very typical breakfast food but the flavors worked really well together. wished that there was a bit more greens to reduce the greasiness of the spam, but lbr it wouldn’t had been half as nice if it was healthier.
the chicken thigh in hot chicks were super tender and we absolutely loved the combi of sriracha and spicy mayo. initially thought that the garlic bagel would be bagel baked with garlic powder but we were so wrong. there were chopped garlic which were baked till golden brown and added a strong aroma to every bite. the garlic one was a bit harder than all sorts which was a pity but it’s fragrance made up for it!! 11/10 will go back again!! tbh, the moment we finished our bagels, we’re already planning our next visit!!
the meat were first cooked with brown sauce and since we chose to have them spicy, the chef added chili padi based on our requests. the cut of the meat was good for its price! didn’t quite enjoy the seafood though the fish was really good. the salt for the veg was a tad heavy handed but it didn’t take away the natural sweetness of the veg and the joy of getting to eat warm food in front of us all the time! def a fun experience and a must visit if we’re visiting vivo again!
• my first time at swee choon (super late, i know) and i personally find it the best dim sum restaurant (taking price into consideration). swee choon served typical dim sum dishes that can be found in most restaurants at lower prices and relatively high quality. we loved everything other than the chili oil wanton and chee cheong fun. highlights of the meal were the swee choon mee-sua kueh, fried custard pumpkin & we can’t decide between har kow, beancurd prawn or carrot cake 🙈🙈🙈. def my fave no frills restaurant & the best news is that they’re delivery island wide now. whee~🥰🥰🥰
the highlight of the dish was always the rice! fluffy, fragrant and oily without being surfeiting. one of the rare times when we’ll want a second serving of carbs. the chicken was a hit or miss - there were days when it was perfectly cooked but also days when it was so dry thay we wanted to give up on it. but generally, it tasted amazing and i’m left craving for it every week. tried the pork chop this time round but it was quite disappointing. the meat was flattened and heavily battered till it was quite difficult to discern what meat we were having. guess we’ll be sticking to the chicken rice!!
the crust was light, airy & chewy (def different from what we remembered) and the turkey ham was a massive upgrade from chicken ham taste wise. absolutely loved the fact that the pineapple rings were only at the side so that they can be separated without much effort. currently, there’s a promo where you can get 4 piece drumlets when you register for a pizza hut acct so def super worth it!
food was good and the view was stunning.
the skirt steak was the signature but felt that it wasn’t as raw & soft as we would have liked it though we got the medium rare.
loved the iberico pork tomahawk!! there’s more fatty parts than we expected, but the fat was so well rendered and smooth to cut thru. it didn’t leave behind a greasy aftertaste & went so well with the sides!! the bread was more than amazing!!! if i ever go back, it’ll be more for the bread than anything else. it’s soft, warm, lightly salted and absolutely delicious 🤤🤤🤤 we ended up finishing the entire tray though we were so full cause of the mains.
def a place to go back too, and special shoutout to the nicest staff ever - jack. & did i mention that the view outside was stunning??
the blue cream and sprinkles made the drink look super magical & weirdly reminded me of frozen (or rather elsa’s dress). taste wise, it tasted like any other vanilla latte though the sprinkles added an interesting crunch to it. esp loved the starbucks at capital tower!! somehow it looked super vintage and if you imagined hard enough, it’ll feel like you’re really overseas having coffee on a cold winter day??
such a refreshing drink as compared to our normal addiction 😍😍😍
每個午後都應該猶如這杯飲料一樣美好
newest addiction at maxwell!! probably the nicest kueh we’ve ever had. the texture was light and soft, and you can easily bite through the kueh without much effort, unlike those super sticky ones (which sadly are the norms). the brown sugar was added moderately making the kueh sweet and delightful. def the best we ever had. so much that we avoid going maxwell now as we always overspend on this stall!!
in love with the gateau au chocolat and avocado ice cream. the cake was so chocolaty, moist, rich, and dense. even though it was slightly on the sweeter side, you can easily polish it off by sharing it with another person & lbr a chocolate and avocado combi can never go wrong 😍😍😍 that being said, the avocado ice cream is so so good by itself 😍 the sesame waffle is on the crispy side, and the low sugar content made it a perfect match for the ice cream! a second favorite will be the pistachio ice cream. the ice cream is so creamy and smooth, and a strong nutty flavor came through with every mouthful! the latte was super gimmick, we had to pour the coffee into the milk ourselves. it was pretty fun though i wished the coffee could be a bit stronger. the staff are all super nice; giving us recommendations for the best ice cream pairing and a free cooler bag ✌🏻
somehow it tasted way better in the cold winter of Melbourne. the staff is also way more helpful; why is it that we can’t mix two different flavors in sg 😦
perfectly cooked scrambled eggs that were so well-seasoned and went so well with the sourdough bread. the addition of avocado, bacon, and mushroom complements the flavor of the toast, and i’m especially in love with the slightly sour tang from the avocado. latte was also so nice ☕️
