Food fix



Complimentary warm toasted bread with lightly salted butter

I love how the bread is warm and soft, with the fusion of the lightly salted butter.
It's pretty amazing how this simple bread and butter can be awesome


Tuna steak with butter rice (about $15 or so)

I had high expectations of this dish, somehow as it was the first time I saw tuna steak on a menu. However, the first taste that triggered my taste buds, was the sourness of the steak, which I presume comes from an overdose of lemon juice. which makes me dislike this dish pretty much. And the butter rice is not really my cuppa tea. Too soft I must say

Verdict: I won't pick this dish again


Fresh prawns aglio olio (about $15 or so)

From the experience of my taste buds, the prawns are sauteered with peanut oil, which is kinda an interesting combination, something which I have had yet to try before that. I must say the spagetti is pretty tasty though a little too much oil was used in this aglio olio dish.

Verdict:  Something worthy to try

There are so many cafes/restaurants along Upper Thomson Road, and this little cosy French Restaurant caught my eye. This is the 2nd time I have tried it, and the previous times, Duck de confit went in my stomach. But the previous time I forgot to do a review. Oops. But I must say it was pretty good. Tasty crispy duck with awesome sauce. Definitely a reasonable price of $17+ or so for this french dish.

After dinner, le bf anf I loitered around Ang Mo Kio hub before going to Woodlands custom to pick my uncle up for dinner. Then after that, it was the 2nd round of food!


Barbeque chicken wings with chilli

THIS IS OMG *slurps*

I really like how the way the chicken wings was done. The taste is indescribable, but it is kinda one of the best chicken wings that I have tried so far.

And the taste is comparable to the yummy chicken wings from Chomp Chomp. It is a good deal for me since I don't have to travel all the way down to have my chicken wing crave fix

Verdict: Two will not be enough. But I can control




Steamed baby sotong

A dish le bf ordered for my uncle to go with the beer. The guys seemed pretty satisfied with this dish. But I didn't really enjoy it as the sauce is the same as those concocted for the steamed promfret fish done in the hongkong style

Verdict: Something interesting to try, if you have not tried it before. But I won't order it a 2nd time


Sambal Stingray

Slurps Slurps

A great dish for one who likes spicy stuff but don't want to be overwhelmed with the spicy factor.
There are many spicy dishes out there that exudes too much of the chilli that will spoil the taste.
I pretty like this dish as it is not very spicy, though if you eat a fair bit of it, your taste buds will start to sizzle up.

Verdict: Lets dig it!

oops, I don't have the exact address for it, but I will look out for it the next time I head down :D

Crayfish pasta from Bakerzin

Bakerzin Jurong Point.

yum yums. Love the crayfish pasta. I bought the groupon voucher for the deal, and I must say the crayfish is pretty fresh. There were 4 crayfishes with the tomato base spagetti.

Check out the hungry boyfriend attacking the spagetti in the background


Chocolate Amer

I love! Love the light texture of the cake and chocolate, and how it easily melts in your mouth.

My favourite, bakerzin cakes

Pig in a basket

Remember these adorable colorful pig in baskets?

I remember I used to see an abundance of them when I was young during mid-autumn festival.

But nowadays I seldom see them around. Lucky me spotted them along a random bakery at Ang Mo Kio. According to le bf, it is created from the leftover dough from the moon cakes.

I'm never a fan of those pig baskets, but they just bring back childhood memories (;

slurps



and thats le bf finishing up homecooked tom yam by yours truly.

I'm so lazy to cook them from scratch, so I used 2 stocks of knorr tom yam cubes, with a teaspoon of special tom yam paste from Bangkok and 2 bowls of water

I was too hungry to take a photo before eating, but I loved the fish (:

Marinated them with a tinge of salt, oil and corn flour.

corn flour is like magggiccc!

it smoothens and softens the fish and makes it more tasty

yums

A duck affair


Baby kailan with shallots
Very fragant. Love how the baby kailan wasn't overcooked (;
 

Deep fried golden prawns with salted egg
(An average dish only, not really my liking)

  


Stack of crispy duck skin with prawn crackers
omg, the crispy duck skin is really good.

It's totally the credits of the awesome duck sauce



Match it with a section of spring onion and cucumber


Wrap the delicious ingredients with a dab of duck sauce


and oomph. sink your teeth into it!
It's awesome <3


There was 50% sale on the Peking Duck dish on that day we went, and the left over duck meat was sliced to fry with ee mee. Nothing really fantastic but I love it when it is mixed with the minced spring onion ginger and light soya condiment.

OH its wayyy better

A backdated post on a simple short dinner gathering with my friends that I haven't seen for some time. Nothing beats time spent together (:
