In comparisonto Krispy Kreme (arguably the king of glazed donuts), J.Co's donuts are a lot softer and airy. I prefer the substantial texture of KK's firm but fluffy donuts, with its characteristic semi-hardened, crystallised, sugary glaze crust.

The Glazzy ($1.40) is an airy and very soft deep-fried flour dough with sweet honey glaze. It's very very sweet, and really can be called saccharine. This is strictly for the super-sweet-toothed. Not for me though.

This is a cafe version instead of the usual full service restaurant, so the menu's limited, focusing on one-dish meals for a more casual and fast-food feel.

We had:

1) Fried Kang Kong with Garlic ($7.80) fragrant, crunchy and delicate. I liked the deep fried garlic topping

2) Tom Yum Soup with Chicken ($11.90) - mild in spice level, but had a nice sour tang.

3) Peek Gai Sod Sai ($2.80 per piece, minimum 2 pieces) boneless chicken wing stuffed with minced chicken and thai herbs and served with sticky sweet Thai chilli sauce - chicken was juicy and flavourful, with strips of black fungus providing a delectable crunch

Coffee Club used to be hidden within the Times Bookshop, but since the bookshop closed down, it has since moved to a more open spot right smack in the middle of the central concourse area on the first floor.

Although I always have really good meals at Coffee Club, the dish today was a little off their usual standard.

We had the Honey Glazed Chicken ($15.50) which turned out a little weird. The combination of lime, chili and honey marinade, together with the French onion crust somehow didn't quite harmonize. Otherwise, the chicken was fairly tender and juicy. I liked the baby carrots smothered in the brown gravy

Although Wendy's returned to our shores with much fanfare, it's quickly died down because of the teeny tiny portions of the burgers and its lackluster quality. It's quickly become just another run-of-the-mill fast food joint, and far from a worthy competitor of Mackers.

We had:

1) Spicy Chicken Sensation ($4.90 on its own, $6.95 combo meal with a small fries and soft drink) - a puny little burger, with one sad piece of lettuce and a small chunk of breaded chicken thigh. The chicken was fairly good, not dry, and it had a nice spice, but I have to say that this really was quite small

2) Beef Chili ($2.70) - probably the only unique thing on the menu that I'd come back to Wendy's for, it tasted fairly authentic, like the chili con carne I'd eaten in the States.

The Katong branch of this cze char chain is more spiffy than the usual bare essentials-only, primary-coloured plastic chairs and simple air-conditioned coffeeshop style. Walls are white-washed, furniture is colour-coordinated, gleaming white floor tiles are correspondingly matching, lights are dimmed for a warm glow in contrast with the stark white interior. The design is decidedly clean cut, modern and fresh.

We had:

1) Sliced Fish with Spring Onion & Ginger ($11 for small) - thick slices of fried fish were meaty and fairly fresh. Not the best version I've tried but definitely above average

2) Fried Tofu with Seafood and Vegetable in Claypot ($9 for small) - chock full of ingredients, sliced fish, prawns, squid, snow peas, baby corn, peppers, snow peas, and of course, smooth and soft egg beancurd cubes. But what made this dish standout was the luscious slurpworthy gravy, infused with garlic and oyster sauce

3) "Chun Kee" Hor Fan ($11 for medium) - flat rice sheets flash fried with beansprouts and sliced fish in a light gravy. The standard here has dropped, the noodles were clumping together and the gravy was a little too starchy, but this is still one of the better versions of "san lou hor fan" around
