Arriabiata - fusilli Cry Feb 09, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Pasta | Halal

 
Arriabiata is a tomato base pasta topped with chili padi that makes it a spicy dish . It is a vegetarian dish that's why you don't see any meat init . This particular pasta has no other ingredients other than the pasta and sauce . Nonetheless, it still taste tasty on its own . A good pasta don't need no other ingredients to bring the best out of its own other than a good , well flavored sauce .

It wasn't in the peak hour when we ordered the pasta yet it took longer than needed for the dish to be served on our table . We were really disappointed by the efficiency of the restaurant service .

After a long wait, the pasta is finally here and then we dig in . To my disappointment , the pasta was overcooked - way too soft - does that explains our long waiting time ?

Compared to the pasta mania in Yishun, this is too bad . I guess I will never dine in thisoutlet ever again .

Mushy spaghetti ! OK Feb 09, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Pasta | Halal

Let's first talk about the ambience . When I first walk into the library towards the cafe, it's pleasant with quiet ambience . Maybe because it was still early , around the time of twelve plus, it wasn't crowded . Furthermore, it's really clean and bright as well - sweet ! My friend and I proceed to the counter for menu . We saw a variety of spaghetti from mushroom (mushy) to galilee special . We took quite a long time to decide on which to eat as they have good variety of main course from sandwiches to spaghetti - and they all look so damn tasty !
I was really surprised when the person standing at the counter did not pissed off or even try to recommend us some sorts of food to eat; instead she waited very patiently for us to pick our food in our own sweet time . When approached , she kindly explains the dish to us like what's the ingredients and the different types of sauce - cream and tomato . When asked if the sauce could be served mixed together, she smiled sweetly and say we could only choose one .

So, we have decided to try out the different base of both which are cream and tomato mushy spaghetti .

After we paid , we got the table number and sat down . The whole environment is really pleasant and quiet - it's a really good place to chill, let our hats down and have our lunch there .

The waiting time was cool - it's the average waiting time - hey ! The spaghetti needs time to cook, right!

So .... our food is here !

 
Tomato base mushy (mushroom) spaghetti !
To be honest , the tomato doesn't taste too tomato . It taste like some sort of fake tomato sauce on a package . But I think they made the tomato sauce themselves that's why it has that kind of special taste . The spaghetti noodle is cook al dente - the perfect temperature to cook spaghetti . The mushroom given was adequate (: .

 
Then this is the cream base alternative . Unlike the tomato, it is really creamy - not those type that you will get sick of it really easily and not able to finish the dish that type . I was able to clean this dish up . Normally I would have leftovers if I were to eat cream base spaghetti , but not this one! It shows the chef ability to mix the cream sauce really well with thoughts and effort so that people won't be sick of it . Really take my hats down . Again, the spaghetti noddles are cooked al dente . I guess the chef actually time to cook their noodles - they maybe even used timer to be that precise ! (Im guessing it this way because I have been there a lot of times before and everytime, I mean everytime , the texture of the noodles are always the same .

One should really try to dine at cafe galilee at this bishan outlet if they do pass by . I can really account that the staffs there are never persistent or irritating - especially the familiar face I was see when I dine there for lunch or snacks - I think she's a mixed blood . She always carry a pleasant smile on her face (: .

About the price, don't fret - it's really worth it given the portion and quality . Gst ? Worth it as well !

Spending - under 15

The end .
 
Recommended Dish(es):  Cream base mushy spaghetti .

Mee reubus ! Smile Dec 20, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Coffeeshop

This mee rebus is an addiction: The sauce is oh so flavorful and so damn thick that leave you wanting for more. It also allow the mee to be eaten without ingredients and i seriously meant it. The abundant ingredients are just there for bonus. The mee is so "Q" that gives it a good texture for our teeth . The egg are normal but heavenly when drenched with the sauce. Really, this is a must-try.

beehoon Smile Dec 20, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Food Court | Vegetarian

 
Vegetarian beehoon is always nicer than the other stalls "normal" beehoon and i have no idea why. It's like they have some special ingredients in it. The beehoon taste nice even on its own without any ingredients smile. It is well flavored with good texture that is not too dry and mildly oily to taste.
The mock meat is good: sweet , soft and a little bit chewy. It does not really taste like it's made out of flour.
The steam egg? Don't ask me about it. I didn't like it: diluted with unnecessary ingredients added into it. However, please note that i am not a fan of steam egg. My colleague pointed at the other ingredients but the person added the wrong one. So ya.

3 in 1 rice balls Smile Dec 20, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Desserts and Cakes

 
The portion is quite big for a 2.20 bean curd with 4 rice balls in it.
I asked for a mix: 2 peanuts and 2 sesame.
The bean curd "syrup" is actually quite sweet and is most probably at the bottom. So with your own preference, you could either mix them together or not at all if you don't want your bean curd to be sweet.
The rice balls are big, round, puffy and smooth. I love it alot.
The bean curd is also very vulnerable and breaks way too easily but I am ok with that as i usually smash them before eating XD.
