Turkey Bacon - The healthier choice @ Carrefour

Smoked Turkey Bacon Strips @ around $6 from carrefour

For those looking for high protein food, here's a good one. Just put it in your microwave and heat it up until its crisp and serve it as it is, or with sandwich. If you are less health conscious, you can pan fry it...

As compared to bacon made from pork, turkey bacon is a much healthier choice. here's why.

Ochacha... here i come... @ Raffles City

Just about a month ago, Breadpig organised a foodie outing to Ochacha and i wanted to go too! But i was in Taiwan. When i came back and saw all the pictures that they have posted up... Day and night ive been thinking of it... loL... I must try the green tea and the sandwiches!

and so here i am at Ochacha!

Mushroom Soup - Lots of mushrooms bits and chunks and hence its name. lol. Seriously, the amount of mushroom is pretty generous, but sadly, its a tat too salty... its way too salty actually. It will be great if the soup can bring out the natural taste of the mushroom itself without the overpowering salty taste. But it is still not too bad comparable to other soups.

Azuki Freezie ($6.50) - Ice Blended Green Tea with Azuki Red Beans
The aroma of the green tea is still pretty strong despite the sweetness of the red beans. Blending green tea and red beans is indeed ingenious... I love these!

Furikake Salmon Sandwich ($5.90) - Furikake is the small little bits of things that is sprinkled over the salmon. The salmon is quite alot for the size of the sandwich, salmon lovers will definitelylove this... and yes i do! But the wierd thing is how come I am given wholemeal bread that looks like it is from Gardenia... and why Breadpig was given another type of bread? hmm hmm... but i am fine with it cos i love wholemeal anyway.

The sandwich set comes with the garden salad, which has lettuce, cherry tomatoes, japanese cucumber, corn and some wasabi coated peas... there is also a few piece of chips by the side. thanks goodness its only a little.

Wasabi Tuna Sandwich - This sandwich is more evenly toasted, which i prefer... It is stuffed pretty generously with wasabi tuna, and you can tell the staff the intensity of the wasabi during your order, either strong or normal. Every bite has a strong hint of wasabi...cheerios to wasabi fans.

Overall, I like O cha cha... and it will definitely be my tea time hangout area should I be around the vicinity...

Taipei - Home Sweet Home - But I miss Taipei more

CJ 7 is back in Singapore - hot and humid

so are the Taiwan snacks!

Brought a little flavour of taiwan back with me... The super nice black sesame pastry

and this is for my Singapore breakfast... the black sesame still taste as nice as it was in Taipei

Tai Yang Bing - Sun Biscuit

That's how it looks inside! I dun really like Sun Biscuit... dunno what is the hype over it... the black sesame is wayyy better!

And some other snacks we brought back... The Mochi with filling and chocolate coating is pretty good. Filling comes in green tea, coffee, peanut and strawberry flavours!

i really miss Taipei...

Taipei - Day 4 - Last Day - Breakfast before flying off

Breakfast 1 -
Soya Bean Milk & Egg Pancake wrapped with pork floss and eggs!
Tried before the one in Geylang Yong He? This is soooo much better!

The inside of the egg pancake! If you ever go Taipei, please make the effort to wake up earlier to savor the breakfast along the streets! they are so nice can?!

Breakfast 2 -
Peanut Butter Toast & Soya Bean milk again & Egg Pancake with Ham and Cheese
I miss peanut butter so much in Taiwan and for 5 days i never eat PB until today! haha... so glad! We had out 2nd serving of Soya Bean milk again, even the soya bean milk over there is nicer... However the egg pancake for this shop is lousier, a bit soggy soggy one... like kway chap/ lasagna

Breakfast 3 -
Wholemeal sandwich, with Half-boiled egg filling, pork floss, cheese and veg

Breakfast 4 -
Shao Bing with egg and pork floss, and rolled rice with pork floss and egg as filling. The rolled rice is very unique, pretty similar to Sushi, but very different in taste... and do not despise its size, cos its damn filling!

Breakfast 5 -
Blackpepper meat patty burger (Left), the patty is so juicy and tasty with the sauce and the cheese. Egg and cheese Toast (Right)

Inside of the Egg and Cheese Toast, the cheese is gooey hot, covering a sunny side up within the toast.

Breakfast 6 -

Mister Donuts! I have tried donut factory and Dunkin, and this mister donut which is a franchise from Japan win these 2 for sure! Texture wise, its very chewy... i hate the donut factory kind which is so soft like bread like that. And the varieties for mister donuts are all very cool, with very special flavour like Azuki red bean, and matcha. This two of which are my favourites.

You see those 2 donuts in some wierd shape? It is called Pon De Ring. The donut has restrictions along its circumference and each pod holds the filling... so the correct way of eating i guess should be eating pod by pod until you finish the whole donut! In Singapore, I seldom eat donuts... its a good thing this brand is not in SG, else i will be eating everyday! Seriously, this is good stuff.

Breakfast 7 -
ended with a cool and refreshing Matcha Milk Tea!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO TRY THE BREAKFAST IN TAIPEI
ALL OF ABOVE ARE BOUGHT AND ATE IN XI MEN DING!
