For just $8 for a Hamburg Steak with Egg set at Pepper Lunch, it is probably one of the more value-for-money stalls at Wisma Atria's food court. Compared with the other stalls that serve $6 char kway teow or prawn mee, having a sizzling hot plate of hamburg steak for $8 seems pretty affordable. I like how the set comes with lots of bean sprouts and sweet corn - all you need to do is to pour some of their teriyaki sauce over it and wait for it to sizzle to perfection.

I don't take spicy food (not even a little bit) so it's very rare that I would step into a restaurant that serves Laksa. Well, they do offer non-spicy items on their menu such as burgers and pasta, but I was there to try out one of their signature desserts - the Chendol. They even have an ice shaving machine in a corner where they prepare the chendol. It consists of a mixture of gula melaka, red beans and pandan jelly over shaved ice and drenched in lots of coconut milk. The Chendol here makes for a sinfully yummy dessert if you have a sweet tooth and love coconut milk! =D

A friend recommended me to try the chicken pies here, claiming that they are the best chicken pies he's ever eaten. The pies come in large or small sizes and are accompanied by a side salad if you're dining-in.Unfortunately, the pies that were served to us that day were not hot enough which made the crust not crispy enough. The good thing about these pies is that it's filled to the brim with chicken meat. I didn't enjoy the breast meat though, as it made the texture pretty dry. However, the cream sauce base they used tasted quite natural and not too salty. Probably not "the best" chicken pie for me, but I think it's worthy of a second round. =]

There are quite a few good hawker food stalls at Wisma Atria's Food Republic but this is my first time trying the Dim Sum here. I ordered a Lor Mai Gai 糯米雞($6), steamed glutinous rice, that comes packed with lots of ingredients.There are Chinese sausages, chicken slices and mushrooms all mixed together with sticky glutinous rice that is steamed to perfection. I'm quite surprised to find rather good dim sum at a food court, but of course it is on the pricey side compared to the other food stalls there.I also ordered myself a Char Siew Sou 叉燒酥 ($3.20). While the bbq pork meat is not as flavourful as the ones you would get at a high-end Chinese restaurant, I thought that it was comparable to the ones you can get at Crystal Jade Bakery. The baked skin was crumbly and sweet, with savoury slices of char siew inside. Mmmm.. yummy!

A very interesting ice cream store that concocts your chosen ice cream flavor on the spot using liquid nitrogen!  



From liquid flavoring to ice cream in a matter of seconds, this is an interesting concept that kids will love! I tried the Hazelnut Cheese Cracker 

 

The ice cream came with chunky bits of crispy stuff in it which made for a nice texture. However, the hazelnut flavor wasn't that strong and I would have preferred a more pronounced nuttiness to it. 

Overall, it was great fun watching the 'scientist' concoct your ice cream and I would probably return again to try out their other flavors.
