bread + kiong saik bakery

Traditional coffee shop with traditional bread toast, coffee ☕ and eggs

Traditional Kaya toast combo @ $4.90

Old coffee shop layout, nice bread and coffee ☕

Bread is not very crispy though it's the Kaya tts special

Have it eat it real quick! Delay a few minutes and it hardens

Coffee is very thick! Awaken after taken the first sip!

Hawker Chan ~ chinatown complex

Hawker Chan
Ate it few years back at Tai Seng.. and char siew is the best though their signature is soya chicken
Abit disappointed that char siew is sold out at abt 2pm.. so had soya chicken but I don't really like it
Q is not as long as expected...
There's soya chicken, char siew, roasted pork and pork chop options with choice of rice, noodle or hor fun

SOUP SPOON UNION @ nex

we are back for more salad bowls 🥗

not sure why, but they are addictive... you will actually crave for them

this time round, seems like quite a handful of missing items though...

Harvest bowl @ $10.80

no meat.. king oyster mushroom instead

like the mix of quinoa and kale! 😋 Maybe the sauce plays a part too!

but the mushroom is so so...

consist of quinoa, kale, king oyster mushroom, double portion of corns, shredded carrots, togarashi powder (looks but not spicy), roasted almond drizzled with basil vinaigrette

Warrior bowl @ $9.80

eaten this before... still like the red rice! 😋 chicken is tender too

consist of red rice, romaine lettuce, grilled chicken thigh, cucumber, radish pineapple kimchi (its very spicy), chopped peanuts, drizzled with sweet chilli kaffir lime aioli

however, some listed in the menu are missing.. broccoli 🥦, cherry tomatoes, coriander and charred miso baby corn (being replaced by corns)

tried the charred miso baby corn previously... though it doesnt look nice, but taste great!

Little Vietnam

 

We are back again for Vietnamese food!

We had the same rice vermicelli with grilled lemongrass chicken @ $7.50

I like the rice vermicelli! It's really nice! Especially with the sauce, abit of sweet, sourry, spicy

Chicken is nice too! But lemongrass is not very strong.. like it sprinkled with roasted chop peanuts 😋

Chicken meat with glass noodle soup @ $6.50

Soup is nice, kind of peppery with chicken slices and glass noodles

Chicken absorbed the taste of the soup.. 😋

Tried something different today.. Vietnamese pancake @ $6.50

Big but thin piece of pancake with lots of bean sprouts and some chicken 😋

Ordered the soursop drink again cos it's really nice! 

refreshing and sweet.. you will find quite a number of pieces in the cup, dig them through the ice! Chew abit like lychee but on a softer side and fleshy.. seed is small..

Portion is not very large but value for money

No GST or service charge

Shop is rather small with open space sitting.. so check the weather before heading! We were quite lucky that after we had finished our food it's started to drizzle abit

CEDELE @ waterway point

this is the 2nd time I'm eating Cedele.. always had the impression that Cedele is a tea time place... But actually it's good for a light dinner too!

They serves sandwiches 🥪, all day breakfast 🥓🍳🥔🍠, wraps 🌯, salads 🥗 , grain bowls

wraps are well toasted @$13 each and the portion is acceptable

Coated with a thin layer of omelette, wrapping the chosen ingredients mixed with quinoa, spring onion and melted cheese 🧀

Will definitely come again to try more

Chicken Broccoli 🥦 and Red Bell Pepper.. it's more soggy, not sure why causing the wrap to be more wet but it's nice too!! 😋

Grilled 2-mushroom 🍄 and Pumpkin 🎃 wrap.. stuffed with mushrooms and pumpkin.. 😋

don't like pumpkin but I still can accept this.. it's not too soggy with a nice sauce

Personally prefer this to the other

Served with either sweet potato fries or salad 🥗

we had a slice of eggless chocolate truffle cake @ $1 (up $7.90) with voucher from @shopbacksg (with min spent of $20 to enjoy this deal)

Cake is nice!!! Thick chocolatey taste... Expecting the base to be a cookie/biscuit but it taste like peanut butter

theres the menu

No GST and service charge ✌️

CRAVE nasi lemak @ hougang mall

have seen CRAVE Nasi Lemak almost everywhere in Singapore but this is the first time I'm eating..

overall finds it average and portion is small..

rice 🍚 is basmati rice, don't really taste coconut 🥥 which is healthier

each meal comes with an egg, some peanuts, anchovies and cucumbers

the chilli is nice!! 😋 and goes so well with the basmati rice!

Chicken Wings value menu @ $5.90

I see quite a few reviews tt chicken wings is good but find it abit hard, not crispy chicken wing too

Fish Fillet value menu@ $5.90

its not so worth it i should say... and fish fillet is not fantastic too

heres the menu

hike

 

An 2+ hr hike on a sunny Saturday morning from Harbourfront covering Mount Faber Park, to Mount Faber Peak, continuing to Henderson Wave, entering into Telok Blangah Hill Park heading towards Forest Walk, see Hort Park at the end of the walk and yes, here's 2+ hrs journey
Take a walk in the nature! And from there, it's a short walk to Alexandra, just nice for lunch!
Of cos you can pack your own lunch and lunch at Mount Faber Peak or at the end of Henderson Waves.. no shades along Henderson Waves, so it's rather hot but you seems so near to the clear blue sky

So far have not encountered any monkeys 🐒 nor squirrels though

Upwards slopes, downwards slopes, climbing steps

headed to Alexandra Village Food Centre.. its a crowded place and some stalls are having long long queues! queues are mostly chicken / duck rice stalls

with so many choices and are so hungry, we tried wanton mee and one of my favorite thunder tea rice which is not a long queue

Muffins!!!
This stall has super super long q!!! And each order is at least a box of 6 and even more
Priced between $1.70 - $2.50 so many choices to choose from
We bought all of the flavors to try.. and our few favourites are greentea, greentea monster, cookies and cream, apple, streusel chocolate
Actually is those with the crumbs on top are the nicer ones 😋
muffins are not too sweet, texture is good..not too soggy or hard and the flavors are so strong!!  😍

THAI AFFAIRS @ millenia walk

it was so crowded at Suntec City last night.. to avoid the long waiting time for dinner, we decided to Millennia Walk, just opposite

not as much choices, and we tried this restaurant

portion is really small.. they do serve quite a variety of side dishes too... maybe tts why? 🤔

Green Curry Chicken @ $10 and rice to be ordered separately @ $2

Green Curry is not really spicy

few pieces of chicken and veg (carrots 🥕, long beans)

theres green curry taste but not the very strong type

Pad Thai @ $10

its abit too sweet but at least not tt oily

to me, it's average

heres the menu

Vietnamese food!

always like Vietnamese noodle dishes

came here quite some time back and today we are back cos husband had cravings for pho

No GST or service charge

rice vermicelli with grilled lemongrass chicken @ $7.50

Chicken is nice but lemongrass is not very strong.. sprinkled with roasted chop peanuts 😋

I like the rice vermicelli! not the transparent type where we see in Chinese dishes.. it's not too soft nor chewy and the sauce makes it nicer.. abit of sweet, sourry, spicy

chicken meat with flat noodle soup @ $6.50

soup is nice, kind of peppery with chicken slices and flat noodles

shop is rather small with open space sitting.. so check the weather before heading!

CUPCAKES

I'm one of the lucky ones! Thanks to @minicakesandco_ for the instagram giveaway 🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁

The cupcakes look so pretty that my camera has to "eat" before me
There's 3 flavors, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate and the green cream makes it look so pretty and unique 😍

It's not too sweet, nor tasteless.. even my parents like it! 😋

Cake is soft but not too wet nor soggy

Just below the cream, there's a small cube of vanilla/strawberry/chocolate
Cream is nice too! Especially when you fridge it.. but I can't really tell the flavor of the pretty green cream

Tip: when I consume it immediately, the flavor of the cake is not tt strong.. after fridge it for few hours, the icy cold cream goes just so well with the flavorful cake 😍😍😋😋
