Pork chop with macaroni in satay soup

i only tasted a bit of this so cannot really say much. the soup was rather blend but i love macaroni to bits

i forgot the name of this dish. i think it was cold la mian? overall it was a pleasant experience. the curry fishball was a little weird though but apparently it is their signature dish. the salad had bits of pasta in it, i like the pork on top of the rice. really fragrant.

will definitely be back for more when i hang out at ecp:)

the pizza was filled with substantial generous amounts of toppings, taste wise, i would say slightly above average

this pasta dish was supposed to be filled with crab. but i remembered only coming across 2 flower crab pincers? however there were a variety of seafood in it, taste-wise i would say so-so

all in all, modesto isn't exactly worth patronizing. perhaps , the vivo branch will have better standards? will be worthwhile if there's half price or 1-for-1 , then again, other italian restaurants would have beaten modesto thumbs down

haha, i can't really recall which drink is which, but they were all fruit juices! yes, reminded me of the gimmick of 1-for-1. owell, but i love mango and guava the most. cranberry and pineapple was a tad too sour for me since i'm a trueblue sugar-aholic

cheeh kway anybody? : D

the dessert came upon as a surprise. i never thought caramel coconut pudding would taste that fab. firstly, coconut wouldn't even appeal to me. but this dish really really tasted like mango pudding except that it has a little more mush to it.

sorry for the last 2 blur pics!

Katsu curry chicken with rice

so as to speak, i'm a fan of japanese curry. this dish was fairly average, but still i love it! the katsu was crisp and not too hard. the portions were perfect too. the only down side was that they could have presented the dish in a more appetising way.

just looking at the picture of this beef sukiyaki makes me drool. i'm a sucker for sweet stuff and sukiyaki sauce fits the bill to whet my appetite. i waited for close to ten minutes for the Japanese staff at the sukiyaki counter to prepare this. It's actually my favourite out of the three mainly because a part of me thinks it's a tad healthier. haha

Overall, Shokudo is a nice place if you're looking for japanese fusion kind of food. but there isn't a lot of variety to choose from and some of the prices aren't really justifiable for the quality of the food they produce. dear kept saying that they're just using frozen food to cook, which makes it "non-authentic"? a plus point for the neo-print stations in the restaurant, uber cute(:(:

The bright red colour looks really intimidating but thank god its not as spicy as it looks. lots of tofu inside with prawn , squid and fish cake and crab stick. Nice dish to accompany with the rice we ordered. Only complain is that the prawns inside were tiny and not much of it.

Overall nice place to dine, left full! Service is very casual and friendly in a familyish kind of way. Allowed me to pay thru mastercard even though didn reach their minimum bill requirement too. will be back in the future !

Thin crusted pizza with a green curry base. Taste wise, this was kinda strange, not really in a bad way but just... strange. Could not really make out the green curry taste. Think i'll stick with something more conventional the next time. haha

Seafood Aglio Olio

Now heres what we came for! First impressions, uh- oh looks like prawn noodle! but to our surprise it was nothing like it at all. Pasta was cooked al dente and lightly tossed in olive oil. Plenty of fresh seafood too. We opted for the normal *spicy* level, which was already pretty fiery for us. Shiok!! Enjoyed this dish, maybe next time will be more adventurous and try the extra spicy option.

After buying camera , went to hunt for this restaurant which we heard about thru our fav food webbie hungrygowhere.com! This time we were out to savour some turkish fare. After walking round in circles finally found the place, Bussorah Street, just behind the big mosque! Atmosphere was nice , feels different. As for the view (shown below ), beautiful.

Chicken Tangine

Potato !!!! this dish was loaded with potatos! more than we can manage, and hidden beneath was a chicken thigh. The meat was soft and juicy, reminded us of herbal chicken. As for the broth, it had the strong taste of ---- u guessed it, potatos! haha Interesting dish , though i think we should have ordered the koofta tangine or beef tangine, which was without the potatos, and the broth was tomato based. Shall try that next time!

Baby had ice cream craving so we went fo the banana split. choc . vanilla . strawberry icecream sandwiched between a banana sliced in half. First bite of the waffle ... lao hong one ! couldn bite thru haha, ok bad start. rest was just walls ice cream i presume with bits of ice inside. But then again cant complain since its just $3. anyways it did satisfy our craving =D Thought of the idea of having a stall in hawker centres which sells ice cream. Could have creations like banana split , sundae , waffles, cones, cup , floats , at hawker prices. Quite a change from the usual ice ka chang and hot deserts , feasible ? dont know but if there was such a stall id probably choose it over ice ka chang hee.

anyway we left FULL . Mak's place is quite a nice place for late night munchies with better than kopitiam food at low prices , lives up to its name of being a hawkerant

Heard a lot of rave reviews about this, so was sure to give it a try. It was my favourite of the day, must-try! loved the sauce which is simmered for 28 days, sweet and light. beef was really tender, and didnt have that ' cowish' taste. heard its a blend of 80% beef 20 % pork. hee anyway yummy! Fries were fat and crisp , the way i like it , bet it satisfied my baby's french fry craving.

Brownie with ice cream

Much better than i expected! the brownie was the soft kind, with chockful of walnuts and choco fudge. Ice cream was smooth and creamy. I like how the cold ice cream went with warm choc brownie, d e li ghtful!

one last note the service was really great!

all in all , well satisfied! definitely back for more in the future , cheers!

Ended up with a Chinese food fare again! haha, i love Crystal Jade's ramen ♥ But this time, it was Asian Kitchen's ramen. We tried the "zha jiang mian" this time round. It was superb! I love the sauce, sweet yet tasty.




Next up was the "xiao long bao". Personally, i think these were better than Crystal Jade's. It was way juicier and fresher! The thought of it makes me drool again . . .


We also ordered a crispy tofu as a side dish. Another superb dish i would say. Sweet and the sauce cum peanuts tasted a little like rojak!


Dessert was the mango puree. The entire bowl was filled with mangoes, real mangoes not ice. The sago and the chilled mangoes were indeed refreshing.



Verdict : Asian Kitchen is a MUST GO! Definitely comparable to many many chinese restaurants:)

1x Barley, 1x Lime juice. just thought that the sour plum added into the lime juice was quite cute, lala.

Cheesecake Cafe

They have a new stupid rule which states that each customer has to have a minimum of one order, so we ended up ordering 1x Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake , 1x Chocolate Banana Cake. SINFUL!

Both tasted great. The cheesecake was light and smooth. Loved the chocolate banana too! chunks of banana at the crust matched perfectly with the layers of chocolate mousse/ cake. yummy. cam whored while we slowly ate, liked the ambience, nice fat cushioned seats and romantic lighting.Staff informed us of another of their stupid regulations- no taking pictures of the cafe. Anyway nice place to spend late nights, with good food in a cozy setting : ) hope they change their stupid rules though lala

After a seemingly endless torturing walk in search for a simple dinner,we stumbled upon this famous ba chor mee restaurant at changi road ! Ordered 1x ba chor mee , 1x pork chop mee , 1 x water dog soup , 1x waterchestnut tofu. Tofu was out of stock and shui jiao tang didn come, staff must have shui jiao qu le.
yum! this must be one of the best ba chor/pork chop noodles ive eaten, not oily like most ba chor me stalls out there. noodle was springy and ingredients were plenty! cheap too only 3 bux/bowl. sure to be back in the future to try the tofu and other stuffs : D

Stopped by to grab some dessert/drinks. I had a 1x mango/pomelo ice blend , dear had 1x glutinous rice + vanilla ice cream float. Mango/pomelo was refreshing with bits of fruits inside to chew on.

YOGURU
After ANOTHER super long walk , managed to find the elusive Kallang leisure park ! Went to try out Yoguru yogurts which we had previously seen on an internet review.

1x YoguBliss + Granola toppings

YoguBliss consisted of the original flavoured frozen yogurt blended with dragon fruit and pomegranade. It had a very smooth texture; sweet with a hint of sourness in the right proportions. yummy! one thing we noticed was that the yogurt doesnt melt like yami yogurt or any other ice cream, which is another plus point; enabled us to slowly enjoy our dessert while we rest our tired legs.

later on went around to look at other shops, came by to The Yogurt Place , tried samples of their mango yogurt and berry yogurt. Both of us agreed that it didn taste quite as good, pretty much what you can get at supermarket yogurt + fruits. preferred the frozen yogurt offered at yoguru.

At the top floor found the japanese restaurants offering 99c/ plate sushi and pretty cheap set meals , eg $3.99 terriyaki chicken don. Not too sure abt the quality of food but anyways will make plans to pay them a visit and make a verdict. Kallang Leisure Park we'll be back!

Hot Pot Tofu

Nice and light dish with simple ingredients. i like to mix the sauce with the rice haha yummy

Sambal Kang Kong

Thought sauce was a bit too salty for my liking, but then again cant really say because i dont eat much vegetables

Thai Style Fried Chicken

Sweet and spicy thai chilli sauce tasted yummy. Chicken was tender and crispy, a bit too much fat though ><>

Thai Red Ruby and Longan BeanCurd

Thought both was not bad, quite refreshing after our meal.

hehhe baby u continue the rest i love u !

Joo Chiat Road has many interesting small cafes and restaurants that usually only people living near that area will visit.

Vinest has been to Joo Chiat a couple of times and at this small little corner, we found this bakery cum patisserie. It doesn't have much pastries, in fact, the main highlights of the cafe were the cakes. We've walked past Obolo a couple of times late in the night usually after dinner, and the cafe would be closed. This time round, we specifically went down to Joo Chiat a little earlier just to give this cafe that is said to be using French, European and Japanese pastries as inspiration for stylish and comtemporary presentation.

When we first stepped into the store, one glance and we were able to oversee the entire cafe. They do have seats and tables, but the place is relatively small if you were to compare it with local pastry joints like Bakerzin and Coffee Bean.

As it was our first time there, we went with the usual impromptu question - what are the recommended cakes? The girl at the counter was quite friendly and she went along to introduce us some of the store's "best sellers". She mentioned the Nosiette and Mango Passion. Nosiette would be the chocolote mousse cake while Mango Passion was a cheesecake based.

Mr Vinest thought that the staff was rather "unprofessional" as she wasn't really sure of which cake to introduce because her first line was "all the cakes are very good". haha which i would love to believe and try every single one of them! sadly, our stomachs could only take so much that day as we were just opting for appetizers.

After much raving about which cheesecake to try, we settled down for the chocolate cheesecake. It looks really cute with the macaron on top.




Can you see the huge chunk of choc at the bottom of the cake? yum yum.

I love the cheesey , sweet and sour taste of the cake. Will definitely be coming back for MORE! :D

你在哪里？



The main courses were above average, i love the sauce that goes with the chicken and the salmon for the pasta was fresh. Portions were just right though they look really huge. I wanted to order the Clay fish Pasta which was intro on the set of Makan King, but i couldn't find it anywhere on the menu. And the staff had no clue about it too. hmm, weird huh.




Now to the desserts. As everyone knows, i am a dessert person! However, it was disappointing. The waffles are soggy and anyone who has eaten waffles before could tell that these waffles are obviously frozen ones taken out from the freezer and left to heat ten minutes before. the ice cream was so-so, i mean i don't expect much but at least serve us with better crispier waffles? Even regular restaurants that are not specialized in waffles like Cartel and Swensens have no qualms in producing better quality desserts.

It was a little weird to have a puny slice of grape to match along with the strawberry too.

Owell, perhaps there are more worth while desserts to try in their menu, but the waffle ice cream was definitely a disappointment.

Overall, Miss You will be a place that i will miss. Will most probably come back some day to try out the other stuff on the menu.
