KUCINA @ kinex

its Christmas Eve and its crowded everywhere!

so we came to Kucina, a halal Italian restaurant located at a quiet mall.. Kinex

they serve mostly pasta, pizza 🍕 and some main course.. pizzas and pasta are not commonly found in other restaurants and cafes..

so many that we wanted to try... but theres limitation to our stomach.. so we had finally chose

Gamberi Germolata (Aglio Olio w prawns and anchovy lemon 🍋 sauce) @ $21.90++

4 choices of pasta is available.. and we chose my favorite linguine  

its not dry with lots of olive oil and pasta is just nice, not too hard nor overcooked

with the zest of lemon... makes this dish special!

Pizzotto @ $21.90++

a very nicely baked crust with turkey bacon 🥓, mushroom 🍄 and a sunny up 🍳 with tomato 🍅and mozzarella cheese 🧀 sauce

size is quite big, good for sharing... too much for a small eater like me

bread is very special! its not the normal thin crust but has the taste of baguette and bit of charcoal smell.. (its not oven baked?)

yuzu lime kucito @ $9.90++

nice drink.. fuzzy, lightly sweet and sourish, very refreshing drink

theres quite a number of nice desserts too!

here we have Tortino @ $12.90++

hot chocolate lava cake with a scoop of chocolate chip ice cream

heres the menu

📍11 Tanjong Katong Road, Kinex #B1-09/10 Singapore 437157

PARIS BAGUETTE @ northpoint city

a drink and dessert after dinner.. its full house at abt 9pm.. but the staff is kind enough to approach customers who alr finished their drinks to give up their seats

coffee/tea, blueberry yogurt cheese tart and mini croissants

croissants is soso... looks crispy but is not..maybe heating up abit would be better

blueberry yogurt cheese tart is not very sweet, mixture of blueberries and yogurt sandwiched between 2 thin slice of cake

the base and side is the puff-tart type.. personally prefer biscuit.. but overall still nice..

PIZZA HUT @ north point city

a catch up with Peng after 2 years+ for a dinner on a Fri nite.. both of them recommended "Christmas Pizza" from Pizza Hut.. ok i have to admit that my impression of pizzas at Pizza Hut are average, but they really said its so so good.. so got to give it a try
 

Christmas Pan Pizza looks so pretty on advertisements and menu but my sis was disappointed when served and much more after having a few bites

does this pizza gives the Christmas feel? theres no red flakes... we asked the staff and she said "oh no more stock".. to the 2 of them, they said tt the flakes does makes a difference to the taste of pizza too

they also commented that the cheese used as different too! yaa, all the negative comments...

we also tried this, Christmas dish.. ghost pepper chicken

its super spicy!! even the one who loves spicy said its spicy too!

📍930 Yishun Ave 2, Northpoint City #B1-37 Singapore 769098

SOI 19 THAI WANTON MEE @ space@kovan

we order this.. wanton mee original, regular size

there are 3 sizes and 3 types.. you can see it in the menu

portion is standard wanton mee serving...

its nice.. above average is what my husband says

however, its abit more salty especially the soup

can tell from pic, a generous amt of pork lard! char siew is nice and noodle is quite chewy 👍

heres the menu.. they serves quite a few side dishes... but i dont really see ppl ordering them... most of them are just having wanton mee

MACCHA HOUSE @ orchard central

its hard to not q for food at central area on a weekend. we see that its the shortest q at Maccha House and we decided to dine here since we are a fan of matcha too! however, we are disappointed with the service and food here though.. food were served timely, but customers in the q were ignored even though there are available tables

this is what we have ordered..

 

Tonkotsu Ramen @ $11.99++

look at the egg..... so broken and the seaweed have turned soggy... looks like these was prepared quite sometime alr?

soup is quite diluted and noodle is overcooked

Chicken Cha Yuzu Soba @ $12.99++

the same, diluted soup and overcooked noodle.

its just a few small pieces of yuzu, and theres no yuzu taste in the soup

even so, i do like the traditional matcha.. matcha powder and hot water served separately.. matcha taste is so strong tt is so different from typical hot green tea

this is the menu

as the name Maccha House suggest, i believe the drinks and desserts will be worth trying instead of the main courses

📍181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central #B1-40 Singapore 238896

NIPONG NAEPONG @ 313 somerset

i believe you have seen quite a few posts on nipong naepong.. yes, its really nice and addictive that my husband and i will always want to go back

we came on a Monday night so we dont have to q! you will have for up to 45mins on a weekend

Seafood Cha Ppong

its still as spicy or i can say its more spicy today... and noodle is still as chewy

Tomato Ppong

this is what i have... its not as spicy.. very mild spicy i should say.. best for non-spicy takers like me

i actually drank all the soup! 😋

both at $16.90++ each

📍313 Orchard Road, 313@Somerset #B3-03 Singapore 238895

aji-ichi @ singpost centre add pic

a Japanese restaurant by Aston

they serve mostly Japanese rice bowls 🍚 and sushi 🍣

food is nice and staff is friendly too

we had  

Butariki don @ $11.90++

though the bowl looks big, but portion is just nice for me... a generous amount of pork slices with onion and sauce
Chicken Nanban Set @ $12.90++ comes with salmon sashimi, koshihikari rice (to me is just normal jap rice) and soup

chicken is abit oily but its served hot!

soup is abit blend though

OVERLY PIZZA @ hougang ave 5

Pizza! 🍕

got a flyer (which is the menu) in my letterbox and my husband decided to give it a try..

thinking it was cafe, but actually no.. only pick-up and delivery available

Hokkaido Teri Chicken

its very rich in taste, and flavorful... its nice!😍 the sauce is special

Cheesy Cannonballs

as the name suggest, the "balls" on the pizza are cheese 🧀... cheese powder type.. if you like cheese, you will definitely like this!

Both regular, classic crust which I believe is thin crust.. crust is perfectly baked

this is the menu

got them at a promo price of 2 for $22.. which is quite big... more than enough for 2 pax.. if you sides, its enough for 3 pax to share

and according to the staff, these are the new pizza toppings

located at a void deck, abt 10-15mins walk from Hougang MRT

📍blk 311 Hougang ave5 #01-189 Singapore 53031
