Looking for food around VivoCity doesn't seem to be a difficult task. However, deciding what to eat can be quite a challenge! With so many choices to choose from, I got lost a couple of time. But yesterday was suprisingly easy for us. We saw a big board outside UOB promoting a One-for-one promotion at Modesto's and that's what we had for lunch.
We expected crowd at that place but to our surprise, the lunch crowd seemed to have missed this resturant. Hidden at a corner of Vivocity, its not one that many would chance upon while window shopping.
It was pizza and pasta for us girls. We ordered a regular Pizza Al Funghi (cos we thought the Mini would be terribly small) and a Spaghetti Alle Vongole.
Even though there wasn't much tables at that time, the order took quite awhile to come. I can understand why pizza takes longer time to come, but then it came before the Spaghetti! It was huge! (For the 2 of us.) We had 4 big slices of it and we didn't feel bloated cos the pizza was thin on the crust and the mushrooms on it was yummy!
The Spaghetti finally arrived while we were at our last slice of pizza. (That's abit too long for them to cook the pasta.) The look of it didn't quite attract us. And the taste was... not-so-bad. Probably cause of the pizza that was very delicious.
I would probably give the pasta a miss and just go for their pizzas. There're many other pizzas to choose from! Better go try it soon if you're a UOB cardmember! From Mon-Thur only.

|| QQ Rice @Square 2||
The one and only QQ Rice outlet originate from taiwan is now in Singapore. It is situated at Square 2 shopping centre which is conveniently located just on top of Novena Square MRT station.
As QQ Rice outlet is not situated anywhere near the MRT station exit, a long time is used up to locate its store.
It is tugged just outside the mall corridor. Can you imagine? If i never step out of the building, i may never find this shop.
After so much walking, thought i can finally get to eat the much awaited rice balls. Never expected thers is still a super long queue is waiting for me. ha.
A word of advice: Please do not visit the store during lunch time if you are not ready to wait.
Ok, from their signboard, you can roughly guess the type of food this shop is selling.
Ya, you are right!
They are selling RICE!!!
Mind you, is not those ordinary white rice that you often take for dinner. Their rice are really special. Special in the sense that every types of rice that they offer here actually has excellent health benefit in them.
Bascially, there are 5 different types of rice to choose from -- purple rice, brown rice, red rice, Ice Lake gourmet rice and mixed grain rice.
Well, you must be wondering what is so nice to eat these rice?? The interesting part is you get to add in 5 different ingredients into your rice.
Theres a range of more than 50 different kind of ingredients to choose from. Some examples will be ham, chicken, cabbage, corn, chicken floss, seaweed, etc.
After choosing your rice and 5 ingredients, they will proceed to wrap it up into a ball shape and packed it in a plastic bag. An innovative and fun way to eat rice. By shaping the rice to a ball shape will make the little bits of rice remain in tact till the very last mouth.
Whats more? Their proportion of rice and filling is just nice so you will get to taste the different types of fillings every single mouth.
The best part of this rice balls is that is rather affordable. Priced from a range of $3.2 to $3.9, depending on the type of rice that you have choosen.
Overall, this is a definitely must try place.
If you are rushing for time, these rice balls is a great pack and go food.
What's more, its portion its big enough to fill you up and most importantly it has lots of healthy benefits.

||Ya Kun Kaya Toast @Cathay Building||
Ya Kun Kaya Toast has quite a few franchises across the entire little red dot -- Singapore.
Although they have the same menu, the same ingredients, the food served to us will still taste bit different.
This is probably due to the individual chef skills.
This particular outlet is located on the basement floor of the cathay building.
Seats are always fully occupied thus locating a seat has always been a hazzle.
Recently, they have set up many more tables and chair outside of their shop. This is defintely a good move to accomodate more customers. Thumbs up!!!
OK, what is the most popular food to eat in Ya Kun?
One look at their signboard and you will know. Its defintely their famous KAYA TOAST.
What makes their kaya toast so famous?
Well, that definitely boils down to their homemade kaya.
This kaya is not only fragrant, it will leave a after taste that makes you crave for even more.
The best thing for this kaya is the 'not so sweet' taste. Good!
To curb your craving for more kaya, you can also purchase their kaya in bottle form. With that, you can use it on your everyday toast.
Next food to try will be their hard boiled eggs. The size of their eggs are really bigger than normal eggs. Almost thought that they are duck eggs. :P
Mixed with some added soy sauce and pepper, the eggs taste wonderfully delicious.
Overall, seating space over there is abit squeesy but guess that can be overcome by its good food.
Their staffs are friendly too.
Try it!!!

Fatty Weng is definitely one of the best "zhi cha" I've tasted! I've been visiting them every now and then for about 7 years and the food still tastes as good as ever.
Unlike most "zhi cha" places, you get to dine in an air-conditioned place, which is a huge plus. Service is fast and friendly too.
As for the price, I wouldn't say it's value for money though. A dinner for two cost me $30 . It's not surprising though, as there seem to be a lot of caucasian diners here.
Overall, a must-try!

Was there yesterday with group of people from Ping.sg. The place was erm... brightly and cutely decorated. But I was told by some of the people there that the night ambience is better, with the lights dimmer and the crowd is usually busy at night.
I spent quite a long time looking at the menu while waiting for more people to join the group. The menu was bright and colorful. Some of the colors were kind of mismatched. And it hurts my eyes reading it. (I wonder how its like reading it in dimmer lights at night...) They do have quite a wide variety of food at very reasonable price.
I ordered the Chicken Balotine for $8.80. Added $3 for the set which comes with either a salad/soup, a drink and a dessert. Or you can op to add $6 for the dessert to be upgraded to a B&J's ice-cream, which I thought was quite ex.
After few pieces of the chicken and mushroom in my main dish, I decided to add chilli to it. Yeah, it tasted better with chilli. I thought I was just picky about it, but after awhile, I saw quite a few of the people around me reaching out for chilli too! And confirmation with them was, yeah, the food could be better. (Maybe the chief wasn't in such a good mood and it affected the quality of food. Hmm...)

Dorothy Perkins has quite a few outlets in Singapore and is managed by Wing Tai Asia which also manages Topshop. G2000 etc. This particular one is in Parkway.
I like Dorothy Perkins as their clothing line is more sensible and evergreen. It's not overly quirky and overly fashionable items that become outdated easily. Within an outlet itself they tend to have clothing for every occasion. Their sizes run a little bigger so I wear size 6 instead of my usual size 8. The pricing of the items are generally alright, pretty much like Topshop.
This particular store in Parkway is my favourite as it's not as crowded as the rest and is always tidy even during a sale (as it is now.) I asked many questions and tried on 3-4 pieces and the salespeople were happy to answer all my questions, one of the benefits of an uncrowded place.

I too tried their XXXL Chicken Cutlet. It tastes pretty good, but it is really oily! Just looking at them preparing it makes you feel really guilty for eating such unhealthy food.
At $3 a pop, it is not exactly cheap too. I guess it's good if you got a friend to share the serving with.

IMO, botak jones is kinda over-rated. Not that I don't like it, but I've heard so many people talking about it and how much they enjoy it and all, but then, are the food really that good?
Yeah, the serving is huge and thus its kinda value for money. The thing I enjoy when I'm at Botak Jones (twice) is reading the menu! Have to give credit to the creator of the not-so-elegant-but-fun-to-read-menu. Bring one home if you want. They have lots! And I'm sure they'll photocopy new copies when the old ones wear off.
If you're hungry for beef patty or huge sausages, you can give botak jones a try. As they say, "They really don't care."

This one's is one of the few HK cafes that I like.
The service here is quick but friendly still. They see you at the entrance and serve fast. They're also quite alert when you need you something.
I usually order the Baked rice which is pretty good with a good serving of meat unlike some which you have to dig like crazy before finding any. The cheese is not cheddar thus it doesn't harden when served. Drink would usually be Red Bean Ice... This one needs some improvement as it's different every time it's served. Sometimes there's too much ice, sometimes it's too sweet.
Ambience-wise... it's fine if you sit inside but the other seats are very visible to the passers-by and some people are plain rude staring at what you eat as they walk past. Even worse if there's a queue and those people watch you eat as they queue.
Price-wise is slightly under $30 for two people so it's fine.

Montip is located at Century Square Level 1, near the information counter. It's a store selling a whole array of things from hair accessories to pencil cases to costume jewellery to bags.
Each design usually comes in an array of colours and there's always a huge variety of designs for each item they have. It's a girlie's haven really.
It's perpetually crowded and that's what keeps me away at times.
One caution though, the quality is not fantastic and it's equivalent to a similiar item at an "auntie" shop going for half-price. The thing is you pay for variety cos you might not get the colour you want at the cheaper shop. So test and check the items you want to buy carefully.
Also the shop assistants are not very helpful and sometimes seem very unwilling to help you cut the cable tie. But I guess it's a good thing they don't really come out of the counter anyway cos it's really cramp in the shop.
