I know everyone's getting a little tired reading about donuts, but hey, the fire is still burning (thou not as strong) for all the donut factories in Singapore.
I tried Missy Donut once, but it was left with only one flavor, which I can't remember. So today I bought some home again to try, since there wasn't a queue when I was there. The selection of donuts aren't as many as some others, but I managed to pick 5 that hopefully will manage to trigger my tastebud.
One bite into the glazed donut ($1.10) and immediately I had to gulp down water to ease the sweetness. The layer of sugar onto was too heavy and the sugar content was too high. The dough was quite good but a little to the oily side.
My mum had the nutty choc ($1.20) one and she also said it was too sweet. But lucky for her, the nuts managed to balance the sweetness alittle for her.
Haven't tried to other flavors yet, but judging from the glazed one, which was supposed to be the basic donut, I'm not having a good feeling about the rest.
I wanted to try their desserts ever since I saw their poster out at Plaza Singapura. But I kept forgetting about this place when I'm there. But today, I remembered!
Went shopping with Mum at Plaza Singapura and I needed a break so I brought us to Aji Tei for desserts. The display of plastic dishes and yummy looking photos of their menu lured me in fast and furious.
As we weren't that hungry, we just ordered a dessert sampler, fried tofu and chicken skewer. The dessert came first, it looked different from the photo. There were a little too much starch (muah chee) in the 3 samplers. The green tea ice-cream on cornflakes saved this sampler. It was our first time having cornflakes with ice-cream. And we love the blend of the two.
The felt tofu felt very crispy when it was served. I could hear the crunch of the exterior when I moved it with the chopsticks. But the excitement of this dish faded the moment I tasted it. The tofu was tasteless and the sauce that came with it didn't quite help.
And then the chicken came. Didn't get to taste the original taste as my mum sprinkled chilli powder over it before I can take a photo. The chicken (with chili powder) was pretty alright. Not fantastic but better than the fried tofu.
For a die-hard Japanese resturants fan, I continue my search for better ones to add to my list. This one for sure, is not going to be listed in my favorite list.
"Ping..." "Yes Pong?" "I don't know how to fill up the form." "Why Pong?" "I don't know what to write for 'sign here'" "Aiyoh Pong, why you so stupid?" "You're a leo, so write leo loh!"

It was their 5th birthday and together with couple of Yebbers, we joined in the celebration last night. On this special evening, the place was transformed to a stylish cocktail environment where tables were set-up around the restaurant with their chefs and service staff serving up some of their best modern Chinese cuisine.
Without a doubt, My Humble House is the place to go for their chic and modern dining atmosphere. Experience the art of dining at My Humble House. One thing that we agreed in unison was the beauty of the decor and uniqueness of cutlery used.
The menu served that night includes Lobster Popiah, Foie-grass, Scallops, Wagyu Beef, Peking Duck, Fried Chicken Rice and tantalizing selection of desserts. There were also wine tasting tables spread across the room with 18 different varieties of old & new world wines.
Personally, my favorite from that night were the Peking Duck, Wagyu Beef and the Fried Chicken Rice. Let me elaborate a little about the Fried Chicken Rice...
Served in miniature cups, this is not just any usual chicken rice nor how the name suggested. When one hears the dish Fried Chicken Rice, one will imagine having crunch chicken bits with steamed chicken rice. However, their version was the total opposite. With the chicken rice fried and topped with steamed shredded chicken. And before you eat, they add in the chicken soup. The combination was unique and out of the norm. Bite into the spoonful of rice with soup, and feel the crispiness of the chicken rice.
Overall the food from the night was average. This may be due to the buffet style dinner, mass production of food, and hence the quality of the food is not up to their usual standard. Perhaps it'll be much better to go dine and try the regular menu. But then, that'll also mean paying a lot more for that.
I went there for lunch the other and it was AWESOME.. Though the ambience is just so so, but i love the food they dish out.
I had seafood for one and my friend had Fish and Chips. We shared the food and i simply love the rice. Well flavoured yellow rice with bits or raisin all over. It was simply delectable and very appetizing. I love the hints of spices invading my tastebuds as i chew on the rice slowly in my mouth. The fries were great also, especially sizzled with spicy powders, it sure did ZEST things up. Prawns and fish is ok, fresh with no seafood stench and the fried calemari was FAB.... I love it with extra tar tar sauce.... whom which the waiter gladly provided us.
You must also try the passion fruit soda. I love the funcky popping taste with the glamourous passion fruit. It was indeed a fabulous lunch, perhaps too heavy for lunch but i'm sure its good for dinner.
The ambience is so so, not glam but casual. They have the alfresco sits as well, but it faces the road and fumes from the industrial park in tuas makes it not so nice.... The waiters gave us pretty good attention, though as it happens to most waiters and waitresses, We really wonder if they are overly concerned over lizards on the ceiling or zealous with their own shoes. They seemed to look up into the ceiling or look down to their shoes but never to the custiomers asking for bill, more water or to order........
Its indeed a pretty nice place to bring your family along though this outlet is not too huge, you could call first to reserve a table. Also avoid sitting near to the side railings unless you wanna pissed the shoppers using the escalators with your OH SO DELECTABLE food and throw them a prawn head or two.. heh heh!
While making payment, they gave us some candy.... and GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME... the candy was so so so so sooo........ YUMMY....... and so watching me go all ecstatic over the small white candy the waitress kindly mentioned that they do sell it if i want. AND i went home happily with ONE KG of that delectable CANDY.... AND ITS made in AFRICA....
I'm pretty sure everyone knows Killiney Kopitiam. They have a few outlets around Singapore and most people would have been to one or the other.
Anyway this particular one in Siglap is always busy. They are never empty and I wonder why.
Coffee at Killiney's ain't different from the 70 cents one you find at your regular coffeeshop. not to mention it's more expensive here. In fact, it's more diluted if they're really busy. It's a little wierd since they supposedly make each cup as they are ordered.
They also have local foodfare like Mee siam and Nasi Lemak. Taste-wise is pretty average. Nothing special, thus it doesn't quite justify that $1 or $2 more....
I like the toast though, but again it's nothing extraordinary.
Nonetheless this small outlet is always bustling. Only try if you really have no other place to go for breakfast.
Ice Cream Chefs ... located along East Coast Road... How could I not visit this place?! It's a quaint little joint located near where Jackie's Bowl used to be.
Initially I'd thought the ice cream would be made on the spot ... haha the bimbo I am...
The ice cream is displayed like normal. There are many flavours to choose from including special ones like Chocolate and Hershey's, Nutella Delight, Mrs Smith, etc. The ice cream is made from real ingredients... not just flavouring. There's real durian meat in the Durian Decadence flavour.
And The really special thing they'd do for you is CUSTOMISE your ice-cream. You can add Loacker's wafers, Oreos... into your ice-cream!! You can even mix flavours...
One large pint will cost $9.50. Two pints was nice for 3 people who loved ice cream.
I think it's worth a try. The quality is pretty good and it's great fun! The ambience is very casual with music from the radio in the background. You can choose to sit inside or outside... total seating area for about 20 people .
This is one site that all book lovers should join. Find books in BookJetty and it'll search through Amazon for details and listing of the books that matches your query. The most exciting thing is the integration of the search of the books in National Library too!! Yes! Our dear NLB! It'll tell you where you'll be able to find the book and whether or not its on loan and if you need the list of libraries with the book, you can even send a SMS to yourself so that you don't have to write it down on paper.
I've not been reading for long long long long time. (Apart from reading in Yebber and the other blogs I read.) But now with BookJetty, I might just pick up reading again! So loving the feature of BookJetty! Go try it to see it yourself!
I went to K-BoX to Sing last friday night.... It was fun and I was so impressed by the size of this thing.....
We were late.. and thats all because of the GAGA Girls I was with and then we couldn't find the right room, because the place is freaking huge...... I thought the K-Box at level 4 was huge, wait till you see the level 8 Branch..... Goodness.. this is Singapore, not MUMBAI.......
Since the GAGA girls are equally blur as me, we asked for room 26 at Level 4 even though we were repeatedly told its room 26 at Level 8. My clever brain thought the level 4 K-Box is huge enough and there could only be one. But as we were brought to the room 28 at level 4 I rushed in with a loud HELLO.... and I was greeted with 8 Strangers with SHOCK Faces.. Talk about most embarassing moments.
Then we proceeded to the level 8... and when the lift door opened...... WELCOME TO MUMBAI style K-BOX.... It was so huge and there were lotz of servers all around.. saying GOOD EVENING, HOW ARE YOU to us.... The room was a comfortable size for 8 or 10...
Songs were pretty updated with the newest singable mandaring and english songs. We didn't check out the hindi songs but I'm sure its as updated if not Better.... The common toilet was a screw up, but just don't drink so much, I think its fine. We had quite a great time and later into the night, our Hong Kong girlfriends went Crazy and danced on the couches threatening to Tuo Diao Tuo Diao......
Hm... I think that last point just invited a huge percentage of Singaporean men to visit K-Box at level 8 Cineleisure.. As such I shall stop here.....
Tuo Diao Tuo Diao..... Shang Yi Tuo DIao Tuo Diao........
Tong Tong Tuo DIao Tuo Diao.......
I have a NDS Lite... In short its a 2 screened GAMEBOY. If you think that its a childish thing, then you should buy one and experience the sophistication of the technology especially crafted into this handheld equipment. I always wanted to protect the screens as I am not very gentle towards handheld equipments.
One faithful SUNDAY afternoon, I was shopping in FUNAN and I came across the screen protector i wanted to find in PK COMPUTERS PTE LTD. It is retailing at only $7.90, comes in exactly cut sizes and is of a pretty good quality.
It is easy to find screen protectors and it can get really cheap, but usually the cheap ones are not of good quality and most of the time you've got to place them on yourself. They come off easily and might harm your screen instead of protecting it. Especially when you have a touch screen, sometimes when we are excited we tend to be rather ROUGH on the screens and they are very expensive to replace.
I got the protectors and proceed to payment. After payment, the retail assistant asked if I brought my unit and proceed towards fixing the protector up for me. It was perfectly fitted on and I've never seen my NDS Lite so clean since day 1.
For those looking for screen protectors, I recommend PK Computers. Though they do not specialise in this but they did an excellent job in fixing it on. You can also play some games on their demo sets while waiting for them to get your protector on. So far, this is the only place i could find such good quality protectors at such value price.
For an even cheaper idea, you might want to stick on a piece of clear masking tape... Hee hee.....
