Bought a dress from this place. Ordering is by leaving comments for the "collection" of clothes and the blog owner will email you. Reply came quick and courteous. Item was also sent very fast and nicely packed. However, items seems to be limited and expensive looking at the materials of the clothing. One commendable thing is, the designs of the clothes are unique and seldom seen on other blog shops.
Went for lunch at this place this afternoon as my friend heard the recommendation for it over the radio. Decided to order the Sirloin Steak ($10) even though I didn't know its the specialty there. I simply love to eat steak even though I dislike most meat.
Medium well for the steak. The cut wasn't too good as there are too much ligaments (?). However meat was tender and goes well with the sauce but I would prefer heavier beef taste. Came with baked beans and fried whipped potato (with butter I guess) and fries. Quite value for the price of $10.
A friend ordered pork and he did mention its just average and nothing special. However he loved the fried chicken which looked a bit weird but that doesn't matter when the taste is good.
Beef stew was fine, I heard, in fact, the beef tasted delicious. However the vegetables that came with the stew were cold.
Chicken chop ($5.50) also received a "normal" review. With a common sauce as Pork chop, the sauce didn't seem to blend well with the meat.
On the whole, I guess I won't deliberately visit this stall for the food.
Went through IMM today on my way home from work and saw this small ice cream store facing away from the crowds. Decided to get some ice cream as I was having sugar rush.
Interesting flavors like milk tea flavor, green tea and red bean flavor, pumpkin, Orange and the more common ones like berry, rum and raisin.
I chose the rum and raisin flavor. Cost me around $3.80 for 1 scoop in a cup. Quite ex I can say, lucky the scoop wasn't too small.
Taste is just average or a bit above average comparing to ice cream like cold rock. However, I don't quite like the texture of the ice cream. Its too "loose" or should I say too watery. None of the chewiness I would like my ice cream to have.
Further, as I eat more of the ice-cream, the taste "disappeared" as my mouth becomes cold from the ice cream. Didn't finish my scoop as in the end it just tasted like a cold lumpy "thing".
I would like to try other flavors though. There may still be some potential of good taste. Just trying one may not be a good gauge of this brand of ice cream
An Australian-Asian fusion cafe. We felt the design and furnishing looks more like those small family restaurant.
We were greeted warmly by the service crew at the entrance and guided to a table. Although its "crampy" but very clean and tidy. The crew proceeded to explain that orders are to be taken and paid at the cashier. Nets acceptable.
Sets inclusive of a main course, soup, dessert and a drink at $14.90 which we loved as its valued for money on the face value.
Soup: Bit blend for taste and had to add pepper.
Main course: Ordered black peppered sirloin ($11.90), Chicken chop (part of set meal). Sirloin was fine though its taste was covered by the sauce which was too spicy for me. Rice that came with the main course was too dry though it still taste quite nice. Chicken chop was fine and tender but the sauce was too blend. At least for the person who ate it.
Dessert: I ordered "Crazy Sue" ($4.50) which was a chocolate and orange flavor cake. Nice blend of both flavors and not too sweet so even when I am full I still can finish the cake. Chocolate walnut that came with the set was also recommended. Commendable, although its a set meal at a low price, the quality and quantity of food wasn't compromised.
Garlic bread: A bit above average though I still prefer the one at "Spaghetti Too" reason being the cheese was not chewy enough and bread not that crispy though its already better than a lot of others I've tried.
On the whole, the taste of food weren't too great. Above average I would say and definitely valued for money. The quality of customer service was also there and highly satisfactory.
Hanabi Restaurant, situated at Bukit Timah Road King's Arcade. We went to this place on Sat for dinner. Read on Yebber's review that there will be a lot of people there so we decided to reserve a table for 3.
When we sat down, the waiter came over and ask us what drinks we want to order when we haven't even open our menu. Turned out its our fault as the buffet comes with complimentary hot or cold Ocha. So we ordered our drinks and sat to look through the menu.
Service was fast and polite. So fast that the moment some one saw my husband took up the menu, he came over and ask us whether we need to order. Not that this was bad. Service crew polite, food served fast and empty plates cleared fast.
Sashimi - I don't eat raw food as I find biting into raw meat very "恐怖“. But even to people like me, the Sashimi looks absolutely fresh and portions given were generously large. My friends who ate this said the meat were succulent and fresh but they ought to put the pieces on cooler or ice to keep the taste there. 2nd portion of the Sashimi ordered were not as nice though. Freshness was still there just that the cuts were not that good. Fish scales can be found.
Tempura - Not that great though served piping hot. We ordered Yasai Tempura and I felt that the vegetables were cooked too throughly and lost their texture. Unagi tempura was not bad with the tempura coating crispy and the Unagi itself soft and sweet. Grilled items - Definitely pre-cooked and re-warmed. Items came out warm and some were cold. Looks dry and uninviting. Grilled items were not too good which can be understood as grilled items take longer to cook. To serve fast, they must be pre-cooked.
Others - We definitely loved the Chiizu Chawanmushi. Though except for a piece of mushroom, there were no other ingredients inside, it was surprising that cheese and eggs blended well together. Not to mention the chewy pieces of cheese at the bottom of the cup.
We also ordered Goma ice-cream (Black Sesame) and Yuzu ice-cream (Jap Lemon?) and Chocolate ice-cream. Both Goma and Yuzu taste heavenly. Especially the Yuzu which is a sorbet ice-cream. Different from other sorbet ice-cream was that it wasn't too watery hence doesn't melt too fast. Pieces of fruits inside the ice-cream and its thick texture makes this item absolutely worthed its price of $4 (per scope)
Total bill for the buffet was $124. Definitely worthed the price.
