This is the best ever kway chap that I ever tried in Singapore. Thanks to my colleague's recommendation. I finally have the chance to try it during one of our lunch break.
Spreads of pig intestines and over parts such as pig skin, trotters and pork belly were displayed at the stall itself. Not forgetting of the whole piece of duck hanging in front of the display stall provides us the visual satisfaction. We ordered a mixture of the available ingredients for 4 persons’ portion. Our order arrived with the deep-fried pig intestines and mixture of intestines, tau pok, sliced duck meats and salted vegetables. I would say the deep –dried pig intestines tasted crispy and chewy. The taste would be nicer if dip the chili sauce. It is an addictive delight to me. So, if you are dropping by,do give it a try!

The braised items tasted just flavorful and slightly herbal taste in it. Braised duck here were nicely sliced with tender taste. The gravy was fragrance and savory that gives a taste of sweetness in it.

The kway or known as the rice sheets served here has a big layer of thickness. The smooth rice sheets blends into the rich and flavorful broth with strong herbal taste is worth ordering the next bowl. My colleague did ordered the second bowl after indulging to the rich broth taste.

Four of us spent S$44.00 in total for our lunch. I would say it is quite pricey but definitely a worth to try especially their braised duck meat and deep-fried pig intestines. It would be a sinful supper if you intend to have them at late night. The stall opens till midnight and you might want to consider it in your supper list.

Symmetry is one of the unique café to explore. Located along a quiet side street (Jalan Kubor) just off Victoria Street, it is much more convenient to be located by taking a bus or a walking distance from the nearest Bugis MRT Station. Don’t get deceive by the exterior white walls outlook as it hides the contemporary interior design concept that combines the bare brick walls and woods panel.

What surprises me is that they have catered a queue system for walk-in customers to manage the turnover. All we need to do is to key in the number of pax that will be dinning in , the preferred seating area and also our contact details. Customer will receive a message notification through the phone number from the café with our queue number and waiting time. I felt that there do have a systematic way to deal with customers flow and it is pretty good for me.We were seated at the bar counter and menus and a glass of water were served immediately. The service staffs greeted us with a smile when we stepped into the café which please me and Jina. We started off by browsing the menu to decide on choice of our brunch.

My friend ordered Big Breakfast @S$24.00 which served with 2 eggs of your choice, maple glazed bacon, chicken cheese sausage, hash potato, mushroom, tomato, jam & toast. It is quite a spread with so many items and definitely a filling one.As for me, I decided to try Egg Benedicts @S$20.00 which is strongly recommended by the reviews.The eggs were fine except that egg white was too runny. Bacon was nicely done with the crispy edges. The creaminess of the eggs in sauce was just nice for my tastebud. The dish comes with a crispy piece of hash potato and a portion of salad which makes the complete set. If were to compare, I would still prefer the poached eggs from Hatched.I ordered a pot of Special Breakfast tea @S$6.50 to pair with my hearty brunch. It was a blessing to enjoy a cup of tea sitting at the bar counter enjoying looking at the staffs busy preparing the orders.Truly a relaxing brunch to start off the weekend.

The staffs were friendly and attentive to customers despite full house. I think they did a great job on the serving part. Total bill was S$59.40 inclusive of 10% service charge and 7% GST charges. Definitely will plan for another visit during night time as they served dinner menu too.

There are two types of fried carrot cake selling at various hawker stalls and food court. There are the ‘white’ and the ‘black’ version available in Singapore. The white version is generally more popular than the black on in Singapore as compared to neighborhood country, Malaysia.

This time round, I decided to order the black version of carrot cake with dark sweet soy sauce. I paid S$2.00 and the portion was surprisingly generous. It is nicely pan fried with bits of eggs and preserved radish on it.Loving the taste of the wok aroma when I unfold my packing.

The stall owner only offers only 2 types of carrot cake and each time he starts his wok cooking, he will cook few orders at one time. Customer who is so coincidence to have order that version of carrot cake will get the order served immediately.

All orders made by cash payment and the turnover were quite fast. Carrot cakes are served within minutes in piping hot from the stove.

I have been reading reviews from social media on Strangers’ Reunion Cafe and finally got the chance to dine in. The cafe place is opened by three-time Singapore National Barista Championship winner and second runner-up of the World Latte Art Championships, Ryan Tan. Thus, this explains the awesomeness of the coffee served.

My friend and me decided to have our cafe hopping monthly and this is our first stop. We decided to have dinner on friday night after work.It’s approximately 10-15 mins walking distance from Outram Park station. There are direct bus back to Bedok Interchange from the opposite bus stop.

We reached the cafe around 8pm and we still managed to get a seat. Lucky us! We were seated and served with menu and ice water. We looked around and see other tables serving and decide what to eat.

Here are the foods that we ordered that night. We were kinda disappointed as the serving sequence is unusual. We were served waffles first instead of the main course and the staff told us that we should inform them earlier on the sequence before serving. Staff feedback that some of the customers will have waffles as main course instead. So, if you are going to dine in, it would be good if you inform the staff on the sequence of your serving to avoid any disappointment.Crispy Pork Belly @ S$24.90. The crispy pork belly served with truffle mash, ginger beer, apple & date chutney was served within 15 minutes time.We felt that the meat texture is slightly hard and dry but the truffle mash tasted lovely.Mixed Berry Waffles @ S$14.90.The staff recommended us to try the buttermilk waffles with homemade mixed berry jam and vanilla ice-cream. It was a good idea as we both love the taste of the homemade mixed berry jam. The jam was rich in flavors and it blends well with the buttermilk waffles and ice-cream. Overall taste was just nice and sweetness was not overload.Lotus Root Chips @ S$12.90.We decided to try this as it is rather interesting for us.Lotus root chips was great to satisfy the snacking habit. The tasted was crispy and slightly salty. But when we dip with the sauce served, it was good. Perfect for friends who wish to stay longer in the cafe and they can just munch it away.Cafe Latte @ S$4.90.Nicely served to satisfy the visual look and not to mention the taste was good too.Magic @ S$5.50.My friend in love with her choice. Double Ristretio with milk was a perfect ratio of coffee to milk which makes this serving taste awesome.
Our dinning experience was good but we do have difficulties seeking attention from the staffs. The cafe was full house and the staffs are busy fulfilling the orders. However, the staff still shows a smile on her face despite of overwhelming busy operation. We foot our bill of S$69.40 ( inclusive 10% service charge) at the cashier counter. The staff even greet us with conversation and welcomes our feedback too.

Exploring a buffet restaurant located with a short 10 minutes walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT station and right in front of a bus stop along Bras Basah Road.Straits’ Café is well known with it’s award winning laksa and their durian desserts. The café is one of the choice to whose who wants to enjoy international buffet without spending too much. I personally feel that the buffet price is quite affordable.

Glass panels framing part of the restaurant gives the customers to view of the street life along Bras Basah Road. The interior design of the restaurant provides a comfortable dinning place. However, the space in between the walking path and the serving tables are quite close. Open concept kitchen is also one of the highlight here as we can see the chefs on action and the foods served are still in good condition.The service staff was quite attentive as they will promptly clear the plates once we cleared our foods. This gives us ample reasons for not having many rounds.As usual, sashimi counters are available. The chef will slice upon your requested choice of sashimi to maintain the freshness of the sashimi. Cooked foods choices from chinese cuisine and indian cuisines are available next to the sashimi sections.

Seafood varieties are quite limited but I do enjoyed the snow crabs served though.I saw some of the customers are mainly having snow crabs throughout the night. Service staff will serve the utensils and lime washing bowl for the table that are having snow crab. This ease the inconvenience and I think it is quite a thoughtful service.Do not miss the award winning laksa which is also the hotel’s signature. The gravy taste isn’t too milky and the noodles texture was smooth and savour into the soup. However, the ingredients wasn’t quite generous and the cockles size was small.Durian pengant and durian cake are the signature of Rendezvous. Durian pengat is rich with durian pulp and I am so in love with the taste. I had 4 cups of it and it was truly sinful. Durian cake has the soft vanilla sponge and durian cream.The combination is quite unique. Durian puffs and durian crepes are readily in chilled condition. Durian puff wasn’t that good for me as I felt the puff texture is slightly hard and dry.

Dessert counter is available with various choices of cakes and desserts. It completes with a chocolate fondue too. Fruits and ice-creams are available for those who loves to enjoy desserts. You will be spoilt with choices.
