Hawaiian Bowl ($11.90)

The açaí was more on the icy side, though I still prefer a creamier texture. It was not as sweet as the others that I’ve eaten before though, which is a plus for me! I like the natural sweetness of açaí. :) It also comes with chia seed pudding.

The portion is really quite big, was more than enough to share between 2 people :)
The toppings given (fruits, nuts and almond butter) were really generous 🤩

Finally went to try this after seeing the good reviews! I ordered the noodles instead of the rice since many reviews recommended it (while my mum ordered the rice). And YES, indeed, the noodles were way better! Not that the rice was bad haha it was just nothing special. Whereas the noodles were springy and firm. 😋

The chicken was good too! Soft, juicy and well-marinated. But like what many reviews have mentioned, the char siew was GREAT 😻✨ You should definitely try it!!!

The portions were more generous than I expected, considering the really affordable prices!! Be prepared to queue though, we started queuing at 10.05am and only got to eat at 11am 🌚 I really don't like queuing so I probably wouldn't be back again, but as a whole I really enjoyed this meal so it's pretty worth it just for a try :)

Dropped by while exploring the Joo Chiat area with my mum and got ourselves a lychee raspberry cone ($5.70)! A tad expensive but it was really refreshing and unique. The cone was really crispy too, which is always a plus. Got to try a little bit of the white chrysanthemum gelato and it was lovely as well, have never tried something like that before! Really special flavours here, would love to try the other flavours next time 🤓

Also a place with great service and lovely decor, love the botanical fusion vibe.

I've been to Antoinette twice, once to the Penhas Road outlet and once to the Mandarin Gallery outlet! Both outlets are extremely pretty and grand. It's really quiet and has good service too, so perfect for a luxurious afternoon tea 😛

I've never really tried their main dishes so can't comment on that, but their desserts are always A+ 😋 I've tried the Salted Egg Croissant, Mont Blanc, Kyoto (Green Tea), Chloe (Yuzu), Milk Chocolate Mousse, and Passionfruit Green Tea. Everything was delicious, but would really recommend the Milk Chocolate Mousse! Creamy, sweet and rich. I really liked Chloe as well, because I enjoy the refreshing taste of yuzu. My mum loved the croissant because she just loves croissant in general 😂

The tea that I originally wanted wasn't available that day, but passionfruit green tea was pretty good anyway because it balanced the sweetness of the cakes.

Prices are definitely high, but the desserts can be quite sinful anyway so you can share with your friends/family ☺️

One of the few lovely cafes that are near my place! Dropped by this place with my mum after hearing good reviews about the waffles and indeed, the waffles are good. Crispy and light, just the way I like it.

The lavender ice-cream was rich and delightful, and it matched well with the refreshing berries/orange/grapefruit (this set is called Sweet Summer).

My mum got the Kaya set and it was great as well! Kaya goes surprisingly well with waffles.

Portions were quite big so it's pretty value for money ☺️ Friendly service, super cute cat decor 😸 In general, a nice place to chill/for brunch!

I am a huge, huge fan of Mr Bean and I've tried so many of their items - classic soya milk, pancakes, 3-in-1 riceballs, eggwich, pearly taro soya milk, icy matcha azuki soya milk, soya icecream, soya matcha icecream, soya pudding... They had black soya bean milk/icecream as seasonal items a few months ago and I loved them as well 😻

My favourites are definitely the classic soya milk and the soya icecream! They're my go-to whenever I need a snack/pick-me-up. They're rather affordable too as compared to the other beverages/icecream options out there ☺️ I love that their items have a very rich and distinct soya taste/fragrance and it's not diluted at all. It really feels very natural and healthy 😼

Plus, the Mr Bean character is SO CUTE I just can't deal hahaha I always look forward to seeing Mr Bean in different costumes/outfits 😂 And the staff here is always very friendly!

Visited Pablo with my mum and we ordered the cheese tart tea set (a slice of cheese tart + a cup of tea), a slice of the premium cheese tart and a matcha soft serve cone!

We've heard so many great things about Pablo but unfortunately we were slightly disappointed with the cheese tart. It was light and soft, which is great, but just not what we had in mind/what we liked. The cheese taste wasn't strong and rich enough for us 😟 But to others who prefer a more refreshing cheese taste, this might be the one for ya.

The premium cheese tart, on the other hand, ticked all the boxes for us. It was milky, dense and flavourful. It is inspired by crème brûlée and has a crispy caramel glaze on it, making it even better 😍 Would definitely recommend getting that if you are a fan of rich cheese tarts.

I went on to try the matcha soft serve and I love it! It was more cheesy than matcha tbh but I like it, it was creamy, smooth and rather firm. It is quite a huge cone too so it's quite value for money I would say, best if you can share it with someone!

Dropped by Carpenter and Cook for a nice afternoon tea since it's quite near my place and I'm a huge fan of sweet treats 🍬 Ordered the chocolate sea salt caramel tart, passionfruit meringue tart, lemon cream tart as well as a lovely pot of rose with french vanilla tea to go with them.

Everything was nice but the passionfruit meringue tart stood out the most to me because I've never tried it before and it's a perfect balance of sweet and citrus zest. Very refreshing! The chocolate tart was not as mind-blowing as I expected it to be but still good! Very rich, and I love the touch of sea salt on it as it really brings out the flavours.

What struck me the most was the decor of the place! Lots of wooden furniture and random vintage knick-knacks, I LOVED IT. Very quaint and cosy! Plus, great service. Prices are rather steep though for the portions, but overall a nice place for a lovely afternoon catch-up. ✨

I've been to Dofu twice. It serves some really healthy and yummy black soya ice-cream 😋 I like everything that has to do with soya, so this is right up my alley. Texture of the soft serve is firm and creamy, and the taste has a light soya fragrance. I also like that it is not tooooo sweet :)

I got the regular ($4.90) with two toppings - strawberry and vanilla cocoa granola. I love granola and it went incredibly well with the soft serve! Added a bit of a crunch to it hehe.

My mum got the mix of black soya icecream + black soya pudding and really liked if too!

Unfortunately, Dofu is closing down soon :-( It's such a pity since I really like it 😭 But I'm glad that I got to try it before it closes. Hope to see it come back again someday!

Sorry for this not-very-flattering photo of the beehoon! I'm a long time fan of this place and have visited many many many times 😂 The beehoon is always excellent! Firm and flavourful and filled with so many ingredients 😻 The other dishes, though, are pretty normal.

I always wondered how it would taste when it's dabao-ed and thankfully it still tastes as great!!! I was pleasantly surprised at how the beehoon managed to m stay firm even when I only got to eat it like 4 hours later. Yumz!

Ayam Panggang is always a good idea. One of my favourite things to eat in school!

Love the curry, and the chicken is so juicy and well-marinated!!! I also really like the cherry tomatoes that come with it because I think they balance the spicy and sweet flavours of the curry and chicken. The chili is really spicy though so please add with care HAHA.

This is probably the #1 thing I'm going to miss after I graduate. :'( I developed a love for mala during exchange in Sweden (sounds strange but yes) and since then I've tried a few mala options but nothing beats this 😭

The 小辣 here is a bit spicier than the 小辣 elsewhere but trust me, the kick is what makes it extra delicious! So much flavour in every mouthful 😻 Portion is generous and price is rather affordable too.

Hands down the best thing to eat at The Deck if you can take spicy food hehe 👍🏻
