During one of the day , my father was planning to drive us to one of the AMK hawker centre to eat the famous teochew porridge and we came accross this Pine Garden Bakery shop.
Seeing so many news articles, i decided to buy the cakes and tried !
i bought-
lychee ( $2.40 )
orange chocolate & ( $2.40)
Peanut ($1.20)
then peach cake , this is a baked cake ( $2.50 )
OVerall , i only like the Peanut cake and orange choc cake as the rest of the cakes taste nice because of the strong flavoring essense they use.
Especially the peach cake, after hours , the peach essense taste is still lingering in my mouth ! which made me loss of appetite .
i have also bought a red bean bread - $1.20
is taste deliciously for the first mouth but after few mouths ...it is getting a bit too much , perhap is because they put too much butter on top of the bread
LAstly is the kueh,
i asked the Auntie what is the kueh about as it look special to me , the aunt told me is a kind of traditional kueh.
i tried it and taste like kaya kueh ! no comment for this except after i have tried it , it did not meet my expectation.
Before the tampines Giant was opened, i always visit the one that is nearer to my house, and it was located at the sembawang shopping centre.
I always bought things from Giant due to its cheap and big variety of things. :D
Furthermore, they also conducted lucky draw frequently !
I always bought foods like Apples ( always seem so fresH ) ,
breads ( they made the bread themselves !) and is only $ 1 !!!! Even the wholemeal bread is only $1.20 .
They also sell sushi, cookies, clothing, meat, .....etc . TOO MUCH FOR ME TO mention.....
However, when the sembawang shopping centre closed down ....i seldom visit Tampines giant ! Because i knew i will bought a lot a lot of staff and SUFFER ! LOL
Like the Gigantic "GIANT " even though i never fail to see the long queue in every counter.
Like their things but not their staff as some of them can be quite "snobby".
OVerall , giant shopping centre is my second choice of shopping in term of distance but the FIRST in value and the variety of things they sell.

we went there at about 6.30pm and we were the first bagde of customers !!! haha ...so you can guess that all the food were freshly served.
the first food i took is the chocolate foundue. ^^
then small deco desserts which are very cute and look tasty.
then mini cakes which have -
orea cheesecake,
chocolate cake,
log cake , ...
mousse cakes- chococate , strawberry , sago version of mousse cake
you will know if you watch the channel 8 show on thursday - Buffet Buffet
I started out with desserts first as i am a dessert-craver !! haha
next ,,, i tried the meats which are teriyaki chicken , fish, squid ,salmon, prawn and ....many more
BEST is teriyaki chicken as it is cook on spot by the chef ! :D
i am also very satisfied with the freshness of the meats
E.g are the salmon and the prawn ! ^^
juicy and chewy !
Tiffany cafe also provided many types of salad which made me in dilemma. What to choose !!?
IT also have shark fin , onion soup , and bread?
for the heavier type of meal ....there are
fried rice , spagetti and noodle ( to prepare on your own ; DIY)
Overall, for variety wise ....although it look to me that they are trying to make it FUSION.
like providing a combination of food from Japan, western and chinese countries
but i thing they had failed.
The reason is because...there are only 1 type of rice, 1 type of spagetti and one type of noodle !
moreover the spagetti is with Beef ( so people who does not consume beef is only left with rice and noodle )
the variety of meats are a lot . However, for Japanese style they only have 2 - salmon and octopus
And having bread for dinner buffet look weird! Nobody even bother to take one piece of bread !
For desserts session -
love the mousse and pudding but not the CAKES !!!
cakes , to be frank is very NORMAL ! and the flavour of cinnamon is too strong ( is not a cinnamon cake )
i guess they have strict budget for cakes and cookies .
because the cookies is very hard to eat !
the fruits for fondue are not fresh too
anyway, i guess i will not go to Tiffany cafe for Buffet anymore

The atmosphere was nice, even though there was a big crowd during peak hour ...which can be quite a 'distraction' sometimes. " lol"
Another thing that was good is the music they played !!!

We ordered ...
yang zhou chao fan ( fried rice )
black pepper pork chop spaghetti
Mango shaved ice
Drinks ----
Lychee Tea with real lychee

My friends and i will go to Mega bites and have our lunch.
Thumb up ! for their special services !
in the way that ....it is something like MArche !
When you first entered , you will get a card .
Don't BE SHOCKED !
they will need your card when you purchase your food.
E.g. you ordered a food and chip, they will require the card . Hand it over to them and they will put a stamp on it.
so when you finished your meal proceed to the counter and paid up together with the card :D
Other then the unique style of handling bills.
I also like their portions of food, is really A LOT !!!
Even my friend ,who is a male, cannot finish the food ! haha
$4 ~ $7 for the western stall
$3.50 ~ $6 for the zhu chao stall
then $2.5 ~ $ 4 for the chicken rice stall
$3.50 ~ $ 4.50 for the soup stall that sells fish soup and tom yam soup
LAstly , SIM students and NP staff still get 10 % discount when their present their staff cards !
ARGH !!! haha
