Bollywood Veggies - Kranji Smile Jan 29, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Indian

Bollywood Veggies is one of a unique rural scene of Singapore which is well hidden at a deep corner of Kranji and Lim Chu Kang region. Due to its inaccessible location, the place is not too crowded and it provide a peaceful stroll by the vegetable and flower gardens after a meal. Poison Ivy is a restaurant within Bollywood Veggies which provide an organic dining option for the visitors, to have a healthy and satisfying meal while at the farm. Vegetarian meal available as well.

 
Poison Ivy Cafe - outdoor seating

 
Air Conditional cafe

 

 
Menu written on chalk board

 
Dessert and drinks menu. One of the hightly recommended item is the banana cake which is made from the bananas freshly plucked from the tree.

 

 
Banana cake ($3.50) - Warm and moist with rich banana taste. Cake is firm and yet soft in texture. With just one bite, you will be able to taste the banana straight away. It is best to eat it immediately while its served warm. Absolutely fresh and delicious. Recommended!!

 
Aleo Vera ($3) - Aleo vera cubes are small and in small quantity. Not too sweet, organic right!!

 
Warrior's Platter ($20) - This value for money platter consist of 6 dishes: curry chicken, chap chye, fried vegetables, chicken wings, achar and tofu with mixed vegetables. Platter is served with brown rice. Larger platter is available for 4pax as well.

 
Chap Chye - Fresh vegetables that are grown in the farm. Very crunchy.

 
Fried Vegetables - I guess they fried the vegetables. It is crunchy and crispy and at the same time not too oily. Rather bland in flavour

 
Warrior's Chicken Curry - Woooo, this is one good dish. Abit spicy but at the same time slightly sweet and sour. Guess its due to the bits of pineapple added into the curry. The chicken meat is tender and firm, highly recommended

 
Achar Fish (left) and Tofu with Vegetables (right)

 
Bollywings - Crispy chicken wings

 
Home made Fig tea and Banana cakes for take away

 
Besides dining, Bollywood Veggies is definitely a good place for family bonding especially during the weekend or school holidays. It is definitely an educational trip for young children as all plants and flowers are neatly labelled all around the farm. A rewarding experience with great air, food and environment, but do not forget your insect repellent!

Verdict: 3.5/5

Lady M - Orchard Central Smile Jan 29, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes

 
One of the latest outlet opened at Orchard Central with 2 storey high of seats for you to choose. Of course, i prefer the staircase sofa seats which are larger in space and more privacy too. Oops, no photo taken for that.. LOL

 

 
A range of delicate cakes such as the signature crepe cakes, strawberry shortcake, tarts etc...

 
All day breakfast, salads and soup are served as well

 
Chocolate Mille Crepe ($9.00) - Only available at Lady M Orchard Central. I really love this version of crepe cake alot. Very chocolaty and i just can't get enough of it, still wanting to get more. The chocolate cream at every layer is thick and its sweetness is just nice, plus the softness of the crepes.. hmmmm yummy. Really must try as this is only available at OC outlet. Eat it as soon as it is served while the crepe cake is still firm.

 
Matcha Mille Crepe ($9.00) - One of the best seller cake of Lady M. Strong Matcha flavour from the generous matcha powder on top of it and from the matcha cream at each layer. Taste is as good as it looks. Slightly sweeter as compared to the chocolate crepe cake.

Verdict 4/5

Address: 181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central Shopping Mall

#01-27 & #02-07, Singapore 238896

(Also available at Marina Square Shopping Mall and One Fullerton)

Two Blur Guys - Tanjong Pagar Smile Jan 29, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Café | Burgers and Sandwiches

The CBD and Tanjong Pagar district offers a wide range of food which attracts both the weekday and weekend crowds. One of them is the Two Blur Guys which is located at a walking distance from Tanjong Pagar Mrt. It is a burger joint which is popular among the young office crowds as they offer a fuse free meal with coffee or beer, good for both quick lunch and dinner chill.

 
Pulled Pork Burger ($13.85) - shredded slow cooked pork sandwiched in between lightly buttered and toasted wholemeal soft bun, together with melted cheese and tomato. All the ingredients fused together perfectly with every bite. Meat was moist and tender, not too salty or dry. Serving portion of burger was decent enough for a normal meal, but not for a hungry stomach. For the price paid for, serving quality and quantity certainly worth it.

 
Pulled Chicken Burger ($12.85) - Same appearance as the pulled pork. Taste was quite similar as well except that texture of shredded chicken was dryer as compare to the earlier one. Not too bad though.

 
Each set comes with a serving of large chunk potato salad and fresh vegetables

.

 
Small capacity of interior seats. Consider outdoor seats if you do not want to infuse your hair with smell due to its open concept kitchen.

 
Alfresco seats

 
Variety of burgers on the menu. Most of it looks appealing to me.

 
Drinks and dessert menu

Verdict: 4/5

This burger joint definitely stands out from the others for its satisfying and well priced burger set. Service was very good and prompt, and staff was attentive as well.

There are other burgers on the menu that are worth trying, I will certainly visit this place again to try them out.

Address: 1 Tras Link, #01-13, Orchid Hotel, Singapore 078867 (Walk 5 mins from Exit A of Tanjong Pagar Mrt)

Long Phung Vietnamese Restaurant Smile Jan 29, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Vietnamese

 
(This photo is taken after 3pm when the queue had already subsided.. LOL)

An authentic Vietnamese Restaurant, Long Phung, located at Joo Chiat road serves quality food at affordable price. The restaurant is popular with locals and the foreigners as well. The queue is quite long when i reached there at 2pm and i had to wait 15mins to get a seat.

 
Their specialty is Pho Dac Biet - Sliced beef noodle which i had heard so many people talking about it

 
Restaurant is full even after 2pm. My goodness.......

 

 
Vietnamese Spring Roll (Small $7) - 4 spring rolls wrapped with vermicelli, vegetables, bean sprouts, sliced prawn and pork. The rolls are extremely fresh and crunchy. The vermicelli is used instead of turnip which we usually see from the chinese spring roll version. The softness of the vermicelli in this spring roll is wonderful. The vegetables and bean sprouts adds crunch to the spring roll and if you are a meat eater like me, there are prawn and pork slices wrapped together too.

Dipped into the sweet brown sauce with peanuts bits for extra flavors and crunch.

 

 
Chicken noodle soup ($6.50) - The clear broth is fantastic! It is tasty and not salty. Lots of garlic, onions and bones must have used to create this wonderful broth. The broth is not oily and with the Pho (kueh tiao noodle), it is simply delicious. Generous portion of vegetables and garnish. Really a comfort food!

 
Grilled Pork Vermicelli ($8.50) - Slightly more expensive dry noodle but it comes with fried spring roll and grilled pork chop. A bowl of slightly sweet syrup is given to add in the mixture for easy mixing. Lots of ingredients such as fried onions, peanuts, bean sprouts, cucumber and cabbage are added into the vermicelli as well. The dish itself taste superb. The syrup makes this dish slightly sweet which make it very appetizing and refreshing. The amazing part is the fried spring rolls and pork chop which are fresh, not oily and goes well with the other ingredients. Really a must try dish.

 


Verdict: 4 /5

Good food, fast service and affordable pricing. This is really a good place to visit if you have not do so. Try it, you may change your mind about Vietnamese cuisine. They are much more delicious than what you think.

A flagship of Teppi Japanese Restaurant, Hanare serves Chirashi Don as one of their main dish. Located near Orchid hotel, you can find Hanare at 3rd storey of a shophouse (beside Blue Ginger).

 

 
You can choose curry set

 
or Bara Chirashi Don set

 

 
Customer can choose to opt for a Buffet Set ($19.90), or their famed Bara Chirashi Set ($17.60) which is their mini buffet where you get a bowl of Chirashi Don with unlimited servings of 4 side dishes and miso soup. The Bara Chirashi Buffer Set ($29.90) entitle you the whole buffet side dishes. I would recommend Set B if you are a big eater.

 

 
Side dishes Buffet area

 
Cook your own noodle. The broth is thick and savory.

 
Fried prawn, fried saba, croquette and fried chicken chunks (left to right)

 

 
Fried salmon belly!!! The meat is thick and juicy, of cos the fats play a part in it!

 

 
Mini Buffet set consist of fried salmon pieces, salad, braised salmon, edamame etc etc

 
Miso soup at your own helping

 

 
Highlight of the day: Chirashi Don. Loads of fish given on a bowl of rice. The fish consist of salmon, tuna, clam and roe. All the ingredients are marinated and taste savory and fresh. Mix abit of wasabi to further enhance the taste.

 
You would be having warm rice with cold sashimi, such a wonderful combination.

 

 
Verdict: 4 /5

The prices is very affordable consider that it comes with the buffet and chirashi don. The food fare pretty good and i have no complaint on the chirashi don. However due to its small capacity, it is unable to cater for too many customers.

Address: 99B Tanjong Pagar Road Singapore 088520, Level 3
