Skinny Pizza at Raffles City Shopping Center

Okay. I thought I read something about it before. So, I thought I should try it when we chance upon it. I regretted immediately because I was thinking. AH! I love thick crust. And this is what? Skinny pizza! Gosh. Well, I did not move away and decided that we should continue through our meal. LOL!

And urm, we ordered the squid because it looked really special and we remembered people saying that it's nice. (Well, that's people's point of view, so we have to test it out!) My god. I'm so glad that we actually did it! Haha!

Look at the squid. Very tastefully done and the texture we good. My goodness. It's really very nice!

The whole pizza was realllly great! I have to take back my words. Skinny pizzas can be really nice too! Ha! It's a very new taste and we love it and we welcomed it. The vegetables went well together. Woo!

One thing to note is that, one pizza is definitely enough for two. Well, at least for both of us. Hehs. We were wondering if we should have ordered one or two. I was thinking of desserts after this, so we decided to go ahead with one. Nope, we have no space for desserts at the end. Ha!

Let me repeat again, it's really very nice! Haha. The pizza is really nice. LOL!

Well, as a potato fan, I decided to order this sweet potato strips. Wooooo~ Sweet, cripsy and yummy. =D The sesame was really fragrant and it contributed to the overall taste. Yum.

Just for these 2, we spend around $35 bucks. Yeap. The pizza is a little more expensive than what you will usually pay. But urm, this is good food. Ha! Not normal food you see. I paid for it gladly. LOL! Will definitely go back again to try more flavors. I think the cashew nuts look kinda nice. Wooo!

And oh, I think the staffs there are pretty friendly. That's a plus factor to a restaurant, isn't it?

Lovely dinner with my dear.

Because he knew that I had not lost my cravings for big sausages, he asked me if I would love to have western food for dinner. But I thought of going to cold storage to see if there is any yummy big sausages waiting for me, I decided I want to cook. Like I had always wanted. For him. Ha.

At the end of the day, I just want to tell you. Farmland hashbrown is really nice. And Jackson cheese sausages (it's the yellow cheese! Forgot the name suddenly) is really tender and the cheese made it perfect. YUM!!!!!! And please, scrambled eggs should not be cooked after all the pan frying. The pan is probably too hot for a nicely done scrambled egg. Ha!

It was a great meal with a great company. I wish for more. =D And oh my friends, if you would love to have it, just tell me! I am so willing to cook! Haha.

Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery

I have been craving for American breakfast since long long time ago. I want big big sausage, yummy scrambled egg, potatoes, good bread. Not too difficult to ask for I would say. But it gets a little difficult if you are never up/ at the restaurant when they are still serving breakfast.

So, Wild Honey to the rescue! Woohoo! It serves full day breakfast. So even if I want to eat it after work, it's perfectly ok!! And yeap, that was what I did! Hehs.

Beware of the queue man. Because it is opened till 1030, I suggest that you can reach around 9. So that you don't have to wait for more than 1 hour for it. This long wait is the only complain I can think of.

Ok, that was nothing to do with the review, but I like them! The sugar cubes look so nice. Haha. And okay, I was actually a little bored waiting for my food. Haha.

Tadang. Dish number one. Cookie. This cookie actually cost $4 each. I have no idea why, but we paid for it glady. Hehs.

So, it has chocolate coating on half the cookie. The other side of the cookie also have half coated with chocolates. Hehs. I guess this would make sure that we are not overloaded with chocolates. Because this is the first thing we have after such a long wait, I approach it with weary. Haha. It turned out to be really good! Woohoo!

Softness was good. It can be broken with the spoon and scooped to the mouth. And it's not like the soggy softness you know? Haha. It was good. Yum yum!

And then we realized that hey! There's maple syrup between the 2 cookies! And we don't find the whole thing very sweet. Hehs. Nice. First step to heaven.

Apparently this Queen B is one of the most popular mocktail at Wild Honey. We ordered it and it tasted really different. Haha. It has grapefruit and something. First mouth was "Eh? Hmm." After that, it became "Hmm. Nice! Hahaha."

And now, the most anticipated moment.

First, my craving was satisfied with the English breakfast. Everything that I had asked for. Or even more than I had. Because it had nice sauteered mushrooms and yummy baked beans. Haha. My goodness. This is huge! We are in heaven. Hahahahaha.

I was hooked by the potatoes. Nicely baked and the sprinkle of salt on it made it tasted really good. You can taste the salt but you won't complain about it because it was that which made it yums.

The sausage was heavenly. Seriously. Crunchy on the outside because of the grilled skin. Tight and woooo on the inside. It was thick as I wanted it. But too bad. It was a little small. Especially when 4 people are sharing it. Hahaha! But I think we can order a side order for the sausage. Good. I will do it. Haha!

 The mushrooms were a surprise. Nicely flavored and grilled. Wooo!

Scrambled egg. Not very special but it was important in this entire English breakfast. My god.

I did not managed to take a photo of the baked beans. It was so special! A little spicy and it was really big! Nothing like the normal baked beans they use from cans! Woohoo! YUMMMMMMS! I love the English breakfast! And the bread that came along was really good. I always love steamed bread more than toasted bread. But this combination was too good to be true. Lightly toasted on the outside but the softness of the bread inside was not sacrificed. This is crazy. Oh, the bacon too! It's oh my god. A little too salty for my liking but if I eat it with other things then, it's heavenly! Best bacon I have ever tasted. I want to bring the chef home. Haha.

Please note that we are already in heaven. So, the remaining dishes kept us in heaven for a long long time. Haha.

Next up, the Tunisian breakfast. Oh god. How can all the spices fuse together like this? It has 2 fried eggs, some sausages (goood!!). Don't underestimate it. My goodness. Take the nicely toasted bread and dip into the sauce. You will scream "I'm in heaven!". Hahaha. Ok, I think most of the people are not exactly as dramatic as me, but you get the gist here.

 

 

Taken from their menu: Canadian - A stack of classic pancakes served with wild berry and hibiscus compote, Canadian maple syrup and bacon.

 

Understatement I would say. It should read: Canadian - A stack of classic super fluffy and soft pancakes served with crazily nice and tastefully done wild berry and hibiscus compote, terribly nice Canadian maple syrup and out of the world delicious bacon. This was the best bacon that I had tasted in my life. I'm serious. Because of this, 3 of us had a new respect for pigs. Haha. I like this bacon more than the English breakfast because it's not that salty. When we eat it with the pancakes and pour maple syrup over it and then top it up with a little berries, you will scream "I'M IN HEAVEN!". Haha. Max prefers the English breakfast bacon because it's more fatty. Haha.

Last one, Belgian breakfast. The waffles were crazily fluffy and soft. The coconut cream was just nice. Not too thick or what as YX had feared. Mangoes were terribly sweet. Blueberries were like berries lo. Toasted coconut flakes went really well with the waffles. My goodness. If you know me and YX well enough, you will know how much we love and worship flour products. Hahaha. This got us crazy as well.

All of us were in heaven. The entire meal put too much food to shame. And it gave a new meaning to pigs. Thank you for your sacrifice. And please, do not destroy all the wheat on Earth for we will definitely cry and die. Haha.

*Smiling so happily before we attacked the food because we were already very amazed with the whole presentation of the food. Spend quite a fair bit of money on breakfast ($30 each) but we paid happily. It was definitely all worth it. Service there was good as well. Staff were helpful. Lighting was a little too dark for a breakfast place (and thus lousy food photos). But good for after work. Haha. Not a lot of photos taken because I HAVE TO ATTACK THE FOOD! Haha.

Will definitely pull more people there again. It's highly highly highly recommended! Please go!!

Note: No reservation. You have to wait terribly long! Haha. Try to go real early or real late. Hehs.

Swiss Butchery @ Coronation Shopping Plaza

I'm sorry, I love taking my drinks while waiting PATIENTLY for my food you see. Haha. Kelvin was the one who noticed that I love taking photos of my water. HAHAHA! Nothing interesting. Hehs.

Seriously, I'm not someone who understand beer. I have to post the photos. Would someone enlighten what beer is this?! Hehs.

Okay, you know, outdoor means bad lighting and thus, I came up with a super innovative way. Hahaha! Use the flash light from iLights (download the app from iTunes. Only supported in iPhone 4.)

So, first of all, the cod fish fillet burger. Sorry that the photo was a little too far away. I realize that I din even try to zoom in later. Hehs. Urm, because SH started the burger late, it was already a little cold. So, it's not fair for us to say that it's a bit tough. The bread was great, definitely. But the fish was not as soft as I had imagined it to be.

Kelvin's classic burger. Beef patty with bacon and cheese. Oh, it look so pretty hor? Hahaha. It's the first best attempt using iLights. Hahahaha! Patty was a bit tough, bread was superb. Haha!

Here's the burger without the cover. Haha. See the patty, cheese and bacon. Wooo!

Mine! I forgot the name! I'm so sorry. But it's the 2nd burger from the top. Haha. It also have beef patty, bacon and cheese. What's different is that it has mushroom. I LOVEE THE BACON! I'm so taken away by the bacon! Hahaha! The beef patty was really just ok only lo (Oh! Carols from Biopolis have better and softer patties!). I love the bread. I really really love the bread. It has a cripsy outer layer and it's oh, so, soft! YUMS! Bacon bacon I love you! Haha.

Bacon bacon I love you!

Cheese, patty and the greens.

Weng's chicken burger. Woo. The chicken was tastefully marinated. A little salty if you eat it alone. Pretty good if you eat it when the bread! Hehs. Woooo! Seems that I'm really not a great fan of patty meat. Haha. Kelvin actually urm, associated with the mushroom swiss burger from BK. HOLY MOLLY! Hahaha!!

By the way, did you notice that some of us have sides on our plate but some don't? Hehs. You just have to add $2.50 to get the sides. The salads was super super super nice! I love the sauce. My god!! (Hey, if you still don't know me well enough, I hate vegetables but suddenly love vegetables now. Haha! So, it was quite amazing to hear me say, THE SALADS IS SO NICE!)

But back to the salad sauce. It tasted a little sour, sweet, plum taste. Woo. NICE! Hehs. And the whipped potato was good! The sauce is nice! Went together well enough! Haha.

I love sausages. I really do. But, I preferred big big sausages. Wooo. But I have yet to really eat them around. Soon. Hehs. I know there is but I never go to the places to eat. Haha. This sausage has a very tricky name. Haha. And it's the specials of the day. So, urm, ya. Please ask the waitress to give you some recommendations. Hahaha!

I like it. But apparently, I was the only one who really like it. Hahaha! I thought it was soft and juicy enough. But they don't really like the taste of it. Weng don't like black pepper taste. Hehs. Sorry but my man (the meat lover) was not around to taste it. He would have given me a better feedback. Ha!

The pork and cheese sausage bun. Woooo! NICE! The sausage was really good! It was very well-received by the whole table! Ahh! We should have gone ahead to ordering this instead of the above sausage. Seems that knowing how to pronounce those words are better choices after all. LOL!

The sausage was soft enough for my liking. And the cheese will be somewhere in the sausage. And the taste, the texture was good. YUMS!

I heard that this is good for the burgers. Hehs. Not too bad I guess. But, I think the other burgers tasted better than the beef burgers. Haha. I would love to go there for more sausages. Haha. It's a meat place after all! But do note that it can get a little smoking because of the grilling from the kitchen. We have no idea why. HAHA!

Rasa Sayang @ AMK S11

I said I'll go back and try the western food stall at Ang Mo Kio (S11 along the road). I only have to say, I regretted my choice.

In my memory, it was really great. And the queues were always very long. But I was so disappointed. It used to be so good.

I had the black pepper pork chop. Mama thinks that the black pepper was not very peppery. I thought that the meat was not soft enough.

Ah Dear had the chicken chop sphagetti. He thought it was ok, I thought it was so normal. I thought the meat was tough was I tried it. And the spaghetti was pretty normal.

I think the photos look better than it tasted.

But I have to say. The weather was pretty cold and windy and we were sitting right in front of the fan. So that could have made the food cool down TOO QUICKLY. And as a result, all taste is gone. I was so digusted by the fries that I actually lose my appetite the moment I thought of fries and potato was I was buying Popeyes for my brother. (If you had known me well enough, you would know that I love potatoes so much that I cannot live without it right?)

But urm, I have no idea if it is the temperature of the food or the real taste of the food. No, I don't think I would patronize it in any near future. =( Where was the nice western food I was going back for?

Aston @ Sembawang Shopping Center

I do not understand the hype over Aston across Singapore. Seriously, there's always a long queue! I began to wonder if the food is that nice? But heys, I think it's more because of the price. Lol.

But to test out the hypothesis, we have to try it (we are getting pretty poor anyway). And of course, I picked the branch that's in the most perfect location to us! Sembawang Shopping Center! Haha. We can go home easily from there and the queue will not be as long as the town area. Lol! So, we traveled from Suntec back to Sembawang again. =D

I would say, I would not want to go back there again.

The deco of the place was not too bad. It does gives a better environment that the warm warm hawker center. But heys, the air-con does not seem to be working well on the day we went though. Haha.


Since sometime back, I've joined my dear in ordering steaks when we go to places that offer that. Haha. So, he ordered a sirloin steak and I ordered a ribeye steak. And keep in mind, we requested for it to be done to medium.

Dear's sirloin. Like many of the places who don't do their steaks well, this one has only the middle part done to medium. The rest are all 100% cooked! As a result, the meat is so tough. I don't like it.


Every set comes with 2 side dishes of your choice. I have to say, the side dishes are so much better than the main dish itself. But the onion rings were too soggy for our liking. No, onion rings should not taste like this. The mash potato was pretty good though.

And I have a lot a lot of complains for my ribeye steak. Remember I said, I want it medium done? Look at the blood on the surface of the steak! (Ok, it was not that obvious here. Haha. I also did not take the photo of the cut steak before we ask for a new one. Lol!) But it was medium rare and below ba. It's like only the surface is cooked! Gosh.


So, we asked for a new one. Can you see a little color difference? Anyway, this new piece was so much better. And it was really medium. If they had recooked the old piece, I swear, I'll do something to them. Luckily, they did not. But I half suspect that they reuse the side dishes though. Because the fries at the bottom had blood stains. Lol.


Come to think of it, why didn't someone came and apologize to us? Lol. Even when they represent us the plate, they did not actually said sorry. It's not that difficult and it doesn't take so long right?

But heys, the corn is really very very nice! And I love the fries too! That made me forgot about any bad things I wanted to think about Aston. Lol. Please order the corn even though it gets super messy and unglamorous to eat them. LOL! You know that it's so juicy that the juice will squirt out?! Haha.

Something I don't like is, they charge us for ice water. Ok fine, it's not a lot of money but I don't like restaurants to charge for ice water. Because they are just tap water with a few pieces of ice. Haha. But wells, since they are not charging us a lot and that no service charge was paid, ok fine. Lol. I cannot complain much anyway.


At the end, we only spend $27. Haha.


But no, I will not return to a place just because it is cheap. I would seriously go to the hawker center for their western food instead. There are really some places that sells really very nice ones. Ang Mo Kio for example (their queue is horrendous can?). Ok, that's it, I'm going there soon! =D
