[Food Review] Seng Coffee Bar - Hidden Food Gem in the East

Image
Seng Coffee Bar , a good choice for all-day breakfast in Singapore, is located within Bedok district, and it is just a short walking distance from Kembangan MRT Station .  Before this café is open to the public, we were invited for a pre-launched food tasting.  If you love tea, then I strongly recommended their Lychee Kris Grey (SGD9) which is served by the pot.  Contents - black tea, green tea, blue cornflower, blue pea flower, bergamot, lychee flavoring and silver dust. Mentaiko Fries (SGD12)  The Fried Nan Lu Chicken (SGD12) smelled so good, and I love the accompanying house-made chilli which had a strong garlicky taste. The hot sauce paired well with the chicken. The meat on the other hand is well marinated with their Nan Lu ( 南乳  or fermented beancurd sauce). Ginger Sake Clam (SGD13)  Japanese Purple Sweet Potato Chips with Chef Chua’s Curry Mayo (SGD10)  Roasted Curry Cauliflower (SGD12)  I had Prawn Aglio Olio (SGD22) and it was pretty...

[foodies' corner] All about food!

Recently, I went to Osaka Ohsho during my lunch break with my lunch-mates, and the restaurant is located at Raffles City Shopping Centre ! I had my favorite Scallop Okowa Rice with Gyoza Set . In my personal opinion, Osaka Ohsho serves the best Gyoza in town, as each piece tasted divine.   Popular award-winning chicken rice from Bangkok, Go-Ang Pratunam has finally opened up in Singapore! The brand has been established for over 50 years in Thailand.   This Michelin Bib Gourmand awardee Go-Ang Pratunam Chicken Rice is indeed like our Singaporean version of Hainanese chicken rice, and the only difference I found was the chilli dip. Instead of the familiar blend of orange chilli sauce and ginger sauce, theirs is a mixture of blended dark soya sauce, vinegar, cut ginger and green chillies.      Baby enjoyed the Red Curry Chap Chye . The curry gravy went pretty well with our chicken rice too.    I enjoyed the Chai Poh ...

2D1N KL Weekend Staycation + SG Food Gem

A short weekend getaway to KL, Malaysia is something I always look forward to, as it is a chance to recharge myself after a week of stressful work. We left home around 5.30am and drove up to KL, whereby we arrived around 10am-ish! Our usual routine upon arriving was to plonk our car at the workshop for servicing, while heading for shopping, makan-ing and lepak-ing!     Daddy Mike brought us for breakfast, and we drove up to Shah Alam for some Penang street food fare. We settled at Restoran Gurney Delight.     The Penang Prawn Mee tasted pretty decent, and it was served in an aromatic Prawn stock soup, which was topped with prawn slices, fish cakes, hard boiled egg slices and vegetables. The accompanying home-made chilli paste was a bonus!    Restoran Gurney Delight is the right place for you if you wish to taste some traditional styles of Penang street food, as most of the ingredients are originally from Penang.  ...

My weekend getaway to PJ, Selangor, Malaysia

We drove up to KL again for a short holiday during the election period, and upon reaching Subang Jaya , we were shocked by the severity of the haze in KL, Terrible! We put our belongings in our KL house and rested a while before joining Vi-Vien, Shelley and the rest for dinner. Vi-Vien brought us to a food gem which was located at Hulu Langat, Selangor . It was pretty much an adventure for us as the road was bumpy, winding and not to say the least, narrow as well! The whole journey took us an hour, and when we reached there, the sky started to turn dark. Despite having no reservations made in advance, we still managed to get a table, and we were situated on the wooden plank above the large pond, which was full and brimming with fish. I love the Tom Yam Soup as it tasted flavorfuL. We ordered BBQ Cockles and I was surprised by the size of the cockles, as they looked way bigger as compared to those I saw in Singapore. We had Pandan Chicken...
