Be prepared for the lunch crowd and the afternoon sun, try to be there earlier to park your car, else you would have to walk a long way to the infamous stall.
$2 for a lunch is VERY reasonable, i mean, its hard to find places selling a bowl of noodles at $2. The portion of the noodles is abit little IMO, but as I stress again, its just $2. The chilli is good!
Heard of Tang Shui? Tang Shui can be considered as a chinese dessert. Unlike cakes, biscuits and chocolates, tang shui are usually in the form of water based and usually have benefits of reducing heatiness in your body.
Mei Heong Yuen is located in anchorpoint at alexandra. This particular shop is rather different from its neighbour as this shop has an oriental flavour decoration (take a look at their wooden table and chairs and you will know why).
This particular shop is pretty small thus chairs and tables are packed very close together in order to include the maximum number of chairs and tables. This tightly packed arrangement actually brought quite a bit of dis comfort to its customers (imagine seating very near someone whom you do not know).
Their tang shui varieties is not alot however those common ones you will find it there. Eg: almond hu, sesame hu, peanut hu, ginko barley, etc). These tang shui are served in a small pot (another oriential feel item as they have some chinese drawings on the pot itself).
One of their tang shui speciality is the mango dessert with strands of pomelo and tiny sagos. This combination of dessert gives a very refreshing fruity after taste, which i loved it very much.
Beside tang shui, mei heong yuen also sells some tim sum. Types of tim sum includes chee cheong fun, rice dumplings, yam cake and my favorite pumpkin cake.
Pumpkin cakes is actually quite rare nowadays, probably due to the tedious work to make it. Reason on why i love it compare to the yam cake is that pumpkin cake has leaves a sweet after taste. Try it and you will know what i mean.
Priced from sgd$2 for the tang shui and tim sum. Their portion is pretty small thus will not really recommend to eat it as a main course.
Do you know which place is most famous for its nasi lemak and which place will always connect with laksa? Should not be too difficult to guess right?
Holland Village is famous for its nasi lemak. Well, most probably its due to the channel 8 drama that has leads to its popularity. Katong is famous for its laksa, which is probably the place where laksa orignate from.
Imagine if these two pouplar is going to combine together, i believe customers will definitely loved it. I actually stumbled upon this particular store in Holland Village (usually very packed during lunch hour).
Its probably more of a coffee shop then a restuarant as there is no aircondition (which most restuarant have) and neither does it have nice chairs and tabled (restuarant should have them).
Due to the limited space available, tables and chairs are usually set up at the road side. Got to really bear with the vehicles smoke and noise at times. But who cares about all these when good food is right in front of you?
This shop basically sells only 2 types of food, that is the nasi lemak and laksa. What i like about their nasi lemak is the lots of varieties to choose from. Take for example, vegetable already consist of 5 different types in their menu (includes long bean, curry vege, cabbage, etc).
I particularly love their pork chop which is i think its marinated very well. Surprising it is rather soft and it gives a perpery after taste. Makes me craved for more.
However, i am pretty disappointed by its curry vegetables. I can only see two different types of vege in the curry which is the long bean and the cabbage. Not even a slice of orange colour carrot is seen.
Whats more, this curry vege is placed on a cooker to ensure the curry remains hot. But it turned out to be cold when i tasted it. I wonder if they put the cooker there just for illusion purpose?
What is the most determinant factor in the nasi lemak? Definitely is the chilli!! A good chilli will bring out the super taste in the nasi lemak and will make people come back for more. Their chilli is basically not hot at all and even have a sweet after taste! Just how can chilli be not hot at all?
Overall, i still think that their nasi lemak is not really that fantastic after all. Their portion of food is not enough to fill me up as well. Thus, i have to resorted to some more food after that nasi lemak.
I hate living in Woodlands because it is so far from everywhere but luckily, there are some form of compensation (or comfort they called it) when it comes to food.
Zai Lai (再来) Minced Pork Noodles can be found in S11 Coffeeshop situated at Blk 304 Woodlands Ave 1. It is one of the few stalls around Woodlands that dishes out minced pork noodles 24hrs a day. It has provided me an extra option apart from the prata 5mins away from me. It is also not hard to see why shift workers from Senoko, Marsiling and Kranji industrial estate often flock to this stall for their supper.
(Let's just call minced pork noodles as bah chor mee - BCM)
Their noodles have evolved over the years. Nowadays, the BCM are darker than what I used to get. The reason for this is due to more dark sauce being used instead of the normal soya sauce. It is also a little soupy than it used to be, but not to the extend like the mutant you find at Bedok 85. (I hate that soupy BCM to the core.) Much to the delight of a meat lover like me, they give alot more minced pork too!
One reason why I absolutely love their BCM, they cook their pork only upon ordering. I have tried BCM, and I realised quite a handful of stalls pre-cooked their pork. The problem is, pre-cooked pork tend to harden up and that doesn't taste good. This is something I don't get here, where the pork are nicely soaked in the boiling water. Tender... and fresh. Why fresh? They only take out a small bowl of minced pork every now and then to prevent over-exposure of the raw meat, I was told by the auntie.
There are other noodles too, for example their Teochew Dumplings Noodles, which is a little different from the usual Wanton Noodles you eat.
Is this the best BCM we can find around, let me be honest and say - NO! This is definitely not the best stall. Afterall, they have a morning cook and a night cook, sometimes their standards differ. I still prefer the good old traditional BCM which is dry. I find it a little soggy currently and next time I might ask for a little lesser sauce in my noodles.
My verdict? It's a tough call between Good and Average. Sorta dangling in between both.
No doubt it's not the best BCM around, I must admit that it is one of the better quick fix when one goes hungry in the wee hours. If you happen to go hungry around Woodlands, you know where to go and what to eat. This stall is definitely better than the other located at the infamous Woodlands 888. Zai Lai has a branch in Ang Mo Kio too, but I ain't sure where exactly.
Hint: I just took a 10mins walk at 3.30am to get myself BCM, and I have no qualms about it. It's worth the walk. I'm enjoying it while I post up this review. Yummylicious~
Noticed that small entrance flanked by the winding stairs and faced with a beautiful fountain? What goes on inside is not small, I assure you. I am not a regular at that place, but yet BarCelona is always the top choice automatically whenever friends and associates ask for suggestions.
Besides good companionship, what do I look for in a wine bar? BarCelona answers that part of my demands perfectly. All of these demands lies in the ambience, music, service, food, comfort and more. Is it really possible for BarCelona to provide all of these?
The friendly staffs are very good ambassadors to this bar. Unlike in some dance clubs, they are very attentive. The bar managers take a significant effort to chat up with customers and build a rapport with them. I think that's one of the main reasons why it is not difficult to spot the same few faces of returning customers.
And yes, for once you do not need to scream into the ears of your pal given the loud music elsewhere. So it's not hard to see why I still prefer BarCelona among the many.
Ambience wise, you can really let your hair down and chill out for the night. It's not one of those high society bars, so do away with the formalities. One one side, pool players like myself enjoy a good game while on the other, most would laze back on their chair and relax. Don't worry, no matter where you are the music can be heard loud and clear. I have forgotten to mention too, a few tournament pool players enjoy playing at BarCelona too.
Being al-fresco, how can we forget about the food? I just can't hold myself back from their Baked Mussels and Calamari Rings. The Spicy Topshell and BarCelona Fries (in-house menu) are also big attractions to me. One thing that impresses me the most is the Grilled Mixed Sausages. I ain't a big fan of grilled food because most that I've tried are often too dry and hard for my liking. That's not really the case for their sausages.
Years ago when I first stepped foot into BarCelona, there were plenty of blues music. I still remember Jack who used to play his guitar along with his wicked vocals. That's like 8 or 9 years ago? Nowadays, we see a little rock music action in BarCelona which does not really appeal to me that much. I still prefer that good old blues and jazz in such a lovely setting, without being distracted by the human traffic outside.
Additional tips? They don't charge exorbitant prices.
My verdict? Love it you must. Be it with a bunch of friends, or an evening date... However, I'll stick to 4 stars due to the music factor.
Has been craving for cheesy stuffs nowadays and my friend strongly recommend me to try out the Swiss Culture restuarant at Suntec, particular their cheese fondue.
This is actually my first time hearing of a cheese fondue (have heard of chocolate fondue thou). How exactly a cheese fondue is like? Is it the same as the chocolate fondue? Lots of question mark starts to float out of my mind. In order to satisfy my curiosity on the cheese fondue, i decided to go try it out.
Swiss culture is located near Suntec sky garden, frankly speaking its not really a prominent place as it took me quite some time to locate it. You can see quite a bit of greeneries over there which i believe is to serve the purpose of giving their customer a relaxing and smoothing kind of feeling. Perhaps this will let them enjoy their food even more?
The very first food that i have tasted is of course non other than their cheese fondue! This cheese fondue consist of 2 different types of cheese mixing together. It is served in a constant heating pot to ensure the cheese is in a smooth liquid form and do not stick together. Guess it will taste nicer when its hot.
The fondue is served with their homemade boule bread (something like french loaf). The bread is cut into small pieces so it will be easier for customer to dip in to the fondue.
I dipped my bread till it has fully absorbed the cheesy and this has made me hooked on the very first taste. I could not stop dipping after that. A very special fondue i can say but the price is abit steep given the limited side dishes to dip the cheesy.
Tried their cheese and mushroom pasta too, which i think it can be another must try food. Imagine the cheese has filling up the entire plate of pasta, and every mouth ful of pasta is mixed with cheese. This taste is simply amazing.
A word of caution, do not order too much cheese at one go as you may get quite sick after too much cheese. Definitely no go if you not a cheese lover too.
On my first visit to the salon, i was being served by the director. He was frank with his comments, and recommend me solutions to improve the condition. He also did a bob cut for me and i love it to bits! The style falls nicely without any blow-dry needed. The service, i dare say, is comparable to top-notch salons in town area.
Little Red Shop on the Little Red Dot? A pretty interesting name for a shop i can say, as i almost thought that they are selling all sorts of red colour stuffs. Well, then again perhaps its this interesting name that has made me want to try their stuffs.
Still wondering what they actually sells? Ok, a very big clue is they are formally called 611 tau sar piah cake shop. Yes, its the tau sar piah shop at balestier road. However, the original shop at balestier has ceased operation so they moved over to a new location at vivo city and give themselves a new name.
Beside the traditional salty and sweet tau sar piah, they have other flavours like lotus, green tea, coffee, pineapple and even durian! Despite soo many different flavours, their traditional tau sar piah are still the most famous.
The very first look when i saw their tau sar piah, i could not figure out what is soo special about them. Its lightly colour appearance makes me wonder if it is edible (well, usually tau sar piah are brownish in colour).
Though it does not have an attractive appearance, i still decided to give it a try. The crust actually give out a buttery taste and this makes me fall in love with it immediately. Another good point of their crust is that it is not overly flaky which makes it easy for one to eat it on the go.
The dark brown colour paste is a big contrast from the crust (in terms of colour) is blended till very fine and smooth. I pretty like the way they did their paste, kind of different from the rest of the tau sar piah i have savour before.
These small tau sar piah range from sgd $0.7 to 0.8 per piece. Right now, they are having a promotion where by a box of 8 traditional tau sar piah costs sgd $5.40 and comes in a traditional flavour box with an specially desgined gift tag.
Pretty good idea to have them as a gift.
The muffins from Chocolat N' Spice are fabulous. My dad can gobble up 4 at one time and he only love the CHEESE one.
Creamy lumps of cheese embedded in soft moist muffin with a crispy crust is simply too irrisistable. The other flavours like double chocolate, chocolate chip, banana, blue berry, orange peel, raspberry and pumpkin are nice too.
I personally also like the banana and pumpkin flavour. They do not use essence rather the actualy fruit to make the muffins and that made it exceptionally delicious.
The queue is always very long and sometimes we got to wait any extra 15 to 20 mins to get the muffins we want. But one thing i don't like is that you need to buy 6 to get a box. What if you only want to buy 4 as a gift to a friend. It only looks right if its in a box and the shop keepers insist you must buy 6 to get a box. I mean that unfair. Ain't that a little unfriendly to the customers...
Though the muffins are yummy, but the service is only so so.....
If you like pastries especially cheesy, creamy and rich kind, you must come to IKADA.
Humble looking bakery with exceptionally wonderful tasting pastries. I'm especially attracted to the blueberry cheese tart. FULL, RICH, CREAMY cheese fillings are the best I can never find anywhere else. The pastry is so crunchy yet crumbles apart when you bite into it softly. Buttery and oven baked till perfection for your enjoyment.
They have blueberry and chocolate versions of these tarts. Both taste sooo good, you can never be satisfied with one. Simply melts in your mouth.
The other products like breads and pies are very nice too. Fresh and just the right taste, neither too sweet nor too salty. The sweet potato bread is also very unique and tasty. Its just plain bread with fresh sweet potato creamy. You can still see the fibers but you can't taste the stringiness of the fibers. Its smooth and natural sweet. Very appetizing.
They also have eastern delights like piahs and moon cakes and other traditional pastries.
