If you love Kong Bak Pau.. (Braised Pork Bun) then WESTLAKE should be a farmiliar name to you. Being the winner of the excellent food award, westlake sends their braised pork bun everywhere. Many might have tasted their yummy buns but had never seen or eaten in the restaurant before.
WESTLAKE, a very old yet very good restaurant serves fabulously YUMMY traditional chinese food in every style. It is situated at the OLD HDB houses at queen's street in between farrer road and bukit timah road. Humble looking yet thriving with customers. I especially loved the outdoor sits as during a cool day, you could really enjoy the nice breeze, have your chinese tea and delectable crabs as well as the wonderful attention of the many waiters and waitresses... I could say their service is fast and good. For traditional chinese restuarants, i always face the problem of catching the attention of the waitresses and they usually come with an attitude. But here at WESTLAKE.. it seemed so different.
I also love to order the braised pork bun and usually have to DA BAO some back home. The soft moist buns filled with tender dark squares of glistening plush belly meat in tasty dark sauce is simply too irrisistable. I love how juicy it was when i bite into it while the meat is thinly slices and it simply melts in your mouth. These buns are not small... They are actually pretty huge when compared to other pork buns.
If you like chinese food, this is really a place to go. I would suggest go ALFRESCO if you can. There are also many other dishes like dim sum, crabs, hot and sour sichuan soup which are all yummy to choose from.
Food so good... its hard not to recommend my friends there......
If you like fishing, there are just a few places to go to in singapore. One of these places will be West Lake Fishing Village. There are plenty to do there instead of just fishing for fishes, you can also fish for prawn and there is arcade and snooker or pool for the entertainment of the entire family.
They are open almost 24 hours but you can either fish for a 4 to 6 hour time slot or get the 12 hour slots.... I tried fishing there once for the overnight fishing. It is an interesting place especially during weekends. You can see anglers using all sorts of tactics and baits just to capture those poor fishes.
You must note the time when they release the fishes from the cages as these fishes come hungry.... Everybody is busy and it is an excellent place to meet fellow anglers and exchange experiences and tactics.
Most fishes there are KIM BAK LOR... but there are some other species but very sparse.. I really nice place to hang out if you would just wanna relax and try something different other then cheonging every night.
They sell almost everything at the small shop there.. baits, accessories and rental of rods......
We would visit this authentic Japanese buffet once awhile to satisfy our hunger pangs. The layout has changed quite abit, with the sashimi, crabs and prawns nearer to the entrance, and the kaminabe (paper steamboat) right at the back. I suggest you to reserve the seats if you are going as a group. The queue during weekends would go quite long.
Tepanyaki: Try its cream dory fish. I am very sensitive with the 'muddy' taste but this one is fresh and the meat can be removed layer by layer. Perfect to dip in wasabi sause or mayonnaise
Miso soup: I can go 2 servings for this. It isnt too salty, flavour is just right. Remember to add the seaweed and tofu by the side of the soup pot
Snow crab: A must-have in the restaurant to make your money worthed. The crab meat is sweet and juicy. We usually would go for at least 10 of those.
Beverages: Be pampered by the wide selection of drinks, from over 10 varieties of tea to the cappucino/mocha dispenser, to soft drinks and others.
The restaurant can get quite noisy as the seats are well packed. We can actually hear the conversation of the couple seating beside us. The distance between us is only a footstep apart.
I would have certainly missed this shop if i did not exist from the citylink mall today. Located in a pretty non strategic location (personal feel), generally there are fewer people patronizing this store as compared to those stores located inside the mall.
Qi Ji restuarant basically sells its food at an afforable and reasonable price. Whats more? They also believes in providing their customers with a good place to enjoy their food. Thus, their resturant is airconditioned. However, please do not expect waitress to serve you as they are going by a self service basis.
One of the most famous food in their shop is definitely their nasi lemak. However their nasi lemak is not similar as those sold in hawkers where you get to choose the side from a wide varities of dishes.
Their nasi lemak are sold in sets where each sets have different side pre allocated to it. For example set 1 consists of ikan bilis, egg, fish fillet, sausage and otah. Set 2 will consist of different combination of sides. Altogether, they have four different sets of nasi lemak to choose from, definitely will have that will suit your taste.
Another must try food is their famous popiah. Why i call them famous? Because this popiah have been adveristed in various newspaper and magazines. This is a must try dish for me whenever i partonise qi ji.
I particularly like the 'just right' combination of the fillings. No, you will not only see muang kuang (turnips), you get to taste the a pretty decent portion of vege, peanuts and eggs.
One good thing about their popiah is that, the fillings will not soak thoroughly through the popiah skin and makes it soggy. Im also quite impressed by the way they roll the popiah, somehow it just managed to keep the fillings intact till they end it in my mouth.
Tried also their mee siam which i find it pretty normal, not too much of an exciting factor in it. I think the portion is abit too little, not very filling i can say.
Ohh, if you decided to try out their food one day, do remember to try out their chilli padi. One of the best chilli padi that i have ever tasted with nasi lemak, it has never failed to enhance the flavour of the food.
Challenger is a popular chain with a few stores around Singapore. They sell computers, computer peripherals, mobile phones, televisions, etc.
Dropped by today to get a webcam for my sister. They have quite a selection there from those "branded" ones to the lesser known ones. Needless to say there's a range of prices to suit your budget.
I found what I needed then proceeded to look for Data transfer cables... I went over and saw a whole rack of it... I didn't see the kind that I needed and asked the salesperson about it. He then pointed to the same rack I had just walked from. He made no move to walk over and show me which one.
Thinking that I might have remembered wrongly, i just took one that said data transfer... and consulted him again (I walked over to where he was) then he said... 'ya ya this is the one." I explained my purpose to him again and he just nodded his head. Then I explained how I used to see that there was a box thingy... then he gave a puzzled expression, walked away without saying anything and consulted a lady nearby. The lady replied loudly, "no stock no stock"
I very nearly bought the wrong thing because he refused to listen properly and had poor product knowledge.
This outlet is not as well stocked as the rest as it's much smaller... it also seemed like it had more LCD TVs then computer stuff...
Was in marina area pretty early in the morning looking for some nice food. However, most eatery will not open till late morning, thus we decided to settle for this dim sum shop -- bao jin tian.
When i actually see their signboard 'bao jin tian', the first thing that came to my mind is justice bao? (as their pronunication is rather similar). Funny right? Well, in actual fact they had really themed their shop based on justice bao legend.
Their shop setting is based on the looks of a chinese tea house. So, wooden tables and chairs has become a trade mark in this shop. However, no free tea is served. (you have to pay for the pot of tea)
Arrangement of the seats are pretty cramp. When i got a seat inside the shop, i almost regret it immediately as theres bascially no space for you to get into the seats. A word of advice: please get those seats along the walkway, they have better leg room space and you won't feel like sardines!
The uniqness of this shop is that they offer rather interesting baos. These interesting baos are actually named upon famous characters in the justice bao legend. One of them is Ma Han which has a dark coloured dough make by black sesame (resemble justic bao black face?) with chicken and asparagus as its fillings.
Another bao which i think its worth mentioning is defintely its half meat bun. This is actually my first time eating the half meat bun and its totally different from those normal baos. Its actually a piece of flour dough with fillings like chicken, mushroom, chinese sausage, salted egg yolk placed on top.
Rather difficult to eat them while ensuring that those fillings will not keep dropping off. However, i find that their flour dough is rather thick and dry. Well, perhaps its the way how a bao should taste like, but i guess its really not to my liking.
Tried some of their normal dim sum like the glutinous rics in lotus leaf which i find it abit too sticky (rather irritating when the rice keep sticking to my teeth). Tried also their shao mai with fish roe. Guess the interesting part in the additional fish roe placed on top of the shao mai but i still find them pretty normal.
Their shark fins dumplings are abit too dry to my liking and their deep fried mango and prawn roll is way too oily.
Overall, i feel that their dim sum is only at the ok range (not expectionally delicious kind). However, i am pretty impressed by the varities of dim sum available (more than 30 different types of dim sum). Try them out if you are tired of the normal kind of dim sum but just do not expect too much on their quality.
Kobayashi is a small fast food outlet tucked away on the second level of Eastpoint Shopping Mall (near the lift lobby).
It serves up cheap Jap food (priced between $5-$14). They have plenty of one dish meals and some bento sets, along with ala-carte side orders. Their system is really like a fast food restaurant where you have to go to the counter, order and get your food immediately.
Food we ordered Chicken Katsudon (Fried chicken with rice and egg) Chicken Katsu Ramen (Fried chicken with noodles in soup) Beef Ramen (Beef with noodles in soup) Ice Green Tea
The Chicken Katsu was very crisp and tasty. The rice was soft and slightly sticky, as what is expected of Jap food. As for the Chicken Katsu Ramen, the noodles was fine. But the serving was small so my companion ordered a Beef Ramen after finishing his first bowl. They had more people then and the food became nasty. The ramen in the second bowl was overcooked and all stuck together... The beef was almost non-existent.
We paid about $20 and finished our food in under 20 minutes. It was ok but not really value for money. Good alternative if you're sick of Macs or BK...
With so many mooncake makers springing up suddenly, its not difficult to tell that the annual mooncake festival is just round the corner. Ok, frankly speaking, i do not have a fetish on normal mooncakes (those with yolks in lotus paste kind).
Perhaps that is the reason why i will look out for extraordinary mooncakes every year. This year, i highly recommend the golden mooncakes from goodwood park hotel.
These golden mooncakes are entirely different (in both looks and taste) from the traditional mooncakes. Let us first talk about their skin, normal mooncakes are either baked or snowskin, but the golden mooncakes's skin is actually in layered form and its crispy! Can you imagine that?
Crispy golden brown layered skin is the signatory of these mooncakes. Whats more? These layered skin do not seem to drop off when i tasted them. (pretty impressed about that)
There are basically two types of fillings for the golden mooncakes. One is of course the usually seen yam paste and the other is... their famous D24 durian! Yes, you hear it right. Its durian!!!
I have long heard of their durian in puffs and cakes form. However, this is my very first time to have heard of durian mooncakes. Nevertheless, they did not fail to impress me. I simply loved their durian mooncakes.
The fillings in the mooncakes is made of real D24 durian paste. Usually durian paste are mixed with cream to make them into a paste form. But this filling in the mooncakes is durians and only durians (no white colour cream found).
Before i even taste it, the fragent (only if you are a durian lover) durian smell has already surfaced. The combination of smooth durian paste and crispy skin basically just melted in my mouth. Fantastic. Eventually, I polished down 2 mooncakes in one go with getting sick of it. hehe.
This is my highly recommended mooncake for this year. Although prices are slightly at the high range (what you expect when it come from famous hotel?), its really worth to try it. Moreover, mooncake festival only occurs once a year. :P
They have rather limited quantity sold in their outlet everyday. This is to ensure the freshness and quality of their mooncakes.So please be there early if you want to get them. Great offer for uob and hsbc credit card members as they are able to enjoy extra discount on the mooncakes. So why wait anymore? Try them out today.
I was really surprised that there is such a fabulous place in an area so ULU...... I was told by my dad that i could get a good servicing for my car at the AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY shop just opposite the OLD TAMAN JURONG SWIMMING POOL.
And so, I went. It was easy to locate as they had a big LOGO stating GOOD-YEAR TIRES outside their shop.... It is huge. As i drove in shortly after lunch hours, there's this really nice guy that came to ask me how can he help. So i told him i want to do servicing and he asked politely if he could help me get my car on the plateform... I was already impressed....... So i alighted and stood by my car when another service personnel showed me into a large aircon sitting area with a pantry and coffee machine. I was very impressed.
After making myself a coffee, i got myself sitted in front of the LCD TV to watch some news and there were various magazines of every topic available to view. I was happie as i am sure I will not be bored while waiting.
There was a very clean toilet and power plugs if you need to use your lap top to do some work. Shortly afterwards, one guy came in to advice me on the car. He told me how he would service my car and asked if i wanted to change the tires as they checked and found them quite bald. So i agreed and they cleaned the tire areas and portion of my under carriage. On top of that, they also balanced my tires and fixed them to perfection.
I was very happie with the intense effort they put into servicing my car. They also carry a wide variety of products such as tires, RIMs, high end wipers, car washing and maintenence liquids, etc etc etc....
For the value for money and good job they do to my car, plus the very nice environment to laze while waiting with plenty of space to move about and beverages to keep you busy, it is hard not to recommend other car owners to visit them......
New York New York is an interesting place.. The beautiful interior designs sets you in a gluttony mood. Though some might get a huge headache with the vast array of colours and designs, it makes me feel rather westerny. I like their furnitures. and seat designs. Though some people might need a little courage to eat in a restaurant LOUD like this, no doubt that, we do see queues all the time.
I was there for early lunch and was glad i could get in without squeezing or queuing... I was seated pretty near to the kitchen and i've got pretty good attention there. I ordered Ribs.... and it was delicious. The serving was enough for two and the sides were great.
The RIBS are honey glazed on the outside till perfectly glowy and the meat was tender and juicy. I had ribs from elsewhere before and lousy ones are usually overcooked with meat so dry and hard on the inside or looked too dead pale on the outside..
But the ribs here were perfectly beautiful on the outside and YUMMY on the inside... I could say they have one of the better RIBS in town.... I would say the price is quite reasonable as the servings were huge. Really good for huge groups to go out together but not so good for business lunches as you might have difficulty talking to each other without shouting. The lightings were too warm if not shining onto the customer's faces and it made me pretty uncomfortable. But for the DELECTABLE RIBS.... perhaps its worth the experience.
