Favorite Yoghurt Smile Mar 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Frozen Yogurt

I'm considered as a VVVVVVIP of Frolick because I go there so often, partially because my friend is one of the froyo girls, and of course because I love to eat Frolick. But I'm quite particular in eating Froyo and I only ate two 'brand' and Frolick is one of them. They have 1-1 every Tuesday and Thursday, it's a steal and I always pop by to see if anyone I know is working or meet my niece to have some chit chat session there.

 
I love their grape, strawberry and apple mix but definitely love their original the most. It's not too sour and does not melt very fast unlike some others, I was so glad that Frolick has a shop like this in Westmall because the rest doesn't really have lots of seats where you can chat with your friends like the one here.
It's a great place to chill and of course to chat w my friends when she isn't busy.
I have to say the most commonly sold topping is oreo, strawberry and fruity pebbles, either two is the best combination in the world, okay maybe too exaggerating but it's true! I always add strawberry and oreo for mine
What about yours?
(:

Hidden Gem in the West Smile Nov 11, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Ramen | Sushi/Sashimi

In Japanese, Fuku means Happiness while ya refers to House, and when directly translated Fukuya simply means Happiness House. This happiness house silently reside in Jurong Country Club. I would never had expected good food to be inside a Country Club since I stereotyped it as where the rich golfers will go until I personally tried the food there myself. It's like a hidden gems waiting to be discovered by food lovers.

Fukuya offers a wide variety of options for those craving authentic Japanese cuisine in utterly perfect presentation. The dishes served are photo-worthy as it's often decorated with flowers or edible garnishes on exquisite dining wares. Jap-food lover you just had to add this one in your 'to-eat-list'.

It's best to start off with Zensai, another term for Appetizer
Seafood Mayo on Fresh Salad - $10.80

 
Mixture of two types of seaweed, the green and brown one which I hardly see it in the market (probably just me), topped with my favourite seafood mayo~ The seaweed is really salty but crunchy if you tried eating it separately. However, once combined with the seafood mayo, you won't really feel that it's overpowering, instead it brings out an unique taste to the dish.

Dobin Mushi - $10.80

 
Teapot Soup
I had never tried something like this before, and it's quite a cool concept of having your soup served. It's sweet and refreshing. Ingredients looks simple, mainly consisted of mushrooms and oysters, but brought out the best of out it. Two ways to savour this, by adding the lime or skipping it. I tried both methods and preferred having my soup without lime.

Sashimi - $68.80

 
Fukuya Tokusen Platter (7 kinds)
Toro, Uni, Botan Ebi, Salmon Belly, Katsuo Tataki, Shima Aji and Tai
Not a fan of raw food, and my favourite food in a sushi bar is all the cooked food like crab-sticks, unagi and stuffs, but decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. All their sashimi are super fresh as it's all imported from Japan. It brings out the true definition of 'fresh saltwater' because you literally can taste it. It's worth every cent in your pocket, and everyone is all like I am going to come back to get this after they get their bonus.

Yakimono - $20.80

 
Gintara Mentaiyaki (All time favourite)
It's the store's all time favourite, and no doubt mine as well. Grilled fish with mentaiyaki on banana leaf. Their mentaiyaki is thick and creamy and the banana leaf underneath gave it a little burnt feeling which enhance the taste and smell even better like how food being cooked under charcoal flames.
Absolutely a must-try vote from me.

Fukuya Aburi Sushi Mori (5 kinds) - $28.80

 
Salmon, Anugu, Akami, Buri Belly, Unkun Uni & Ikura Topping
Everyone there was trying to convince me it wasn't spicy and stuffs, and I did finish all the sushi that are sadly all coated with wasabi except the unkun uni(sea urchin) one, by gulping water. I have to say that they are using authentic wasabi as it's not spicy and does not sting the eyes, it's just that the smell of wasabi that I disliked about. Nevertheless, the dish is much raved about and each sushi has its individual sauce and there is no need for soy sauce. I guess it's bad luck I couldn't enjoy this pretty much.

Menrui - $26.80

 
Fukuya Seafood Ramen (Small)
This bowl of awesomeness is called small, and I think it takes two to finished it. Now I cannot imagine how many could their 'big' portion feeds. Do not be fooled by the colour of the ramen, it's not spicy at all, and surprisingly it's sweet. Vegetables, seafood are all tossed inside to create this sweet yet rich flavouring pumpkin-taste-alike soup. As you can see, the ingredients are super fresh and generously spread around the chewy noodles.

Kyoho Ice Cream with Kuri Kanronni - $8.80

 
Japanese Grape Flavour with Boiled Chestnuts
As usual, something I have been waiting for since the start because I am a sucker for desserts and I love KYOHO GRAPES. The sweetness is just right for me and it is as smooth as Gelato, while the chestnut adds texture to the smooth ice-cream. It's a unique combination as I have never expected chestnuts to go well with grapes but it did.

I had a great yet different kind of experience there, and I believe you guys should try it too. It's always more difficult to find places with good food and good services. If you happened to be hanging around Singapore Science Centre or Jurong Country Club drop by and enjoy a feast of authentic Jap food.

Salmon Fillet OK Oct 06, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Pasta | Pizza


 
Started the lunch with Salmon, my favorite food. I order a medium done Grilled Fillet of Salmon with sun-dried tomato and pine nut sauce @ $21.80. It's actually fresh grilled salmon with salad and sauce. The fish is tender and one bite you know you are in for a treat. However the pine nut sauce is tard oily for my taste. I would prefer eating the fillet on its own. Its base is coated with  tomato sauce similar to spaghetti, absolutely tasty.

 

We chose the Profiteroles @ $8.20 - Choux pastry pastry puffs filled with Chantilly cream and topped with melted chocolate sauce

 

In short it tasted like gelato coated cream puff. My must order when I return. 

 
Located right upon the exit of Somerset, right away this restaurant in your view. It looked classy and a great place to hang out with your friends. Staffs are friendly ambience is good. I think it pretty much summarize what you will experience when you come here.

Vintage Tea Party Smile Mar 17, 2013

House: Vintage Tea Party
This place is definitely the place for tai tai wannabe like me.
House, located at Dempsey is a little bit isolated but who knows that actually all the good food are there, many different types of cuisine restaurant lies quietly in this remote place but luckily I had direct bus.
FYI Vintage Tea Party is only available on Thursday and Friday 3 pm to 5.30pm. For most of the time it will remain as a fine dining restaurant.

It was located quite inside and you have to walk down the steps to reach it, from outside it doesn't look very grand until you opened the door, you will understand why they named it a Vintage Tea Party.

It’s the exact place where you might picture olden princess holding some porcelain teapot and flask, and they really do have those. Decoration and accessories, everything seems so vintage, including their toilet as well. Service was good and place is clean having nice ambience to sit and chit chat with friends, dreaming about being taitai.

It’s really interesting to be in one of their vintage tea party, the crowd was alright, but I will urge to go down exactly at 3 pm because it’s mostly light food so you probably need a few rounds before you are done. Not to mention that the food there are really tasty.

For those who love dessert you’re in for a good treat because desserts take up more than half of its meal in this vintage tea party. Beside desserts, they also have some bread and pizza if you’re hungry.

 

 

 

 

 
My top favourite desserts would be the little desserts in the cup(Picture3), all 3 of them tasted superbly nice! Especially the one that looks like egg shell, it tasted like custard with a little sugar casing over it, absolutely awesome. Next would be the banana swiss roll that I took like more than 10? I regret not taking more though, Banana swiss roll is soft and spongey, rolled the fresh of banana, perfect combination. Cupcakes are considered average for me and quite commonly seen outside.

It’s quite funny that this vintage tea party has curry chicken but it's really nice, the tender chicken added lot of points for their curry. Their mushroom skinny pizza and squid ink pizza wasn't bad however the mushrooms are slightly salty but I like it when layered on top of the skinny pizza neutralizing the saltiness.

It would be much better if their variety get even more, like all kind of desserts all over the world, because there is only like 2 tables of desserts and 1 table for breads, another for cookies and biscuits but their food was really great, would totally bring friends to come again for some taitai's session! However this time, I'm just gonna grab all my favorite food because there is only like 2.5 hours for the buffet!

Do remember to reserve online though if going down for the tea party.
& If I remembered correctly, the price is less than $25 per pax

Astons Speciality Smile Mar 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Steaks and Grills

Astons is probably one of my favorite western dining place in Singapore. It serves yummy food at a very affordable price, without GST, it's nett regardless of amount spend. You probably spend less than $10 for food and plain water.
I like the ambience, not too noisy, allowing space for me and boyf to enjoy our dinner. However affordable food tends to me lot and lots of customers during peak hours. The queue goes crazy during that period and most people comes in group, so it's always long wait. If you have early dinner you probably get to your seats in a short while.

I always order black pepper fish, because it's tender and fresh. Along my two side would be pasta salad and mac & cheese. I swear mac & cheese is one of the best I've eating. If not for the calories I would order more but yeah, having two pasta with fish probably is the most satisfactory meal ever. Your wallet doesn't even feel much pain after eating unlike some restaurant where you can actually paid 2x more.
