha.

Our mint mocha ($6), with a heart shape latte art.

I am not a coffee fanatic but I usually expect coffee to be piping hot. This coffee was merely luke warm, which was my only complaint. Other than that, it was perfect. The sweetness was just right, and even though I don't usually like minty drink, the minty mocha somehow appeal to me. The lingering mint taste on the tongue give a refreshing after taste.

Curry in a bread OK Mar 09, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Halal | Kids-Friendly

We got a golden pillow delivery!

 
No wonder it is called golden pillow, the bread is really huge.

 
Cutting open the bread, it was curry chicken wrapped inside a paper and plastic wrap.

 
I always like to eat curry with bread, so this is really all my favorites get packed into a single 'pillow'. We love the bread, it was so soft and fragrant. You get to enjoy the softness in every bite. The curry was not that spicy, so no worries for those who loves fragrant of the curry but cannot take spicy food. As for the chicken, it was tender and soft, but we felt that the essense and taste of the curry had not penetrated through the meat. Perhaps the chicken was not cooked long enough in the curry gravy.
