Din Tai Fung


A cold vegetable appetizer to go with before you start your main course! It's a must to have when you're there for your lunch/dinner!

Overall ratings: 4.3/5


I really hated this. I love bitter gourd! However, this one is so much bitter than bitter gourd. It's just plain tasteless and bitter. Yes, is that bad.

Overall ratings: FAILED.


Beef Ramen! The beef is very tender and easy to bite off. Yes, however the soup was not as salty, therefore you should add vinegar and pepper in order to spice it up! Other than that, everything is nice! 

Overall ratings: 4.3/5



Xiaolongbaos? NO! It's Yam xiaolongbaos! It's time to discard the original xiaolongbaos and try this as dessert! This is by far, my favourite in the restraurant! The sweetness of Yam with soft outer layer of flour, it's just a perfect match! 

Overall Ratings: 4.6/5

Bedok Hokkien Mee

Bedok Hokkien Mee







It's not easy getting here if you do not have a car. However, it is always crowded! Just look at the queue for this Hokkien Mee stall! Sometimes you really have to wait for more than 20 minutes! Yes, that's how popular it is.

I was really excited about it when I saw the queue. However, as you know with expectations comes disappointment. The taste just wasn't up to my expectations. I guess whats nice is the thin mee fen. As you all know that usually for Hokkien Mee, their mee fen are thicker ones.

Better luck next time!

Overall ratings: 2.5/5 mee

Ba Chou Mee!












This stall is located in the hawker centre just opposite albert OG! It's the best Ba Chou Mee in town I tell ya! They are so far the only Ba Chou Mee I know that has Black Sauce Noodles! It tastes Superb!

Not only do they have the special black sauce noodles, they also have their well known fishballs! They have a normal fishballs, meatballs and chilli in the fishballs. Most of the time their customers would change the normal fishballs to chilli fishballs. However, I prefer their normal fishballs because just with one bite it feels so chewy!

You definitely have to try it despite each time I visit the stall they would have long queue! So save yourself some trouble from visiting them during lunch time! (:

Overall ratings: 4.8/5 fishballs

Ang Mo Kio Hawker Centre







Initially when I was there I did not know what to eat as it has been a really long time since I have visited this Hawker Centre. They have renovated and shifted all the stalls around. So as I was looking around, I saw long queues for this particular carrot cake stall, I thought "Hey, since so many people are queuing it should be nice!" Indeed, the outer layer of the eggs was very crispy. It would be good if you are able to finish it while it is still hot. They have been featured by mediacorp before, sadly I didn't take a picture of their stall as I was too happily eating.

Next, this satay beehoon stall has been around in this hawker centre for a very long time and still taste as good as the last time I had tried it! The satay sauce is just nice, not very watery or too thick. However, I find that their ingredients were not a lot as they only have a prawn and a few pieces of meat. The cuttlefish was very QQ. It's definitely a must to try! Just to let you know the carrot cake is just two stalls away from this satay stall. So now you know where to find it!

Overall ratings for carrot cake: 4/5 crispiness

Overall ratings for satay bee hoon: 4.8/5 satays


AMK HUB (Basement)



I love durians, so whenever I visit AMK Hub, I never fail to buy these durian kuehs back home to eat! They are very generous with their portion of durians which was why it is nice.

 It's $1.50 for one!

Overall ratings: 4.5/5 durians

Somewhere in Singapore

Tonic Soup






I didn't take note of where this place was as my dad brought us there for lunch. It's the second time I was there so the next time I would give you guys the address alrights! (:
I ordered the old winter melon soup. I LOVE winter melon and for all the soup that I have drank before mostly are all filled with old winter melon. The first taste of it was already heavenly delicious. The old winter melon itself was very soft too. The main lead was the soup itself, it was very sweet which made it taste yummy as they added honey dates inside.

As for the chicken feet soup, it is quite salty to my liking.

Overall ratings: 4.5/5 soup

Prawn Noodles



I love the prawn noodles from here! Even if you take away back home to eat, it will still taste as delicious as ever! The only thing that is not nice would be their soup. It wasn't up to expectation. However, they are very generous with their prawns and it's not very hard to chew off from the prawn shell.

Overall ratings: 4.5/5 prawns

Shokudo (Raffles City)

Omelette (Plain)

YES. I visited them that day AGAIN! This time I finally ordered their plain omelette! It's very sweet and together with their sauce, it just felt like I was eating Tako Pochi! However, I would still recommend you guys to try it but preferably with some other toppings they have.

Overall ratings: 3.8/5 eggs

Alrights, that's all for now foodies!

Sakura Family Restaurant  (Compass Point)















 I have not visit this restaurant for a very long time, however that day when I visited them everything looks the same as previous years I've visited. Nothing much has really changed. 

So I ordered a set meal for 2 which includes everything above as you can see. I was very much disappointed with the food as it tasted much better last time.

The chicken wings were not very oily however it failed to have the thick flavour of "ha jiong kai". The spicy shrimp kang kong was the best dish out of all. Tom yam soup has too little ingredients and the spicyness was not there. Lastly, the dessert was red ruby which is actually chestnuts. 

I probably wouldn't visit them for quite a long time, again. 

However, if you would like to give it a try and visit them, they are located inside of compass point on the third floor. ->

Compass Point, 1 Sengkang Square, Singapore 545078Telephone number: +65 6388 7414 

Overall ratings: 2/5 spicyness

Pasir Ris Fish Soup (Ang Mo Kio)




My parents brought me to AMK to try out this stall's fish bee hoon. The soup is much oily as compared to other fish bee hoon stall. The fish were very fresh too! However, the next time I visit them I would much prefer to order only fish soup rather than their bee hoon, because I got rather sick of it after having much. 

It's really worth trying even though they do not have those milk fish soup when I ordered fried fish. It still taste good, better than I have thought it would be!

So here's the address:

Blk 453A Ang Mo Kio Ave 10
#01-91 Chong Boon Food Centre S561453

Overall ratings: 3.5/5 fishes


Alrights food lovers! That's all for now, I shall be back to update with more food reviews soon!

Sushi Tei


Sashimi, fresh and juicy. What more could you ask for?

Overall ratings: 4.8/5 sashimi



Cheese on prawn sushi! I only have one word to describe it, MARVELOUS!

Overall ratings: 4.5/5 prawns



I love fried tofu, however Sushi Tei's one did not make me melt at all. Their sauce were a bit gingery kind of taste which isn't my favourite. However, the tofu were fried nicely as compared to many I have tasted before.

Overall ratings:3.8/5 tofus



Cheese Hotate, one of the dishes that I would order whenever I visit Sushi Tei. The cheese very been oven just nicely. Even though it is very salty, the taste together with Hotate was perfect. Their Hotate is very juicy and probably the best you can ever find.

Overall ratings: 4/5 hotate




This is a mixture of sashimi, crabmeat and mango. It was a perfect combo that you definitely have to try out. The sweetness of the mango boost the entire flavour of sashimi together with crabmeat.

Overall ratings: 4.8/5 sushi

SUSHI TEI! MAMA MIA! It's so tasty and yummy! It's worth every single cent! :D It has been a year since I last stepped in sushi tei, YES! it's that long. I did not take all the pictures of what we ordered, just a few as I was too tempted and hungry!

The sashimi was a hit!However, it's too expensive =/ so we only had a plate of it. After that we decided to order this MANGO plus salmon plus crabmeat sushi. I know, MANGO right? it sounds weird to have it with sushi. but NO! it turned out to be really delicious! Next time when we head down to sushi tei again, we would try out mango with king prawns!


This was a post from my previous blog which I would love to share it with you guys!

Shokudo


Shokudo refers to Dining Hall.










This place is also known as the Japanese Marche. The have one outlet at basement of Heeren and another one at the basement of Raffles City. So far, I have only been going to the outlet at Raffles City.



They have clam chowder and mushroom soup, which obviously I was super tempted to try on their mushroom soup as I'm a mushroom lover. However, to my disappointment. I would say this was the worst mushroom soup I have ever tasted! It was too watery. Even my home instant campbell mushroom soup taste way better than this.

Overall ratings: 0.01/5 mushrooms


This is heaven. The sashimi was sliced proportionally and it was very fresh. Absolutely love for sashimi lovers.

Overall ratings: 4.6/5 sashimi-s


This was not the best gyoza I've ever tasted. Personally I am not a huge fan of pork. In fact, very seldom you would catch me eating pork. This gyoza totally made me want to vomit out the very first mouth I have taken. They have such a strong porky taste and it was too salty! I would much prefer China town's coffee house one, it is way so much better! This one was too oily and salty, not very healthy =/

Overall ratings: 0.01/5 porky


Next up, this was what my friend had ordered, omelette rice with crab meat. 


This is chicken teppanyaki, it was FANTASTIC! The chicken was well cooked, the sauce was very delicious. Together with vegetables, it's so healthy! However, it would be better to have a bowl of rice along with this! It would be perfect!

Overall ratings: 4/5 chicken


Plain rosti! Who doesn't love a simple rosti dipping it with sour cream? The first time I ate it was years ago, which was much less oily. However, it's still one of the must have when you're there!

Overall ratings: 3.8/5 potatoes



Feeling hungry already? One of the highlights of Shokudo is their desserts! I have been craving for this hot azuki and mochi dessert for at least a year already! I finally got my tastebuds on this! The azuki was not very sweet, it was just nice. Not too watery too, so thumbs up! As for the mochi, it was the main lead of this dessert. They were very generous with 5 mochis for each bowl. The mixture of mochi and azuki is just perfect. They are like a perfect couple together, the mochi was very soft and was not very hard to bite. 

Overall ratings: 4.8/5 mochis


So if you're ever there for lunch or dinner, don't ever miss out their desserts! (:

Love,
C.
