Uhh.. HAHAHA!

Here's the savory Dutch pancake - Maple Grapefruit ($13.80), with chicken, grapefruit, orange and greens! Loved the hint of maple and butter in the pancake! A pretty filling lunch i'd say but SKIP THE COFFEE PLEASE.

Aww! Souffle has already sunk when it reached me.. A little too wet but loved the matcha aroma and taste!!

$4.00 // Definitely a snatch for coffee shop food! Gotta try their fish belly too!

So the gf had a little time off lessons so she decided to take me to one of my favourite cafes. And although it's been over a year since I've last been here, I wasn't disappointed. Man, the food here is still so good. First time embarking on their lunch menu though; she wanted pancakes. The sticky date pancakes were amazingly delicious but could have been fluffier. The ocean Mac & cheese was delicious in all it's glory but wished the macaroni was a little more al dente. Apart from the mains, we got to try their Yuzu tart. Love it's tardiness and the sour punch which was highly acceptable. The lunch had a perfect ending; iced Thai coffee. Nothing feels better than being tucked away from the busy traffic and streets with your loved ones. X.

Finally I found Mao Shan Wan (Durian) Lava Cake with a choice of a gelato @chapter_55 Of course I go for Mao Shan Wan Gelato which goes very well with the Mao Shan Wan Lava Cake! Everything is perfect except if there is some durian fresh in it. #maoshanwanglavacake #burpple #burpplesg

At my old place in Bukit Gombak yesterday, I took a trip down memory lane. While its changed hands and renovated many times, this at least two-decade old Muslim-indian eating place "Alif Restaurant" is still recognizable to old boys like me. While pratas these days come fanciful with chocolate, banana, cheese and whatnot, I only recollect there was only "kosong" (plain) or egg back then. Those who are old enough may also remember that we only had free-to-air channels on our CRT TV sets that would screen horror classics like Poltergeist, Nightmare on Elm Street or Child’s Play every Tuesday or Thursday late night. My elder brother and I would lay our ragged "ti lum" (mattress) on the floor in the living room and scare ourselves silly. Almost every time, no thanks to my brother, he would purposely cajole me to buy supper right after the first horror scene in the movie. I was a chubby kid back then, so I would always get suckered into making that trip for some tasty pratas for supper. However, imagination would get the better of me once I got downstairs, and I would always break into an Olympic sprint to reach the restaurant. Once there, I would forget about the horror scenes playing out in my head and get mesmerized by the malay encik (uncle in malay) who would press balls of smooth dough before carrying out gravity-defying prata-flipping. Then, right in front of us in full glory, he would throw the translucent flattened dough onto the big heated flat pan doused with eight tonnes of oil. As a grand finale to end the cooking, another uncle would display the ultimate act of masculinity by stacking up the ready-to-serve pratas and crushed them mightily in one blow with his bare hands. Once the uncle handed me the hot crispy pratas in my hand, Chucky and Freddy would be back in my head instantaneously. So needless to say, I made another Olympic sprint back home! I guess that’s how I am still alive today. #hawkerpedia

A long time favourite on Artichoke's weekend brunch menu, the Lamb Shakshouka ($26) is the perfect union of tender lamb shoulder and spot-on runny eggs. Served in a skillet, this Middle Eastern inspired dish is enlivened by a well-balanced spiced tomato sauce and a stunning green chilli harissa. Tear off pieces of the accompanying pita bread and use that to mop up that delicious mess. Don't worry — the guys at Artichoke are too laidback to judge. Pro tip: The dish is super filling, so you might also want to order a lighter main (try the Haloumi & Mushrooms, $22) and share both with a friend.

I always make sure that I have enough stomach space for desserts at PS Cafe because I can't leave without having my favorite sticky date pudding! The pudding has a cake-pudding like texture that is very moist and soft, drenched with a generous amount of toffee nut sauce. Perfectly done with a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream as it balances out the sweetness!

Tim Tam was good. Velvet cake was good. Everything was good in this Strawberry Cheesecake Shake. They never disappoint on their milkshakes. :)

It comes topped with sliced bananas, blueberries, whipped cream and vanilla ice cream that were so good when having them together, and also provided a slightly bitter turned sweet aftertaste upon being drizzled in warm chocolate sauce.
