Chowder OK Aug 25, 2013

I ordered the Peace, Love and Muscles Chowder ($8.50) which was their chef's special! I upgrade it to a set that comes with a drink and a sandwich for an additional $4.90. I had ice lemon tea and ham&cheese sandwich!

The soup already comes with a bread of its own, plus the soup was really thick and full of mussels. My friend tried it and he didn't like it. I supposed if you don't eat much vegetables on a regular basis, you won't like this soup because it has spinach taste in it and the soup is actually greener as compared to the picture shown there. The bread which was free, was really nice to eat! You can either eat it on its own or dip into the soup. The soup consists of a generous amount of ingredients, I would say the soup itself is 50% and ingredients 50%, and this is why it will make you full before you even finish it. I got very sick of it halfway through, so it's actually better to share with your friend.

The ham&cheese sandwich was really great!!!! It's nicely plated with salad at the side. The cheese and ham really makes a good combination! The bread itself was really nice and soft too. The salad had some raisins in it and it added some sweetness to the overall taste which is sour, yet sweet.

Generally, after trying soup spoon for two times, I think the next time I go to soup spoon again, I'll be trying more of the sandwiches than the variety of soups. And I think it will be better for two person to share one set because the soup is really filling.

mango beancurd Smile Aug 25, 2013

Similar to Lao Ban, I decided to order beancurd from this stall to share with my family. I bought the original and mango flavoured one for $1.50 each. In comparison, I think the original one had nothing to rave about, it's not as smooth or silky as Lao Ban, I still prefer Lao Ban's. As for the mango one, I think it's great, partly because the mango flavour makes it a little sweeter and less bland, although it has a similar texture to the original one. For $1.50, I think it's more reasonable to try the mango one!!

Fish soup OK Aug 25, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Porridge/Congee | Chinese Soup

My mum recommended this fish soup stall to us when we were in Chinatown yesterday! I love fish soup so I could not pass this up for the rest of the food!

I ordered the fish soup + bowl of rice for $5. For $5, there's quite a generous amount of sliced fish inside. However, the fish were sliced quite thickly. I prefer it to be thinner though. There's vegetables, 2 pieces of small tofu and 1 slice of tomato inside. The soup was okay, not too salty but not very flavourful too.

Fries and fries OK Aug 25, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Café

Went to rock & ash once and I brought my friends there because of the rather affordable set meal (less than $10 each after 20% discount), although it might have been a wrong choice because they ran out of olive rice and we were heavily spammed with fries instead sad So make sure to be there earlier because they ran out of sides pretty fast, except for the fries. We went there at around 8pm.

We ordered 2 dips medium fries and they gave us another complimentary small one because they ran out of a lot of things. But we didn’t finish because our mains had fries as well, which we didn't know! Our dips were Spicy BBQ, Garlic Mayo, and a Nancho cheese which was complimentary. All mains come with a set of free flow drink and free flow of soup. Yes you heard it! FREE FLOW! But the soup of the day, mushroom soup, was a tad disappointing though. I supposed it's because the soup was finishing and we got a lot of sediments from the bottom of the pot.

I ordered a fried dory fish for myself and I didn’t really like it because it seems to be heavily deep fried. I had to scrap off the fried outer layer else I would have ulcers. The fried dory fish itself wasn't very big already, and after scrapping off the skin, it was even smaller. But I really like my coleslaw though! smile

Anyway for all our food we spent a total of $38! Which is less than $10 per person! My friend had the beef burger which I really recommend!! The meat was so succulent and juicy I regretted not ordering that instead. The staff were quite apologetic that they ran out of some of the sides that we wanted, so they gave us the complimentary fries without telling us and at that time we already ordered our fries, so we ended up with too much fries.

A cup of exotic coffee Smile Aug 19, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Coffee

After our breakfast, my friends and I went to Starbucks to get some coffee fix! This Starbucks at RWS is different from all other Starbucks in Singapore as it sells coffee that are made from more exotic beans. I thought that it would be quite expensive to have a cup of coffee made from these exotic beans, however, the price range is about the same as a cup of normal Starbucks coffee. I love the vintage feel of the storefront, feels like I'm in a different country and makes me want to go in and explore! It's located on the first level at the Forum.

 
A close up of the menu for the reserve coffee, in case you think I'm kidding you that it's the same price as normal coffee.

We ordered the Guatemala Finca Los Caballitos, Pour Over type @ $6.50 after some recommendations from the cashier. Difference between pour over and French press? I'm not sure too, pour over as the name suggests, it's just pouring hot water (of a certain temperature) over a piece of filter paper with the coffee powder on it. French press is like pressing coffee taste out from the powder. So one is press, one is pour.

The friendly barista was showing and telling us how she actually made the coffee. We didn't really follow on what she was saying because we were too fascinated in looking at the process, from the coffee machine generating the powder from coffee beans to the pouring process where the coffee drips down from a "hole" in the cup that's above the cup meant for us. She also advised us how we should go about drinking it. She got us to try the first sip before deciding whether we want to add milk accordingly. It was quite bitter so we asked for milk and sugar to taste. The original taste of the coffee tastes like a milder version of black coffee and with a very light tinge of sourness. The barista told us that we're supposed to taste some lemon but we aren't coffee connoisseurs so we didn't really taste that.

 

 
If you want a more novel and personal coffee experience, why not head down to this special reserve store? smile
