There are basically two Jollibean outlets in Bugis Junction Basement. "A" outlet bascially sells the normal type of soya milk as well as those with added 'chin chow' ones. The other outlet "B" which i am going to recommend below sells something different. Oh Well, although they both sells soya related stuffs but this B outlet sells soya milk freeze.
One may wonder whats exactly is freeze soya milk? Its bascially blended soya milk with ice cubes. Sound easy? Not exactly as they do not only uses soya milk as their ingredient. Fruits like watermelon, papaya, honeydrew can be added into their freeze drink as well.
Well, if you think that adding fruits into soya milk drink is not exactly interesting, then do read on. Today, i went to their outlet and guess what i saw? Its a newly introduced drink -- Red bean matcha soya milk. Ok, im not really a great fan of matcha and was wondering if i wanted to try this product when i saw this. They actually offered the azuki red bean soya milk.
Sounds great! Thus i decided to try them out. My first impression of this product is great. The red bean do have a strong taste but surprisely it does not over empower the taste of soya milk. Thus, i am still able to taste the soya milk as well as the red bean. Great!
As for their price wise, guess it may be abit steep to pay around 3 bucks for a cup of soya milk. Then again, think of its prenium red bean and a bigger size soya milk drink, guess it may still be fine to try them out once in a while. ;)
The sudden craving for japanese food lead me up all the way to the fifth floor of heeren shopping centre. Not that i am complaining, its just that 5 floors of walking and taking escalator is tiring, especially for someone who is extremely hungry. :P Oh well, nevertheless i still hope that all this walking is worth it.
Ordering food was not a very smooth process, i can say. I intended to take some food from the belts but due to the lack of varieties available, i decided to call the staffs. However,i waved my hand high up to for quite sometime, no staff came forward to take my order. Perhaps the location where i sat is rather off the main area, but still, i feel that they should make an effort to take care of every customer needs.
I ordered the following items: Teriyaki chicken set, (this is their discounted lunch set which cost less than 10 bucks -- very worth for japanese food with that price :P) ; Soft shell crab handrolls ; fried potato ; fried toufu ; cold soba ; etc.
I especially loved the soft shell crab handroll that i have eaten in their outlet once. The crisp hot soft shell crab when combined with the rice plus seaweed tastes simply fantastic. However, to my dismay, this time round the soft shell crab is not hot at all.
The same goes to the fried toufu and potato. I was pretty disappointed with the food, as i have waited for approximately 30 mintues and yet the food that were served were COLD!
Overall, i feel that their japanese food is pretty normal and decent, they would have fared better if they ensure that their food is warm. This i feel, will be able to give customer a better impression.
claudsaid: I hate it too when I wait so long for my order but its served cold! At times I feel like asking them to change, but considering the wait time, I just had to do with the cold one. Sad. 28 Dec 2007 at 1:49 pm

I have this sudden craving for tapioca, a very strong craving thats it. So, when i saw this Bali Thai with a takeaway counter, i jumped up with joy literally. For i know, they will definitly carry their popular dessert -- steamed tapioca.
True enough, beside boxes of steamed tapioca, they also carry varieties of kuehs (mostly with coconut as part of the ingredients) as well as their another popular item -- mango sticky rice.
Priced at 2 dollars for a box of tapioca, you can get rather decent pieces of steamed tapioca. I liked the texture of their tapioca, its neither too hard nor too soft. It also has a chewy texture that will allows me to do some mouth exercise. :P
However, i find that the coconut dressing seems abit too diluted. You will not find those creamy coconut dressing there, instead its those watery coconut 'water' which hardly has coconut taste in it. Well, perhaps im so used to coconut cream in thai dessert so when i saw this coconut 'water', i find that it just could not tasted as good.
Overall, i find that their tapioca tasted rather average. If they can improve their coconut 'water', this dessert would definitely tasted much more better. Ohh, another improvement that they can make, may be the temperature of the tapioca.
By combining hot steaming pieces of tapioca with the cold coconut dressing, this steamed tapioca dessert will be the most wonderful thai dessert. Super Yummy!
Using yellow and black as the primary colours for this cafe proves to leave a strong impression on me. When i am at IMM this time round, i decided that i just have to try them out.
Waiting at the entrance of the cafe was a breeze, i did not wait for long before i was being introduce to a table. Due to the design of the cafe, some of the seats were placed just beside the walkway. This design, i feel that it seems a little dangerous for ladies to have their bags placed on the seats.
A word of caution to ladies is to have your bags placed on your laps instead.
Out of curiousity (wonder how hongkong curry will taste like?), i ordered their chicken curry with bread (you get the choice of either rice of bread). To my dismay, the curry does not taste good. First, the curry sauce is a bit too watery and definitely not spicy enough. Next, the potatoes are basically tasteless and rather hard to bite. A pretty decent amount of chicken can be found, but i find that the meat tastes abit of raw to me.
The bread were sliced quite evenly, but i feel that it will fare better if they have toast the bread in the first place.
Feeling rather disappointed with their curry, i ordered another main dish - black pepper chicken chop. This dish was orignially paired up with a salad but in the end it was replaced by an egg (a cold one somemore!) without the customer knowledge. Well, somehow i feel that it will be good to inform the customer earlier if they have run out of salad instead of just changing it without saying a word.
I pretty like the taste of the black pepper sauce (smell nice too) and it seems like a great combination when combined with the chicken meat.
Overall, i find that their food tasted rather disappointing. Perhaps, it will be good if i have sticked to their speciality dishes instead. :P
I was wondering what to eat in this just re - renovated anchorpoint when i saw this shop -- Food Anytime. This looks like a newly opened store with the congraulating flowers still placed outside their store. Since there issn't much people eating there, i decided to try them out.
Food Anytime is bascially a dim sum and dessert stall. Example of dim sum sold includes: Siew Mai, Zu Chang Fen, Glutonious Rice, Char Siew Bao, etc. Example of dessert includes: Yam Paste, Tang Yuan, Chestnut Corn, Almond Paste, Peanut Paste, Sesame Paste, etc.
So, i went to their shop and stood at the counter waiting for my turn to order my food. Having waited there for more than 5 minutes, the staff did not even bother to ask for my order. Ok, so i tried calling her over and only after several times, she decided to serve me finally.
I order the Zu Change Fen and i was told that i have to wait for 30 minutes. Ok, since i could not wait for so long, i order yam paste instead. Guess what was the answer? She replied: "It is not here yet". Was feeling pretty sad when whatever things that i ordered, none of them is available. In the end, i just choose two items which i think should be available -- Pumpkin Cake & Tang Yuan dessert.
The Pumpkin Cake is served in three pieces. Although the size were not very evenly cut, it look decent enough. One mouth into the pumpkin cake, it seems rather tasteless to me. Although there are quite a few of pumpkin pieces seen in the cake itself, but it still gave me a feeling of pumpkin is pumpkin and flour is flour kind of feeling (not able to mixed well enough to form pumpkin cake).
The Tang Yuan dessert is formed by 5 pieces of Tang Yuan in the peanut soup. You have a choice of sesame or peanut filling tang yuan. I can say their tang yuan is rather different from the normal kind of tang yuan and i like it. Although its a little smaller in size, i find that the tang yuan skin is rather smooth and thin.
On the other hand, i find that their peanut soup is not very acceptable. The pieces of peanut in the soup, i find them rather hard and not soft at all. Within the soup itself, i still can find pieces of peanut skin in them. The soup tastes kind of sweet but lack of peanut taste.
Just by savouring two of their products, i find that they do not seem to be able to mix the flavours of their ingredients together well enough. Perhaps they may have other nicer food which i have yet to try. Probably i may give it a try again, however i will definitely not bring my overseas friend to there. :)
Bobosaid: Huh sounds like a bad exp... :P But was it expensive? 07 Feb 2008 at 10:51 am
Great Sagesaid: hmmm... i guess its about the normal price one would pay at those dessert store. If i remember correctly, the tang yuan peanut soup costs around 2.5 to 3 bucks. Hope this helps. :) 10 Feb 2008 at 7:45 pm
