I was quite surprised when I saw the advertisement at KFC that they are selling egg tarts, Portuguese egg tarts to be exact. I tweeted and got to find out from my friends that KFC has claimed that they’ve got the original recipe for the egg tarts and it tasted really good.
Since I can’t resist the temptation and my dad was on his way to Eastpoint where this is KFC, I told him to get me one so that I could try it. The verdict, its taste is acceptable considering that they are selling fried chickens and not pastries like egg tarts. Personally, I thought that the crust was alittle to thick (maybe that’s their way of having less egg).
You can give it a try if you want to cause I thought its worth trying. On a comical side, I just thought of this sentence, “They can’t even let the chicks off by selling egg tarts!” So now, KFC is a full fledge chicken selling fast food restaurant.
After watching the news about the opening of Wendy’s Singapore, finally had a chance to try it with wifey today after our haircut at The Sail. Its a typical Saturday evening and while walking towards Wendy’s, the entire Lau Pa Sat is generally quiet with little crowd. In case you are wondering where Wendy’s is, its located at Lau Pa Sat, on Shenton Way side nearer to SGX Building.
If you are someone who doesn’t eat beef (like me), you are actually left with quite few choices, fish burger, shrimp burger, fried chicken and baked potato and nuggets. Here’s the reason why I say few choices,
1. The fish burger that I had isn’t that fantastic cause they have little sauce in it, its like eating the fish fillet with bread only with almost nothing in it.
2. The nuggets were salty and luckily we only ordered 4. For your information, nuggets comes in either 4 pieces or 6 pieces
3. I had cheese and cheese baked potato and I would say this is one of the better off food that I got
4. Wifey had salad with grilled chicken and according to her, its normal
The queue was long and the service was rather slow. They actually only had 2 counters to serve. I will say they might have put in some effort in terms of marketing and making their presence known, but their food isn’t what I was expecting.
My overall rating is just 2.5/5.
The stall was recommended by my colleague and its definitely worth recommending. They sell rice dumplings, Chee Cheong Fun, Yam Cake and porridge (Pork and Century Egg). I did not take down the unit number of the stall (I’ve forgotten about it) but have taken the picture of the signboard of the stall. The porridge is really nice, not overcook and the taste is just right, not too salty, not to bland. For the Chee Cheong Fun and Yam cake, you can have the option of having the sauce or without it. If you are considering having a light lunch, this is something you can consider. I ordered the Century Egg porridge, added an egg and its yummy.
I’ll rate this 4/5.
The stall is located at Blk 335 Smith Street Level 2.
Don’t be mistaken by the name of the stall, its not located at Kallang but rather at Old Airport Road Market. My cravings brought me to this stall once again yesterday, since my dad suggested to have our lunch at Old Airport Road Market. The noodles are chewy and the sauce is just right. As compared to the other 2 famous stalls, I will say that this is the best, though I thought that the servings could be alittle more when I ordered the large one.
I will rate this 4.5/5.
Location: Blk 51, Old Airport Rd, #01-61
My week ended with another farewell lunch from a department head, Mr U. The best thing about him is that he is not my boss at all, yet, he gave me a farewell lunch, just to thank me for helping his department. He is so nice that he asked me to choose a restaurant and choose the food that I want to order (its really hard to find such a nice guy these days). So we decided to head to Thai Accent at Vivocity.
Service
Excellent service and great view (I mean in the future lah, what you see now is the construction of the almost completed Resorts World @ Sentosa). When you enter, they staff will greet you in Thai, which I thought was something which you can’t find in other Thai restaurant like Thai Express. They were friendly and shared with us their chef’s recommendation which help us alot when we were ordering our food.
Food
I’m not really a Thai Food lover but the food just blows me away. The Tom Yam soup was fantastic, they had mushrooms and really big prawns in it. It was spicy but not so spicy that I couldn’t take it. We had sea bass, softshell crab, kangkong and chicken with cashew nuts. Simply, there were no complains about the food. We practically finish up all the food that we had.
I had Thai Ice Tea which was yummy.
Conclusion
This place is a must go and I rate 4.5 out of 5 for it. Pls don’t ask me what was the damage as I did not pay for it and had no chance to take alook at the bill at all.
Location
Its located at Vivocity, #02-145/146.

This morning, decided to head down to Tiong Bahru market for brunch with family. Surprisingly, the carpark was not full and the place itself was not crowded, maybe the morning crowd was gone. After walking around the market, I decided to try the Tiong Bahru Lor Mee. This stall usually will have a super long queue and for today, there is still a queue, but its rather short, so I decided to give it a try.
Service
There is one aunty cooking, one aunty preparing the ingredients while one lady collecting money. The one cooking was super fierce, not friendly at all.
Food
The Lor Mee is so so. The soup itself is not really that tasty and since I ordered a large one, naturally, you will expect that there is more ingredients that usual. But its not, there are only 2 pieces of 肥猪肉, a few pieces of fish cake, 1 fried wanton, 3 pieces of fried fish and a quarter boiled egg. This is definitely what I expected especially the fried wanton. What was even worst was that the fried wanton tasted just like as if I was eating the wanton skin and nothing else.
Conclusion
While queuing a the stall, I realised that they had quite a number of good reviews by local food guru, but I guess, they might have either overrated it or the standard has dropped tremendously.
2.5 out of 5 if you asked me to rate it. I don’t think I’ll ever try it again. |
We’ve also pass by this bistro but seldom had the chance to try the food. Since it was a Saturday that I’ve dedicated to my family, I’ve decided to try out this place with them.
It’s been about a month since I’ve dine out with Ethan and Ezanne has not left the house for more than 2 weeks (simply no family outing over the past 2 weeks plus). We’ve ordered pasta and there was free flow of bread. The bread was excellent and you have the option to toast it yourself. The soup of the day was cream of potato which was equally good too.
For Ethan, we’ve ordered a kids meal for him which was Penne with creamed mushroom and it comes with a toy, a jelly and orange juice. Though Ethan didn’t finish the Penne, but you can see that he enjoyed himself alot. When the servings came, he behaved like an adult, taking the fork and spoon and started to eat and he finish drinking the orange juice that was served to him.
For us, we thought the servings was just right. I had caborana and Jingyi had seafood pasta. I’ll say that this is the best I’ve eaten so far cause I manage to finish it cause I remembered eating caborana at elsewhere without finishing it previously cause it was too creamy.
Generally it was good, but I thought the serving was alittle to slow. I just hope they can improve their service.

This favourite stall of mine at Maxwell Food Market serves excellent Tapioca Cake and Muah Chee. All their food are freshly made and when you go, defintely you’ve gotta queue. The only minus point about this stall is that they do not open on Sundays.
The Muah Chee has 2 flavours, coconut and peanut. The skin of the muah chee is soft and powdery (I like) and the stall owners are not stingy with the coconut and peanut that they put.
The address is Stall 31, Maxwell Food Market
Last Friday, Jingyi and I had breakfast at Tiong Bahru market. It has been a few months since we last visited. As usual, she will eat her favourite Ipoh Shredded Mee and I will buy the porridge. For these 2 items, I’m sorry, we were too hungry that I didn’t have any chance to take pictures. But before we left, we were discussing what we should drink, then just behind us, there was a long queue and we thought, shall we try the soya bean milk? Just look at the queue.
I did not regret being part of the queue cause the soya bean milk was really good. It’s homemade and the best thing is, its not too thick, not too thin and not too sweet. It was really fantastic.
The stall is located at Tiong Bahru Market, unit number is #02-69.
One of my colleague brought us to this turkish resturant to try some authentic turkish food. This place is called Sofra Turkish Cafe and Restaurant located at Shaw Towers. This is the first time that I’ve been to the carpark of Shaw Towers and really, it is an ancient carpark. You got to press for a ticket and pay just before you leave the carpark, but of course, according to my colleague, the carpark are cheap.
Back to the food. For the starters, my colleague recommended Red Lentil Soup, it is a turkish soup with red lentil and herbs. It comes with a bread and it was fantastic. We ordered another started called Hummus which has this mildly spiced cream mixture of chicken peas and tahini with lemon juice. We ate it together with Sesame Bread (as recommended by waitress).
For the main course, I had Shish Kebap, which is grilled cube meat served with Turkish cracked meat. You can have a choice of 2 types of meat (beef, lamb or chicken). My colleague had Beyti Kebap (turkish popiah), it was good too, and the presentation was good (exactly the same as the menu). My other colleague (the one who treated us) had Chef Plate which is a combination of Doner Kebap, Izagara Kofte (don’t ask me what’s that, cause I also don’t know) and a skewer of Shish Kebap.
Overall, the food is good. I rate 4/5.
