As we’re in the mood for celebrating Singapore’s 55th birthday, don’t miss out on @butterknifefolk’s limited-time National Day gelato flavours u guys!

They have more than 20 interesting flavours, such as chicken rice, rojak, laksa, muah chee, chendol, ondeh ondeh, orh nee and even chilli crab 🦀! It’s very hard to choose just one flavour, so you can go for the 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐨 ($5/ set), which let you taste three flavours in one go 👍🏼

I tried:
* 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞
* 𝐓𝐞𝐡 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐤
* 𝐓𝐚𝐮 𝐇𝐮𝐚𝐲 𝐙𝐮𝐢
* 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭
* 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐠
* 𝐆𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐤𝐞

The sweet flavours are tbh pretty safe and enjoyable, but I find the chicken rice flavour too overwhelming 😅, though I must say I was really impressed at how similar its taste was to a real chicken rice 👏🏻 and I’m no longer curious now.

I particularly find the 𝐓𝐚𝐮 𝐇𝐮𝐚𝐲 𝐙𝐮𝐢 one very nice if u’re looking for a savoury flavour! 😍

The first long queue that I spotted at Zion Road FC was in front of Boon Tong Kee Kway Chap Braised Duck stall. I’m not a big fan of kway chap so I ordered their 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐥, which consisted of braised duck rice with preserved vegetables, tau kwa and braised hard boil egg.
.
.
The presentation was really appealing, but I was quite disappointed with the taste. It was just overwhelmingly salty, from the rice, meat, preserved veggies, and soup.
.
.
If the rice were to be less salty, and the preserved vegetables more tangy, I think I’d have enjoyed the dish better 🙂 The chilli was nice btw!

Ordered the 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞 for $8. It was quite pricey for a hawker food, but trust me, it’s really worth the price and the queueing time (it took me ~30 mins).

The broth was incredibly rich, tasty and comforting with a tinge of sweetness. As it’s my first experience eating prawn noodle, I was also surprised to find fall-off-the-bone pork ribs in my soup below the two fresh giant prawns. It was really delicious, and I didn’t hesitate to drink more of the rich yet light broth.

The noodle was the thick yellow vermicelli type that was cooked al dente. Initially thought that the noodle would be bland, but it was addictively yummy and served with fragrant fried shallots. The soup and the noodle really made a souper match! 👍🏼
.
.
It’s amazing that the stall was run by just one uncle, who, despite having to prepare for the seemingly unending orders, still greeted each of the customers amicably. His friendliness made me forget the tiredness from standing in the queue for so long ☺️

Would recommend you to try this prawn noodle if you haven’t already!

Finally tried the famous Ah Tan Wings @ahtanwings without having to travel so far to Yishun!

I had the 𝐀𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐥 ($5.20), which came with an aromatic rice (like nasi lemak) with four pieces (two drumlets and two wings) of har cheong gai, and a sunny side-up egg. It was such a satisfying and affordable meal with crispy, fragrant and juicy chicken wings! 😋

Fyi 👉🏼 The stall at Timbre+ closes quite early at 8pm 👈🏼

🌈 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 ($24++) — (Ricotta cheese, Hokkaido milk, fresh mixed berries, cardamom maple syrup, Kapiti vanilla bean ice cream)
This is the 4th hotcakes that I’ve ever had and it has the best texture. While all the other hotcakes I tried were thick and soft, they were too dense and dry. So this hotcakes surpasses them with its light and slightly moist texture. I can also tell that the vanilla ice cream is of high quality. It’s really tasty!

🍌 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 ($8++) — Very moist and pleasant banana cake that’s not overly sweet. It is complemented by fresh berries and crunchy chocolate feuilletine that has notes of dark chocolate roast. Get this one too!

They are super good!!! The Cheese cake has a crinkly top, while the Earl Grey cake top is flatter and smoother. We savour every slice of the cake as it has a smooth texture and is mildly sweet. More pictures of the individual cake are coming up in the next few posts 😋

It was a thick fluffy pancake with sweet maple syrup, vanilla ice cream, fresh berries and nuts. So much goodness in one plate 😋

The pasta was garlicky, which I love, and the mentaiko sauce wasn't too thick. It's really a love from the first sight and taste. Sadly, it is no longer available in the menu ☹️ The third slide shows the 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢 that was tossed in tangy and mild spicy tomato cream and served with fish roe, while the last picture shows the 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐤𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢 with crispy fried garlic garnish. Only the Baby Crayfish Spaghetti is still available today, together with the other new menus 🙂

I like that the brownie has a crackly top and the salt sprinkle creates a perfect salty-sweet flavour combination. Its texture was slightly denser and more fudgy than some of the brownies I had before, so I usually had either just two mini slices or one slice with a regular cookie for quick snacks 🙂
.

.
Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase in terms of the price and quality (packaging and taste). It’s time to burn the calories so I can eat more sweet treats 😙

Big, thick and chewy Levain-style cookies are so trending right now, so I was so excited to try these Thickies+. Each 🍪 was huge and heavy that I had to handle it with care because I didn’t want it to break, just yet! We all know that ‘breaking the cookie’ is like a must-do ritual when you have such thicc cookies because the gooey cross-sections must make it to the gram 🤪
.
.
As expected, the cookies were gooey and chewy with rich Nutella fillings. They tasted amazing when they were slightly warm, and a dip to a glass of cold milk elevated the experience further. Well, I can say that I’m satisfied with my first thicc 🍪 experience! I’ll just have to watch my calories for the next few days 😌 ⠀

The first time I had it was more than a year ago and I feel that it was overrated (good but not amazing). So, I decided to have it again and it still fell short of my expectation. I like that it was mildly spicy and that the prawns were fresh, but it lacked the wok hei flavour and didn’t taste as intense as how I would like it 😐
