📍Munchi Pancakes (Fernvale Hawker)
- Original Coconut Pancake🥥
- Charcoal Peanut Pancake🥜
- Green Tea Red Bean Pancake🫘
Prefer the coconut to the peanut to the red bean pancake.
Generous coconut filling, a little sweet though, but is nice. Peanut one is the safe bet, will be perfect if the peanut jam could be thicker. As for the red bean pancake, find it a tad too sweet to my likings.
Damage: $4.50 ($1.50 each)

📍Steamov 食尚撈 (Beach Road)
- Mala Soup Base🥘
Individual hotpot is really for ppl like me who doesn’t like to share and save the trouble of others having to use common utensils…😬
Start by ordering your preferred soup base (spicy and non-spicy ones). Then you can choose the stuff you want from the conveyor belt or to order from the staff.
Variety of items (on the conveyer belt) are quite decent given the price point. Each short stick is $1 each (e.g. potato, quail eggs, black fungus, lotus roots, tofu stuff, veg etc) and those long stick is $3 each (e.g. mini abalone, scallops, hotate, seaweed chicken etc).
Didn’t get to see their meat (e.g. beef, pork, chicken & lamb) and fish on the conveyor belt, think will have to place order with the staff.
Drinks is at $1 (canned drinks) and $3 (big bottled ones). Self service to the cup and ice.
The place was quite clean, but saw some super small flies on the food/veg on the conveyor belt. If budget constraint and dun mind the flies issue (unavoidable at times), can check out this place, but if particular about food hygiene, suggest to skip this.
Damage: $15.40 incl. svc charge ($5 for soup base & condiments, $1 for chopsticks & tissue pack, items ranging from $1 to $3, excluding meat & fish options ranging from $5 to $20)

📍Cafe Lilac by Whisking Bakes
- Taro-misu🍰
- Lilac Latte🥛
- Flat White☕️
Find the cake (taro-misu) a tad sweet to my likings, the taro paste and cream are fine, but the lady fingers are rather sweet, if only the syrup that they soak the lady fingers in could be less sweet, that will be good.
Lilac Latte is taro paste with milk, overall not bad, not too sweet, suitable for taro lover.
Flat White was decent, tasted heavy-bodied, latte art a bit cmi though.
Cafe can accommodate around 28 pax, quite a nice chilling place.
Damage: $19.50 (dining time limited to 60min)

This soya sauce chicken meat was so tender and juicy, the rice is also fragrant (probably cos of chicken oil and garlic) and distinct (not mushy), totally worth the calories!
The chilli is like bonus, value-add to the chicken rice, yum~
