Name: Dry spicy minced meat pork balls noodle
Priced at: 9.90 SGD
Such a long name, no?
There's nothing really left for me to say except that it's not really dry because there's some sort of soup base at the bottom of the bowl, and that's the part where the spiciness gets intense. Like REAL intense. Like the I-need-ice-cream-now-and-this-is-not-an-excuse-to-eat-ice-cream kind of intense.
The pork balls were really good though.
Name: Truffle Fries
Price: 5.50SGD
In your life you will find that one food that will stand the test of time. For me, it's fries - my spirit food. I orginally thought that McDonald's and I have this mutually exclusive relationship, but Burger Bar had to come with TRUFFLE POWDER on its fries. It's like a childhood friend who's suddenly grown up all hot.
In more technical and less disturbing matters, the truffle thing could have been better if it were in a liquidy-sauce form (like ketchup), but who am I to complain?! As long as my middle-class ass can have access to TRUFFLES with FRIES, I should just shut up and stuff my mouth with it.

Name: Roasted Char Siew with Rice
Price: 12SGD
I have a few friends coming over to SG in a few months and this is the only place that I could think of bringing them to. Not even USS.
They slather on such a generously thick and excellent bbq sauce over what is probably the softest char siew I have ever tried. It just swims in your mouth like it belongs there.
While I like to proclaim myself as a lover of cakes in all shapes, sizes, color, nationality, ethnicity and world peace, I am frankly a bit hesitant to cheesecake because of those weird berries that they top it with.
The cranberry cheesecake from this place surprisingly blends in very well. Can't believe that cheesecake could actually taste great without Oreos.
Where: Cake Spade, Orchid Hotel, Tanjong Pagar
What: Nutella oatmeal brownie with ice cream
Price: 7.50SGD
Served warm topped with a huge glob of ice cream on top, the nutella brownie will melt in your mouth simultaneously with the vanilla ice cream in all the right ways.
Ok, so the warm brownie with the ice cream is not really an original concept, but nutella. Need I say more? Seriously though, the nutella and the outmeal MELTS in your mouth and it feels like it's giving you a hug after a long week of putting up with life.
On more practical matters, 7.50SGD is frankly a little too much. It's cheaper (4.50SGD) if you get it w/out the ice cream, but why would you even do that?
Overall, I think it's perfect if you want to reward yourself after a month of overtimes.
