What would you think of when i say fast food restuarant? As for me, i would think of Macdonald! Perhaps their strong advertisement has make this impact (fast food equals to mac chicken?) on me whenever i think of fast food restuarant. hahhaahah...
However, this japanese brand fast food competitor somehow has managed to creep into my heart. (so now, i thought of mos burger too whenever i heard of fast food restuarant) :P
Whats so special about this restuarant, you may ask? Well, the most special part of this restuarant is the japanese flavour not only in their food but also in the design of the restuarant and the staff uniforms as well.
I like almost anything in the menu that they have. One of the most popular burger is definitely their teriyaki chicken burger. This is my favourtie too. I simply like the fact that they bother to toast their bun. Imagine the bun is hot and one side of the bread is slightly crispy, it makes my whole burger eating experience great.
Not forgetting, they uses teriyaki chicken breast (should be as it do not look like drumstick to me :P) which is a rather healthy alternative compared to the rest of the parts of a chicken. Whats more, they actually included fresh vegetables (not few slices but one big piece) into the burger, definitely makes me feel less guilty when i induge in the fast food.
Another must try is definitely their corn soup. They have about 3 different types of soup available but corn soup is still the best. I like the thickness of the coup (not too thick where it will stick together and not too thin that you feel you are drinking plain water). The strong corn taste of the corn soup (sometimes you can see few pieces of corn bits in it) is something which makes me crave more for their soup.
Milk tea as a fast food drink item? You can find it here! You get the choice of making how milky you want the drink to be. This is because their milk tea is not pre mixed before hand, instead you have to add in the milk yourself from individual packings. I loved this personalised milk tea as i can add in the amount of milk accordingly to my mood on that day :P.
A rather interesting concept from the normal american chain of fast food restuarant that you see. Although their prices may be slightly higher, its definitely worth to try them out.
My bf and I dropped by Shen Ji Seafood Garden tonight, with the main purpose of trying out the XO Crab Bee Hoon there. However, the crab looked large in the picture of their menu. Hence, we opted for their XO Fish Slices Bee Hoon ($8)instead.
The place was quite crowded, yet..not as crowded as I thought it'll be especially on a Friday night.. *hmm*
Anyway, the food came shortly and we began our little feast. :)
The XO Fish Slices Bee Hoon was actually not bad. You could taste the XO, and it really gave the soup much more taste. The fish slices were fresh, and together with their chilli (mixed with lime juice), ah..it was good. :)
However, I only said that the dish was not bad, because after the 2nd bowl followed by the 3rd bowl, both of us felt that it didn't taste as good as the 1st. I don't know if I should blame it on the fan blasting from behind us, the fact that our hunger pangs have more or less died down after the first bowl, or the dish itself.
Anyhow, our final grading of the dish was that it was o-kay. Nothing much to rave about..and..it's taste is just very slightly above average I guess. This goes for the other side dishes we had as well.
Hmm.. But considering the fact that the bill came up to $20 for both of us, seemed quite reasonable. If only the food was a a fraction (or much more) better than average~
With a traditonal mindset of vegetarian food being all boring and not that tasty, a trip to this beautiful restaurant totally changed my perception.
This vegetarian restaurant is located strategically beside the newly soft-launch buddhist temple - Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum. Hence, it's not difficult to locate this restaurant.
Stepping into its second storey, you'll be kind of surprised to find it's interior beautifully decorated with mirrored walls and classy furniture. A restaurant totally different from my typical mindset of vegetarian restaurants. "This one is really classy", I thought.
However, looking at it's menu, you'll see familiar food items like hor fun, fried kang kong etc. I had their 'fish' hor fun and frankly speaking, it was GOOD. Though the 'fish' was mock meat and made up beadcurd stuff, it was delicious. Especially with the unique chilli sauce that they have there? *mm~* Delicious! :)
The other dishes ordered were also fabulous. OOH especially the mock fried sotongs they have there. Wow, it was exactly like the 'real' sotongs we usually eat. All tangy and chewy, yet also crispy and tasty as it was fried. I was seriously impressed at how the chef actually managed to create 'such a miracle'. Haha..
The staff was quite friendly, and are willing to give you opinions as to what to order. And..price wise, it was a little pricey, but..I think the food was quite worthy of the price paid.
Vegetarian food doesn't have to be all fried & oily mock meat and vegetables only, u know. Try this place out and your perception on vegetarian food may just change.. :)
Tends to get a headache whenever i see too much people queuing for food. But guess only good food will attract lots of customer. dilemma right? hahahahaha... initially, just wanted to have a simple dinner at the food court, but out of a sudden it seems overwhem with people. (people going for weekend cruise)
In the end, i decided not to squeese with the crowd and went upstairs searching for a place to have quiet meal. Then did i saw this Orient Cruise cafe located at the third level of the harbourfront centre.
Well, though the signboard has written it as a cafe, you basically will not find any servers greeting you as you enter their store. Why is it so, you may ask? This is because they are on a self service practice. Even, the food that you would like to eat, you will have to queue it up yourself and buy them.
Their varieties of food is not really that much, basically it includes mixed rice (you get to choose you own side dish like vegetables, meat, etc), mee siam, mee rubus and laksa. Not really much to choose right?
Was not very impressed with their mee siam thou. Firstly, its definitely their lack of ingredients. Basically, you can only find one egg, 3 small cubes of tau pok and whole chunk of bee hoon. I though perhaps their mee siam may taste great despite their lack of ingredients. But im very disappointed when their bee hoon taste like rubber bands. :(
Next important stuff for a good mee siam, its their mee siam sauce. For me, i think that good mee siam sauce should have a not too sweet and not too salty kind of taste. (just right is the key word). However, i feel this mee siam sauce is too salty and it lacks the peanut taste that most of the mee siam have. Makes me drink quite abit of water after that.
Tasted their laksa too. The first thing that i wan to comment is the pool of red chilli oil floating on the top of the laksa. Makes me feel like i am drinking oil instead? However, it has definitely much more ingredients than the mee siam, with all its fish cake and beansprouts. hahaha... Taste wise, nothing fanastic i guess.
This shop can gets rather crowd during peak hours. Mixed rice is definitely the most popular item for its customers, judging from the people over there. However, it may not be a good choice to bring my mee siam fanatics to try it here.
There is a Mc Cafe next to the mcdonald in Jurong Point and before the launching of the WIFI all over singapore, mcdonald had it launched first.
The Mc Cafe there is pretty nice and classy. with the dark brown theme, but the service is not so friendly. What more, there is only one power wall socket there and it is functional. But ONE DAY.. to many customer's dismay, it has been turned off... There is no power for those who brought their lappy there to charge for a little while. I mean, if you do not provide ample wall sockets thats fine, but if its delibrately switch off then that is unfriendly.
It has been functional for quite a few months and as the number of charging customer's increases it becomes non-functional. Who knows what happened to it...
Anyway, the sandwiches are nice and the hot chocolate is fabulous. I love the milk fluff they put on top of the hot chocolate and the chocolaty powders they sprinkle on top.. not to say the wonderfully matched mushmellows.. OH SO DELECTABLE.....
Not recommended for working or presentations to your customers.... If not.... bring your own generator......
I'm loving every bits of this new magazine! Saw this new magazine at the newsstand and was attracted by its name - Smitten. Curious to know what's it about, I picked it up and glance through the cover and saw that this copy is their debut issue and topics looks pretty interesting.
Project Smitten is the name of the magazine. (Smitten reminds me of kitten. Small, cute, playful, fun, pretty and mischievous!)
Flipping through the pages of Smitten and I'm greeted by the faces behind Smitten. In Smitten picks, the key ladies in Smitten share they favorite picks for the month. This gives me, as a reader, feel closer to the magazine as I'm able to match the names to faces. Loving this!
Every page you flip to, you'll find the trendiest and uber stylish fashion. Best of all, they show you exactly where you can get them! Even the cute little puppies.
Another section I love is the spy section - spy now and smitten spy. You'll be able to find rare finds and hidden treasures locally, internationally and in the www in these sections.
The smitten decorate pages are also one that I simply adore! I love everything pretty, cute, quirky and cool. Decorate now shows you where you can find these cool stuff to add on to your collection. Great pages to flip through if you're considering buying unique gifts for your friends.
Smitten is one mag that I'm so going to subscribe!
Oh, did I mention about the Smitten Society card that gives you great discounts during the Smitten Shopping Week? Go grab a copy of smitten to find out!
*****Updated 6 Jan 2008***** Was delighted to have received my first subscribed delivery from Project Smitten (Jan/Feb08) this morning at my doorstep. Since I’m at my CNY shopping mood, I quickly flipped the pages and see what they’ve in store for us. Spotted a “Hot Buy” of a bag organiser from M)phosis on page 55 of this issue and wanted to get one for myself. Went shopping at Bugis Junction and stopped by M)phosis to ask if they’ve stock for it. Looks like, I’m not the first who was there to ask about this bag.
The salesgirl asked which magazine I saw this bag in and told me that the bag I was looking for was from months ago! They no longer carry it! I asked if they’ll be bringing in more, she said it depends.
I was quite upset that this thing happened. Why does a fashion magazine publish a product that was already not on sale? I was very pleased with their content once. But after this incident, and many other which I’d heard (from their facebook group), I guess they’ve got to improve a lot more to gain back the trust from existing subscribers and attract new ones.
Yummy O? Yet another donut outlet for the craze for donuts. Was it really Yummy?
Ever since don't know when, the craze for donuts picked up and everyone in Singapore was taking leave and skipping lessons just to queue for a box of donuts. Similar to many other craze fab, everyone wants a piece of this fab pie "while the rod is hot". So everywhere I go, I see some kind of donuts outlet and if there's not a long queue, I'll go get some to try it out. (Famous or not famous, rewarded or not rewarded.)
The drifting fragrance of the donuts lured me towards the stall hidden at the corner of White Sands (among OCK and other snack stalls). Curious to find out what they have to offer, I went to take a peep. And the heart shaped donuts and mocha flavored ones tempted me to buy and try. Something different from the other donuts is that they donut prices are fixed. No bulk discount even if you buy 6 or 12 in a box. (Maybe that's why there wasn't a queue?) And one plus point for this is the packaging. Instead of just placing your donuts in a big box, they have this plastic tray that separates the donuts in the box, I thought this was helpful, so you don't have to worry about them pushing against one another inside the box.
Now, the most important element is the taste and yumminess of these donuts. They claimed to be the only donut awarded with an award by Singapore. (can't remember by which organisation) but I'm having second thought about it. My mum agreed with me too. I told her I didn't have to queue for these donuts. And later when she tried one, she told me those I queued for tasted better. These donuts were too sweet and the dough taste just like any bread with fillings from the usual bakeries. Other than this, I don't know what else to comment on the donuts. Sure not how their name suggests.
This may sound like a grumblilng post, but I hope someone will do something about it.
Being a commuter everyday on SBS buses, I've to say I'm not quite please with what I'm getting. Especially when they're going to increase their fares another time.
I'm sure many commuters like myself experience the same thing daily while going to work or returning home. And I'm sure SBS know about the situation. At the peak period when everyone's getting to work, the bus is usually super packed. And at times, there'll be a higher frequency or an empty bus starting its jorney at a later part of the route. But this doesn't happen everyday and usually we need to be lucky to catch such a period. If not, everyone will have to squeeze into the already packed bus or wait for another similarly filled bus or suffer in hunger at the bus stop to wait for one bus that's not packed to the entrance so that you can board without feeling like a sardine.
Besides the peak period problem, some buses with air-con was stuffy and warm. Obviously there's something wrong with the aircon at the upper deck but would the driver know about it? I doubt so, cos the lower deck aircon was working fine. People at upper deck had to suffer the long and jammed up journey from the heat from the sun and the stuffiness from the broken aircon. Shouldn't SBS be servicing their buses reguarly to maintain and avoid such situation?
I would have given a one star rating but then how can we avoid these situation in such a service?
Huge Red Chairs, Few Power Points, Fabulously Nice Coffee and cakes and Beautiful Interior Design....
Pacific Coffee is one of the few coffee franchises that offers comfy couches for customers to laze around. A perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon. This outlet at the Vivo city has a library theme. There are some really classics story books laying around for you to read them for leisure.
With the huge sits, one could not but feel AT HOME... The wonderful aroma of the exotic coffee beans lushes the air..... If you like Alfresco style.... You might wanna sit outside and enjoy the ocean breeze... They have these really nice swing benches for two...... Sitting on it really makes you feel young...
Totally agree with Leenie! Kallang McDonalds is the best place to go!
This is the place where I spent most of my weekends and some weekdays noon at. Especially during the school holidays. My bf and I will drive up, park at the Free parking lots and spend the whole afternoon at Kallang McDonalds, either marking worksheets, preparing presentations, writing papers or mugging for exams.
With the Free power sources around the place, no wonder so many business people who works out of office would gather there for meetings or checking emails and surfing the net.
The corner booth seats next to the toilet is my favorite spot. But they're usually taken up. And there's no power point at those seats. Except for one furthest away from the toilet which has a point nearby, but not long enough for the usual labtop cables. So some even brought their own extension chord!! McDonalds should have more of such facilities for their standalone outlets like Kallang's.
I'm giving this outlet 5 stars for their generosity for providing so many power points for customers and never complaining or "chasing" anyone away even if they sat there entire day with just a purchase of a EVM.
If you happen to be there often too, share your experience here too! Who knows, maybe we might have seen one another before! (hmm... maybe we could have a Yebber gathering one day at Kallang McDonalds! tsk tsk.)
