My friend and I was around the area and decided to dine here. It was pretty awkward as the queue was at the next building. Hard to tell if they were queueing for seat at the shop. But since we were smart, we deduce that people would not line up at there for nothing and that it had to be the queue for I AM. 

 
The waiting time was not as long as we had expected and pretty soon it was our turn. The waiter led us to a table and handed us the menu. We only wanted to try their cakes but their menu did not have them.

 
We just looked at what was display and ordered what we wanted.

 
The waitress took our order and we waited for our orders to arrive. After a very long time our drink- Stir It Up($6.90), finally arrive. Chocolate-milkey drink topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherry. Apparently this is one of their signature dish. I didn't llike the taste at all. It wasn't really chocolatey, more of a weird milky, minty, mild taste of cocoa kind of drink. The only nice about the drink is the oreo and cherry. Even the table next to us who ordered the drink did not like it.

 
Next came the Scarlett Red Velvet Cake($8.90). The cake was quite dense and tasted a little like chocolate. The frosting was cream cheese. I think it's quite nice and it taste a lot better than the crepe.

 
Lastly came the Rainbow Mille Crepe Cake($8.90). I think the crepe tasted quite plain. There was not much cream in between each layer. Luckily there was some chocolate sauce at the side which help added some chocolatey sweetness to the crepe.

Cheap sides Smile Mar 23, 2014

Went to Burger King for some snack. They have some cheap items on their menu such as coke float($0.95) and 5 pcs nuggets($1.45) which I ordered.

 
The coke float had two thirds of the cup filled with coke and the remainder with vanilla ice cream. It is not suitable for people who are very thirsty. It's a nice combination and worth the amount.
The nuggets were nice. It came with barbeque sauce. Taste kind of like normal nuggets. I never tried their old version of nuggets so can't really compare. But nuggets all seems to taste the same to me. 
A good place to go if you want to hangout with your friends and have some snacks.

Vegetables sushi Smile Mar 23, 2014

Categories : Vegetarian

Came here for lunch because I wanted to try their Vegetable Sushi.

 
Looked at the menu and decided to order the today's special- Organic Angel Hair with Curry Pork Chops($7). It was quite tough for me to order as the person was speaking chinese. With my poor chinese I could not really read all the words. Luckily I had my friend ZQ who helped me order.

 
The dish comes with free soup. The soup came quite fast. Less than 3 minutes after we ordered.

 
The soup has a lot of ingredients inside-carrots, cabbage, sprouts etc.. You would expect a flavorful soup but to my disapointment it was not. It was kind of plain despite having a lot of ingredients boiled together. However my friend said it was comforting. 

 
My meal finally came. Quite fast as well. The pasta was overcooked. It was really soft like mee sua(chinese noodle). The curry tasted like those kind of curry you would dip with bread. The broccoli was cooked well. The pork chop was breaded and fried. It was the nicest thing in the dish, maybe because it's deep fried? I like that they included tomato in the dish because it helped give some acidity to the heavy sweet curry. So whenever I get overwhelmed by the curry I would eat the tomatoes to help refresh my palate.

 
The highlight of the entire meal- Organic Vegetable Sushi Roll($4). A mixture of organic vegetables with some sweet sauce. It tasted like normal rice sushi. There was the vinegary taste(the nice kind) you would get when you eat normal sushi even though there was no sushi rice. Maybe it came from the sauce. The vegetable also provided the cold freshness just like a normal sushi. Also it was very crunchy. I love this a lot and would definitely come here just for this vegetable sushi.

Came to dine at Saveur. Entered in and it took quite some time before the waitress noticed us.

 
Ordered Saveur's Pasta($4.90)- Capellini tossed with chilli oil, finely chopped Japanese konbu and sakura ebi with minced pork sauce. The capellini was cooked al-dente. Had a generous amount of sakura ebi. It felt a little like Aglio Olio except that it is not spicy but still it tasted yummy.

 
Also had the Pork($10.90)- Pork belly served with creamy green lentils, soft boiled egg & natural jus. The lentils really had a creamy milky buttery taste. A little salt and maybe peppers were sprinkled on top of the egg. The soft boiled egg was nice. You could see the egg yolk flow when you poke it. The pork was quite tough to cut because of the skin. The skin wasn't the crispy kind you usually get. It was more of the chewy and hard kind which I quite like. Removing the skin, the meat was easier to cut. It was quite tender I think the whole dish works well together- Savoury(Pork Belly) and Sweet(Creamy Green Lentils). The egg is like an extra bonus. 
Will be back here to dine again if I'm nearby.

Came here with my friend to try their cupcakes.

 
It's a small little shop decorated with cute items.

 
They sell cupcakes, cake in a jar and cake lollies. For cupcake there were 2 types- premium($4.50) and regular($4). The ones displayed at the top is the premium flavors while the ones at the middle are the regular flavors. Asked the person which she would recommend and she said that most people like the Rockin Red Velvet, Saucy Salted Caramel and Cookies & Cream.

 
So I ordered the Saucy Salted Caramel since I have developed a love for salted caramel. The cake was moist and soft. Frosting was sweet but not overly sweet. Caramel did not have a strong caramel taste. Wished they added more of the caramel. The pretzel on top was salted. Overall what I love most was the soft moist cake followed by the caramel sauce, the frosting and lastly the pretzel. The appearance also looks nice. Like they say, Food should always look as nice as it taste.
