Chocolate tart  Smile Aug 28, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes | Burgers and Sandwiches | Brunch

Nearly missed this little café while walking around Holland after dinner. It has a little sign to indicate that it's on the second level, easy to miss it though. I've heard from my friends that it's well known for burgers but didn't try it because I already had dinner! My friends and I were just there to have some desserts.

 
It was so hard to choose which tart/cake to buy because all of them looks so good! So we asked for some recommendations and the staff there recommended chocolate & salted caramel tart ($8) and also the carrot cake ($6). There was also a buy 1 get 1 free for 3 of the tarts but we thought it will be too much for us so we did not get, but I think it's quite a steal!

 
The chocolate tart blew me off totally. It has a really good combination of bitter and sweet from the chocolate. Personally I prefer my chocolate bitter with a tinge of sweetness and this one was just right for me! I just couldn't get enough of it! The crust was well done too.

I didn't find the carrot cake as exemplary as the chocolate tart like how my friends raved about it. I think it's because I had the tart which has a stronger taste and that covered the milder taste of the carrot cake. But the carrot cake was quite moist, not the dry kind.

Seats are not in abundance at MU Parlor but definitely a good place to chill out with your friends over desserts. We got a table overlooking the streets of Holland Village. Plain water is complimentary but self service. There's large communal table as well, I think it can seat up to 10 pax. Funnily, MU Parlor does not charge GST but service charge instead. We spent $15.40 in total, inclusive of GST.

Steamboat OK Aug 28, 2013

Categories : Thai | Restaurant | Steamboat/Hot Pot | Buffet | Kids-Friendly

After staying at RWS for one night, my friends and I decided to have our lunch at Coca, which seems to be newly opened! And for $18.90++ (student price, valid for weekdays only), I think it's quite worth it, since it's a buffet! We didn't have to queue very long even though we reached around 1pm, we got seats immediately.

There wasn't much variety on the lunch menu that we can choose from, so a lot of food were repetitive for us. Fish Ravioli is quite nice though, good to try. For the meats, not sure if it's the meat or we did not cook long enough, it tasted very soft and jelly, so we stopped ordering that after one round. Prawns are quite fresh as well, we ordered quite a lot of that and saw other tables ordering that too. Taste-wise, the food was okay. Soup base was just normal as well. I like that the table was quite big to place all of the plates of food that we ordered.

Service was not very efficient as we had to wait very long to get attention from the staff just to refill our water. Sometimes we even had to remind them that we need our water to be refilled! But our order came quite fast though. We also had to call for our bill twice also. One of the staff was quite rude during payment as she insisted that we should have told them beforehand that we were students and that she had already keyed in the amount to the register. Anyway the payment took around 10mins, it was very slow!

Cookie monster in a cupcake Smile Aug 27, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Pasta

Loui's Pizza Parlour is always a place I'll go to for my meals whenever I'm in USS. It has good and affordable meals that caters for the young and old as well. Although it's still quite pricey but in a tourism attraction like USS, I say it's affordable because the food can really make one full! It was public holiday so USS was extremely crowded. But Loui's Pizza has many seats to cater to the crowd and we made do with one outside. The queue for the food was long as well, I waited around 20mins.

I had the pasta ($11.90) which comes with a huge sausage and also a cookie monster cupcake ($4.90)! The spaghetti was quite normal, nothing much to rave about but I was so hungry I ate everything up. The german sausage was nicely cooked as well. The cute cupcake that I could not resist buying was surprisingly as good as it looks. Although a little sweet but I love the chocolate cupcake! The cookie on top was nice too.

 

 
Don't bother getting drinks. They're really expensive. There's water coolers throughout the whole park.

fish and cheese Smile Aug 27, 2013

Ordered Feeesh n Cheeese ($13.95) for dinner with my friends. Actually this dish is actually same as Manhattan fish and chips, just that for the fries, they added cheese to make it cheese fries. Anyway so I realised I paid $2 more just for the cheese. sad

I really love the dory fish though! It's well marinated and still succulent. Be sure to squeeze some lemon over the dory fish for some extra taste! There's too much fries for me though, fried fish and fries, too much fried stuff for me. But if you enjoy eating fish and chips, manhattan fish market do have really good and affordable ones! The salad didn't have much dressing so I didn't finish it as well. I asked for extra tartar sauce and chilli sauce for the fries and fish.

 
Service was quite efficient despite being full house and a long queue waiting outside.

Western delight Smile Aug 27, 2013

One of my favourite stalls in SP, this stall sells really affordable pasta+western food and it's super nice!!

I ordered the $3.50 grilled dory fish. It has a big slice of dory fish, spaghetti and potato salad. It comes with a small bowl of mushroom soup as well. For both the fish and spaghetti, you can choose your own sauce, tomato, black pepper or mushroom! I had mushroom for my fish, and tomato for my spaghetti. The mushroom soup and the sauce might taste similar but the sauce is slightly thicker than the soup. The dory fish was really well marinated and it's very succulent despite being grilled.

You can also top up $0.50 to add more spaghetti, wedges or baked beans etc.
