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.

Salad buffet OK Jan 27, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Restaurant | Pasta | Steaks and Grills | Halal

Went with my friend as there was the 1-for-1 promotion. Both of us love pasta so we ordered Fisherman's Favorite Seafood Pasta ($20.90) which stated chef recommendation. However, we ordered it aglio olio style as we didn't like tomato-based pasta.

 
Changing the dish from a tomato-base to an oil-base was a huge mistake. I think the tomato sauce helps add flavor to the seafood. The seafood was not fresh and without the tomato sauce it quite bland. Squid was tough to chew, prawn was tasteless except some spicy flavor from the chili powder. The fish coating was mushy however the inside was okay.
After that, we ordered the Ice Cream Cake ($6.50).

 
It's just a layer of cream followed by a thin layer of cake and then layers vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream and then another thin layer of cake with some white chocolate at the back. It tasted too normal that I would rather just buy a tub of ice cream then this "cake". However, lucky there was a salad buffet.

 

I thought that there would only be veggies but man was I wrong. There were pasta salad, fruit salad, meat salad, chips and many more. There were also many dressing such as honey coriander, mango and thousand island dressing.
If it weren't for the salad buffet I would have felt that coming here was a total waste of my time. Their service was also commendable. They were friendly and fast. Empty glass of water would be filled and empty plates would be cleared.

Tart  Cry Jan 25, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Desserts and Cakes

Went to Fruit Paradise Cafe for dinner with my friends. I ordered the Combo Curry Rice ($13.90).

 
Cold mashed potato with ketchup, salad, deep fried prawn and chicken with rice and sweet curry.
I didn't like the mashed potatoes with ketchup. Salad was quite nice (haven't had a salad that didn't taste nice). Prawns were oily and not that nice. The chicken was a little tough to chew but tasted better than the prawn. Rice was normal, curry was sweet but also a little too salty after a while. Overall it wasn't such a nice dish.

 
Next is my tart. $2 off tart when purchased with a meal. Mixed berries ($5.80)
It is a chocolate based tart topped with chocolate cake, cream and fresh fruits. I felt that it was very chocolatey but luckily there was the raspberry sauce at the side as well as the fruits to help cut down the chocolate-tiness.

For service it was very hard to get the staff's attention. Most of the time their back were facing us so many patrons(including us) had trouble getting their attention.

Tip: Stick to their tarts instead.

Nice Baked Pasta Smile Jan 25, 2014

Went to Pizza Hut for dinner. Look through their menu and Truffle Mushroom caught my attention.
Truffle Mushroom

Truffle Mushroom

 
Basically, Truffle Mushroom ($11.90) is penne in truffle flavored white cream sauce topped with chicken ham, turkey bacon, button mushroom and cheese of course! It was cheesy and you could taste some of the truffle. Definitely something you should buy at Pizza Hut.

Tip: It is more worth it to go during lunch time as they have a lunch promotion. Lunch promotion is available on weekdays from 11am to 5pm and includes 1 main course, 1 soup of the day and 1 drink at either $8.90, $10.90 or $12.90 (depending on the main course you are getting).
