Nasi Kandar Yong Suan

My relative recommended this nasi kandar to us. It is quite easy to locate, you just have to find Ipoh Police Station and you are almost there. I saw a long queue at the counter and we joined the queue. After that some good people told us that if we dine in, there is no need for the queue. The queue is for those take away. We then asked him what is the best for this Nasi Kandar, they told us the fried chicken and the beef rendang.

We got both, one portion of beef and 2 pieces of chicken which costed us RM11. My brother said the price is reasonable or consider cheap as you hardly can get this price in KL. Beef curry tasted better than the fried chicken as we felt the chicken is too dry and hard. The gave each plate a whole lady finger, there isn't much vegetables option, so that lady finger is the only vege in plate. Overall, I like the curry and gravy. The one who recommended us here told us, even with only curry and rice, it tasted good. I understand why he has such comment now.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Coffee time again while walking along Toa Payoh, we were looking for a place to sit down and chit chat. Then we remember there is coffee bean and recently they had the green tea latte.  So I would like to try out.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is an American coffee chain, owned and operated by International Coffee & Tea, LLC, which has its corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, California. It now has quite a number of outlet in Singapore and Malaysia.

Ice Green Tea Latte Regular($7.70), Matha Latte Regular($6.30) - tasted average but not the one I would like. I think I prefer its normal coffees.

Praline Cheesecake($6) - the reason why I got this because I never try before, the name looks interesting to me. The cheesecake tasted good but too sweet for me. This cheesecake has pretty wafer crust, creamy caramel center and some like cereal biscuit topping.

Old Town White Coffee

Old Town White Coffee originated from Malaysia and it has more than 200 stores in Malaysia and probably have 10 in Singapore. They are working to get it Halal certified in Malaysia and Singapore. Singapore just had it halal certified in Jun 2013. It is a good news for the Malay friends, they can now try the great coffee and good food there.

You straightaway know what you must try when you are here. The white coffee for sure! For those who do not that coffee, there are other drinks available for you to choose from. The nasi rendang here is famous too but we did not want to have such heavy meal in the morning so decided to go for the lighter version. We ordered the breakfast set which comes with a drink.

Kaya Toast + Boiled Eggs Set($5.50++) - the usual breakfast set that I will be ordering. The toast were good and so as the coffee.

Meehoon Siam Bungkus($4.90++) - tasted not bad but the beehoon portion is quite small

Wanton Noodles Soup Set($8.50++) - my friends said tasted ok, consider pass.

Char Siew Noodles Set($8.50++) - pass for the noodles and failed for the char siew. The reason why the char siew failed because it tasted too porky which I don't like it. My friend who is not that particular as me feel the char siew is quite good, better than some other place.

Carosuel

It was a promotion treat from some colleagues who performed well and why Carosuel? Reason being it is Halal certified buffet and I had heard about the good review. I love buffet simply because of the variety that I can taste, I hate buffet also because of most of the time, I will have pregnancy tummy after it.

I have never try all the dishes in any buffet unless there are only few choices. Carousel is an award-winning buffet restaurant at Royal Plaza on Scotts Singapore Hotel. From Mediterranean, Asian, Japanese fare, a lavish seafood spread, an impressive French Rotisserie, and three dazzling dessert stations, the wide array of delectable cuisines will definitely make you busy over the meal.

Grilled chicken and beef corner with various dressing. I only managed to try the beef, it tasted good.

Cooked dishes - I skipped this as there is no more room for me

Chilled Seafood Corner - You can see what I get, it is fresh! So YUMMY!!

Mushroom Soup - One of the best I tried!

Dessert Corner - This is a must must try for me. Overall the dessert consider quite good. I dun really taste the cakes a lot but I remember I had 2 portion of creme brulee.

Below is the buffet pricing taken from their website, updated as at 23 May 2013.
