Dining at Carls Junior Smile Jun 07, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Fast Food | Burgers and Sandwiches

VivoCity is one of the larger shopping malls in Singapore comprising of a vast array of food and beverage dining options to a selection of small stop F&B bites such as the Don Bakery and many small stop kiosks for patrons to "eat as they go".

The second level of VivoCity is wonderfully designed with a Kids play area followed by a alfresco dining area for patrons to watch over their kids while eating. A very ideal place for families to bring their children on a weekend or the school holidays. The play area being free of charge will cater to all families who are on a budget but still want to have a good time.

There was one night that i was tempted by Carl's Junior as we were about to have a long night ahead of us. Upon arrival, we knew that being a Saturday night it would be very busy so we decided to sit at the alfresco area for dinner. We ordered our meals and had it delivered to us because of the concept of ordering in Carl's Junior.

Being totally famished, i ordered the Turkey Bacon Angus Thick Burger. Well what can i say about this burger? This burger is absolutely sinful and one of the most unhealthiest burgers available on the menu. It is truly a big burger because the size of the burger is really huge and as i mentioned before that if a burger is bigger than my hand, i will be solely impressed and true enough i truly was. The burger had the following items a thick Angus beef patty, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, 2 pieces of streaky bacon 2 crispy onion rings, tomato ketchup sandwiched into 2 perfect buns... The combination of all the patties being put together makes it ultimately amazing. The different flavors in your mouth makes the tastes of the burger absolutely fantastic. However, it must be noted that it is a great way to blow your diet. The calories in this range from 780 calories to 1045 calories.

The complementary order to fries would be the chili cheese fries apart from the other types of fries being served. The chili cheese fries is served with melted cheese and a layer of chili con carne. The taste just explodes in your mouth with a decent amount of complex carbohydrates, this dish also puts you in for the kill with the great taste in your mouth. All this is served with a large beverage in which you will be able to choose from Soft drinks or Home-made iced lemon tea.

Just a small insight on the Carl's Junior, it is actually an American cuisine where the main headquarters is in Anaheim, California USA. A small hot dog push cart business to a Multi-million dollar organization. If you ever do travel up to USA, do not forget to try out their $6 Burger.

It is good to indulge yourself sometimes but not all the time. The tastes of Carl's Junior is fantastic and what to accompany a good meal with great service. The staff were extremely jovial adding to the Saturday mood and provided insights of different burgers. Their product knowledge was extremely good for a customer who did not know what to order.

Childhood revisited Smile Jun 06, 2013

Hershey's Store is a retail store at Resort World Sentosa (RWS). It is located at the Forum section at RWS. It is quite easy to spot once you are in that area. There are 2 ways of getting without the usage of the car, bus or taxi... You can take the Sentosa express from level 3 at Vivocity and you would have to exit at the first stop waterfront station headed towards the universal studios and you will be able to see the store. a fee of $3 will be deducted from your EZ link card but you will take roughly around 5 minutes to get to your location. A second way will be to get there by foot on the Sentosa Boardwalk. It will take around 10 to 15 minutes to get there but you would only have to pay $1 for entering the Island.

Inside this store, there is a large variety of goods including chocolates, sweets and other sweet treats. Furthermore, there is also a section of stuffed toys in the store. This includes the Hershey's pillow and the Reese pillow as well. In the store i was fascinated by a lot of things and in particular the Nutella which originated from Piedo Italy. I saw a large bottle of Nutella costing around $72. It is way bigger than the mega sized Nutella and no surprise, you can dip your white bread and put in the bottle of Nutella.

The store reminded me of the Charlie Chocolates Factory as I watched the movie last time... Lots of chocolate and a lot of great treats for me to see... Upon seeing all the candy, i decided to settle for M&Ms which was the peanut butter M&Ms. I could not find it for quite awhile as how they used to see it at my convenience store. The taste and the chocolate melted in my mouth. Mmm mmm.. it tasted really good and the taste of nostalgia brings on the taste in my mouth!

I will definitely be back to buy more of their items when i am around this area again.

Another outlet at Golden Mile! Smile Jun 06, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Desserts and Cakes

The first time that i have tried Lao Ban Beancurd was the time i tried it at the Old Airport Road hawker centre. Ever since then, i have been craving for this bean curd but of course at a more convenient location.

On a Saturday afternoon after shopping at the Army Market at Golden Mile Food Centre 2nd level, i decided to have lunch at that same location. Level 1 and B1 serves different kinds of food. For example, the basement level serve more Muslim cuisine. On the 1st level serves a more Chinese cuisine.

After a hearty meal at the 1st level of the food centre, i decided to have some have a quality check on the stall just to see the consistency of the bean curd. The location of this stall is situated very distinctly at the corner with a very big and yellow sign board. You would not be able to miss the stall.

Ok firstly for the bean curd, since i decided to take away the bean curd it would let me experiment on how the bean curd will taste like since i usually devour the dessert. I decided to savor it tasting it bit by bit and a little by little. Tasting the bean curd, i saw the skin on the top and the way it jiggles. Unlike other Bean curd stalls that i tried, there is no layer of sugar syrup present. I took the opportunity to cut the bean curd into a few pieces to see about the residue of the bean curd and found something white and it looked to me as if it is had a little Soy Milk.

The taste did not disappoint me as well because it maintained its smoothness and the freshness. I just had a little chat with the lady at the stall and asked her if it is all under 1 boss who delivers and distributes the bean curd and she said that it is being distributed in the morning and all the outlets are the same. I did this because personally i just wanted to find out the credibility of the stall because i did not know much about this stall except that it tasted very good. I got to know a little bit about this stall because of my curiosity.

Here is how you get to the army market for some who are not sure of how to get there. I usually head over to Lavender MRT on the East West Line. Once you reach the MRT, you have to take the exit that leads towards the ICA. Turn left before the ICA and head towards the connector, walk towards the blocks and keep walking straight through the blocks. You should walk straight all the way and you should spot a small police post. Once you see that, you should walk slightly left and keep on walking straight. You should aim for the concourse because Golden Mile Food Centre is around there.

Delivery from Spize Cafe Smile Jun 05, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Halal

Celebrating my friends 21st birthday, we decided to order 2 types of food. One was pizza from Canadian Pizza and the other was from Spize Cafe...

We ordered a few items to celebrate our friends birthday. One was the Nasi Goreng Pattaya (Fried Rice in omelet), another dish was the Mee Goreng Seafood, 2 egg prata, 1 Rose syrup with milk (Bandung) and 1 Ice Milo....

I tasted quite a bit of this food, the Mee Goreng was not that oily, quite tasty and well mixed filled with the egg and a very sweet tomato sauce to accompany the food. One of the key things that it included was the seafood of course! It had the squid rings, the squid rings were not as rubbery as i thought it would be. The prawns were also juicy and quite fresh. Seems the standards were quite good and it remains quite food...

The Nasi Goreng Pattaya was really good. This dish was very surprising and it was quite good because a lot of this dish disappoints me a lot. It was quite moist and the portions were quite big for the price we paid around $7 for it... The omelet was covered well and the rice was warm when it arrived.

The Egg Prata was good big as well. Quite funny see to 4 persons to eat 2 egg prata.. But in the name of friendship everything funny seems pretty good... it comes in a brown wrapper for the delivery..

Lastly, we ordered 1 Bandung and 1 Sprite... to fit the basic order of the delivery. Now you may ask what i am talking about.

Spize restaurant has a delivery service in which they have a criteria to fit. Under this criteria, there are 2 checklists. One is minimum order and one is delivery charge. We ordered to a total of $27 for the food and drinks and since i was in zone 3, i had to pay $8 for the delivery charge coming up to a total of $35... Such an eventful day with some good food..

Din Tai Fung! XIAO LONG BAO! Smile Jun 04, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Dim Sum

Just before my ORD, a couple of my friends and i were headed over to this outlet to try out their food. Located at the basement of Raffles City, this place is very busy! So i went earlier to queue up for my place. No reservations were allowed especially on the weekends. Unfortunately for us, we went on a Friday! I waited for about 30 minutes before seats were available. The one thing this place does is that for a table of 4, they fit in 6 people! Quite smart...

Anyways, this place was something i wanted to try for quite some time. I ordered Xiao Long Bao and Fried Rice with the deep fried pork chop. I spent around $25 including some drinks...

The Xiao Long Bao comes in 10 pcs... Juicy and tasty especially with the stew inside the dumpling. It has been said that it takes a special skill to make the XLB... Tasty but clearly not the best that i have tasted. Maybe it is due to overwhelming response so anyways, it is pretty goood for me.

The service is good and i actually put my chinese speaking knowledge to good use. They were pretty jovial about it but they were pretty Okay and served us quite well....
