ESSEN @ anchorvale

located along a PCN in a community centre, always 🚲🚲 pass and it's always packed, so we decided to give it a try yesterday... By foot, it's quite a long walk though
Really not very accessible by public transport...
Quite a big place with indoors and outdoor seats serving different cuisine...
read reviews that only the Chinese food is good, but we don't see ppl eating them.. so weird 🤔
wanted to try the pizza 🍕 but the wait was 1hr + .. imagine the crowd..
in the end we chose grilled chicken and basil pesto
Grilled chicken @ $18
this was way beyond expectation! Yes! I go like "waa" cos I'm expecting something like chicken chop..
portion is big, chicken is tender... like it with the skin... It's nice!
served with 2 pieces of halved baked baby potatoes and salad veg
Basil pesto @ $16
this is normal.. pesto sauce with penne pasta..
i dont mind eating this again though
portion of sauce is sufficient, served with brown mushroom.. mixed in the sauce but don't think is cooked tgt
nice food, good location if you are staying nearby or a cyclist..
📍 59 Anchorvale Road #01-06 Singapore 544965 (beside sengkang sports complex)

dim sum, noodles, pizza, pasta, western and ice cream scoops w waffle options
heres the menu

they serve beer 🍻 also.. yup, see lots of ppl drinking.. but it's still suitable for families

jack's place

Weekdays late lunch special
1-for-1 selected main course... Includes fish and chips, chicken steak, steak, salad

We chose
Fish fillet and chicken steak @ $17++
Sizzling hot! Chicken is abt hard and fish is average... served with veg and potato 🥔
I like the potato!!! Especially with the toppings!

New England's fish and chips @ $15++
So hot and you will see smoke from the fish when you cut it.... Very soft at the inside and crispy at the outside.... Served with thick big fries and salad
There's another breaded fish also looks good! Shall try it the next time

Add $6.80++ for value meal and get a soup of the day + garlic bread + dessert = ice cream
Garlic bread is hot crispy! Don't wait till it's cold.... Soup is okok, not creamy type, slightly diluted

It's really worth it, with the lunch special... Big portion, nice food.. and it's packed, full house... But don't have to q

KUCINA @ kinex

an halal Italian restaurant that serves pizza 🍕, pasta and some main course + desserts!
all the pasta and pizza 🍕 are unique which can't be found easily in other restaurants or cafes.. we are for the 2nd time...the food is nice so is the price lah haha
Napolitana @ $19.90++
very nicely baked crust with anchovies, capers, olive, mozzarella cheese + tomato🍅 sauce
bread is very special! Not the thin crispy crust but taste abit like baguette 😋
compared to the previous pizza we had at pizzakaya, bread is more special but this is nice too!
size is quite big, good for sharing.. too much for a small eater
Pollo Diavola @ $21.90++ 
very well seasoned spring chicken.. said to be marinated with herbs and chilli for 24hrs.. not the fried chicken type (spring chicken gives me tt impression)
meat is soft and tender.. waiting time is ok, slightly longer than pizza 🍕 mild spicy and it comes with salad, roasted baby potatoes and a special sauce which is spicy
baby potatoes are nice!!!

we finished the food, but will not have enough space for desserts alr... their dessert is nice too!
heres the menu

SANDOWICHI @ bugis junction

Japanese onigiri sandwich 🥪 takeaway
It's nice but find it abit costly... $9.90+ each
though it may look small, not it's filling enough for a meal for me!
sauced Jap rice with some sesame, flakes and mentai mayo, sandwiching egg and Jap cucumbers 
Supamu is like luncheon meat but it's nice!!!!
i prefer this 

Salmon, don't expect full piece of salmon, only the centre.. its coated with flour I think and crumbs

CEDELE @ waterway point

back to Cedele for light meal.. serves sandwiches 🥪, all day breakfast 🥓🍳🥔🍠, wraps 🌯, salads 🥗 , grain bowls
had Grilled 2-mushroom 🍄 and Pumpkin 🎃 wrap previosuly but it's not on the menu anymore.. ya, no more wraps.. :(
smoked salmon avocado sandwich @ $10
lightly toasted healthy wholegrain bread w salmon and avocado 🥑
not bad.. but salmon is quite raw

chicken pesto thin @ $11
don't really like the chicken... hmm, abit like steamed to cook with no seasoning, thin is nice though, tgt with pesto sauce, slice of tomato 🍅 and veg
dont think will get this again
both are not as nice as wraps, and missing sweet potato fries!!!!!!
No GST and service charge ✌🏼

So ramen






So ramen... So long since we eat.. rmb the last time I ate was the pumpkin soup base
This time round find it not as nice alr....ramen soup is not as thick as it was.. though the ramen noodle is still nice

Top up $4 for 2 sides... The pork is not bad, and bamboo shoots... Bamboo shoots is still better in soup

One thing is there maybe msg.... Abit disappointed... yaaa got the "after msg" effect which there isn't previously


Prefer this over cha shu... Meat is very soft and tender

Staycation @ equarius hotel resort world sentosa

 
Thanks to my sister, we are on a stayca again!
This time, we are at Equarius Hotel, Resort World Sentosa for 2D1N
Walkable from VivoCity through the boardwalk, USS, then to hotel Micheal drop off, where there's a shuttle bus

Check in process is quite long... Dont get to enter room after checking in, but is put on waiting area... Not sure why but this is the way they work? But I can say that it's quite crowded
We managed to enter the room at abt 4... It's abt an hr wait!

Super big room, so atas and nice, with balcony
Very spacious, toilet is so big... More than double the size of mine..
Super long sofa with a small coffee table.. so nice to sit here to snack with watching TV

Bough food from Vivo before heading here.. breadtalk cake - matcha and black sesame
Like the black sesame one, matcha is nice but find it Abit too sweet... Cake is soft and fresh
Wok Hey fried rice.. though it doesn't look alot, but it's enough for both of us

Nice Jap soy milk!

Jap snacks courtesy of my sis, bought from Plaza Singapura
I must say they are so nice! Thick and strong matcha, nice potato chips

Nice morning view from the bed

 
Need to take a buggy to another hotel for breakfast... Yup, all the hotels are under Resort World you
At 8am + , we are the first?
Nobody... But subsequently ppl starts coming in

nice breakfast... Due to the pandemic, no buffet breakfast, but there's 2 options to choose from
Local delight - nasi lemak with mutton samosa
Western 

At first we wanted to take the different type but rice for breakfast seems too heavy so we had the same... It's sooo nice!! Yes, all are served hot hot, cook to order I guess

Most ordered western only saw a local delight set... Rice portion is so huge... And some chicken tender kind... Yup.. Not the standard fried chicken
So we were "heng" we chose this

Facilities available are gym and swimming pool and reservation are required.. Each reservation is an hr for the pool

I must say the pool is super super nice!!!!
There's rooms "beach villas" too, feels like shaley, really for the big grp

So we actually spent most of the time at the hotel... Didn't really go to any attractions... Yup, we can visit the attractions anytime even without the stayca right... Hehe
We were out once to vivo to buy some food for dinner..

Nice place to relax and stayca... But it comes with a high price too... Abt cost $400++ a nite...

Glad that we were able to check out at 1pm without charge.. we did "manual" check in

Dookki

Korean buffet!!!! Been craving for it for so long.... It's naturally tend to eat more in a buffet, my husband always say "no lah" but recently cos I had worked hard to loose some bit of kg, yey buffet here I come!!!


It's quite worth it if you eat alot... $15.80++ for weekdays lunch.. normal is $18.80++ and you have 90mins to enjoy your meal


Some of the items are unavailable though..

Chicken drum sticks, assorted mushrooms and veg for our soup

There's a few soup base to choose from... We had kimchi soup, mild spicy.. hmm i still can take the spiciness

Rmb to leave some space for your stomach cos there's fried rice after tt! Using the soup we had for steamboat, the staff will use it to fried rice infront of you... Choose some ingredients to choose from... For us, seaweed is a must and we had double portion!


I will come back again! 😍😍

Penang food located at a busy place at amk, expect queues during meal time
Food is average though not the super nice kind... Choice is also quite limited.. the menu has quite alot of them are "coming soon" so maybe will come back to try other dishes
Abit like zi char, selling fried rice, hor fun, hokkien mee, fish rice
We had the
signature Penang laksa @ $4.50 it's spicy but not very sourish noodle is nice, chewy
seafood hor fun @ $5.50 quite normal, don't have the wok smell though
ba long long drink @ $3.50.. hmm don't really like the taste of the fruit... Definitely don't taste like like juice as some ppl says

Ichiban sushi 🍣
Don Don gz set (2 small bowl of rice - salmon & unagi w egg) served with chawamushi, miso soup and soft shell crab 🦀 and "fruit of the day" @ $22.90++
Sushi 🍣 are for me... Potato salad inari, golden catch and vege roll, @ $2.40++ each plate

Potato salad inari is my must have... Like the potato salad that is topped on the sushi rice wrapped with bean curd and the tiny piece of cheese
Golden catch is okok, fried fish with some veg
Veg roll is also one of my favorite! Like it coated with "veg flakes" and wrapped with avocado and cucumber

saizeriya

 Ajisen weekday lunch special
Ramen + a side dish + drink from $8.90++ onwards

We chose the same ramen, 1 pc Cha shu, black soup and fried toufu + gyozza for sides

Ramen noodle texture is good but the soup is very blend... Yaaaa, not much taste and the "black" is also very little
Definitely can get better ramen else where, but at least the price is not as high
Gyozza is nice, fried tofu quite common
