Soft yet still have a bite and fluffy rice vermicelli topped with savory chicken meat and a tasty broth (with meat ball, dumpling & bakso tahu too) at the side. This is a good eat before you start your day. And don't forget to order their bakso goreng too!
Spicy red peanut sauce are a good complement for this Indonesian peranakan siumay.. Costumer can choose siumay, bakso tahu, egg and potatoes or combine all of them. Price are per piece (around Rp 9.000,- each). If you like spicy food and a good siumay, this is worth a try.
Best shared with a friend as the cheese may get too heavy after awhile. Also, in that way you still have space for their Earl Grey Lavender Croissant ($3.50) - personally my basic and constant order at @brawn_and_brains. Perfected with a cuppa of choice (both house blend and single origin are pretty good).
2.5 munchies: I love my scrambled eggs and chillies, but not when they marry together. The chilli scrambled eggs with fresh crab topping was one-dimensional and lacked sweetness; all I could taste was only the mediocre spices from the red cut chillies. The crispy creamy corn potato cakes may have stolen the show for me, but unfortunately, this dish wasn't about the croquettes.
This was a hosted meal by The Tuckshop.
This is the best matcha cream puff I've had by far. Matcha filling was at its best; flowy, oozy, but yet not to the point of dilution -- also not too sweet like most matcha items that have the strong white chocolate taste (that I dislike); retained a strong enough taste of green tea, and most importantly went well with the choux pastry that was light and had the right amount of fluffiness. Might be small for $3.50 but was well worth the price (& calories)
There's no need to travel to Hong Kong to try Honolulu Cafe's famed egg tarts or pineapple buns (otherwise known as polo buns). Honolulu Cafe has officially opened its first Singapore outlet in Centrepoint. Come with your family members for an early yum cha session before spending the rest of the day shopping in town. The Honolulu Egg Tarts ($1.70 each) are a must order — buttery, flaky pastry encasing a lightly sweetened custard, alongside the Honolulu Pineapple Bun ($1.50), extra $0.50 for butter — totally worth the calories. Wash it all down with their Iced Yuan Yang ($3.50). There are also more substantial noodles and rice dishes available too. Pro tip: Head down early to secure your egg tarts — supply is limited and they run out very quickly!
Avg price: $5 per person
Just like the title said "nasi goreng gila" mean crazy fried rice. I think the name came up when they adding almost all kind of topping available into the fried rice. From scrambled egg to spring onion, from shredded chicken to sausage, basically anything available in your pantry. Then add some minced chilli paddies for extra kick, you choose from hot or super hot. I'll stick with hot thankyouverymuch.
Since we stay around Bencoolen area at the first day I decide to take a night strool to Bugis+. Then when the snacking urge come, our choice come to a delectably displayed crispy deep fried squid on a stick called Uyi Savory Squid. I love how crispy yet succulent those squid are, I remember the last time I try to cook squid to long and it become rubbery. But this squid are just perfectly cooked and crispy. We choose the hot & spicy flavor for our squid, with extra green tea for our drink it cost us only $7.50 it is sooo good, so for me this is a good bargain 😅
My friend, Fillip, craving for some pork dishes, then I remember there's a mix rice joint very near to our Raden Saleh area office. So we decide to skip our usual lunch and have a porky pig out (no pun intended). Oh, you can choose the rice too, hainam rice or white rice.
A very, very late post from few weeks past. This is the 1st time we try out (finally!) this gallery/eatery in Kemang area. Starting with this mushroom cream soup, which is very good. But am not a fan of that croutons, to way too oily for my liking.
Glutenous rice balls filled with sweet toasted peanut in coconut sugar ginger soup. It's warm and filling, especially in a pouring days (because raining aren't sufficient anymore) #WedangRonde #IndonesianFood #HomeMade #Burpple
