Located in the newly re-furbished basement of Bugis Junction, Sweetalk sells beverages at affordable prices which a as low as $1.50!
In comparison to other bubbletea outlets in a popular shopping mall, $1.50 for a 200ml cup of beverage is rather commendable. Not only is Sweetalk's bubble tea affordable, it is also very tasty! Contrary to popular beliefs, afforability does not equate to poor quality, and Sweetalk (Bugis Junction) very much lives up to that reputation! Their teas are not excessively diluted to begin with, which allows for a certain amount of ice to melt off without diluting the whole beverage. THAT is what people are looking for.
When asked, my classmate said, "I prefer Sweetalk at Bugis Junction because their standard of bubble tea is constant and i'd willingly pay $1.50 to enjoy it."
Sweetalk (bugis junction) also has a very open concept in which customers or any passers-by will be able to look in and witness for themselves how the interior or the counter looks like, which does not allow for them to be unhygienic under any circumstances.
Personally i've been there tons of times and i can guarantee the consistency in the high standards of their beverages, and the proper hygiene in the environment in which the beverages are made, which really gives me a peace of mind as a consumer.
A worthy little investment for a worthy little indulgent!
I was sick for a week and was really wrecking my brains for something to eat. A friend suggested Vietnamese food and we went to Le Viet. I'd walked past this place many times and never stepped in to try the food.
Simple and modern decor. It had this nice water tank running along the side of the restaurant. There were guppies and goldfish swimming about it. When we got there, they had just put fresh food in so all the fish were coming to the surface. It was certainly nice to look at.
There were few people there that weekday evening. So it wasn't too noisy. Just right with a few tables occupied.
There was quite a variety and being a noob to vietnamese food, I spent a lot of time poring over the descriptions....
Food Ordered:
Goi Cuon - Fresh Rice Paper Roll ($6) There were 3 rolls and you had a choice of chicken or pork. We picked chicken. The shredded chicken was wrapped in a paper thin translucent skin with vermicelli, beansprouts and basil. I liked this very much. It was light yet savoury. Bun Ga Nuong - Dry Vietnamese Vermicelli w Chicken ($8.50) This arrived looking like your regular Kueh Tiao with Grilled Chicken. But flip it and you'll find a host of crunchy vegetables right underneath! Toss it well and you have yourself a savoury noodle salad! Yummy!!
Pho Bo Thap Cam - 3-in-1 Mixed Noodles ($8.50) My friend had this with slices and beef balls. You can choose 2 out of 3 options and those were his choices. I didn't eat this because I'm not a fan of beef. But the soup was very very tasty!
Including drinks our bill came u to about $30 (and a little more) which I find pretty reasonable. Every thing was served fast cos it's not too hard to prepare... and the service was satisfactory.
I took a day off to enjoy the high tea. There was a complimentary voucher for it so I went there.
We arrived slightly early and were shown to our seats. For a weekday, this place wasn't that empty. The variety at the buffet was enough to tantalise my food buds. When the accidentally dropped a receipt on my plate of nachos, they took it away. I would have appreciate a new plate but where got high tea got waiters replace, right?
I enjoyed the high tea thoroughly and would like to go back there again once I have another pair of vouchers though.
It is always not too good to have too high expectations of a place because the expectations the bigger the disappointment will be. Having saying that, it happens to this place. I have heard a lot of people telling me this place has one of the best Japanese buffet in town and it is worth the money, and it has been one of the places that I wanted to go and give it a try. The chance came when my partner invited me to join her colleagues for dinner there. So a big group of us went, not to say that one of her colleagues is a big fan of that place.
The restaurant is hidden in the first level of the hotel, if not for the Japanese style of door way, it is a blink and miss place. Once walked inside, I was surprise by how small the whole place is. It looks like those Japanese old cottages. There is a few traditional tables where you have to take off your shoes and sit. A number of small tables with small sets and the rest of the seats are bar counter seats. For a big group of people like us, we have to squeeze as well. If you are big sized like me, you will definitely knock to the person sitting next to you. Advice is to go in a group less than 10 people.
Next, is the food. The menu is cramped with words, no pictures. So if you expect to order by pictures, you will be sorely disappointed. At times, I just go by my guts to order as well. There is a lot of food to offer from sushi to sashimi to bento to soba etc. Lots of them in wide and different variety as well. They also served a few items as starters first, like smoked salmon. A mini seafood paper steamboat where the soup base is too salty. A miso soup that came in a tea pot and have to squeeze in lime juice as well, quite refreshing for that.
In a big group, there is confusion over ordering of food as the waitress just came with the food and we also not sure if we had ordered the food. Since it is a buffet, we just eat whatever is placed on our table. In other words, it can be a mess!
Sashimi’s lover would loved this place! Their variety is a lot and they came in big portions, not to mention that the slices came in very thick slices. Hmm… but not very fresh. Too bad I m not really a big fan of it. They got limited sushi chooses but I am not too impressed with their sushi as well. I have tasted better ones elsewhere. The rest of the food can be quite forgettable. Their tempera, again a lot of variety, from prawns to mushrooms, was quite ok nothing to wow off.
One funny thing did happen when I was ordering chicken cutlet, they asked me how many cuts I want. I thought in terms of how many full cutlets they mean. In the end, it turn out their cuts means how many slices I want. A bit … …
Their service can be quite slow and there was periods of time that we got no food and when we tried to order, their waitress always seem busy with other things or other people. As their tables are quite small, they also slow to clear the plates as well. Think they could have done with more help.
Seems that the place is quite popular as it was packed by 8pm and even the counter seats are packed like sardines. Like they say it is always better to make reservation for the place.
At a cost of $33 plus plus plus, in the end it was $38.80 per person. Personally, I think it is not worth the money and I would rather spend the money on other sushi places. Not to say because of my high expectations of the place, I was sorely disappointed and dun think I will be back to this place unless someone is giving me a treat. Hmm… so Sushi Teh any one?
Talk about pizza in Singapore and the first name to jump at you will be Pizza Hut. However, there are quite a variety of other offerings out there yet to be noticed or even recommended. Most are targeted at niche markets instead of the usual crowd and honestly, i think Pizza Hut is charging a little too much these days. In comes New York Pizza, more casual and easy going then Pizza Hut, and also decidedly Halal so it can be enjoyed by even more people. Lets have a bite and find out if its a contender shall we?
Simple and gets the job done. The location is alfresco and thats about all there is to it. I wasn't very happy that i'd have to stay in the sun and get all comfy with it and the fact that there's a noticeable waiting time of about 10 minutes after you order makes it look less palatable
The container - Do not let the picture fool you. This is not a small piece of pizza at all. To put it in perspective, think about the length of pizza huts biggest pizza and you get the idea of how long this is.
Queens Meal = Pepperoni Pizza Chicken Wing Pepsi ($6.90) - Queens meal, nice name though it belies the actual fact that its quite simply a big piece of pepperoni pizza with green pepper, pepperoni and bits of beef. The pizza itself is pretty big and can be split into 4 further pieces for consumption. Its crust is reasonable but very crunchy and crispy which is a refreshing change from pizza huts rather flour filled pizzas. The toppings weren't much to shout about however and i soon got sick of the same taste it offered. The chicken wing was strangely fragrant and sweet, not to mention piping hot
Hawaiian Pizza Meal ($6.90) - Its crust is alike with the pepperoni version which i suppose is the determining factor and difference it is bringing to the scene. Crunchy but a little overdone such that you could see the charred portions from over baking. The Hawaiian pizza is a little too sweet and easily overwhelmed after more then 3 bites into it. The ingredients used were also a little miserly when compared to other pizza places i got to try.
The lunch came up to $13.80 which can't be considered expensive. We did get very sick of the pizza after our 2 helpings so i don't think i will be returning.
I actually tried the place a long time ago when it first started. During that time i had the fish and chips and also tried its pizza burger. Both were pretty good and the fish and chips in particular had a wonderful fresh taste to it. During this visit, the machine was spoiled and thats why we settled for its less then optimal pizzas. Well, i wouldn't know if the fish and chips are any good now since i probably won't try it again. If anyone else tries, let me know if it tastes good alright? Cheers!
Mazazu Crepe is the Singapore franchise of the Japanese crepe chain, Mother’s Crepe and Cafe. It is located at 3 Temasek Boulevard #01-140 Suntec City Mall Singapore 038983.
My Dear & I were looking for FOOD at a late hour around 9pm and most of the stall were closed except this Crepe Shop. Normally pple will eat Sweet filling crepe, but for me… its a no-no. I prefer savoury stuff. They offered sweet and savoury fillings which suits my taste bud! I bought the Mushroom and Cheese to try. ;) It's Yummy!
Having heard from quite a number of people that the Japanese buffet here is good, I finally tried it!
But probably having heard so much about it, I hold pretty high expectaton on it.
The restaurant is a pretty small one & to hold the group of 12 of us was even a problem due to space constraint. So, do note that it's not a good place for large group gatherings.
The menu was a simple one which looked quite wordy at first glance. Although no pictures of the food items was available, they did provide English descriptions for some of the dishes. Otherwise, you'll probably need a regular patron to advise you on the dishes to order.
The service was a little slow, probably because the restaurant was quite packed with diners then. We splitted up into 2 groups when we placed our order but the food served was combined and this made it quite confusing for us & we ended up eating the wrong food. But anyway, since it's a buffet, we just ate whatever that's placed infront of us & ordered more if it's not enough. Haha...
The restaurant offers quite a good variety of sashimi. However, the quality of the sashimi was disappointing. It didn't taste as fresh and we could even taste that the fish had been frozen & thawed before it was served. My friend, who is a regular patron, noticed the drop in standard of the sashimi too.
Other than the sashimi, we tried their tempura too. Well, the batter was a little too heavy & it was quite oily. Unlike the tempura I had elsewhere which is light, crispy & not oily. So to say, their tempura was a disappointment.
After taxes, it came up to $38.80 for each person. I'm looking for better Japanese buffet elsewhere!
I'm a big fan of dim sum although I don't eat pork. Yes, dim sum is an exception for that. Haha... Heard that the dim sum served @ this restaurant is not bad, so decided to give it a try. Actually we were just trying our luck to see if they still serve dim sum, it was nearly 5pm, near dinner time then. But dim sum is still available! Hee hee.... Although a few of them were already sold out.
We ordered a total of 8 dishes as described below.
1. Pan-fried carrot cake This was the first dish served & it came hot. A thin layer of crisp on the outside. Good! Just a little oily.
2. Chicken feet This dish tasted quite normal. Not the best & not the worst that I've eaten. The dish also came with cubes of yam.
3. Prawn dumpling Skin was thin & with a generous serving of prawns. What's lacking was probably a suitable chilli sauce that will go well with it.
4. Xiao long bao Don't really like it as it has a porky taste even though I already ate it with ginger & vinegar. Lack of soup in the xiao long bao too.
5. Prawn with mango This is definitely my favourite! The mango was wrapped up in a springroll, deep-fried & dipped in mango sauce. Yummy!
6. Egg tarts It came as 4 mini egg tarts. "Beware! The filling is hot!!"
That's the warning we got from the waitress. Yes, she's right! Not only was the filling hot, it was soft & good. The crust was light & crispy.
7. Glutinous rice Two relatively big balls of glutinous rice wrapped up in lotus leaves. It came with quite a good portion of chicken & rice.
8. Chicken in paper bag Not bad, quite nice. But I think it'll be nicer if they use other parts of the chicken too instead of just the wings.
The bill came up to about 40 bucks after a 10% discount. To me, I think it's quite a reasonable deal. The service was really good! The waitresses just kept refilling our ice water & hot tea and they were very friendly.
It is kinda small & has only 24 seats in it. Expect to wait for your food though. We waited more than half an hour before our food came. But it is fine if the food is good. There were quite a number of French expatriates, looks like the food is authentic.
As I wasn't hungry, I didn't want to take a main course. I asked for half a dozen of its Escargots (S$10.90). The dish is so-so. We were given a small basket of freshly baked sliced bread.
We shared a Confit De Canard (Duck breast, S$25), the cafe's speciality. Oh my, it is simply out of this world! The duck meat just fell off the bone and it tasted heavenly. The skin is so crispy, and there is a layer of fats which practically melts in your mouth. Oh, I never expect duck fats (I like deep-fried pork lard too) to taste so good. This is a must-order dish. You must order this.
Next for dessert, we have a slice of Apple Cheese Cake (S$6). The taste is not too bad. Not too sweet and the cheese was not overpowering. The apple and cheese tastes good when eaten together.
There's a wine and dine set dinner (S$48 nett per person). You get a glass of wine, starter, main course, dessert and a drink. Their daily set lunch is S$18.
I chance upon this eatery one day in Geylang. It looked dirty and cramped, but it has an awesome crispy roast pork! The meat is savoury and the crispy skin is crunchy like biscuits. The roast duck is deboned and is beautifully done.
It offers a delicious black sauce that you can spoon over your rice or the meats. Must remember to ask for that.
I bought for my hubby as he loves roast pork. As he was busy, he had his roast pork after 5pm. The roast pork was still crunchy despite being wrapped up and in the air-con room for 3 hrs!
Boss Boon Cheng is taking orders for this CNY Eve dinner, a roast duck (S$20), chicken (S$15) and 1kg of roast pork (S$20). Collect before 1pm.
He also sells roast suckling pigs but as the prices of piglets have been soaring, he's not selling them this CNY.
