Cold Rock @ Holland Village

Met our friend 'gorilla' for dinner on Friday and we had to wait for Momo to arrive from CBD at Holland V too. So we picked a place that has a long queue, because we know Momo might take some time.

It seems Sushi Tei has a long queue during peak hour, and so we were glad. (LOL.. are we mad?) Now comes the dilemma, it's so hot outside and we know the wait's going to be 30 minutes, where can we find a place that's nearby and has air-con? Cold Rock.


So both 'gorilla' and I had a Junior ice cream each.



The 'mixing' of the ice cream... (which makes our ice cream melts very quickly)



I had white chocolate and dark chocolate mixed with boyensberry.



'Gorilla' had banana with butterscotch with boyensberry (I think)



It was $4.95 + $1 topping. We saw that UOB card has a 10% off if you spend $10 or more.

Noodles stall @ NUS Science Canteen

Lunch after coming back from holidays has been familiar food.

Side track: Yesterday colleagues and I ate the Malay stall at the NUH Staff Canteen. (We noticed the food taste errrr... standard jatuh so much! We then look towards the stall. We notice none of the familiar faces selling the food's there now. Also, we noticed the menu on the board has been pasted with white paper. OK, not going back anymore.)

Today colleagues and I had lunch at the NUS Science Canteen. The stall owner's still the same. :-P

Two of us had the 'chan chan niang kuai' ('mix mix two dollars') noodles. This is it. A mixture of everything. It's always satisfying for people who wants to taste everything.



Two other colleagues had the 'Pai Ku Mian'. (Pork Rib noodles). They 'jia chai' (added extra vegetables) and this is their healthy looking noodles. $2.20



Familiar food always taste good. :-)

Goodness Gracious Me

I came back on Monday night and the first meal I had was Bak Chor Mee! haha... Dad, Mum, Sis had Kuay Teow Terng (Soup). Almost two weeks away, we really miss the food from home.

We ate at Basement 2 of Terminal 3, at the Kopitiam food court. There was posters like this stuck on the tables.



Something struck us. If you notice around the whole food court, 95% of people do not like to eat with trays! One of the reasons is that they smell and its usually wet and oily.

We thought we would return the trays to the return point after taking out our bowls of food. We happen to sit in the middle of the food court, walking around (about 20 steps), we could not spot the return point. It was only after when we were leaving and walked to the end that we notice the return points. Oh well...

So, do you clear your trays? We do at our workplace's canteens. They have multiple return points and usually the trays are dry and clean.

Sweet Indulgence @ Stanley Street

Ms iPhone and Ms Watchless wanted to meet up for dinner to catch up. We all ran out of places and delegated to Ms Watchless to find a place. She chanced upon this cosy place and thought we should all go try.




When we arrived, we were immediately served with bread and balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile giving us time to flip through the menu and looking at what we want. Ms Watchless really loved the bread!



We finally decided on a dish of appetizer first while waiting for Ms iPhone to come. This is called Spicy Bratwurst. It was quite spicy indeed.



When Ms iPhone finally appeared, we ordered. This is Ms Watchless's order of Beef Tenderloin Alio Olio.



Ms iPhone ordered Grilled Pork Rack. It was very tender.



I ordered the Braised Lamb Shanks.



Apologise for the grainy photos. Being a cosy place, lightening was not to its full potential for photography.

Tsuru Tsuru Tei @ Meidi-ya, Liang Court

Dino wanted to try a new restaurant at Liang Court. But it was packed, and they couldnt give a time when a table would be available. Hence, we wondered off to the basement and thought will try some of those little eateries outside Meidi-ya.

Chance upon this one selling udon and some other little items. Menu looks like that. We decided and walked to the cashier to order. The person at the cashier was also a Japanese :-)



Dino had the Maitake Udon aka Fluffy Fish ball with Maitaka Mushrooms. $10. The fish cake was firm and bouncy.



I had Kim Chi, Egg Udon. It looks like laksa! $10.




Here's how it looks when i took the udon to eat. Its even got tau pok! Just like laksa. hahaha.



And we also ordered a little cute eel rice. Simply called Mini steam eel rice. $1.80



Here's the address:

Golden Mile Food Centre on Beach Road

Its been a long time since i last came here to eat. Parking is a factor as sometimes even after waiting for 15-25 mins, i still dont get a lot! Decided to give it a try again.

Mum wanted to try the chiew kway that she saw. 5 pieces for $1.50. Chilli was good, but everything else was so-so. The rice cakes were too soft!



Dad normally has his prawn noodles from this stall. $4 - they give you everything, 3 prawns and spare ribs. I know the ribs were soft.



Parents also wanted to have the CKT that has no lard, no pork and lots of vegetables. Means no lup cheong! $4. Totally un-CKT.

Overall, so-so experience this time round. Hmm...not totally satisfied. Shall come back and try other stalls!

Strawberries and Peach Cake from Bangawan Solo

It was time for the office to celebrate the birthdays for the October babies! This time the organiser ordered from Bangawan Solo. When the cake came, i asked what's the name of this cake? She said, its simply strawberries and peaches cake. I went huh? That sounds self-explanatory. Then she showed me the cake, and indeed, it simply that. No frills on the naming of the cake, like some shops.

Here's the simply strawberries and peaches cake.




Show you the strawberries at the top, together with some pistachios.




And the almonds at the side.





We ordered a 2kg one, as there were 35 people in the office that day. It fed all of us with huge pieces per person.

Happy birthday to Ms Foo and Goonie!

Wang Cafe @ Suntec City Mall

My colleague likes to come to Wang Cafe to get her afternoon caffein fix. We termed this place as Wang Jiao. She almost always must have yuan yang xiu dia. We were here to get her usual fix, when we saw that there were introducing lotong. So we said, will come here the next day for lunch.

After you order, you will be given a order number. We happen to get number 7. This is for them to deliver your food.

She decided to have Mee Rebus, which she said was very nice, "nicer than the food court one"- was what she said.

I was wanted to try their lotong. So ordered that.

Both comes with an egg each. Mine was good, although their portion of the rice cake was not enough, only like 2 pieces. But they gave a lot of vege and curry.

Swiss German Sausage Bar @ Takashimaya

Keropok girl and i were wanting a quick dinner. We were on our way to exchange her newly bought toy, which spoilt 2 days after using.

We were spoilt for choices on which sausage to choose.




She finally decided on Chicken Garlic with Rosti - $9.50.



I had Smoked Pork with Rosti - $9.80



Both plates were accompanied with sour cream and some browny coloured, salty stuff, which we couldnt figure out what it was. We also thought the rosti were a little thin, not enough for the greedy me :P

Mei Cai Kuo Rou @ Amoy Street Food Centre

This is one of the fastest meal you can have ready on your table in 2 mins (if there is no queue) - Mei Cai Kou Rou. This is one of the stalls that i frequent every Tuesday /Thursday for the last few years.

I used to eat the mei cai with chicken. But ever since Keropok Man tried this (long time ago and always), and he seems to like it, have always ordered the mei cai with kou rou since. The auntie will also add some vegetables on top, hence making it a wholesome meal ;-)



Here's a closer view of the pork hidden below the vegetables.

Island Cafe @ Tangs Plaza

I had some points that were expiring from my Tangs card, but i didnt have anything to buy at CK Tang. So the next way to use up the points was to eat at Island cafe :-)



I usually wouldnt come here, unless i had spare points to use or needed shelter from rain. And today it was for both reasons that i came in here for lunch with Dino.

Dino was not very hungry, so she had Grilled Taupok -$7. Very crispy taupok with the tau kwa.



I had Indonesian Fried Rice-$13. There was 2 sticks of chicken satay as well, but sorry it got hidden. Chicken curry that came with this was really soft and melt in the mouth kind.



And i was still greedy and wanted to try the Asian Pork Salad-$11. The sio bak turns out to be really good! Crispy with lots of fat to chew on (i was chewing really slowly, as i just had my braces tighten the day before). The cumcumber that came with with it was really refreshing with the thai salad sauce.



Have a good week ahead!

Pizza de France

We have a committee in my department who organizes almost monthly makan sessions for the entire department. Purpose is for everyone to gather together for lunch, as we found that its tough for everyone in the department to sit together and mingle over meals. The department has 3 teams, and each team have different timelines to meet throughout the day (even over lunch times!) hence the difficulty to come together for lunch.

This time, the committee decided to order in pizza (nope, not from the one that has three 5s in the takaway number). The committee was also doing a movie screening!! Something quite different for lunch ;-)

Here's the web site of the pizza.



We ordered the "688 combo" that came with 3 large pizza, 10 pcs of Honey mid wing, 10 pcs of Spring roll, 10 pcs Shrimp rolls, wedges and 2 bottle of coke.

One of the pizzas was Sunshine Fantasy. We thought we would see the slices of boiled egg on top! But doesnt look like it



There was also BBQ Chicken. Not too salthy like some of the others. This was good!



The last was the usual Hawaniian Classic, which could taste the sweetness of the pineapples.



The finger food was something that everyone grab it first, We all asked, pizzas and spring rolls was not exactly a combination that we would mix. Hahaha.

Check out the web site: http://www.pizzadefrance.com/index.html if you want to try the other pizza flavours. 1 colleague had lots of praises for them.

Imperial Treasure @ Changi Airport Terminal 1

Sis and I are flying off to London to attend our younger sis' wedding. Our parents and aunt flew on Sunday. We are only flying off today.

Our flights delayed. Why waste time, when I can post something up here.

Porridge that sis and momo ate just a moment ago...
The porridge is not too bad according to sis and momo. I am planning to sleep on the plane straight away so I am not eating. ;-)





When you are hungry and want porridge, you can consider this. ;-p

Oh, if you order after 11 pm, you get it for half price.
But we had to pay full price because it's only 10.30pm when we ordered.

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao @ Holland Village

We celebrated our youngest colleague's birthday today during lunch time. We found out he is so young! Usually you do not ask people about their age for no reason, but since we are celebrating his birthday, we get to ask! (hehe...)

We wanted to have Laksa Steamboat initially. We saw from their website that there's a nearer branch at Holland Village, so we went there. We were dissapointed when we found out they have closed this branch! (Arrgh.. don't believe their website!).

We had a choice to either stay in Holland Village or drive to Telok Blangah. Everyone unanimously decided we shall eat in Holland Village. So we walk over to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao.



The starters were pickles. Chai Por chunks. Delicious! Everyone was happily eating until a colleague mentioned that eating too much of these causes pre-mature balding. Suddenly you see a few chopsticks back on the table. haha...



What we ate, in order of their appearance.
La Mian in Hot and Sour Soup. Like the tangy taste of it. You can choose the different thickness of noodles if you want.



This is the choking fiery La Mian. Be careful on your first mouth!
It was quite nice, but just be careful. :-p



Since we had like 9 of us, we had double portions of Jelly Fish. It's always a favourite.



This is delicious for those who like pork slices. I love the pungeant garlic on top of it. Wrapped inside the pork, cucumbers and carrots.



This is one plate of super tender beef.



We had two portions of this deep fried eel too.



When you are in a xiao long bao shop, you just got to order it! 3 steamers of it.



The other carbo we had for the carbo cravers. Delicious noodles with veg and meat.
(Forgot the name. hehe..)



This is roast chicken with onions. Those are onion bits on top. I like the onion topping more than the chicken.



For those with cholestorol problem, eat more 'black fungus'. The black fungus goes well with Kai Lan.



Last carbo for the meal, seafood fried rice.



As if it is tradition, we went over to Coffee Club for our muddy mudpies.

Happy Birthday Mr Y!

Rong Guang BBQ Seafood @ Ulu Pandan Road

This is another one of places to go where we know the food will turn out good. We had dinner here on Sunday with our parents.



One thing that we usually order here is the Stingray. We always have it 'half-half', meaning half of it spicy and the other non-spicy. Tonight's stingray was particularly meaty and soft. We liked it, especially the parts that had the sambal. ;-)



Sis loves this, so it's also something we usually order. Something that very messy to prepare at home. We also had herbal chicken, you can only see the foil in the background of this photo. We forgot to take a photo! haha...



The sizzling plate tofu. Very zhi-char food. Do you realize when ordering tofu, people usually order this?



Their pork chops are really tender.
We wondered for a while what they used to tenderize it, but decided, enjoy your food.



You can almost guess right? Half of the time, people eating Zhi Char orders 'Sambal Kangkong'.



We had a good dinner, enjoyed the food and the company as well.
But the initial waiting time might be long if you go during peak hours. Everyone seems to like to come here.

148 Curry Rice @ Bukit Timah Food Centre

Someone left a comment on this blog, sugggesting that I should try the Curry Rice at this food centre. I finally did, last Sunday.

There sure was a long queue. The queue was fast moving, so that's good.



I had 2 vegetables, 1 mushroom and one curry chicken wing. I think it was $3.
As it was 'Curry Rice', a generous amount of curry was poured over it.
The vegetables were nicely cooked, chicken curry was almost 'melt in your mouth' because it was so soft. It was tasty, but a bit messy. LOL...



Do you realize that there are people around you that will never order 'mix rice'? It is not that they do not like to eat them, but it clashes with their personality! I know of a few people who is like this.

They take a look at it, think that it is so messy, and just could not stand it. The only way they can have mix rice is to request that they have the food separated into individual plates. It will then look neat and proper.

Just wondering.. How many of you are like that too?

I am one who likes this mess, I can scoop up a spoonful of rice and taste all kinds of flavours in it. Doesn't it gives you satisfaction? haha...

Dpuk, our colleague at work gave all of us a box of gift to proclaim his son's one month old today. Congratulations!

Many people have heard the Singapore government's call to produce more babies eh? ;-)

Today's box gets more traditional and I think I like it this way.



Elijah is such a nice name too. The baby's middle name Aslan is because his dad loves the character from Narnia ;-)



Wonder what's inside? Ang Ku Kueh, that's in the shape of red ingots. There were two red eggs inside. I was hungry, saw the eggs and I peeled the eggs and ate it then I remembered, oh! I forgot to 'document' it down.



Well, there is another colleague whose box of red stuff is still untouched.



What's inside the red ingots?
Half of them had peanuts filling.



The other half had bean paste. I like the peanut version of it.



If you want to read more about this tradition, hop over to fellow food blogger AromaCookery's post some time ago about Man Yue.

Romankan Yokohama @ Takashimaya Basement

It's Takashimaya's card member add an extra 15% off sale. Sis and Momo are stocking up their L'occitane moisturizers etc. (It's the only time you get their stuff for 15% off)

Sidetrack...
Our younger sis is getting married in the UK. We will be attending her wedding there next week. So we asked her what she wants as a gift from her big bro and big sis. She said a memory foam pillow. A pillow? You want us to bring a pillow all the way from Singapore to London? Here's the funny reason. Her future in laws got their son (her future husband) one memory foam pillow, but did not her one. She was a bit jealous that they did not get it for her. LOL...

So, don't worry sis, your ever doting big bro and sis here got you a better pillow. Yours is an original Tempur instead.

For the rest reading this, if you want a Tempur, now's the best time to get it from Taka. The Queen size L size pillow is usually $299. But they are having a $50 off promo, which makes it $249. If you are a taka card holder, you get 15% off the price at the payment counter. (Plus, if you are a Taka Platinum card holder, you get another 6% off in terms of rebates) So you get around $80 plus off these 4 days.

Anyway, back to food. We are busy shopping, walking around gets you hungry. We headed to the basement to look for a quick bite. We saw empty seats at Romankan Yokohama at Basement 2. With the maddening crowds, we just took the empty table.



Sis had the Rosu Katsu that comes in a pan. $15



Momo also had the Rosu Katsu, but off the pan. LOL $13



I had the chicken katsu. $11.50



They were all served like this.



Sis was not particularly impressed with it. I remember it to be better too the last time I was here. Maybe it's not the cook's day? Too busy because of the big traffic flow these few days during the sale?

The katsu were all nicely deep fried, moist inside, crispy outside. But it just had something missing and we could not figure out what. Anyway, we were too preoccupied with shopping.

It came in nice little box, very cute too!



Inside the box, red eggs! I have not seen red eggs for some time now. We have always been getting Bengawan Solo vouchers (*yawn - boring*).

This is so much more interesting.



Oh just look how cute the baby is!

Special Shanghai Tim-Sum @ Margaret Drive

When you make a trip to Margaret Drive, you got to try the Popiah and the Guo Tie.
One colleague ordered some Guo Tie for us, while another ordered 2 popiahs.



Here's the Guo Tie, 8 pieces for $4.
(Think it was 10 pieces for $4 previously)



It's nice and crispy. You should try it too if you are around.




Since I took the photo, here's the popiah. It's from the ground floor. Colleague said that the skin's made by the son upstairs. ;-)

Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice @ Margaret Drive

A colleague drove us out for a quick lunch yesterday. Our destination was the Margaret Drive Food Centre.

What did we have? The famous Chicken Rice of course! It's on the upper floor of the food centre. Though there's not many stalls on this level, but that does not mean the place is empty. The tables are all occupied with chicken rice lovers.

(I was sitting a bit far and was too lazy to walk nearer to take a proper photo of the stall)
If you notice that there's only 1 chicken hanging there, it always is. When you order, they will bring out the chicken from a container. :-)



Our chicken... the big plump juicy chicken with sesame oil and light soy.
(It makes me wonder how the Poulet de Bresse will taste like)



And our rice....



Portions of chicken for 3 with 3 plates of rice, $13.

Laksa Steamboat Seafood Restaurant @ Telok Blangah Road

Last Friday night, Momo, Sis and I met up with friends from Melbourne. One of them was my sister's housemate long long ago in Melbourne.

The girls had wanted to try this Laksa Steamboat place for a long time, and decided it would be a great time to try it out.

If you have eaten the San Katong Laksa in Holland Village or the Nasi Lemak, this is their sister restaurant.

The place is quite pack and busy! There must be lots of laksa lovers out there!



It's an a-la-carte style steamboat. You are given this menu and a piece of printed order chit and you tick what you want. There's not like a big huge selection, but it's good enough to give you a good varieties.



We chose the "2 in 1" pot and had the "laksa" soup and the "we think it's ikan bilis or maybe it's chicken" soup.



The photos of the first round that we had. Price are quite reasonable. Around $3-$10 per plate depending on what it's seafood, meat, vegetables.



The above is from one side of the table. This is on the other side of the table. (The soup pot's in the middle)



Now... it's cooking and eating time.

We slided everything gently into both soups. The left side looks like laksa now right?
We started with the laksa half. It was like eating countless bowls of laksa with ingredients only!



Now what's laksa with 'hum' (cockles). Scoop it up and gently boil them in the laksa soup. Yumz!



Our soup was topped up quite frequently without us asking. We were a bit too ambitious with the laksa. It was like 3 or 4 bowls of Laksa soup and you get really satiated. (super jelak) haha....

Here's one of photo of the many 'rounds' we had.



This place is for laksa lovers. The stock gets thicker and thicker and more delicious. We paid around $98 plus relevant taxes for 5 people. We had 31 plates of food according to the receipt.

Uno Beef House @ Dover MC

It has been almost 10 months since we came here. This online food diary enables colleagues and I to check when was the last time we ate something. LOL..

So last Friday, we came here to lunch. Uno Beef House at the Dover Multistorey carpark.
This is one place that opens at exactly 12 noon. The shutters will only be lifted up when the clock strikes 12.

While waiting for 5 minutes, we saw partially the menu on the signboard. Some had decided on the rib eye, others fish and chips, etc...

But when the shutters were opened, we saw that they had fried rice with many other stuff. We all changed our minds and 4 of us ordered the following:

Two of us had the fried rice with sunny side up and chicken chop.



The other two had fried rice, sunny side up and fried chicken cutlet.



It was quite a filling meal. The rice's a lot and the pieces of meat was of decent size too.
Around $4.50/$5 for a big hearty meal. Since we were the first few customers, our waiting time was like 5 mins or so after they opened.

Korean Campbell Early Hwaseong Grapes @ home

Earlier today we bought some fruits, red flesh dragon fruits and we thought we would some Korean grapes since we are cooking some korean style meals tonight.

These were bought from Fairprice at $5.50 (it's on sale so it's $5.20)



Sis put one in her mouth and immediately she 'pui' it out. LOL
These grapes taste a bit like 'wine' or 'gummy bears that has alcohol'. Acquired taste.

Our brother likes it though. For myself, it's ok, definitely different from the usual grapes. Not something I will crave for even though it's expensive. Maybe we are not wine drinkers, except once a month on a tiny glass on Sundays ;-)



They are quite firm outside. These are not seedless though. The skin comes off so so easily. All you need to do it to press one end, and the grapes will come out the other end so effortlessly. Dig out the seeds and enjoy.

You can eat the skin if you want vitamins that comes with it. Bro ate the skin. I did not. I did not like the fibrous skin texture.

Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai @ Liang Court

Last weekend, Momo, Sis and I, we thought we will just go to Liang Court and see what we can eat. We looked around and ended up at Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai. Remembered that Camemberu blogged something about the other branch at Tanglin Mall.




When you are seated, you are given 3 pieces of menu, and everything's combo meals. To make things easy, we just took Combo sets 1, 2, 3! LOL...

I had the Saba-miso stew combo. $15
Chub mackerel stew with soy bean paste. Fish was a tiny bit fishy, but I like fish so it's OK for me. (but not for sis and momo LOL)



This is one of the side dish, kelp with meat, and the Okinawan donut.



The full combo set. Plain rice, soup and pickles.



Sis had the Pork-Ginger Combo. $15
Pork cooked in soy sauce with ginger. Just replace the mackerel with the pork and it's the same as the set above. Sis liked her order.



Momo had the Hamburg-Steak combo. $18
Beef burger with Japanese sauce. Look quite nice ya.



This is her combo, aerial view. LOL



After the meal, it was time for the donut. We finally turned it over when everyone finished their meal and this is it. How does it taste like? It taste like cakes that we eat growing up. A bit like baby biscuits!! :-)

Jolly V Fried Chicken @ Lau Pa Sat

We were celebrating a friend's birthday earlier at Lau Pa Sat after our Bible Study. We had the usual satay and chicken wings, chai tow kueh, or jien etc...

The chicken wing was horrible. It looks so so carcinogenic. (i.e. super chao tar/ burnt) After scraping off the burnt parts, putting it in our mouth, it tasted so bland inside. We decided, the chicken wings stall is slowly deteriorating beyond description. 10 over of us on the table agreed. We need to look for alternatives to chicken wings in lau pa sat. By the way, there's only one stall selling the honey chicken wings, it's a monopoly that's why they are becoming complacent!!!

Momo and I read about this new Filipino Fried Chicken around. Oh, it's time to go try it! It has all set meals on the menu, but we just wanted chicken to share around. We asked if they sell only chicken pieces. Yes, they do. $2.50 per piece and it will take 15 minutes to prepare. Sure. We ordered, paid and waited.



The chicken comes with this sauce. It taste like the mash potato sauce. If you are a fan of brown sauce, you will like it. No, then skip it.



The few of us thought that the chicken was worth the wait. Hot freshly fried chicken. Crispy outside, juicy inside. The batter was a bit salty, so it was quite appetising. Compared to the wings earlier, this was so much better. They are ok size too.



We ordered 5 pieces. They fried 4 first and had to wait for another one in another deep fryer. So while waiting for the last piece, I took these photos ;-)

Another place to have fried chicken if you want something from the regular 'cooked with 11 herbs and spices brand'. ;-)

Smile & Selamat Hari Raya

Smile. That's what is says when the mocha I ordered for my sis arrived.



It's actually a McCafe mocha if you are wondering.


To all my muslim readers, a very Blessed Hari Raya.
