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!

3-inch sin

This place is like a heaven. Haha. Great desserts!! LOVE IT LOADS!

 

Menu

I love the rustic feeling the whole cluny court gave. Hehs.

Okay, are you ready? Lets's start. Haha.

First, the dark side. It's made of dark chocolate I think. It's like a layer of chocolate with the tart crust. Urm, did my description made it too simple? Haha. I think I did. But I would say the chocolates were nicely made. And the thickness was just great! This was YQ's favourite because he likes dark chocolates.

This cake has a very cute name! Lost in the black forest. HAHAHA! I erm, translated it to 失踪在黑森林。Hahaha! Talk about direct translation huh? HAHAHAH! It was nice because it was on special sale. Most of the time they would only sell it as a whole cake. But the day we went, they offered it as slices. Woohoo! Life is good huh?

My goodness. This blackforest cake totally took my breath away. It was really very nice! See the thick cream? It was really very nice! Not overloading because it was just great. The cake was soft, the chocolates was good and the berries were yummy. OH MY GOD! I wanted to take the whole cake for myself. Haha. I was already planning to get it as a birthday cake somehow or another sia! Hehs. And by the way, this is really my favorite. Weng's too! Because we love to eat cakes. So, cakey feel is more for us! =D

And this is a must must must try in 3-inch sin. Hehs. The molten cake. They had a chat with the boss/in-charge or I have no idea who. The original, hazelnut and the bitter orange is the most popular. The top 3 of the menu. Hehs. Well, that was for a reason man! It was heavenly!

They look the same from the outside. Hehs.

Bitter orange.

Larva flowing out.

 It was crazy. The chocolates in your mouth. Woo! Haha. But I would still want to get lost in the dark forest because I am not a super big fan of chocolate larva cake. Hehs. Too chocolatey for my liking. But I never say I would reject them. This has to be said if you ask me which one to choose. Hahaha! YX and SH prefer this. Haha. They like the warm feel in the mouth.

And of the 3 of the molten cake, we have differing views again. LOL! Weng and I voted for the bitter orange because I felt that the orange added a brand new taste on top of the chocolates. Just chocolates was a little plain. SH and YX and I think Kelvin voted for the hazelnut. Well, it's nice too because there a crunchy taste to it. YQ preferred the original. Haha. Differing taste from different people. And that's the reason why I prefer to eat in groups. We get to try a lot of things and I can get views from different people at the same time. Isn't that wonderful? Haha.

The address:

Chin Chin Eating House @ Purvis Street

Well, this was certainly not something that we have planned for. But the place we have planned for has closed its kitchen for lunch. So no choice, we went down Purvis Street looking for food. Hehs. Since it was recommended by Weng and Kelvin, alrights! Here we go.

Very laid back Chinese place I would say. Simple food fare. Something that I always love. =D Cheap and nice and yummy! Isit it great? Hehs.

This is Weng's favourite. The pork chop. It was cooked in tomato sauce (but a little diluted in the tomato taste, as in most of the chinese food). It came so fast that we were so amazed. Sad thing was that the dish was not piping hot! Boo!

The pork was thinly sliced and fried before cooking in the sauce of theirs. I would prefer more tomato taste (I think it was because I love the way my mama cook at home. Hehs.) Texture was not too bad. But I wanted to comment is that, it's erm, pork chop lo. Haha. You know what I mean.

I love the way they cook their potato because I love the way my mama cooks it too! They just cut the potato and fry it a little to give the nice coating I love in potatoes. And then, now it goes with the dish too. Apparently, it is not very obvious because I was the only one who noticed the potatoes. Haha!

 Vegetables were normal. Nothing too exciting about it.

The best is the chicken! Woohoo! I loveee it. Hehs. It's soft and the sauce is nice. Best thing: DEBONED! Hahaha. I don't like chickens with bones you see. Hehs. *Pampered* But this was half a chicken so hehs, quite a big serving right? Nice! It's currently one of my favouritest chicken rice now! Hahahaha.

They gave us a bowl of soup each. Well, nothing special about it.

 

I ordered their luo han guo drink. It's some herbal tea that's cooling for us. Hehs. I like!!!

I really got a surprise when I open up the cup to look at the contents. They are really very very generous with their serving of the longans! Woohoo! I ate them all out. Haha. But you would have to open the cup in order to access them of course. Haha!

On the whole, not too bad but not very fantastic for the chi cha but pretty good for the chickens! Not too bad a try if you are at Purvis street because we are unable to find a place to really enter you see. Hehs.

I really have no idea how much it cost because it's paid before I realized it. I forgot to ask. But I know that it's supposed to be pretty cheap. Address wise. Sorry, since we bounce in, I have no idea. Hahahaha! But just walk along Purvis Street. The chickens will be something you will not miss!

Teck Kee Buns II

Went back to my favorite bun place the other day! Yum yum!

You know, I was trying hard to look for their signboard so that I can take a photo of it, I was unable to do so! Hahaha! Hmmmmm. So, I took this instead. (But the man told me that the signboard is outside the building after I complained to him. So, look out for the signboard outside the building then. Hehs.)

Look at their buns! This is so Singaporean! Hehs. I loveee it!

It's actually my first time visiting the shop, so I was so excited when I saw the old looking kitchen of theirs. I have a fetish for old shops you see.

And they have this mirror that I cannot fathom the use of. To, expand the visual space of the shop? Haha. No idea. But well, it gave us a chance to look at our hair/camwhore while waiting for our orders though.

So, since we are back with a growling stomach (due to not eating much the whole day), we grabbed a bun each (ok, I grabbed 2). Haha. Ate them right on the spot (well, almost!).

As usual, the buns were heavenly to me, but 'it's-just-another-bun' to the man. Haha. You seriously don't see our Lotus going after all the buns we buy! But she remembered clearly that this place sells nice buns. The moment we alight from the bus, she told us to buy the buns immediately! And after finishing the big pork bun, she was still yearning for more. Well, so I have no choice but to share my lotus bun with her. Haha. (We love flour related products. Hahaha!)

Look at the Lotus paste. Yum yum. I love the fact that it's not too sweet and not too not sweet for me (?). Hahahahaha!

Another look at my lotus bun under different lighting. Haha.

Ok, I guess I had reviewed about a few buns the other time. I still want to erm, show you some more buns photos. Haha. (You know, my camera just came back from coma, so, I have to snap snap snap and snap!)

Char siew bun

Red bean paste bun

Insides of the red bean paste bun

I was trying so hard to decided which is my favouritest bun. I simply could not do it.

Char siew bun is nice because of the meat inside. But I felt that the bun skin is nicer for the lotus paste and the red bean paste. But the lotus paste and the red bean paste are pastes, so they should not be compared with the meat. (Well, I like all 3 you see.)

So, since it's not too big and not too expensive, when my mama asked me what I would like to have, I told her I want all 3 of them. Hahahahaha! =D

Till the next time I eat them again! WooOooHoooO!

Papaya Milk

Hahaha. It have been myth to boost your bust line. But seriously, does it realllly? No, I don't feel so. Lol.

My first encounter with papaya milk was at Taiwan (the 7-11 version). Back then, I still have the 'turn-off' thoughts because I generally do not like the taste of milk. But boy, the first taste changed my perception of milk, or rather papaya milk immediately.

I tried it out of coercing by the man. You should have seen the facial expression change. Haha. It turned from 'Argh, I'm doing it for you. This is so scary.' to 'A! This is nice!'. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Missed it a lot after I came back to Singapore. BOY! I'm so so so so so happy when I saw this when I was shopping at Cold Storage one day!

It was 3 for $3, so it is $1 per packet, which is $1 for 250 mL of papaya milk. Hmmm. A little expensive, I would say. Well, if you compare it to the ones we got it from Taiwan!! Haha. It's the same brand! Just that the packaging is a little different.

Love the texture. It's a little thicker than the normal milk you will find. And I love the union of papaya and milk. The sugar level was okay for me (considering that I don't really like sweet stuffs). The smell was nice. And the man love it. Haha. What's more, I am imagining that the bust line myth is real. LOL!

Give it a try!

Duck Rice at Holland Market

I love going to the Holland Market for lunch when I'm free! That's because I can save quite a bit of lunch money. In addition, I can get better hawker food! Wooohooo!

One of my favorite stalls there have to be the duck rice stall. You will notice that many of the tables have red plates/bowls on their tables. Well, that's because, a lot of people actually order from them! There's always a looooong queue. Well, not a visible queue because they offer to bring the dishes to you instead. And you will know there is a loooooong queue because we have to wait exceptionally looooong for the food and that you will see a lot of 'waiting numbers' at the stall itself.

I love the kway chap, but maybe we should leave this to another time. Let's talk about the duck rice first.

The last time we went there, we ordered half a duck with several other side dishes since we have a party of 4. Well, inclusive of 5 rice and a lot of soup, it only cost us $19.60 (if I did not remember wrongly).

Well, braised egg is always a must for me when I order duck rice most of the time. Haha. I love it despite the fact that I usually leave the yolk out. Haha. They all taste the same to me, so I have no much comments about it. But I love the eggs with darker colors. The ones that my mama braised at home is usually very lightly colored. LOL.

Ok, that aside, the main thing is our duckie!

Ok, the presentation may not be very pretty (oh come on, what do you really expect from hawker centers?!). BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT! Once you taste it, you'll realize that the meat is pretty tender. I like I like! I've recommended a few friends to try it and they also felt the same thing. WOOHOO! Yums.

And what's more, I love the rice (sorry, I forgot to take a photo of it. LOL!). Rice grains itself is pretty normal I think. But they spread a gravy on top of the rice to make it taste really nice. Well, I personally like to have gravy or soup over my rice. And that's why it's my cup of tea. SO! If you like dry rice, I guess, you may not enjoy it ba.

Yum yums!

And well, when I eat alone, I will tend to order a plate with an egg. That's about $2.80 if I did not remember wrongly. WHERE CAN YOU FIND SUCH CHEAP FOOD NOWADAYS?! Haha.

Nearest MRT: Buona Vista Station
Direction: Walk out of the station and cross the road somehow. Walk towards the market. The hawker center is at level 2. There should be only one stall selling duck rice and kway chap.
