Waffle OK Mar 14, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes

Went with my friend to Wimbly Lu. We actually walked passby it without noticing and had to walk back.

 
I did not know the car was part of the decor.

 
On the inside you can see them making the desserts.

 
Even though there plenty of free tables, the service staff seated guest near each other. My friend and I sat with a table(seated with customers) on both sides. It was a little awkward to take photo. It was also awkward to talk to my friend as the table next to us could hear our conversation, just like how we could hear theirs.

 
Ordered the Root Beer Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream($5). The cake was drizzled with some chocolate and it really tasted like root beer. But afterawhile it started to taste like chocolate cake. The cake was dense and very slightly gooey. With the vanilla icecream, it tatsted like root beer float except that the root beer is in a cake form.

 
Next came the waffles($8.50). Looked yummy. Chose salted caramel icecream. It tasted more salty then sweet. A little like cold salt ice cream. Not that nice to me. Waffles without the maple syrup was a little plain however the maple syrup help add swetness and made the waffle taste better. The waffle texture was nice, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

Average sushi OK Mar 13, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

Went to the outlet at changi airport at around 3pm for the buffet. Only 1 table was occupied. 

 
Something not to be missed whenever I dine at Sakae Sushi- Ebikko. I love flying fish roe a lot! But the sad part is it is very filling(cause of the rice). 

 
I also love cha soba. However the one at this outlet was overcooked. The soba was softer. The one at plaza singapura is much better.

 
An item you should definetly order is the chawamushi. If all else fail there is still the chawamushi to save the day. I like it, there is crabmeat, mushroom and glass noodles in it. I ate 2 portion of it.

 
Wanted to eat some tempura and the only one I could order is from the handroll. The prawn is nice and the batter is crispy. You could taste more of the prawn from the tempura on than the fried one. 

 
The honey sakura ebi was so so. A little too sweet. Not something you should order, considering that it is a pink plate.

 
It is also a pink plate. Tasted like I was eatiing oil. Texture very crispy. Not nice at all. 
For my red plate I had Tako Sashimi. It was okay but the one I ate at plaza singapura was fresher. The Spicy Salmon Gunkan served here was also a little more spicier than the one at other outlet. The Salmon Sushi at scape is fresher.

Overall after the meal I was bloated. My stomach almost exploded. If you order the right item, it is definitely worth your money and stomach.

Bee Hoon Goreng OK Jan 29, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indian | Hawker Centre


Ordered Bee Hoon Goreng($4) extra spicy.

 
It really did came out spicier. I like that there are ikan bilis(anchovies) as it adds some crunch to the dish. They also cook it longer so that it has a slight burnt flavor which some people like.

 
Other info: If you order prata, they will help you cut your prata into smaller pieces.

Scallops on a stick OK Jan 27, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese

Was at Bedok Mall and came across this shop selling scallops. There are 11 flavors available- Scallop-Q Special, Natural Sea Salt, Wasabi Pepper Salt, Special Mixed, Japanese Seaweed, Barbecue Bonito, Lemon Pepper Salt, Indian Curry, Sour & Spicy Thai Sauce, French Garlic and American Black Pepper.

The staff were very friendly and gave their recommendation. However they were mostly Chinese speaking.

 
Here you can see them adding the seasoning after grilling it.

 
I ordered the Lemon Pepper Salt. I couldn't taste the lemon at all. It tasted more like normal Chinese pepper to me. I prefer the Natural Sea Salt as it compliments the scallop better. It cost $3.30 per stick. However if you buy 3 sticks you get another free.

Advice: Eat it while it's hot or it'll be tougher to chew when it becomes cold.

Average tasting OK Mar 29, 2014

Categories : French | Bakery

Came here for dessert.

 
It is quite a small shop. There are a total of 16 chairs. 8 outdoor and 8 indoor.

 
Everything that was displayed had limited quantity. 

 
I decided to buy the Ginger Brulee Tart($4.10 after discount). Because I love ginger. Took one bite and I could taste the sweet custard and the spicy ginger. It tasted a little like gingerbread cookies. However, the ginger was very overpowering with it's spiciness. My tastebud could not really take it so I did not finish my tart. Not suitable for kids or for people with strong tastebud. It's a pity. If only they tone down the ginger, it would be better.

 
My friend bought the Fuji- A light green tea mousse complimented with a lychee gelee insert and a soft green tea sponge base. The mousse was not the light and fluffy kind but more of the thick and kueh-like kind. The lychee from the jelly was quite mild. You could not taste the lychee unless you were looking for it. Quite a weird combination, lychee with green tea. However, I like the shape of it. Looks like Mount Fuji.

 
The Ispahan- Layers of rose bavarian cream and raspberry mousse with a lychee gelee middle and lychee fruit. This mousse was lighter than the Fuji. The top layer is sweet while the bottom is acidic. Not a nice combination.

 
Strawberry Shortcake- Lightly sweetened whipped cream and juicy fresh strawberry, sandwiched between layers of soft sponge cake. The cream really was not too sweet and the strawberries were acidic. It goes well together unlike the Ispahan. The sponge cake could be softer and lighter.
To me, this was not a trip worth making.
Supplementary Information:
Student Weekday Special- 15% off all cakes and pastries till 5 pm from Tuesday to Friday.

Teatime Special- Any cake/pastry and a cup of tea at $6.80 nett, 1 pm to 5 pm from Tuesday to Friday.
