The chicken rice stall is my second favourite stall at The Deck (the first being MALAAA).

Was impressed with it the first time I ate it! I love how firm and fragrant the rice is. Plus the chicken is really well-marinated as well! The roasted pork is really good and crispy too 😻 The char siew is nothing special though. I also like the soup (although it's probably just MSG LOL), it tastes better than all the other chicken rice soup outside!!!

The queue is long but service is fast. So try this the next time you come to The Deck! Imho it's better than the YTF 😂

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!

I've been to Paul twice, once for lunch and once for some desserts. The lunch set is pretty value for money! I tried the grilled chicken and it was not bad 😊 Portions are good too.

Desserts are also pretty good, especially the meringue tarts! The millefeuille chocolat was rather mediocre though.

My main issue with this place would be the service, it is honestly lacking and the staff there looks so confused all the time. The ambiance could be better too. Decor-wise it looks really upscale and elegant but the service and the noise levels just don't match the expectations. 😐

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. ✨

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!

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!

Finally tried Hambaobao after hearing so many good things about it! It is super popular and food runs out mid-afternoon so best to go earlier 😛

Ordered the Crispy Pork Belly Burger and the Pulled Pork Burger + handcut fries. Tbh I had high expectations for the crispy pork but was slightly disappointed because it was a bit too oily/fatty for my liking. Plus I'm not a fan of mustard. With that said, it was still a really good burger with generous pieces of meat! The pulled pork burger was really good too. And the handcut fries, yumzzz. 🍟

I'm a huge fan of fusion/locally-inspired food so this was definitely up my alley. And $5 is pretty reasonable for burgers too!

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!

To me, chicken rice is always the number one food to fall back on when I'm not sure what to eat. It's good comfort food and it always reminds me of home (especially when I'm overseas!)

I always thought chicken rice tastes the same everywhere but boy was I wrong. It's definitely one of the best chicken rice I've ever tasted!

Chicken was tender and flavourful, and the RICE 😍 Super fragrant and firm, I loved it!

Ordered some sambal kangkong and some prawns (I don't remember what kind) and they were all good! All in all a really satisfying lunch. ☺️

Service is nothing to shout about but it isn't bad either, just a simple and fuss-free place to get some homely comfort food. Prices are very reasonable too. Will probably be back for more!

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 ☺️

Waa Cow is one of the best places to eat in NUS (and probably also the most expensive place 😂)

I've been here twice and the food is really really gooooood. I got the Mentaiko Wagyu Beef Don and it was perfect 💯 I'm usually not a fan of beef tbh but this is really melt-in-your-mouth kind of goodness!!! And MENTAIKO, say no more. Anything with mentaiko is my weakness 😭

Mixed everything together and every mouthful was an explosion of both flavours and texture 😍

It is really quite expensive though, and for the price the portion is a little small I would say. But definitely worth 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.
