I am a fan of TCC.... I simply love the nice comfy seats and warm ambience. Every TCC seemed like a sanctuary for me to spend a lazy evening chatting with my friends or simply just read a book. I simply love the whole feel of this place.
Not to forget the great selections of beverages they have. I am always amazed by the new creations like the NUTELLO... which is a shot of expresso with nutella smeared all over this nice oval short glass... Its drives you NUTS.... with its nutty taste and mind you.. this innocent looking beverage is simply delectable. IF you are a chocolate lover, this is the one drink for you. It combines the beautiful smooth nutella chocolate spread with potent expresso... The provide a small spoon for you to nibble and scrape the chocolate. Really fun and unique.
Bursting flavours from two ends of the world. Your taste buds will be so amazed by the bitterness of the premium coffee and the sweet sweet chocolate spread.
This is the best fried chicken in the universe...really out of this world!!! Situated in a little corner at City Plaza, little would any one know that this place exist. City plaza is known for clothes and ladies apparels, not fried chicken. But after getting a taste of Arnold's fried chicken, you will not want to eat fried chicken from any other fast food outlets any more.
Simply put, the chicken is cooked only when you place the order. It is fresh, not frozen or pre-heated. So expect to wait a little longer when you place your order. But when it arrives, you will have the time of your life with the juicy and tender meat and the crispy "real" chicken skin. Not like the other chicken skin that makes you feel like you are eating fried flour.
The 1/2 spring chicken is $4.90
This is enough for one person. The fried buns are also freshly fried so they are piping hot when they reach the table.
Seating and service is average. But the fried chicken makes up for it all. Do come early about 6:30pm. Arrive after 7pm and you will have to queue. Yes, you will be given a queue number and will have to wait. But you can place your order first so that once you get your table, food is served soon after.
They also have fish and chips but the place is not called Arnold's fried chicken for nothing. Stick with the Fried chicken....simply the best. Is there an option to put 10 stars?
If you like paus, you must try this humble looking stall....
They make their dim sum on the spot, with fresh ingredients. I was attracted by the fact that a small stall can house so a mini dim sum production team... The prices were really reasonable and the paus were delicious...
I tried the char siew pau. and it was bursting with flavour. The thin, soft and chewy pau skin with generous fillings is a must have for breakfast. Very very nice...
When i sink my mouth into one of the char siew paus immediately i could feel the skin melting into my mouth and the flavours of the char siew fillings waking my tastebuds. It is saucy yet not too wet and the texture is a little chewy and chunky... Very very delicious.
Next i must mention is the red bean pau. The filling so smooth and generous... Oh.. very very nice.. Thin and soft skin unlike those in which you finish 80% of the pau then you find a tiny bit of dao sao. THis one is filled with red bean at least 70%. Red bean paste so SMOOTH, just right in sweetness, SOFT and Slightly Wet is just right for all RED BEAN BUN FANS out there....
The other dim sums were very very nice as well.... You MUST TRY THEM.... Really DELECTABLE.........
Nicely tucked away from the vibrant Thomson Road is this humble looking building undermining the glamourous treasures it possesses.
There are a couple of famous stalls there at this 1 level hawker food centre... Perhaps a regular haunt for food lovers. The basement is a market and upper levels are sheltered parking. How convenient yar...
Let me introduce to you some of my favourites......
Stewed Duck Rice.. Simply delicious. This franchise has branches all over Singapore and the one that i frequent is at Liang Seah Street.
Char Kway Teow... Nice, generous plate of this singaporean favourite with fresh cockles deliciously stir fried till perfection. Got to wait, so if you want a taste of this fabulous local delicacy, have patience. Try also their freshly made Orr Tah.... A dollar a piece but its value for money. Very yummy.....
Next to the char kway teow stall is a Pau store. Freshly made paus with delicious fillings that is ozzing with flavourful sauce when you sink your teeth into them. Really really good and fresh. Can buy more for supper and breakfast.
Poh Piah.. This uncle's poh piah is simply the best. Healthy serving of fresh veg and nice crunchy stuffs he put inside. Juicy Crunchy appetizer.
Prawn noodles Soup or Dry...... Really good. huge prawns and soup so sweet you will leave a truly empty bowl.
Our all time king of the queue.... Muffins. This muffin stall trains our patients featuring a good variety of high quality YUMMY muffins at value for money prices. I personally recommend the double chocolate and my dad loves the cheese one. He can eat 6 of these muffins for tea break.... thats with LUNCH before and DINNER afterwards....
You can NEVER MISS IT.... The AROMA is to DIE FOR........
For other delicious food, Be there to find out......
"Tau Sar Piah at Balestier Road is the Best......"
Have you ever heard of such a comment?
Well I have...... and i hear it all the time. That is so because people around me like my mama, papa and etc etc etc. loves it. This traditional pastry brings alot of good childhood memories for them and for me......... i just want to gobble them up, less the calories of course.
And so, the story goes....
On a faithful weekday afternoon, I was out 'eating snake' and because it was cool after the cats and dogs have all fallen, i wound down my windows while driving leisurely at balestier road heading towards the PIE.
While making sure I do not kiss the butt of the car in front of me and checking out the other cute drivers, something TINGLED my senses.... It was a familiar yet surprising aroma. It was that nice buttery aroma that reminded me I WAS ON BALESTIER ROAD.... Subsequently i saw a banner box written on it " TAU SAR PIAH" so immediately i tarik the car into the carpark next to it, just when i was about to miss the opening and drive into the shop.
The aroma itself is enough to convince you how SHIOK it will be to sink your teeth into these pastries... I approached the shop with much apprehension... I was afraid i had to queue but i was in pretty good luck because NO MORE QUEUE. So happily i started browsing through the various items they have.
I had to say.. the shop was neat and clean with a welcoming ambience. There were various flavours of tau sar piahs and even other pastries like chicken pie, apple pie, char siew pau, flavoured Breads, cookies and my favourite Kueh Boo LOO...
Then i realise some flavours are out of stock so i asked the lady and she said gently SOLD OUT... GOT TO WAIT IF YOU WANT MORE... Uh HUH.. thats why no queue anymore lor... So i just chose those that were left quickly.. before somebody else buys them.
I chose some tau sar piahs of assorted flavours, other pastries and a bag of Kueh Boo LOO and brought it home, hoping to curry favour my daddy, mummy and etc etc etc... These warm UFO looking pastries are very powerful... Even more powerful then my Double Dose of ambi pur... making me hungry all the way home...
I truely understand what it means by BAKED TILL PERFECTION when i saw the pastries.
Nicely shaped, freshly baked, salivating aroma, flaking buttery skin that melts right away in your mouth, leaving crust at the edges of your lips for other to oogle at....
I am truly considering joining them as a QC inspector......
Oh.. not to forget the generous fillings which are full of flavour and just right in sweetness. These little treasures are of such a size that one is definitely not enough, two is perhaps just right, three is when i'm not too hungry, four is a blessing.. but more is what i need.
My daddy loves the durian flavoured piah. He commented he never tried such special flavour of tau sar piah and the flavour is so strong but yet not as sweet as the traditional durian Kueh, and had all 3 of them leaving NONE for me.
Mum loves the Black Sasame piah. She says its of good nuitrition, helps produces more black hair and it was unique in every delicious way.
Etc Etc Etc prefers the nice, thick, smooth lotus seed and traditional red bean piahs. It brings back much mid autumn festival emotions that they started to play with sparkles.
I love the traditional salty and sweet tau sar piahs. They fillings are smooth and generous. Most importantly it does not stick to your teeth like most grinded tau sar. It simply melts in your mouth... And the Apple Pie. i bought it because its HUGE, bigger then my PALM.. looked Soooo CUte.....
The chicken pie was also soooo good.... Flaky crust with chunky filling so chicken cubes, some veg with delicious sauce.. The pastry is not thick at all but yet it can hold much sauce inside.
HUMBLE PIE BURSTING WITH FLAVOUR......
The curry puff, not for the faint hearted or weak stomachs. It is spicy... very very suitable for those who love the excitement of RED HOT CHILLI. THe fillings look innocent with hardly any signs of chilli. But it is SPICY.... Fills your tastebuds with that exotic explosion of spice and flavour. Guarantee your nostrils smoking.... It is definitely a MUST TRY...
Not forgetting the Kueh Boo Loos. I kept them for breakfast and they are still crunchy.... yet soft and nice on the inside. Goes so well with my pipping hot Coffee O....
Really SHIOKING Start for another working day....
Prices are reasonable. From fifty cents one tau sar piah is what i call... VALUE FOR MONEY..... The apple pie and chicken pie is also a MUST TRY....
Buy more can keep, they are freshly baked, thats if you can tahan not to gobble all of them up right away. I give SHIOK SHIOK SHIOK SHIOK for this traditional pastry shop. Must try, BUY and RECOMMEND ah............
I stayed at Scarlet on 2 occasions. The first time was in Feb 2006. The room we had was great; it was spacious and reasonably priced, as they were carrying out the soft launch of the hotel. I recall that the room was on the first storey and that was the only room that had a "see-through" bathroom window. Great for romantic escapades. The downside was that there was not much of a view.
The 2nd stay was in Feb 2007 but I was actually a little disappointed compared to the first encounter. The room that we had was actually much smaller in size although we believe that we had booked the same category as we did during our 1st stay.
To my memory, I believe we had stayed at the premium grade during our first stay. In order to know what you are getting when making a reservation, suggest that you provide as much details/description and ask questions in making sure that you are getting what you want, unless you have no particular preferences for room.
The location of the hotel is close to a number of pubs around the club street area. There is also a maxwell market where a variety of food could be found. As for tourist attractions, there is a Buddha Tooth Relic temple which was officially open in 2007.
We suddenly have this craving for tau sar piah and knew that there were a few shops around Balestier selling them.
We have chosen 603 Tau Sar Piah as we saw quite a number of people queuing up to order. Some were actually waiting for their piping-hot and fresh from oven pastries.
We ordered some varieties such as yam, white lotus, durian, black sesame and the traditional sweet as well as saltish ones. This shop also sells pineapple rolls, chicken pies, both tuna and curry puffs as well as barbeque pork buns.
We liked the taste of all the flavors as the fillings are not too sweet or too saltish. The pastry for each tau sar piah was light and fluffy. We personally like the black sesame, yam and the pineapple rolls.
The black sesame filling was smooth and has a very aromatic taste when you bite into it. The yam filling was moist, soft and not so sweet. The pineapple rolls were fantastic with thin layer of buttery pastry wrapping around the huge portion of pineapple fillings.
The tuna puff tasted a little spicy. But the curry puff was very good with generous fillings of potatoes. The barbeque pork bun was also delicious as we could taste the sweet and smoky sauce and the meat filling was tender and easy to bite.
All items were freshly prepared and with such liberal ingredients in their pastries, we would recommend to anyone craving for such snacks.
*bleah* that dude goes there every week tt they actually know him by name! I just name drop his name now whenever i go there!
M-C-C to be is a nice place fer cheap food with the cafe-feel and BIG portions.
I much prefer another place along East Coast Road where the food's cheap and good!
M-C-C's food is alright. Ambience is better than coffee shop lah. Service varies from time to time, but generally helpful and friendly. Love the menu...good variety. Call to reserve esp on weekend evenings
C'est Bon which means 'it's good' in French. This shop is inspired by that they make it a little easier and unique, for people to remember and pronounced it by anglicized the phrase and added a 's' at the back.
Their menu is simple and clear cut - Soups, bread, crepes. I sampled their wild mushrooms soup. Not creamy but it has a very fresh and smooth taste. You can just drink it without using a spoon to stir or scoup to drink. So, their packaging for soup is a disposal cup, not bowl with spoon. I bought the seafood bisque as their wild mushrooms soup was sold out when I went back after a movie around 9pm plus. They have tomato soup and broccoli & cheddar soup too.
I will try their crepes and focaccia bread some other time coz I do not have anymore space in my stomach except for the soup. :p
I heard about this Japanese French Restaurant from my Sis, so I went down to their new branch at marina square with my fren.
There was a queue at dinner time. But they are fast and systematic, so my Fren & I din wait for too long. BTW, while waiting, they will serve you coke. Heeheee.
We wanna try their fried tofu but it’s sold out. Alot of the appetizier were sold out, so the waiter recommended us their calamari.
It was not as good as what the waiter said. It’s too salty, no kick. The dipping sauce is the those Japanese potato salad cream. Not suitable for this. It should be tartar sauce. However, if you eat the sauce on it’s own, maybe U will like it. ;P As for me, I like the spring onions and french onions taste. But it really din go well with the salty calamari.
My fren ordered Spaghetti alla neapolitan. The serving is big. My fren gave me some portion of hers to try. I find that it’s a bit spicy, maybe becoz of the green bellpeppers. The sauce is bery “tomatoes”. Not diluted. The black pepper sauages is not too hard, well done.
While for me, I ordered something which I dun really ordered coz normally they tasted horrible but I am willing to give Pasta de Waraku a chance to prove me wrong ~ Carbonara, the waraku style. Yes! It’s Oiishi!!!! Not too creamy, the taste is just right. With the blend of the egg yolk, it’s very smooth. Very different from the normal carbonara which gives me a ’sick’ feeling after eating it. I FINISHED the whole plate, including the sauce. :D Yeah, I also offer some of it to my fren to try. She likes it too!
Before our appetizer and main dishes are served, they will serve us free salad too. :p
