Firstly, this is my message for you today: For God so loved us that He sent His only Son to die on the cross for our sins, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Thank you Jesus. (and thank you for hot cross buns)
Tons of crispiness, deliciousness and sinfulness. Add that to the whole 'it's a Good Friday morning' and 'this is local food' vibes... Our trip here paid off and we were all happy :)
One of the most satisfying nasi padang I've had in a looooooooooooooong time!!!
Seriously I couldn't tell you which stall this 7000000-calorie styrofoam plate of char kueh came from except that it can be found in Newton Circus food centre because my mom ordered this but this plate really impressed me at a place (much hyped about) like this. Cheap and good, keeping it real for food 👍
This was one pretty darn delicious popiah albeit the loosely-packed appearance of the wrap. We weren't expecting much from the look of this, really, but boy, did it blow our minds off when we ate it. Nomnomnommm
DID YOU KNOW? Mary's Tau Kwa Pau moved here?? I was super excited to find out about it but was slightly disappointed when I discovered for myself that the tau kwa pau served here is no longer as fragrant and delicious as it used to be! :(
My mom says this one has a skin made out of rice flour and not the usual translucent tapioca flour. She seemed to hint at this being her preferred choice of flour as rice flour is apparently the more expensive of the two... Personally, I prefer skin made out of tapioca flour because of it's springy texture, plus the glassy appearance of the skin somewhat appeals to me. Also, unfortunately for this new-found discovery, the downside to this rice flour soon kueh was the hint of rice flour taste which I couldn't quite get used to!
Not the smoothest panna cotta I've had but what it lacked in texture it made up for in the flavours served in this trio of sorbet, vanilla panna cotta and mixed berries/purée. I'm a sucker for vanilla and berries so I shan't go any further there. The lemon sorbet, however, was so gooood. I don't like lemon flavoured food in particular but this sorbet didn't contain that "Mama Lemon"-synthetic lemon syrup after-taste and was sprightly, to say the least, in its icy-sour mix. The only other time I remember having a similar experience with lemon sorbet was the one served at Taratata Bistro, another French bistro down at Keong Saik St :)
A good red-wine sauce and smokey pork belly saved this dish from becoming almost subpar compared to the rest of the dishes we had. I mean, the chicken wasn't done badly. It was a little too clean in taste for my liking, so the sauce made a good cover up. The sauce was great because it doesn't taste like a sauce where you can't tell there's red wine in it. No I'm not saying it's extremely strong in wine flavour either but the point is, it's not a FLAT sauce. Like the kind you know is pre-made with tons of preservatives and frozen for keeps and as you taste it you only taste one kind of flavour. As I savoured every mouthful, I sensed I was eating more than just a chicken-in-sauce. At least this was what I remember of the dish, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's thinking of giving it a try.
A great medium-rare beef patty in this one. Well-seasoned (yes!!! Finally found THE seasoned burger!!), and yes, although it is always advised to order a patty well done, I guess we'll always love the medium-rare order, bacteria or not :x The patty's stuffed with foie gras which wasn't totally necessary BUT got 'good food won't complain', heheheh...
I enjoyed every part of the set lunch/es we had, including this appetiser of Pork Terrine and pickled greens. This starter came with it's own bread but it was better on its own! (The complimentary bread served before the meal though, was a different story😍😍）
