Chock Full Of Beans

My last visit to this area was 2 years ago when I visited Pulau Ubin. As I am staying far from the east so I usually won't travel here for food. My friend told me there is this cafe which she feel not bad and I think may be this is a chance for me to revisit the place.

I was there at 3pm and to my surprise the cafe is crowded. I left my contact and waited for 20-30mins to get my seat. The weather was hot and great that I got an indoor seating. We did not have the brunch menu as we had our lunch so we just got some deserts to go with our coffees.

One thing to mention was the service is not really good. Some might think we did not pay for the service charges so we shouldn't request much.  The staff misunderstood my friend's request and when we told him, no apologise and we all feel he showed like he is not willing to work.  Asked him for more sauce, he just placed it down unwillingly and when he want to take it away, he just grabbed it without checking if I was still using it. No smile at all compare with some other staffs.

We both ordered the coffee; mine with large Green Tea Latte ($6.5) and my friend had Rose Latte ($5.9). My latte was alright, you can taste the green tea powder so it was kind of not smooth and I found that if you let it set for a while, it will tatsed better but kind of too sweet for me. Rose latte tasted special with nice aroma. 

I had French Toast($9) and my friend had the Buttermilk Waffles($9). I was disappointed with the food especially for my toast.  It was not what I expected,  very dry and the toast is thick. I requested for more chocolate sauce to go with it. The caramelised banana topping was alright. The waffle was dry too, taste average; not crispy enough. To go better with that we requested for more syrup too.

Killiney Kopitiam (Changi Airport T2)

I always prefer to have traditional toast and eggs set for breakfast. So I got myself Set A which comes with 2 slices of thicker toast with kaya and butter, 2 half boiled eggs and a choice of coffee or tea. Depends on the situation,  I will decide the drink.  That morning I wanted to keep myself awake so I had coffee. How about the taste? It is good and standard as other kopitiam, so given a choice I will still come back for its breakfast.

The Ramen Champion

I got back from holiday and reached airport around 5 something and thought of settling the dinner at the airport. While thinking what to eat, my friend said she had to go to Terminal 3 (T3) for the bus. She then suggested ramen, just at the same time I am thinking that too and I found out we both love the ajitama (flavoured egg). I know Ramen Champion for quite sometime, and actually only plan to taste it the coming weekend when I need to travel to KL. Now I can taste it earlier.

Ramen Champion in T3 has 4 ramen stall - Ikkousha, Keishoken and another 2 I forget what is the stall(Will update when I go back the coming week). It is designed to replicate the ramen museum in Yokohama, Japan.

I walked around and was quite indecisive because all looks good. I then decided to go with my friend recommendation of Ikkousha Ramen. Ikkousha is one of the most celebrated ramen restaurants of Fukuoka in Hakata. It won the Ultimate Ramen Champion (URC) of 2011 with its Hakata-style thin, springy noodles, smooth pure-pork broth and ajitama. I love hakata style ramen because of the texture. The Hakata ramen of Ikkousha is a bit different from the normal Hakata ramen that I tried, its has more skinny texture and non-round feel. However, it still tasted nice to me. The broth is not very salty, it suite me and it come with 3 slices of char siew(bigger than some ramen's char siew). The char siew tasted good, just nice for me. Ajitama are well done too, love it also. With some vegetables like green onion and black fungus, I am very satisfy with the choice of ramen. Yummy!

Crystal Jade My Bread

Famous brand by Crystal Jade Group where they have the Crystal Jade Kitchen, Crystal Jade Ramen Xiao Long Bao etc. Crystal Jade My Bread is one of their business and it serves HK style bread, like famous Po Lo Bao(波箩包）, Portugal egg tarts, Char Siew Bao(BBQ Pork Bun) etc.

I tried their Portugal egg tarts and the Hong Kong BBQ Pork pastry. I wanted to try their BBQ Pork Bun but they don't sale by one piece. So I try the BBQ Pork pastry, they should have the same filling but different crust.

The Portugal egg tarts consider one of the good one I tried in Singapore as not many can make good Portugal egg tarts. The Hong Kong BBQ Pork pastry quite nice but a bit sweet.

Johor Bahru Handmade Pau/Dim Sum

I was here when I happened to go to Pulau Ubin and I found this shop. I heard from a badminton mate said this bun is so famous and it is very nice that he drive all the way to Changi for this pau every weekend.

I was introduced Amy Yi's Jumbo Pau($3), inside has egg, pork, chicken, mushroom and Chinese sausage. You will be full when you eat only half of it, unless you are big eater, else you normally can't finish it alone. The skin of the bun is sweet, you can eat that alone. The fillings inside are really great, I would definitely recommend this to everyone. It is worth the money you paid.

My sister got the Sure-Win Bao($4). It has almost the same ingredients as Amy Yi's Jumbo Pau except inside have extra Nyonya dumpling. My sister commended it quite nice but also will be too filling if you eat it alone. It need to be shared between 2 person.

It is too far from where I stay, else I dun mind to spent 30mins there to get this pau.

Look at the size of the giant bun vs big bun

Today we had lunch at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant @ Safra club. The food is really nice, so do the price. My boss ordered the salad lobster, the lobster from Australia, so it is more expensive than the local lobster. However, I wonder Singapore has lobster?? The other dishes are steamed HK style fish, dognut fish paste, baby squid, fried mee & one vegetable. We ordered dessert as well.

Gallelio @ Apls Avenue

The only restaurant @ Apls Avenue, my working place. Sometimes we do go up to level 1 for lunch. It serves Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisines. The price is consider quite cheap if compare to normal food court food, as you can get $4 for Japanese food here.
Taste wise, not too bad but of course cannot compare with those restaurant.


Fried Udon($5.00) - Normal taste but too oily.
