The SoupSpoon

My latest craving... Soup! from the soupspoon... there are still so many soup from soupspoon which i would like to try!

Beef Goulash

Beef! I love beef bcos beef is meat and i love meat bcos meat is protein!! But i expected more beef in the soup, but what was inside was probably6 pieces of beef chunks only... but I guess its a matter of *heng suay* (lucky or unlucky), cuz if the guy happen to scoop more beef then gd for u la... or maybe they do count the number of beef they scoop? do they? hmmm... But whatever it is, its a great soup i must say... alot of chunky stuffs inside... tomatoes, potatoes, beef, capsicum, carrots and many many veggies too small for me to identify!

Herb Chicken Caesar

Add a few more dollars to the soup and you get either full or half sandwich! Tried roast beef wasabi last week, but I still prefer the herb chicken caesar cuz the meat is bigger chunk la... the beef was only a pathetic thin thin slice...

Any recommendations? Beef Stroganoff with Penne? Peppery Chicken Hotpot? Tokyo Chicken Stew? Tangy Tomato with Basil?

City Square JB

This is not exactly in City Square, but its in its vicinity. This Kopi Tiam that is very near to City Square is famous for its Chee Cheong Fun Yong Tau Fu. Very few sg'reans eat in this place bcos it stinks, it stinks of something and it just dun look too pleasant... but just tahan abit... for the sake of good food! THE FAMOUS IPOH ZHU CHANG FEN among the locals!
The Chee Cheong Fun is unique, as it is served with yong tau hu liaos(4). After you choose your liaos(4) already, the towkay will chopped them up, cooked them, and serve them with the Cheong Fun, and served with 2 sauces, curry gravy or sweet sauce... I chose mixed... It might look abit messy, but its really nice, nice not cos its unique, but nice "nice".
4.6 / 5.0

Now inside city square...
went to this cafe called Wong Kok HK cafe... (just realized that SG also have one in Bugis Junction today, therefore this review will be applicable in SG too!)

It was so cold there... heng first came was a hot cup of Almond Tea with Egg White! Strong taste of almond infused with a tinge of tea, mixed with egg whites... wonderful !
4.5 Almonds /5.0 Almonds

2nd was ham and cheese sandwich... nothing spectaular... just like the normal breakfast I have every morning...
2.5 Ham / 5.0 Ham

3rd came Sausage Pita drizzle with mayonaise and teriyaki sauce! omg... sinful... so i scrapped of those thick layers of mayo and teri sauce... eat the sausage and abit of the Pita... so so..
2.5 Pita / 5.0 Pita

4th dish is the main dish! Seafood Baked Spagetti in twin sauce! The twin sauce refers to Cheese and Tomato sauce... i tink. The thick crusty cheese... so generous of them! thanks! something unique is that they actually add abit of curry powder... first time in my life i ate cheese baked with currry powder, and surprisingly, it goes so well with the cheese and tomato! wonder if the SG outlet also have or is it just M'sia. The fish and Crabstix and was generous man, SG one....? no idea...

4.2 Cheese/ 5.0 Cheese


Dessert! Last one... Peach Bread Pudding. Usuallu bread pudding, taste like bread, or at least have the texture of bread, and i was expecting some bread-like thingy. But, when i have the first bite, It taste more like Egg Pudding than anything else...even thou so... i still like it! haha. The texture is kinda thick, with a strong peachy taste, and sprinkled with raisins. I really like this "bread" pudding, alot of eggy taste, and as u noe.. i love eggs!

4.3 Pudding / 5.0 Pudding

Blueberry Muffins!



Yummy! with melted marshmallows and cranberries on it! and i gave one to my hairstylist to "bribe" him! lol

Mr Bean 1 for 1

Care & Share

Old Airport Rd Hawker Centre

Went to Kallang Leisure Park to ice skate! 2 hours of ice skating burns: assuming i skate for a third of the time: 246Kcal was burned + its cold inside, so my body needs to burn more calories to maintain my body temperature for the next 2 hours, another 150Kal in excess was consumed. So in total: 400Kcal was burned! Therefore im so hungry after ice skating! No interesting food in Kallang Leisure Park as 80% of the stalls are still closed, unless i wanna go Cold Storage to eat raw food. So off we go to Old Airport Rd to Jiak Beng!

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wan Ton Mee

The Mee is really good... very Q and the sauces were just the right amount... best noodle i ever had... but the wantons and charsiew pull down the scores. The wanton was way too small and not yummy la... no quality but at least quantity ma... but quantity also dun have... Char siew is the thinly sliced type which i dun really like... i like the thick slices one with thick caramelised surface, like the one sold by the auntie at amoy street level 2. Dunno why the Q is so long lor... really long...
4.0 wantons/ 5.0 wantons

Freshly made Chee Cheong Fun

Best Chee Cheong Fun i ever had! Best of both worlds... u get the Quality and Quantity. Quality: the Cheong Fun is sooo smooth and watery, as it goes into your mouth, u can feel the watery layered texture... omm... Trust me... eat this if u r a chee cheong fun lover! you wont have any regrets.... but if u dun try... i feel sad for u... lol. Quantity: They are so generous with the amount of meat... I had the Chicken and the Char Siew, and both the meats were like free like... gave a alot la... the Picture might look abit turn off... but who cares man as long as it taste good... and the chicken is better than the Char Siew.
Tip of the day: I think it taste better without the chilli!

4.8 Cheong Fun / 5.0 Cheong Fun

Rainbow Cuttlefish KangKong

Its Stall name make it sound like an expert in this dish... so I decide to give it a try! I think the auntie saw me snapping picture of it stall, and i presume she tot im some sort of food critic or what, and so the Cuttlefish Kangkong made by her was done so painstakingly slow, but nicely staked on the plate and presented for me..lol.

Many people does not know what is this dish, basically, its just KangKong boiled in water, with boiled cuttlefish on it... then add some sour plum sauce and some dark sweet sauce, and some red chilli tingy, and sprinkled with crushed nuts...and tada! Cuttlefish Kangkong!
It was not really yummy, i had better ones at many places, so low score for it.

3.5 Cuttlefish /5.0 Cuttlefish

Had almond Soya Bean Curd, nothing worth raving about... the stall looks nice only... :)
