I am lucky to get a free tasting of their Tau Sar Piah. I went to their shop yesterday with my Dear. There was a queue. Most of them bought the tau sar piah, but my eyes were on the super big Apple pie & the volcano buns. :) Din get to taste the apple pie but I got other stuff like durian fillings, lotus paste fillings, black sesame fillings, yam fillings, and original fillings tau sar piahs, plus chicken pie, volcano bun and tuna puff (which is sardine fillings actually).
I personally prefer the original salty tau sar piah. I am not sure if they do not have it or their's not my kind of taste. They are creative and innovative to try out different kind of fillings. Durian fillings to my surprise is not too sweet. It has a light durian taste. Not overpower. :)
The volcano bun which is the char siew fried/bake buns could taste better if there is some black pepper added. The taste is a bit too salty. Too strong for the crispy thin crust.
Tuna puff is not tuna fillings but spicy sardine if I am not wrong.
If you like japanese curry and something special, try this restaurant. Wakashachiya is very popular in Japan and there are always queues at their Japan restaurants.
Wakashachiya mainly sell curry udon. Types of flavours are crispy lotus chips, tempura ebi, tempura vegetables, breaded pork & chicken cutlet, egg plant and many more. If you're thinking udon is very big and sloggy, you're wrong. The udon is super "Q" and it blends well with the curry. The curry is not too spicy, and the udon just slips into your throat smoothly. The serving is very generous. Each udon curry cost ranges from $15 - $18. Die die must try the crispy lotus chip and tempura ebi (super big prawn).
Besides curry udon, they have rice balls in 3 flavours (One of the flavour is unagi - eel). Must try cos the rice balls are big (about the size of a lady palm) and only $5 for 3 rice balls.
The restaurant is very cosy and has nice ambiance. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Overall, very good experience :)
Their tau sar piahs are good. They have different flavours such as black sesame, white lotus, yam, tau sar, durian, white sesame, etc. The crust is soft and crispy, fillings are generous and has smooth texture. The sweetness is just nice, not too sweet. My favourite is the yam flavour. First time customers must try the yam, lotus and durian flavour. If you cannot decide, ask the staff for their best sellers. They will give you good recommendations.
Besides tau sar piahs, they have curry puff, tuna puff, chicken pie and bbq pork siew pau. Same as tau sar piahs, the crust for the pastry are soft and crispy. The ingredients are fresh and filings are super generous. The tuna puff is abit spicy, so great for those who love spicy food. I like the texture of the curry puff, the crust is crispy and it blends well with the soft potatoes fillings. The curry puff is not too spicy.
I personally like the bbq pork siew pau as one of the reasons is they use lean meat. When you bite into the siew pau, you will feel the ingredients are bursting out. The bbq sauce is nice and the meat is soft. The crust plus the filings blend well.
Overall, the tau sar piahs and other pastries are good. I don't mind have them often for my afternoon tea :) Reasonable price and the staff are friendly too!
I'll definitely avoid going to this branch of Boon Tong Kee's again. Before we even stepped in, one of their waitress bumped into my friend with a dish on her hands. Instead of apologising, she gave him an annoyed look.
What happened to customers always being right?
And when we were trying to order food, the waiters and waitresses all seem to only have a 10-degrees viewing angle. All of them just can't seem to see the 7 of us frantically waving our hands at them to take our orders.
The food was not that fantastic either. The taste wasn't exceptional, and the food looks badly laid out. And being Boon Tong Kee, the price is on the high side too.
"what wood would when wiled..." try saying this line out loud! Nah... forget it, its easier to go check out their shop at The Cathay than to say those words.
As a lover of everything stylish, trendy, hip and pretty, I simply adore the collection at Wood Would. Girls will love the collection and as for the guys... well... the lady boss is pretty too!
This is one place to go for your christmas shopping or when you need to find something unique for a friend's birthday.
Another one of the new concept store along Haji Lane. At first look, Pluck looks like a fashion style shop with the latest trends and coolest fashion. But when you enter the shop, you'll see more than just that! They also have colorful and cute handmade accessories for the young and hip! They carry quite a number of various products designed by local talents too.
This style emporium also has yummy ice creams. Perfect place to take 5 while shopping along Haji Lane.
3 is one unqiue store along the run-down but hip Haji Lane. What attracted me to enter the shop is the black decor outside the shop. It gives a sense of mystery and prompts one to want to explore further.
They carry the-not-so-common fashion brands that's hip, stylish and cool for the young generations. One of my favorite brand is the MilkBerlin bags that are just so unique and durable.
If you are like me, someone who demand 100% attention from the service people, well, this tiny shop is one where you'll get all the attention you need. (Right from the moment you stepped through the black door.)
I've selected Geek Terminal to be the first business review here in yebber cos I am very impressed by the place!
The place is very welcoming and comfortable. I can stay there whole day with my labtop and surf the net for free at Geek Terminal! Forget about wireless@SG, Geek Terminal wifi is free and even faster!
I love the coffee! Give me their set meals anytime and I'm happy.
When I walked in to this restaurant,I was expecting some Indian customers and the unique Indian ambience. supprisingly, I see no Indian except for one waitress and one supervisor. The interior design is simple but nice and cosy. The best is they do not serve Indian food. The waiter who attended to us is a Chinese. After seated, we were given a menu. Unlike other restaurant, the price for the dishes are not clearly stated with the dollar sign. It is just a small number printed below each dish and you have to guess what it actually means. To be certain, I checked with the waiter and confirmed that it is the price for the food.
This restaurant was featured on TV for its Crab Claws. We wanted chilli crab, but they serve only claws. According to the supervisor, you may book in advance if you want the entire crab. $15 for 4 claws. A little on the high side because the claws were relatively small. However, they are quite delicious.
The Jade chicken soup ( $8 for one person ) is tasty too. It is actually similar to normal chicken soup but green in colour like Jade. It is nicer than the Seafood clear soup which my friend had ordered. The steam fish with lemon is quite special. It is fresh, a little sweet and sour and it is definitely worth trying except that the fish is too small ( $28 ). The most famous drink Mango Lassi ( $7 ) is very well accepted here. It is Mango mixed with Yogart. I can see most table ordered this juice.
On the whole, I find this Chinese restaurant by Indian is unique and worth recommending. I will come back again to try out other dishes.

Boycott this branch, I say...

The new shop now is bigger and has more choices.
Beautiful Place with
Beautiful Things and
Beautiful People.
However I miss the homely feeling when they were in the small unit next to the toilet.
But still, MWL is one shop that all scrappers and crafters will love to shop and spend hours in.
