Just tried out the latest drink in Starbucks. The staff said the base is the usual caramel frappe topped with “coffee bubbles”.

These bubbles explode in your mouth when you bite them and the coffee liquid flows out. It’s an interesting drink to taste.

But the coffee liquid might come off as a little bitter/sour to some.

Overall, it’s not too bad. Worth a try but probably would still prefer my java chip the next time round 🙆🏻‍♀️

Any Starbucks / $7.90
Was hesitant to try it at first cause I’m not a big fan of overly sweetened drinks. But was craving for a caffeine-free drink. Thus, I ask for it to be less sweet and the end product was great. Light mango taste, pretty refreshing and the mango bits gave you occasional burst of sweetness.

Try it!

Got to say that Salted Caramel is one of my fave ice cream places. Not a fave of ice cream but this place has got some of the best flavours and taste.

Salted Caramel: Default must-order flavour whenever I visit this place. It’s a good amalgamation of saltiness and caramelised sweetness while not making it too ‘thick’. The ice cream is smooth and delivers each of the flavours to your tastebuds.

Earl Grey: I love tea in ice cream form. It fulfils my tea and dessert cravings all at once. The earl grey flavour is just-nice, not overpowering or too light.

Camomile honey: New flavour I think? Tried this for the first time. The honey was definitely present and not mixed into the ice cream blend. That made the texture more interesting and you could distinctly taste the honey and the camomile flavour bursting through after. I loved it.😋

It was my first time trying out a Sorbet flavour @ Salted Caramel. Been in love with passionfruit recently and decided to go with this.

Loved the flavour mix of mango and passionfruit, resulting in a sweet yet refreshing light spoonful each time you pop it in your mouth.

Hearty clear soup base. Great for rainy weather.
Portion was good and pretty value for money.

$4.50 per slice 🍕 (varies from pizza selection)

Disclaimer: I love Italian pizza and this is slightly different but equally yummy.

The thin crust is crispy and sturdy as it holds all the ingredients in place (not soggy at all!)

For my pizza choice,the filings are quite “Italian” which was what I was looking for. Soft & fluffy inside with burst of flavours from the mushrooms, egg and ham, topped with dried herbs.

PIZZALICIOUS AND WOULD COME BACK TO TRY OTHER FLAVOURS SOON! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

$12.90

Thin crispy battered layer on the outside, soft succulent fish filet.

Could visibly see that the battered layer had a few types of herbs in it which made it rather aromatic with each bite.

Potato salad was alright ,not too soft or hard. Nothing too fancy

Would not recommend to have egg salad with potato salad. Way too much mayo sauce in one meal.

& egg salad was pretty meh. Egg chunks were pretty tough and would think that it might be overcooked. Nothing fancy and would preferred it chilled instead of room temperature, as it tasted quite “eggy”

Best part of the dish would be the main star - crispy fish

Would not travel for this but would drop by if I’m in the vicinity

$15.5+ lunch deal
Includes one main, one side and a drink (hot/iced tea)

Definitely my to-go for Vietnamese food. Totally worth the value cause the mains and sides are absolutely delicious. Everything was done to near perfection (in my opinion). And i appreciate restaurants who do every single dish well and not just a few of their signature dishes. Allows me to try out more dishes since everything taste amazing.

Usually I would order their pho as it is really yummy (the broth is the same for diff ingredients so it only depends on which meat you prefer eg. beef,duck etc) . The broth is light yet flavorful and the noodles have the right texture.

This time round, I’ve ordered the twice cooked duck leg with the dry noodles. Duck leg was tender and had some crisp skin on. Duck fats were also just the right amount. The noodles were slightly dry, would love to have more dressing on it. Noodles texture were slightly on the tough side but still alright. The dressing kept it light and tasty.

For my side dish , I had the prawn spring rolls dipped in plum sauce. Crispy and meaty, the sauce made it more interesting with more flavours swirling in my mouth.

Another side dish I would recommend is the viet nachos - black sesame crispy pancake like crackers with tasty pulled pork drizzled with nacho cheese. The portioning for this would be the most worth it out of all other side dish.

$10 Nürnberger Dog
$4 Fries
$10 Pale Ale with passionfruit aroma

My favourite lunch/dinner hotdog place around Raffles. The hotdog bun used was the pretzel bun which gave it a slightly buttery taste. I loved it. The sausage is juicy and meaty - tasted real if you know what I mean, not those fake hotdogs. Also, the Nürnberger Dog also had potato salad & wholegrain mustard, topped with chives bits & mayonnaise. The flavours blended well together and excited my tastebuds with some of my favourite ingredients.

Fries are good as well. Thin cut, crispy yet not too oily. Dipped them in mayo + tomato/chili - simply my preferred way to eat em fries.

Pale Ale had the passion fruit aroma, and texture was not too bad. Pretty light and drinkable.

$8 for full pork and ham sandwich. Loved the pickled vegetables stuffed in the sandwich along with the thinly sliced pork and ham. The pickled carrot/cucumber/radish made the sandwich more refreshing and complimented the meat well.

$4.70 + $1 (cone)
Interesting gelato flavours for selection.
Vanilla fig was very smooth and rich in flavour. The thyme cone added a crisp texture and more aroma to the main star - gelato.
