Still remember the Coffee Bun which used to be a fad 1-2 years ago?

With the addition of Roti Papa, Roti Mama and the rest of the Roti family..
It's no wonder they closed down one by one..
Singaporeans are such copycats. Lol.

I finally found a Roti Mum stall at IMM. It tastes exactly the way I remembered it to be.

Delish!

Sunday, 29th April

Late lunch @ Ichiban Boshi with Cai

It was full-house when we arrived, but the waitress managed to squeeze 2 counter seats for us.

I was thinking, Great, there's greater accessibility to the sushi!

But to my disappointment.. The sushi did not look very appetizing

Instead of grabbing everything that came my way, I found myself looking blankly at the conveyor belt.

Idk why, it could be the ambience, or the bad service.

We grabbed a few sushis to try, only to realise that..

There was no cutlery on the table.

No chopsticks, plates, nothing!

The service staff were just doing their own things & did not bother to serve us at all.

Tsk tsk.

Hokkaido Maru, their premium sushi.

So it costs more, like $5.50

I like the tiny little details they add to their sushi.

There's flying-fish roe, corn mayo, crabmeat & cheese in this nigiri.

The cheese was the cheapo kind i.e. Chesdale, quite a turn-off for me.

Doesn't it look tempting?

I just love anything with tamago in it.

However, putting aside the lovely presentation, there's nothing spectacular about this dish (tastewise).

Conger eel tamago
This dish was on it's special menu and it looked so good so we decided to order it.

The conger eel was rather bland, it tasted like normal fish to me.

The tamago was rather bland and a little too soggy for my taste.

Some fried salmon maki wrapped in egg crepe.

It was a flop, really.

As you can see, the crepe wasn't wrapped properly, and it fell off when I picked it up with my chopsticks.

The fried salmon was over-fried. Not to mention also coarse and tasteless.

Sizzling hot wagyu steak

Everything about this dish was so wrong.

Starting from the sauce, it was a sweet & spicy.

Didn't go well with the beef, it masked the natural aroma of the meat.

The beef, was that even wagyu to begin with?

It tasted worse than the average beef you get in hawkers.

I'm not kidding.

What we had was a plate of boring & tasteless meat.

I seriously don't think this was worth $16.90.

Settled the bill as soon as we were done eating and decided to have ice-cream at Marvelous Cream.

It's such a pretty shop!

The many many toppings you can add to your ice-cream.

Can you spot the macarons? They're my absolute favourite!

We ordered 2 concoctions to share.

The chef making our ice-creams..

Ta-da!

The first one: Mango Tiramisu

What was in it: European cream cheese ice-cream, white choco flakes, sponge cake, whipped cream and mango cubes.

A little too sweet for my liking, but I liked the chewy mango cubes~

Rocky road.

Consists of Choco ice-cream, almonds, brownies and marshmellows.

The choco ice-cream was normal and the marshmellows was too hard. Boo!

But the overall taste was still acceptable, I preferred this to the mango one.

In fact I ate most of this :D

Verdict: Worth a try, if you don't mind spending $5.90 for a cup of this.

Headed to Bugis next, went to alter my jeans.

We were super unlucky, once we stepped out of the mrt it started to rain.. Heavily..

So we went to buy an umbrella but still ended up wet anyway.

Rain is such a mood-dampener. BOO!

Went to Sim Lim Square to look for an mp3, but couldn't find the one that I wanted.

So we went to Ji De Chi, again! :D

Steamed milk with almond paste.

I love the fragrant taste of almond~

Mango sago w/ pomelo.

Tried some of this, it's so-so only.

Liked the crunchy sago bits.

Cai had craving for hawker food, so we cabbed to Bukit Timah Market

A must-have at Timah market.. Chai Tow Kway!

The one from Seng Kee stall is the best.
Delicious and really addictive. I couldn't stop eating it! =P

Oyster omelette.

Tried to like this, but I didn't.

I don't like any thing that consists of shellfish. (scallops are an exception)

Satay!! My #1 favourite hawker food.
It was pretty good, they were very generous with the chicken pieces.

The sauce was very addictive, I finished it to the last drop. Hehe.

Gonna try the pasta at Timah market next time.

They're real cheap, like $3.90? OMG!

I can eat 3 times of that at Pastamania/Waraku/Shokudo!

I love hawker food!

The best thing of all?

You get to eat your fill of good food without having to break your bank.

Watched two dog flicks recently.
If you thought 'Hotel for Dogs' was touching..
Well, 'Marley & Me' is definitely heartbreaking.
Sigh. Dogs are such love-hate creatures.

Michelle's rating: 3.5 dog poop out of 5 dog poop

4 dog poop out of 5 dog poop

Don't miss 'Marley & Me'!

Went to watch Race to Witch Mountain @ Cineleisure with..

Quite an interesting movie.. 3.5/5 stars

Rubbish!

Shokudo for dinner

Ultra-thin pizza in curry mash potato flavour

Yum!

Tofu cheesecake.

So soft & cheesy.

I loved it =D

It's photo-taking time!

Home sweet home after that =)

Nan Hwa Chong - Revisited.

Today Cai & I decided to go to Nan Hwa Chong as he had craving for Yu Tou Lu again.

During our previous visit we saw the table beside us ordering this dish, so we decided to try it as it looks good. And it did not disappoint us!

It's none other than the Marmite Chicken.

It's very crispy, and not very oily. Goes very well with the sweet sauce.

We fell in love with it instantly =)

In the menu, it's called Golden Tofu. Cai decided to order this to try as it sounds interesting.

To our surprise, it isn't tofu at all!

The specks of white flakes you see on it are probably the flour that was not battered properly. Or was it sprinkled for decoration? =/

It actually tastes like carrot cake with vegetables in it. After much thought, I gather that the filling in it is fish paste. Just a guess, though.
A unique dish, but we got sick of it at the 2nd helping. It has a really strong parsely smell, which we hate.

The yu tou lu was exactly the same as how it tasted the other time.

But this time, they gave us a lot of the yucky dark green vegetables and very little of cabbage, which we both love. BOO! :(

This time I remembered to take a picture of the fish. We stuck with our previous choice, the 白苍鱼.

Super soft and totally enjoyable to eat =D

However full we were, we still made room for dessert.

I brought him to Ji De Chi again. My new love, heehee.

His: Durian puree sago with pomelo

After mixing.

Not quite like how I imagined it would be.

The durian puree had a nasty aftertaste. Must be because of all that processed stuff.

They could have used real durian flesh instead.

Durian sticky rice roll

Another disappointment. The durian puree was the same as the above. And the rice roll had such a strong coconut taste to it, the whole combination is just wrong.

Mine: Double boiled steamed milk, or 双皮顿奶

I regretted eating the durian dishes first, cos my tastebuds could not taste anything afterwards.
It's very sad you know? I ate this bowl of steamed milk pudding without knowing how it tastes like.

But I do know that it is very soft, it tastes like soya bean curd.
HAIZ. Next time try again ba.

Shopped around in Bugis Junction & decided to stop by tcc for a drink.


Cabbed home after that.

I should stop here, have been blogging for 3 hours already.
Finally I'm back to blogging!
The feel is back again~ :D
