Appetizers

Appetizers

 

 
It's my first visit to this Japanese restaurant at the new Plaza Singapura extension. They have a rather unique and interesting concept - an open bar appetizer buffet with every main course ordered! Plus, it has pretty good selection of appetizers ranging from chawamushi, salads and other Japanese side dishes.
Beef Sukiyaki

Beef Sukiyaki

 
I decided to try their Beef Sukiyaki ($14.90) which turned out not bad. There were enough beef slices and the sukiyaki broth was rich and flavourful. They even added some shimeiji mushrooms to it. lol Overall, the food was really worth the price and I'll definitely come back again to try out their other dishes.

Ban Mian Lunch Smile Nov 30, 2013

Ban Mian

Ban Mian

 
Located in a small coffeeshop beside Toa Payoh HDB Hub, this ban mian stall seems to be getting rather good business. We were there around 11:45am during lunchtime and the coffeeshop was already getting packed with office workers. For just $3.50, this bowl of ban mian was quite generous with the ingredients and toppings; and was also quite tasty! The mian was also done just right - not too thick and cooked just right. Yummy! lol

Matcha Latte Smile Nov 30, 2013

Categories : Japanese | Café | Desserts and Cakes | Ice Cream and Gelato

St. Marc Cafe

St. Marc Cafe

 
I've walked past this cafe several times before but this is my first time trying out the food here. It's one of those Japanese parfait cafes that make beautifully colourful parfaits, pastries and drinks.
Matcha Latte

Matcha Latte

 
A friend mentioned that she has been addicted to Matcha Latte recently and I was curious to find out what so good about it. The Matcha Latte you get here is quite different from the one you get at Starbucks. It's a lot creamier and the distinct bitterness of the Matcha is more pronounced. It is also less sweet which is great!
Chocoro

Chocoro

 
They have this pastry called the Chocoro. It's basically a croissant with various types of cream filling in them - from custard to chocolate and even red bean. The chocolate cream was rather rich and not as sweet, and it paired up really well with the Matcha Latte.

An Indulgent Lunch Smile Oct 30, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : English | European | Café | High Tea | Desserts and Cakes

I know TWG has been around for quite some time already but this is actually my first visit (actually, mainly because I'm more of a coffee person, really mad). But since I was running some errands at ION, I decided to check out this posh looking tea salon.
Lobster Timbale

Lobster Timbale

 
They do not have a very extensive food menu, so I decided to try the Lobster Timbale ($28) - a towering cylinder of juicy marinated lobster meat tossed with avocado and intricately served on a bed of spinach shoots, arranged to look like a blooming flower.

The unique selling point about the food at TWG is that it uses tea to enhance the flavours and compliment the food. For the Lobster Timbale, the vinaigrette is infused with TWG's Love Me Tea which is a fine green tea imbued with lime blossoms and verbena (a type of flower).

Not only was the lobster meat very fresh and chewy, the texture of the avocado complimented the dish very well too. There is not much flavouring added to it so you get full the natural goodness of the lobster meat.
White Secret Tea

White Secret Tea

 
Since I was already having lunch there, why not try some their teas too? So I asked one of their smartly dressed staff to recommend a white tea that would go well with my meal. He was very helpful and suggested that I try the White Secret Tea ($23.50) which comes in TWG's signature shiny golden teapot.
White Secret Tea

White Secret Tea

 
TWG's Secret White Tea consists of a blend of YinZhen White Tea (literally means 'Silver Needle White Tea') which originates from the Fujian province in China and is one of the highest grade of white teas available. One whiff of the tea is like a summer breeze across a meadow of flowers in bloom. It has a fruity note and even after a couple of sips, the refreshing taste of the tea still lingers on your palate. Nothing like I've every tried before and it's definitely worthy to be named as one of the "most prized teas" in China. =]
Strawberry Tart

Strawberry Tart

 
To end off my indulgent meal, I decided to order a freshly baked Strawberry Tart ($9.50). The sweet scent of strawberries accented by the fruity aroma of the Secret White Tea is simply a pairing made in heaven. Though the crust of the tart is not as crumbly as I would have liked it to be, the strawberries were definitely of good quality.

Overall, quality ingredients are definitely the main highlight of the food at TWG and having all your dishes infused with tea is an interestingly refreshing experience for your taste buds. My only gripe about the place is that the ambiance is too posh for my liking and can get a little suffocating and formal. But nonetheless, it was a great experience! lol

A Blast From The Past! Smile Oct 30, 2013

Categories : Café

You don't even need to step into this restaurant to be amazed by the amount of retrolicious artifacts that fill up the space. The cafe's front door handles are intricately designed with a mini silver trumpet on each side and stepping inside is like jumping into a time warp back into the 60s.
C.A.N. Cafe

C.A.N. Cafe

 
From vinyl records, music labels and instruments, to lamps, helmets and even a vintage hair steamer, you can tell from the shear number of collector's items that the owner of this restaurant is very passionate about his antiques. He also mentioned to us that a customer once tried to purchased his vintage hair steamer thinking it was up for sale, but no way would an antique collector sell away his prized collections.
Ice Lemon Tea

Ice Lemon Tea

 
I ordered myself an Ice Lemon Tea ($5.50) which comes in one of those mugs that look like a honey jar. Unlike other places which serve their lemon tea with slices of lemon inside, C.A.N. Cafe chooses to throw in a whole lemon instead - cut up into quarters. While the tea was saturated enough, I felt that the lemons could be mashed up more so all that lemony-goodness can be infused into the drink. lol
C.A.N. Beeflicious Burger

C.A.N. Beeflicious Burger

 
As for the C.A.N. Beeflicious Burger ($9.90) which comes with fries, the beef patty tasted very homemade but was also rather dry. I tasted some curry powder added into the patty to give it a nice and warm flavour. But but some odd reason, it was a little fibrous too (you can see some of the fibers sticking out if you look closely at the photo). Interestingly too, the veggies they used seem to be cooked before they added it into the burger, making the texture a little sloppy.

Overall, C.A.N. Cafe is a great place to kick back and slouch on one of their many comfy sofas. And did I mention that some people even come here to do their wedding shoots? Well, it's definitely a very unique cafe and whether you are into music, antiques or celebrities, I'm sure you'll be able to find something in here that catches your eye. lol
