Waffle Slayer is the new trending waffles café under Stranger’s Reunion. The shop space was expanded next to Stranger’s Reunion. You can read my dinning experience with Stranger's Reunion here.
Waffle Slayer offers varieties of sweet and savoury waffles on top of the existing waffles offered by Stranger’s Reunion. Although the café is mainly on waffles, they do served Stranger’s Reunion menu as well.I had ordered Apple Almond Crumble Buttermilk Waffles @S$14.90++ for dessert after dinner (Date Visit: 7/3/2014). The waffle texture was soft to our liking but overall is delicious. The crumbles and bits of almonds add in the crunchy taste of it. Combination of the caramelised apples with vanilla ice-cream to compliment with waffles do work wonder to our taste bud.
As for service wise, I felt that there are short handed people for serving. We have difficulties getting attention from the staffs. Nevertheless, the staffs are quite friendly and put on a smile to customers.
The total bill comes with 10% service charges.

It has been quite sometime since I last post about breakfast brunch. It’s my second visit to Hatched but to their outlet at Holland Village. The café is conveniently accessible via walking distance from Holland Village MRT station. Hatched is an egg-inspired, all day breakfast place to chill out. The eggs here are served in many different forms such as boiled, poached, baked, scrambled and more.
My sisters and I decided to have our brunch here on of the weekend. The exterior of the restaurant with its floor to the ceiling length glass window and yellow criss-cross bars snaking across the surface gives a creative feeling of the place set up. It has different exterior and interior designs from the one at Evans Lodge.
Sir Benedict S$13.00 (1 egg) or S$19.00 (2eggs) served classic with ham, poached egg and the hollandaise sauce on top of a breakfast muffin. Poached egg was well done as the yolk was done just right as it just flow out smoothly right upon cutting it.The combination of sour and slightly creamy sauce was perfect to enhance the taste of the egg and ham. It comes with 1 or 2 option so sister ordered 1 only and it is quite filling.
Salted Egg Ranch on Potato Spuds S$12.00 beautifully served in a plate.Potato spuds dressed with an Asian twist of salted egg dressing..
Croque Madame S$16.00 served in grilled ham and cheese sandwich with a fried egg on top served with steak fries. Fried egg was nicely done with the yellowish yolk lying on top the sandwich makes the whole dish looks appetizing. Not to mentioned that the steak fries was thick and filling too.
Serving time was within 20 minutes and service staffs are quite attentive to customers. We do get their attention when we need to place order and also refill water. Overall dinning experience is pleasant with the food quality, service and of course companion.
Total Bill was S$63.60 which inclusive of 10% service charge and 7% GST. We didn’t order any drinks as it comes with free flow of plain water. If you are craving for breakfast dinner, you might want to drop by for a filling craving.

When my friend is in town, we went to Ho Tim Wan for a quick dinner. When Ho Tim Wan opened it’s first outlet at Plaza Atrium, the queue was dramatically crazy. People are queuing for hours to get a seat. This is the second outlet located at a walking distance from Toa Payoh Interchange provides heart landers to have a chance to try the Michelin-star restaurant.We were quite lucky on that day as there isn’t any queue at all when we arrive around 6pm. Order sheets were given to us to place our order. So, here goes the foods that we ordered that day:-Baked Bun with BBQ Pork (3pcs) @ S$ 4.50++. This is known as the 4 Heavenly Kings and this dish is well-received by many. It is identical to Hong Kong’s and it is best to have it while it is hot. The baked bun is crumbly and combination of sweet and salty taste.Steamed Beef Ball with beancurd skin @S$4.20++. This is something different for us as we never tried the combination of it. Surprisingly it tasted delicious as it flows smoothly into the throat. The taste was not overwhelming or strong beef taste for us.Congee with lean pork, century egg & salted egg @S$4.20++. HK style congee suits my taste bud.I love the light taste of it. Overall. I can’t really taste the lean pork but more of the century egg and salted egg.Rice with Beef & Fried Egg @S$6.00++.The beef taste alike the steamed beef ball.The empty Vermicelli Roll with Sweet and Sesame Sauce @ S$4.20++ wasn’t too bad. The vermicelli roll is thin, soft and moist. I like the sesame sauce but it can get too salty if you eat it too much.Tonic Medlar & Osmanthus Petal Cake (Cold) (3pcs) @S$3.50++. This is my favourite dessert and best served cold. There are elements of flowers in the cake gives the refreshing taste of it.

Receipt is printed immediately upon ordering and placed on your table. When you are done with your meal, proceed to the cashier counter to make payment. The service staffs are quite efficient in processing the orders. Serving time is within 15 minutes time and they are quite attentive in customers’ attention.

Whenever rainy days or cold weather, i would craved for something hot and Chicken Hotpot is one of my favourite list. I can smell the distinctive aroma few shops away. There is always a queue during dinner time but it wasn't a long wait though. Menus are displayed in front of the shop and we get to decided what to have beforehand. Chicken Hotpot was originated from Shanghai and franchised by Chicken Hotpot Shanghai. That's explain the strong and unique flavor that attracts the attention of people walking pass the restaurant.My colleague and I ordered the couple set (which comes with a small signature chicken hotpot, a small spicy shrimp hotpot and 2 drinks) for $33.80++.Small signature chicken hotpot comes with thick savory sauce and small pieces of chicken meat, capsicum, onion and chili. Did i mentioned that the staff will check with the customer on the level of spiciness we want beforehand?We choose the less spiciness because both of us cannot take spicy stuffs. The sauce is thick and concentrate which we loved to have it with plain rice. The staff will starts to add stock to dilute it along our dinner and it becomes fragrant soup to consume.The spicy shrimp hotpot comes with sweet and spicy sauce, fried prawns, french fries and celery. This is the first time seeing the combination of the prawn with french fries dipped with the sauce. We can add stock to the special sauce as well.There is a display steamboat ingredients fridge at a corner where customers can self-take the items such as mushrooms, vegetables, eggs and more to add into the soup.All these will be additional cost based on the colour of the plate. The staff will check on the table plates before we take the bill to the counter to make payment.

Total bill comes with 10% service charge and 7% GST. I got the 10% discount off total bill voucher so managed to get further discount for the bill. So if you like strong food flavors, you might want to give it a try.
