seorae @ tampines mall

 Korean BBQ + steamboat ! Actually it's my first time eating this... And still not so bad, don't smell bbq when I leave the place

Portions for 3.. though doesn't seems alot but it's more than enough.. feels is abit too meaty

Samgyeobsal pork khochi skewers platter @ $22.90++
A platter of 5 different skewers, 3 pcs each - mushroom, bacon w cheese, bacon w mushroom, bacon w kimchi, sausage

Garlic dakagalbi @ $17.90++
Marinated chicken with chopped garlic... The funny thing is when your bbq ing, more than half of the chopped garlic dropped into the charcoal through the net 😅
But this is quite nice

Budae jjigae @ $38.90++
Steamboat pot with a variety of food including a portion of instant noodle, luncheon meat, toufu, Korean rice cake, meat

Like the egg at the side of the BBQ.. looks like steam egg but let it sit longer and it's good!

Overall it's quite nice but abit overall meaty even though there's a counter with free flow of kimchi, lettuce, kimchi cucumbers, macaroni salad

Jap

Took the midnight flight @130am SQ flight to Kansai airport (Osaka), flight journey abt 6.5hrs

Quite a bit of declaration to do, and it's crowded, long q for our luggage collection

Bought WiFi router from klook, and can collect it conveniently at the airport

As we will be heading to USJ tmr, stayed at a hotel near USJ
la’gent hotel osaka bay, abt 5 mins walk from sakurajima station
There's 7-11 and Lawson just nearby
Seems to be quite strict, check in only at 3pm but can leave our luggage there

Head to Nara Park which is just short walk from kintetsu nara station
Just outside the station is higashimuki shopping street, a sheltered street with shops and restaurants

Went to this mochi shop, long q! Was so good the last time we came.. but today is abit disappointed..
It's harder, like normal mochi... Maybe cos it's alr late... It's alr made and packed
10pcs for 1500yen

Filling is red bean

Nara park! Was expecting lots of deers, but sadly there's so little left... Less than 10? Not sure it's the weather or the population decreased.. though they still will follow you for food but are less aggressive

Early dinner at this Japanese restaurant, with very very friendly staff.. can tell that they are happy working there too!

Mostly

little Vietnam

We are back again for Vietnamese food after so long... But menu has changed... My favourite rice vermicelli  with grilled lemongrass chicken is gone......
No more lemongrass in the menu

So I chose something close.. BUN THIT NUONG seasoned grill pork chop with vermicelli @ $8
lots of veg and chopped peanuts... Adding the sauce is a must! abit of sweet, sourry, spicy.. more of spicy today

HU TIEU XAO HAISAN (stir fry seafood and pork tapioca noodle and vegetables) @ $8.50
Portion is small but it's quite special... Taste quite good but slightly more salty
Noodle is very chewy and nice

Portion is not very large but value for money
No GST or service charge
Shop is rather small with open space sitting.. and they had expanded to another shop space... Yes more sitting space available 😁

Hub's little craving for western food.. so we are here back in Kovan branch... Remember having the same at punggol waterway point and it's not as nice

Grilled pepper chicken @ $10.90++, topped another $5++ for BBQ chicken
Soft and tender chicken.. double the chicken, feels too much to eat.. served with 2 sides.. here we've got hot veggies and fries

Fish and chips @ $11.50++
Served hot and crispy... See the smoke as you cut
Portion is big too! Served with 2 sides.. here we've got fries and coleslaw

Worth trying.. nice food but need to wait for quite awhile though it's not fully packed

#westernfood #chicken #grilledchicken #bbqchicken #fishandchips

Buddy hoagies @ kovan

I must say the food at Kovan branch is much better than the one at Punggol!

grilled pepper chicken @ $10.90 and topped $5 for BBQ chicken
Comes with 2 sides, a few to choose from and here we have fries and hot veg

Fish and chips @ $11.50
Also 2 sides and here fries and coleslaw

Tuesday, November 15, 2022

had a brochure from door step.. newly renovated food court at hougang mall having promo for quite a few stalls
It's so crowded... Even when it's alr 145pm
The whole place is so greeny... Seems like a trend now... Restaurants also have this greeny theme

Buy 1 Hokkaido miso ramen @ $12.80 and get a tonkutsu ramen for free.. 
Or don options available too

Our impression of miso is not as nice as tonkutsu but turns out the miso is good!!!
So much more ingredients.. char siew, bamboo shoots, cabbage, minced meat
Soup is not just miso only but seems like pork broth

Tonkutsu is just 2 piece of char siew.. taste is quite normal.. nothing special

800 degree

crave for pizza again.... And there we are at new pizza place
They have pizzas, pasta, chicken, sandwich, cakes as dessert and even waffle ice cream
The whole stretch of seats are available though it looks like it belongs to another shop but under the same roof

Few choices to choose from and we had
10inch BBQ chicken @ $
Like the crust.. it's crispy and abit chewy.. but don't leave it for too long cos it harden when we were having our last piece
Chicken is a bit hard but overall is ok

Combo
A quarter chicken with 1 side and 1 sauce
Also afew to choose from and we chose mashed potato and ranch truffle
Chicken is well roasted and tender
Mashed potato feels unseasoned, unlike those we usually eat.. it's quite nice!

JB

Left early in the morning, board on the CityLink bus from Kranji MRT
Cash $2.60
Card (ezlink, nets flashpay, visa) $2

Road and custom clearance is quite smooth, reached JB by 9am

Went to this shop Ah Ma kueh, saw good reviews for it and here we are for breakfast. It's abt 15mins walk from custom (walking past city square)
So many to choose from and only the 2 of us, we can't have everything...

Yam kueh @ RM 7
Nicely steamed, can really eat the yam pieces inside and i like the loads of fried onion toppings


Teochew rice kueh @ RM 3.50
Not as nice as expected... Not hot, and it's quite hard.. not much filling too, seems like only rice
Skin abit thick and chewy, at least not soggy

Curry puff 2 pcs @ RM 5
Very crispy crust, this is nice! Potato with indian spices curry filling
But quite filling after eating half of it

Ah Ma signature coffee @ RM 5.50
Thick coffee ☕, strong coffee smell

Golden bun orh nee @ RM 8.90
Nice and crispy texture, thin bread and yam at the inside.. like it not sweet and the crispiness of the "skin"


Food here are not heavy taste, feels very natural and at room temperature where you can eat immediately, do prefer it to be hotter




Friday, September 23, 2022

An unique dining experience, by the pool side.. very cooling and you are actually not very close to the next table like most restaurant do
But have to be planned on non rainy days

Grills are available from 4pm, only dons in the afternoon

Unagi @ $22++
Do not have the fishy smell, nicely seasoned with homemade unagi sauce served with wasabi
The wasabi is not as "hot" as it normally is

Black tiger prawns 5 pcs @ $25++
There's salted or garlic butter options available.. we chose garlic butter
large and fresh prawns, perfectly grilled
1 piece option available @ $6.50++ but 1 is never enough!

Teriyaki salmon don @ $15++
It's unexpectedly small bowl of Japanese rice 🍚 topped with salmon and teriyaki sauce
This is quite normal... Nothing really special compared to other Japanese restaurant

Salmon belly w yakitori sauce @ $14++
There's also salted option available.. but we chose this
The fats of the belly are not present on all of them... Feels like some are not belly but close to belly.. suitable for my mum.. hehe she always complain belly is too oily!

Truffle fries @ $12++
It's so good!! Hot and crispy and the truffle is so strong!! Yes so good that we ordered another serving

Chicken shoyu pasta @ $16++
Always have shoyu in ramen but in pasta, this is the first time... 
Something special but it's kind of a mismatch.. haha still feels tt shoyu goes better with ramen but this is something different.. should give it a try at least once

Kurobuta pork belly w homemade teriyaki sauce @ $12++
This was recommended by the staff... And so we gave it a try! It's really good!!!! Soft and tender.. and the important thing is it does not have the meat smell 👍🏼👍🏼 definitely must try!

Sweet potato @ $6++
This is also recommended by the staff, sweet potatoes are imported from a place in Japan that only they serves.. yup, said to have an agreement from the farmer that can sell to Guriru in Singapore.. so only get to eat it here when you're in Singapore. It's also not seasonal, so you don't get to eat it all year round!
I'm not a sweet potato person and I like it!

Time for some desserts!
Hokkaido cheese cake @ $9++
Looks like the crepe cake that can be found at Charterise but this better! Thick layers of cream, cold and it's so nice!

Sesame cream stuffed mochi @ $9++
Looks small and doesn't look appealing but it's good! So much better than we expected it to be.. also cold dessert, chewy mochi coated with sesame and the thick cream at the inside.. so good that we ordered for takeaway

Chocolate cream stuffed mochi @ $9++
Since we're ordering the sesame one, also gotten the chocolate cream one... It's coated with tiramisu powder and the filling inside is chocolate, not as creamy as sesame.. sesame is more special

A





Don't know what to eat alr.. so walk ard see see look look

And here we are..
They serves quite a variety.. pizza, pasta, sides, burgers, grills and variety of drinks too

We had
Garlic bread @ $9.90++
Abit disappointing.. it looks sooo nice! But turns out it's soft.. was expecting it to be crispy...

Salmon with mashed potato and salad 🥗 @ $23.90++
The salmon is nice! Very well seasoned and the skin is so nice too! Slightly more salty, but it won't be nice if it's not
Comes with brown sauce mixed with black pepper
Mashed potato is abit butter and not too wet, nice!

Hawaiian pizza 🍕 @ $23++
12inch and it's big!
Super thin crust, and feel it's under toasted.. both the crust and the ingredients

These are too much for 2... We only had a slice of pizza each and finished the rest 

Overall, feels abit overpriced.. and the food is so so... Only the salmon is nice but at a high cost

Claypot valley

Got quite a few recommendations for the claypot rice so here we are.. it's by a chef previously from Jumbo Group... So the seafood is a must try

We had
Seafood claypot pao fan @ $9.90++
A thumbs up for no msg!!! Yes the soup is so "seafoody" feels like steamboat soup
There's seafood, and rice

Signature spinach iberico pork claypot rice @ $9.90++
I prefer this... Like the "charcoaled" rice and the taste is good! Not too salty..
Portion is not very big, just nice for me.. there's a 2 pax portion too.. same pot size but will filled full

Tamago-en


First time trying this... Got recommendation from my sis that the donburi is nice
And there's always q during peak hours

Okoya Don @ $13.90++
The bowl looks big!! But it's actually very shallow.. looking good, rice with sauce makes it not very dry.. sauce has kind of herb? 
Salmon steak omu @ $16.50++
Salmon skin is crispy, and salmon seems to be unseasoned.. tt explains the sauce
The rice is special! Kind of butter ride but not like the typical butter rice and there's mushroom! Egg is not very cooked, unlike those in food court

Pasta loft








We are back for more pasta cos it was so good when we have it the 1st time

Prawn aglio olio @ $9.90
Shrooms aglio olio @ $8.90

The pasta today is not as good as the previous.. today's seems to be slightly more cooked but still good!
Don't look oily but the taste is there 👍🏼

Alr tried pizza 🍕 previously, try something else today
Papraka mid wings @ $9
5 mid wings, the skin are sooo crispy and sooo nice, very well seasoned but thirsty an hr or two later... Got the msg feel... So disappointed though so nice

Will definitely come back for more pastas! For mid wings, is it worth the "unhealthy msg"? 🤔

yong he

So near to the rosti place which we had earlier... They are known for their bean curd but it's sold out alr
So we have something close - soya bean milk

Soya bean milk @ $1.80 is normal, nothing special
Also had this carrot cake w egg @ $4.. this is very different from the normal carrot cake... Feels like those prawn/peanut pancake skin, stuffed with turnips and coated with a layer of fried egg at the top.. I shall give this a new name 'turnip pancake'
The skin is crispy but also very oily.. don't really like this.. prefer the traditional carrot cake

#soyabean #soyabeanmilk #turnippancake 

SPUDS SHACK geylang road

Rosti again.. hehe saw this on social media... Looking good, but it's average, won't purposely travel here for it
A stall in a small coffee shop with a few other food stalls
Rosti is abit small and not crispy.. seems undercooked
But can get to choose toppings (powder)
garlic pepper @ $6
Not much of garlic, but very black peppery, in fact find it too peppery
cajun seaweed @ $6
It's more salty compared to the other and we prefer this..

heres the menu
The rosti are better with the powder than just by itself, comes with fried egg by default
Not really filling for a meal..

Lunch on a PH, half of the hawker centre is closed... And it's not crowded.. can get seats easily
Not much choices, tried this ban mian stall

Red wine chicken mee sua @ $5
Don't like the soup... Not my type but my hub like it... 🤔
Mee sua abit soft.. hehe Mee sua soup is not my thing.. to me it's a food to eat when feeling sick 😅😅

Fried fish ban mian @ $4
Soup is quite nice, ban mian also ok, overall ok.. but portion is quite big!

Banh mi Saigon amk

Vietnamese baguette
Located at a HDB shop house opposite NYP
Very accessable via bicycle, PCN connecting amk or yck all the way to punggol

The baguette is quite big, very crispy sandwiching generous amount of meat and veggies (carrots 🥕, spring onions, coriander leaf), special sauce
And there's chilli with seeds! Be sure to take out cos it's spicy

We tried
BBQ pork @ $8.90
It's abit too salty but still nice, it's soft and boneless

Roasted pork @ $9.90
Feels like eating roasted pork rice without rice.. 😅 but my hub likes it! Not so for me... Don't like the thick layer of fats
Skin is crispy, soft and boneless

The baguette is so nice, think I can just have the baguette by itself

Shophouse, mostly for takeaways

Ha Jun korean

Korean food
First time I see Korean porridge so we tried

Shredded chicken porridge @ $5.80
Japanese rice with a mix of brown rice.. taste is nice, hot hot and the "creamy" porridge

Bibimbap @ $6
Feels like it's rice then topped with ingredients... Not hot... Not as I expected
Enough sauce to cover the whole bowl of rice and it's not very spicy
Should be able to get better ones easily

Pasta loft

Passed by this shop quite a few times but nv try before... Saw this on social media, so here we are!

Surprising, the food is really nice, especially the pasta

Prawn aglio olio @ $9.90
This is very nice!! 😍 Looks abit dry but the taste is there
Spaghetti is also perfectly cooked.  Not too soft nor too hard

Trio mushroom @ $13
It's for a pax portion.. super super thin crust... Really like no "bread" kind... Feels like eating biscuit 😅
Not something will want to come back for...

Al funghi @ $8.90
After trying the prawn aglio olio, we ordered another pasta but this is not as nice... It's cream based, and maybe is the type of pasta, fusili.. feels overcooked

co Chung

Another foodie place spotted on social media..
It's a very loud place cos of the pubs opposite

Food is nice, and the shop is very nicely decorated
Most of the items on the menu looks good

We are comparing with Little Vietnam where we always go for Viet food.... The portion here is much lesser with a bigger price tag

Here's what we have
Bun Cha Hanoi Bun @ $12.80++
Like the sauce, but don't like the pork.. feel that got the meat smell.. hub likes it though

Vermicelli with grilled pork and crispy spring roll @ $11.80++
Portion is small... Especially the meat and veg, it's like half.. but there's a spring roll..
The grill is not as strong but still quite nice

Overall still prefer Little Vietnam.. bigger portion and better price too food wise, prefer Little Vietnam too 🤭
But my hub likes this... Yes he think that the meat here is better though.. but when price comes to the pic, Little Vietnam still gets the vote.. not really tt good that it's worth the extra cost

hai yang dao serangoon Central

Malaysia food! My hub saw this at social media and since it's quite near, we are here to try!

It's crowded and quite a wide variety to choose from
It's quite similar to Penang Culture we had previously... 

The curry noodle is their signature, I see quite a lot of ppl getting this

And we tried this
Big bowl curry noodle @ $9.90
Really big bowl with yong dao foo, prawns, eggs
Curry sauce is not very spicy, but seems to have bit of MSG
The yong dao foo is nice! Noodle is okok

Penang fried kway tiao @ $6.80
Portion is not very big but filling enough
Reminds me of pad-thai 😁 I still prefer pad-thai hehe
 quite a fair bit of prawns and Chinese sausage

thought Overallof trying the dessert cos it looks nice in the menu but didn't see anyone eating it 🤔

 still not bad, shall try other dishes the next time..
My hub won't come back if it's far... But will come back again not anytime soon cos it's near

Saizeriya

Quite a decent priced Italian restaurant to dine-in, prices are not as high as those typical restaurant
Black pepper chicken @ $6.90
Quite normal average.. don't have too much expectation
Spinach chicken gratin @ $5.90
Like the sauce which is made of milk, not very cheesey
Portion is quite small
Garlic focaccia @ $2.20
Our must have.. not filling but like the light garlicy and salty taste

Shanghai family

wanted to have some Vietnam food at Little Vietnam, but was temporary closed so looking around nearby, tried the

hong sao pork rice 红烧大排饭 $7 
Not my type.. don't really like the meat cos got meaty smell.. but my hub likes it! Yaa if you are a meat person, you will like this

cong you ban mian 葱油拌面 $4
This is nice!! I like! Though it's abit oily but there's the onion fragrance.. no other sides, just purely noodles!

cong you bing 葱油饼 $4
This is nice too! Hot and crispy.. of cos the one at Taiwan night market is better!😅 Can be done at home too.. get those frozen ones... But can't be compared to Taiwan's

It's nice, will come back again.. but you're actually allowed to smoke and it's air-conditioned 😟

In the end here's what we've got..
Cava Burger 🍔 @ $17++
Crispy chicken thigh with cheesy cheddar cheese 🧀, grilled pineapple 🍍, wild mushroom 🍄 sandwiched between 2 bread bun
Bread bun is crispy too! Served with parmesan fries 🍟
Just sooo nice!!!

Fish 🐟 Business @ $20++
Pan seared salmon 🐟 with grilled veggies and tomato 🍅 quinoa
Salmon is seared to perfection with the veggies.. everything seems to be so perfect.. quinoa is ok but I still prefer soup spoon's quinoa hehe maybe cos it's basil

It's a very nice place to dine and catch up.. both indoors and outdoors (still sheltered but no air con and can bring furry friends along!) There's also a small indoor garden! 🌱🌱
I'm definitely coming back again for more.. 😍

Here's the menu

spaghetti aglio olio @ $16++
noodle is chewy with seafood, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes 🍅
Taste not bad but quite common while portion is normal but quite generous in the ingredients.. quite worth the price
Pizza Pollo @ $22++
mozzarella, tomato sauce, pesto chicken, bell peppers and onions

WANTON MEE, LAKSA, CARROT CAKE @ sembawang hill food centre

wanted to brunch at a cafe CAVA, but to our surprise it's fully reserved till 130-2pm... And we were there abt 1130pm the cafe looks cosy with indoor and "outdoor" sittings where you can bring your pets too!

not far away is a small hawker centre.. not very crowded though it's lunch time
nearby are private estates... tt explains.. we go for stalls that have q..
wanton mee @ $3.50
I see alot of ppl ordering their fried meat ball too! Shall try it next time

laksa @ $4
it's from a different stall, exactly behind the noodle stall
Read online that they don't use coconut.. and yes really doesn't have coconut taste.. Portion is rather small.. Taste is okok, not tt will come again for it

fried carrot cake @ $3
ok this is black carrot cake... Looks like white hor.. but surprising it's nice and special! It's so soft tt it kinds of melts in the mouth... 🤤 Definitely coming back for this

📍 590 Upper Thomson Road Singapore 574419
based on the map, it's near the Lower Pierce Reservoir.. can come for meals after 🚲 🚲

A long 4hrs walk at macritchie.... the last time I'm here is nearly 20 years ago, cross country run...
So beyond my expectation.. always thought tt the trails are easy to walk but there's slopes up and down, stairs up and down..... Stoney path, rockey path, muddy path, woody path and easy path get them all here


























Was quite crowded on a ph but the walking is not affected just tt you can hear ppl's conversations hahaha

Mostly are forest walk, surrounded by trees, and there and monkeys 🐒 around... Be sure not to have any food on hand.. cos they really come to you!! 😅

The aim is to reach the "tree top" and there's this bridge to walk, abit shakey, and there's no turn back allowed.. not very deep down, and all  are trees view throughout

#hikingtrail #hiking #macritchiereservoir #macritchie #macritchienaturetrail #macritchietreetopwalk #macritchiehike #nature #naturewalk



After the long walk, ended up at Windsor park, exiting the nature trail to Venus drive carpark...

2 bus stops to Thomson Plaza.. first time at Thomson Plaza, some shops that don't see at other shopping malls


Tried this Japanese restaurant, Ikura

Believe they are more for sashimi.. was there abt 230 and we are the only customers


Tonkutsu ramen @ $12.80++

There's salty veg which makes the soup salty.. soup base is not very thick too

Noodle is slightly overcooked and portion is not alot 

Char siew is not tt good too


Pork cutlet donburi @ $13.80

Quite alot of rice, like it topped with seaweed.. portion for pork cutlet is quite alot too

But taste wise don't think it's good...

Rice is very dry, no sauce cutlet is soggy...


Quite disappointed... Not really worth, don't like the food though we were hungry after the long walk
