We were walking aimlessly one sat afternoon trying to find some decent dessert at the basement of the central mall when we decided to just pick a spot to sit and rest. The snow shaved ice-kacang lookalike dessert attracted me and we ended up here, though the Fried Chicken opposite this outlet tempted us, we held fast to our diet plans and decided something watery and sweet and we could share would be great.
The menu was a confusion of many stuffs with sets and is slightly sticky... So I've decided on the snow shaved ice in black forest flavor (my fav) and while we ordered, we were told the flavors were out only greentea redbean was available. So we ended up having that, a cuppa coffee each. I guess the snacks and double boiled rice sets are nice as we watch our neighbours eating them.
The coffee arrived, it was average machine type, no wow factor but the snow shaved ice is pretty interesting.. Its shaved and its really flaky and soft like as a shaved ice-cream. Creamy and light and does not melt down so quickly like the ice kacang. The red bean is not generous but enough for us, though it gets a little messy eating this, i instantly fell in love with snow shaves...
The seats were tight and not comfy, no cushion thats if you have a bony bum and it does gets a little too noisy when its crowded... Theres only one staff on duty and thus we don't expect much service yet the tables are pretty clean, less the menu which was sticky. Pretty good experience.

We were wondering around for a good dessert to complete the meal and was called towards the colourful display cabinet of tantalizing shelfful of beautiful decorated fruit tarts. Unlike the normal bakery fruit tarts, these are huge tarts sliced into 8-12 portions with mouth watering cross sections full displaying the vivid coloured contents.
It was not nice salivating at the display cabinet as such we proceeded in to seat and view the menu. The menu serves up a good selection of cakes, pastries and tea however without the appropriate pictures, we very much could not relate them with the beautiful tarts at the display, as such we ordered the tarts at the display while we return to the menu for our accompanying tea. They do carry a good array of floral and fruit teas as well as japanese styled fusion tea.
We decided on some flavors that we find best suited to the tarts we ordered as there is a all day long set promo of a pot of tea with a tart. The teas were aromatic, very fragrant yet tasted light and refreshing. The tarts were fruity with layers of cream or custard and thick and crumbly crust. Extremely yummy. We love the pumpkin flavored tart the best. It is tasted of the sweet and rather raw and natural flavor of the pumpkin yet the sweetish custard pairs well with it.
There are ample seats for large groups and though there is always a queue, i'm sure you can find seat amongst the ample space. Service is pretty good, staff is friendly and helpful yet they looked mostly understaffed. Enjoy the great tasting and beautiful tarts and I'm even thinking of having it as a birthday cake one of these faithful birthdays.....

Affliated to the WOOLOOMOOLOO STEAKHOUSE, the chop house is famous for their chops of meat and draft beers. Its a pretty interesting place to dine in, with high tables and chairs as well as romantic tables for two, not forgetting the cool alfresco dining complete with the smell of sea and lasers from Sentosa. I love the setting and the ambience with wooden furnitures smoothened down at the edges with cracks and beside the high table we are settled on is a beer tap with 2 types of brews that can be made available for special occasions. I mean how cool is that to have beer taps right next to your table for you to self-serve.
The menu has got a good variety of carefully grilled steaks, chunks of meat, seafood, pasta and burgers. Something interesting caught my eye, SWEET POTATO CHIPs. Yes, orange, crispy and sweet and of course best eaten when its piping hot from the wok. The other stuffs we ordered are yummy as well such as the mixed grill which is a good portion of steak, lamb, pork chops with some greens. The ingredients used fresh and culinary methods good, retaining the juiciness within while creating a crispy outside.
The beer is beyond anything i've tried, they do have a few flavors for us to try, while if you like something light, they do have one called the PURE BLONDE - which is a low carb brew.. Best for ladies like me and if you like strong, you must try the SCHNEIDER WEISSE TAP 7 which is a wheaty dark brew. Order anything before 9pm is happy hour price which is a good $2 cheaper however, once you start with their artisan crafted beer, its pretty hard to stop at one.
Its a nice place with yummy food and good beer, most importantly it does not stink up your clothes. So if you are looking for a place to indulge in a meaty affair and some good beer, this is where you should go.
Price wise is slightly high and service is attentive and efficient. Seating is good for groups and the place takes noise well so if you are there with some chatty friends, its okay to get high and talk a little too loud.

126 搵到食, is a pretty catchy name for an old-timers dim sum restaurant. I heard alot about it and also the notorious queue that is fending me from visiting the outlet though I love dim sum alot....
So one faithful morning of a public holiday, me and me pals have decided to drop by for a late morning brunch that apparently made us waited for a good one hour before the food arrived.
Though the queue was short, we still took about half an hour before we could get this crampy seats inside the air-conditioned area. The seating area is comfy and very squeezy HK like with people consistently walking around.. Getting shoved, jabbed and elbowed is a common thing here, however, it makes up for the HongKong like Char Chan Teng culture. Its noisy, aircon pretty strong to keep everybody cool headed and the menu for ordering is thick like a photo album. For a good 8 hungry breakfast goers... we ordered 23 dishes with an assortment of steamed and deep fried stuffs. Drinks came in plastic (Dou Hua) containers and sorry... no coffee or potted tea is served... Tables are tiny yet its kinda cosy and fun.
Ordering took us about 15 mins and we waited for 15 mins before our first order arrived. The fried stuffs came first then slowly the steamed stuffs arrived... The food is pretty nice, ingredients fresh, however filling are just right, though below my expectations... there is no WOW Factor in their food.
Some of the food that we ate and how we liked it.
1) Har Kow & Siew Mai - according to dim sum lovers world wide, these 2 dishes is the must have and the benchmark to gauging if its a good dim sum place. Though the filling is fresh and crunchy, skin thin, yet it lacks the wow factor. It just tasted kinda better then normal.
2) Char siew bao - HK styled of course with the flower topped looked tasted regular only, filling could have been a little more generous
3) Xiao Long Bao - Looked Tiny to me, skin is rather thick and non elastic, and theres no soup in the bao... So its kinda dry and not so tasty.
4) Nai Huang (Salted Egg) Bao - Tasted more like custard to me, the filling is dry and the bao so tiny.
5) Chicken Feet - This is nice and yummy, well braised and skin chewy, pretty well done.
For a group of 8 and moderate eating, the bill came up to be about $95 which is a good price for brunch!
Service is good, I mean for a place like this, we would expect angry faces and loud rude shoves and shouts yet it is not so. Staff is helpful, friendly and extremely efficient. This I am WOWed....
So I'm sure to return though the food is only slightly above average, they made it up with efficient and friendly service.

If you love a good view of greenery while you lunch, then this is the place to be. A new fringe-less concept on unbinding greenery that boost of the breathtaking rusty natural environment of the Rochester Park area with the comfort of the cool air-con, no mozzies and rain free indoor sitting is the best for both comfort and relaxation.
This food court serves up not just a good view, spacious and ample seating areas, it also has a great selection of local and interesting foreign cuisines. The selections of cuisines includes the ever so yummy local chicken rice, laksa, mixed veg rice, fried noodles, also exotic Indonesian and Filipino selections. There is something for everyone and priced at a pretty affordable rate. I've not tried all the food here, but appraising the ones i've tried its normally good with no exceptional WOW- Factors. But the dining environment and cleanliness is nothing but commendable.
Its a great place to lunch with friends or have casual business meetings as the environment holds noise well and have sitting areas that are pretty private. Its well planned and very conducive for large groups of people. One thing I must mention is that the drinks counter serve up an extremely good coffee set. The coffee is aromatic, thick and nice and the toast.. They have this baguette toast which is one of the best I've tasted. The skin roughened and crispy while the kaya and the hard butter makes the most potent combination.
I will mostly just attack the coffee and toast with 2 soft boiled eggs. Its potently delicious. Breath in the beautiful landscape and wisp of cool air-con mixed with the aromatic taste of piping hot coffee, we will realised that Its the simple things that make us happy.

I finally had time to try this as the queue is always sooo long. Its one of the more popular stalls in this hawker center and boy is it worth the wait.
They serve mostly sliced fish in soup, noodles, porridge and any other combinations you can think off. I had the dried seafood noodles because its rather warm and I wouldn't want something hot in my tummy. After a 5 mins queue, I finally managed to order my noodles and it was ready in a quick 3 mins.
The seafood noodles ($3) was of very good value as its a pretty good portion with 2 fishballs, many slices of extremely fresh and 2 whole prawns, i must say slightly smaller than a medium sized prawn peeled and sweet. The noodles are well made to the right texture and chew factor, the fish balls were bouncy and yummy and the slices of fish, smooth, flavourful and extremely fresh. The prawns were a great value as they were pretty large for the price paid, sweet, fresh and easy to eat (peeled). The accompanied soup tasted flavourful and not salty at all but savoury and nice.
Its a healthy meal and super worth it. My choice of a breakfast or lunch meal. Its not easy to find fish soup that is $3 with so many slices of fresh good quality fish.

Situated about 5 mins short walk from the aljunied mrt station helmed by a good covered walkway, the sims vista market is a regular haunt for the residents around Sims Avenue.
I was surprised with the variety of cooked food and of course the super affordable pricing. Matter of fact, you can still find $1.50 mixed veg rice (Plate of rice with choice of 2 veg) at a very good portion, $2.50 Wanton Noodles (Noodles with dumpling) that tasted old skool and yummy as well as $0.35 a piece Yong Tau Foo that comes up to less then $3 for a bowl of 6 pieces with rice or noodles.
The variety of food offered is also quite a delight. You have all a good choice of famous fish soup which is super yummy, braised duck porridge, rice and kway chup, Putien fried longevity noodles, double boiled wrapped chicken, etc etc etc... Theres too many to choose from all most stalls are pretty yummy. There is also malay stalls that provides one of the most yummy nasi kandars, smashed chicken (ayam panyat) and other yummy malay cuisines.
Interesting finds at this hawker:
1) Bakeries - There are a few bakeries, one just for bread and other 2 provides items such as mooncakes, traditional chinese pastries, yummy egg tarts and other high tea must haves.
2) Do you know that the cheapest old school cobbler is here at one of the market stalls selling everything else. Will post a review soon. He charges $4 to change the heel pads of my pumps which wears out too often and does a rather quick and good job.
3) There is an NTUC sponsored mixed veg rice store here right at the other end of the market. It gives you a 10% discount your plate of nasi lemak or mixed veg rice when you flash your card. Interesting ain't it.
4) Really fun toy store at the market that sells really interesting toys and general stuffs. Its the owners of the stores that made the difference.
5) Expensive fruit stores - Its an irony that i find the fruits here expensive especially the store that is facing the service road. One time she wants to charge me $10 for 3 smaller than my palm custard apple. I WAS IN SHOCK TILL DATE.
Its a good eat here and lots to eat at a very good price, however its a huge market and the tables are plenty, not to mention is not really easy to find a clean seat during lunch hours. The cleaners are many however, too crowded, as such it takes them quite a while before they clean it up for you. So patience is a must to have... not forgetting the ever growing queues and the harsh office ladies..... Yar.. watch out for birds and their poos... though spikes have been installed yet still watch where you seat.

i was skeptical to walk into this sushi outlet whom always seemed to have a neverending bee-line and after I have tried it... I regretted doubting them.
$1.50 for every plate of Sushi... Matter of fact I've come across similar adverts and I felt cheated when theres only one sushi on the plate rather than the pair we always meet. So it kinda took me loads of courage to try this $1.50 sushi and I'm happy to inform all you guys out there its really $1.50. Everything on the belt is $1.50. Yes you heard me right, though they do not have a menu and you should pick up anything u delight on the belt for $1.50, the varieties you see here can be better and more than the ones you can choose from the menu of most sushi bars.
I was impressed by the salmon sushi. Its a must have for any sushi meal and here the portion is really good. Large and juicy raw salmon with a medium small ball of rice. Its fresh and cold when served. The sashimi is a little to thin for me and I also love the hotate sushi. The ingredients they use are pretty fresh and I must say service is good. The belt is almost always full of selections and the chef never stopped producing new varieties to be placed on the belt. Its super good value as green tea, serviette and wet towel is free and you are only billed by the plates you eat.
The must eat when you are there.
1) Whole Scallop (Hotate) - Yes, they give you the whole thing with egg and some sauce.... and its not tiny
2) Sweet shrimp sushi - shrimp is fresh and sweet and meaty
3) Prawn sushi - prawn is almost half cooked, fresh and sweet
4) Salmon sushi - salmon is large and fresh
5) Some raw fish with attached yellow eggs - exceptionally nice visually and delicious
Its $1.50 per plate, service is okay but belt is always full of selections. On peak hours they have this slip that advised how much time you ought to spend eating, so its kinda a eat and go and peak hours. Its good this way to prevent the queue from waiting too long outside. Not a place to chill and chat with your friends during peak hours, though off peak hours and okay but only during peak hours you get the full selection of what they have to offer...
A fabulous and extremely worth it dining experience. I'm sure to intro and return often.

This outlet is one of the best Aston Outlet's there's ever been. The location is central yet at a higher floor gives it a prestigious image yet the prices are affordable. Watch the queue, especially on weekends and eve's of holiday. Though the Mall has got nothing much for shopping, yet the students from the nearby SMU, Laselle and other schools hang around here and loves to dine at Astons... So make sure you arrive early and don't wait for the queue to build up, else you will have to wit pretty long.
Its a pretty huge outlet with booth tables that we enjoy as it gives us much privacy and plenty of tables that can be combined for huge groups of groovy teens. The environment is pretty casual and though you could smell the sweet aroma of grilled meat, its not enough to make you smell like you hang a piece of grilled meat walking around like a brooch.
Selection of food is pretty good and I love the new side addition of Mac n Cheese. The way to order is to choose a main and my favourite has always been hickory bbq chicken, then choose 2 sides, hot/cold. I always love pasta salad and mashed potato.. No reasons... but I feel that they are tasty. Their food is above average and price affordable and of course.. they serve with loads of cheese and potato which most youths love.
Service is quite good and friendly. Its a casual meal and I love the chatty environment. It kinda make me feel young again...

This is one of my secret hideouts. I love to hang at Imam for late night suppers, after drinks cooling down and living the good old days of sitting at the back alley.
Imam is actually walking distance from Kallang MRT... approximately 3mins away and is almost always open. Sometimes pretty crowded during weekends. The selection of food there is great as they do have different types of roti prata, or some called it roti canai, fried noodles, rice and briyani, nasi kandar (Mixed veg with rice). These are some of the stuffs we love to have there:
1) Teh Halia (Milk Tea with Ginger) - Its not as yummy as my favourite lau pa sat one, but these milk teas with a frothy top packs a punch. Make sure to drink it while its pipping hot less it becomes more and more spicy as it cools down. This is one of life's exciting food.
2) Bandung (Rose Cordial with milk) - It comes in a giant cup, I guess at least 700ml. Love the way they swirl the milk and the cordial to looks like a latte. It tasted balance, but with all the indian stores, be sure to always ask them to less sweetness.
3) Milo Dinosaur - Is actually a 700ml milo with ice topped with plenty of dried milk powder. I love it... its yummy, extremely chocolatey and nutritious.
4) Roti Prata - Kosong is nice and crispy and love the veg curry that comes with it. Tried the sardine mutabak which was a little spicy but fluffy and with loads of contents. The bomb prata was however quite a disappointment. I expected it to be sweet and fluffy yet it was coated in a thick layer of planta margarine.
5) Mutton Briyani - Is super yummy, good value and mutton curry is soft and well cooked.
Its a nice place to hang with friends however if you want to live the back street style, then watch the flying cockroaches... Its a back alley, so prepare to get acquainted with the residents there!!! Eeekss!!!!
