Low Fat Yogurt Smile Jul 21, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American


Has anyone tried the low-fat, frozen swirl yogurt from Coffee Bean?

Wanted to get something healthy and cold on an extreme hot day and decided to try the Peach Mango flavored yogurt with almond flakes. (Regular - S$6.50)

One taste and I immediately know it’s not the normal fat-saturated cream but healthier, low fat cream.The peach mango flavor makes it refreshing and appetizing. What best it comes with almond flakes, making the eating process crunchier.

It has many other flavors and toppings to go with which I will try them one by one.

Thai Dessert Smile Jul 21, 2010   (Related Review)
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Restaurant

We are back, with vengeance this time. Just me and my greedy wifey.

After not being able to try the dessert, we decided to do it for our high-tea. And we ordered

Mango Sticky Rice – S$6.90
Tapioca with Coconut Milk – S$5.90
Mango Sticky Rice is a great dessert to end of the dinner. But always rem to ask the waiter if the mango is sweet or not. If it is not, they will alway let you know and recommend other desserts instead.

We also ordered the Tapioca in coconut milk. The tapioca is just the right texture. Neither too soft nor too hard. But you got to dip it in the coconut milk to get the best combo. I knew I have "won" it AGAIN. lol

Fresh, soft bread but small Smile Jul 21, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Bakery | Café | Desserts and Cakes


Was walking around and saw this small pathetic little bread(called wassant) outside the shop.
And it actually cost $6 for 10 pcssad Got to be some kind of 'atas' breakfast for the 'atas' people.

Hence that day, I decided to be 'atas' for ONE DAY and bought two packets - chocolate and cream - doubly 'atas' lol

The bread is actually very soft and fluffy! Simply just melts in your mouth and releases the cream and chocolate flavour. Can taste quality and not overly-flour-ed. However, my vote still goes to the chocolate wassant.

My 'atas' status just lasted for 2 hours. tongue

Authentic Thai Food in SG Smile Jul 18, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Thai | Restaurant


Was recommended by many of my colleagues, I decided to bring my wife and in-laws there for dinner to "score" some points tongue

And in the end, I won the world cup lol

The ambience is good and the service is excellent.

For 5 people, we ordered

Tom Yam Seafood Soup - S$9.90
Crispy Garoupa with Thai Chilli Sauce - S$28.90
Pandan Leaf Chicken(4pcs) - S$12.90

The much-heard-of TOM YAM seafood soup and its heavenly. The soup is fresh, sour and spicy all at one go. Not for the faint-hearted, pls. One sip and you will be knocked out just to get up again and ask for more.
Garoupa is served in thai style with ample toppings. The fish is fresh and so crispy that we actually ate the bones. Wonder if we are suppose to do that.

Not a chicken fan but the big chuck of chicken meat grilled in pandan leaf makes it fragrant on the outside and soft on the inside.

No space for desserts anymore but will definitely come back for them!

Hotpot on a conveyor belt! Smile Jul 03, 2010   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Restaurant | Steamboat/Hot Pot

I had the signature mushroom soup. It was a versatile soup base and went well with all the fresh ingredients that I grabbed from the conveyor belt. However, my favourite ingredients which was the Sliced Wagyu Beef and Salmon Belly had to be ordered from the Premium Items section.

Unlike the conventional hotpot elsewhere where everyone shares one large pot, everyone gets an individually controllable stove at Kichi Kichi. For greedy eaters like me, I also liked that Kichi Kichi offers the all-you-can-eat concept. I think the layout of the restaurant is pretty cool too. Food was decent. Service was good. Efficient staff cleared the empty plates regularly and were prompt to refill the soup.

Oh they actually have eight sauces to suit all tastes but my favourite was theChilli Padi with Vinegar, Kichi Kichi Sesame Sauce and Chilli Chin Chalok. Goes well with the beef and seafood.

Anyway my gf was having fun with the ‘Secret Recipes’ plates cruising the conveyor belt and I became her guinea pig as usual. Her creations turned ok. Thank goodness. Overall we had a fun dining experience at Kichi Kichi.
