Uprising of Japanese Cafe...

Ten years ago, dining at a 'Hong Kong cafe' is probably one of the trendiest thing to do during that period of time. 'Hong Kong cafe' back then was so so common. There's probably one in every neighborhood. Me and my friends used to hang out there too. :) However, that was a completely different situation as compared to now.

Since I had a heavy dinner earlier, I decided to go for the desserts only.

'Japanese Matcha & Ogura Honey Toast'
This is pretty similar to the thick toast that one can get at a 'Hong
Kong Cafe'. But over here, they have topped it with several types of
Japanese ingredients, etc. 'Shiratama'(Sweet rice flour dumpings),
green tea ice cream, red beans... The finishing touch would be the
portion of 'Honey' that goes on top of everything else.


I started dividing it into 9 pieces. After dividing it into smaller
pieces, the ingredients started flowing down the 'holes' that goes
between the pieces of toast. As I dig into the toast, besides for
the nice and sweet sensation, it also comes with this nice fragrance,
which is a (+). Not only it's fluffy inside, the toast is also
covered in this thin layer of crust. And the chef has come up with a
pretty good dessert, which is a good mix between a Toast and the
Japanese ingredients.

The name of this Japanese cafe would be 'Wa Cafe'.
It's located on basement 1 of 'Chinatown Point'.

Opening Hours:
  • 11:00 - 21:00

The diner where side dishes rules...

Who says that you can only be getting average stuff at an affordable Japanese buffet. This post will prove you wrong, very wrong. In fact, the location of this place is so good that the seats are easily filled up by the neighbouring office workers & commoners like you and me within minutes during the lunch hours...

Depending on your luck, the main dish of the day will differs from time to
time. I'm getting this marinated fish during my first visit. Thought it's
tasty, but as compared to the dish I'm getting during my second visit, this
is far more inferior. During my second visit, I'm actually getting an 'Steamed
Anago(Eel) Rice bowl'. Unlike the usual serving of 'Steamed Anago Rice bowl'
out there in the market, the chef over here are using a bamboo tray to prepare
the 'Steamed Anago Rice bowl'. And they are covering the base of the bamboo
tray with a Banana Leaf. By doing this, it could push the fragrance and the
overall taste of the 'Steamed Anago Rice bowl' to a higher level. :D

Depending on your luck(?), the side dishes differs from time to time.
(As you can see, a small table isn't sufficient for me.)

They have 'fried side dishes' such as 'Karaage(Fried Chicken, it's juicy
and not too oily), Tempura (Crispy and not too oily), 'Dashimaki Tamago'
(Japanese rolled omelette, fluffy and yummy), Simmered Potatoes, etc...
The chef really put his heart and efforts in preparing these delicious
dishes. Even simple dishes like 'Croquette', they are adding ingredients
like sweet corns to enhance the overall taste even further. :D Well, if
you are not into 'Fried' stuff, there always stuff like...

They also have cooked dishes like the above. As mentioned earlier these
dishes will change on a daily basis. And most of these dishes always
managed to maintain a good balance between the meaty and vegetables stuff.

Depending on your luck, you might be getting these steamed delights too.
When I was there previously, they are offering Dim Sum and one of my
personal favorites, 'Chawanmushi'(Steamed Egg in a Tea Bowl) and it also
comes with slices of 'Shiitake Mushrooms' too. :D But wait, that isn't
the best item on their menu.

'Japanese Curry Rice'
Loaded with lots of vegetables like 'Carrots', 'Mushrooms' and 'Meaty
Chicken Cubes', this dish is a champion. Besides for the delicious
'Chicken Curry'(I have 3 portions of this the first time round), they
are also serving delicious looking 'Beef' curry too. Not sure about
the 'Beef Curry', but the texture of the 'Chicken Curry' is pretty
thick, sweet and delicioous.

On top of that, they also have Japanese vegetables cold dishes,
yummy 'Miso Soup' and a unlimited flow of good Japanese Tea.

So where can you give this buffet a good try?
The name of this Japanese Cafe/Restaurant would be 'Hanare'.
It's located on level 2 in one of the shop houses along
'Tanjong Pagar Road', which is also located opposite 'Tanjong Pagar Market

Beyond a Tiramisu..

How to go beyond a 'Tiramisu'? A good chef will challenge himself by asking the same question over and over again. I'm not really sure how it can be done, but this would be an interesting way to go beyond the usual 'Tiramisu'.

'Pandan Tiramisu'
I wouldn't consider this as a 'Tiramisu', in fact the appearance reminds me of
the 'Thai dessert','Ta Ko', and the local specialty,'Chendol'. The overall taste
would be a bit too sweet for me, since it's mainly made out of 'Coconut', 'Pandan'
and 'Chocolate'. The top and the bottom layers are pretty spongy, but as you dig
deeper into the 'Tiramisu', you will be getting these crunchy bits in the middle,
which tries to add a bitter taste to neutralise the overall sweet taste. However,
the overpowering sweet taste of the dessert isn't something that can be covered
so easily. :P

'Dark Cherry Tiramisu'
This reminds me of a typical 'Tiramisu' as compared to the 'Pandan Tiramisu'.
The rectangular shape and the use of colours/ingredients made it pretty much the
same as the typical 'Tiramisu'. Taste wise, besides for the indulging taste of a
typical 'Tiramisu', they have also added the fruity sweet taste of cherries. :)
However, it has the similar problem as the 'Pandan Tiramisu'. Though the overall
dining experience is pretty good, but the 'Tiramisu' are a bit too sweet for me. :P

By the way, they are coming up with a new formula for a new 'Tiramisu', which is
full of 'Caramel'... :P

So where can you give the 'Tiramisu' a good try?
The name of this cafe would be "L'Atelier Tiramisu".
It's located on Basement 1 of 'The Central',
which is also located above 'Clarke Quay' MRT Station.

Where Strangers' Reunite....

Rather than ended up giving the usual Chinese desserts a try, we decided to hop on a bus and ended up at this place giving something special a try. :)

Rather than handled us glasses of water and you will be ended up waving
at the waitresses like a crazy mad man, they have also handled us a big
bottle of water, which is a pretty good move. (Well, too bad, no more
crazy mad man role-playing a.k.a cosplay?)

'Buttermilk Waffle with Passionfruit, White Chocolate, Coconut Zest & Vanilla Ice Cream'
Though this doesn't appear to be pretty big and at the same time, slightly
a bit unfriendly to my wallet, but for a waffle, this is pretty good. As
I cut a slice and put it into my mouth, I'm amazed with the crispy texture
that comes with it and as I continue to chew further, the soft and fluffy
interior just make it better and better. Despite of the amount of syrup and
ice cream that was topped onto the waffle, the waffle doesn't turn up to
be soft and soggy pretty fast, which makes it far more superior than the
other competitors out there. In fact, the waffle is so good that to some
extent, I was focusing more on cutting and savouring the waffle than the
ingredients that comes with it. Taste wise, there's a good mixture of 'sweet',
'zesty' and 'bitter' taste. However, there's more of a 'sweet' and 'zesty'
sensation more than the 'bitter' taste. :D But try not to end up like me.
try to have both the waffle and the ingredients together else you might
end up with a lot of ingredients but a small piece of waffle to go with it. :P

So where can you give the delicious waffle a good try?
The name of this cafe would be "Strangers' Reunion".
It's located beneath one of the shophouses along 'Kampong Bahru Road'.

Nothing to do with the Shoujo Manga...

If you are pretty familiar with infamous Manga(Japanese Comics) Titles, you will easily understand why I have given this post such a title. Anyway, I have given the following a try the other day...

'Houjicha Shiratama Parfait'(Houjicha and Rice Flour Dumplings Parfait)
Though the 'Parfait' idea was originated from the West, but the first time
I have actually given it a try was a few years back in 'Kyoto', 'Japan'.

As for the 'Parfait' over here, for a start the 'Houjicha' syrup that is
poured on top of the 'Parfait' is pretty thick, strong and they have
managed to bring out the rich and smoky taste of the Japanese 'Houjicha'.
The same goes for the 'Houjicha' ice cream that comes with it. In order to
appreciate a 'Parfait' to the maximum, I think that you shouldn't be eating
the ingredients separately. You should try scooping 2 or more types of
ingredients at 1 go. Besides for the 'Houjicha' stuff, ingredients like the
Chewy 'Shiratama'(Rice Flour Dumplings), crispy 'Corn Flakes', Chewy
'Kanten Jelly', etc... were added too. Therefore, there's a nice mixture of
different types of ingredients(in terms of the texture and the taste) that
are brought together and produce this nice and interesting 'Parfait'. Hence,
if you are into 'Hojicha' and ice cream, I think that this would be one of
the better places that offers such a delicious combination. :D

So where can you give the 'Parfait' a good try?
The name of this restaurant would be "nana's green tea".

Nothing to do with Apple...

That's right, even though the name of this place has the 'Mac' word in it, but it has nothing to do with 'Apple'.

'Tandoori Chicken Pizza'
Although it's merely the size of a normal regular pizza, what makes
this interesting will be the topping that goes on top of the pizza.
The main toppings of this pizza would be the generous portion of
'Tandoori Chicken', 'Capsicum' and 'Jalapeno'. Probably they wanted
to attract the interest of a bigger group of consumer, therefore they
have managed to come up with this interesting type of pizza. A
fusion dish between the Indians and the Western food.

Taste wise, the crispy and not too thick crust is a great way to
start. As you move towards the 'core', the nice mixture of melted
cheese and ingredients makes it pretty chewy. Rather than being spicy,
the overall taste of the pizza is relatively sweet and as you gobble
down the first slice, the meaty and cheesy sensation is so good that
simply makes you want to go on and on. :D

So where can you give the interesting pizza a try?
The name of the cafe would be "Mac's Cafe & Bar'.
It's located on level 1 of 'Fusionopolis'.
Notes:
  • Operating Hours:
    Weekdays: 11:00 - 12:00
    Weekends: ?

A Squarish Block of Rainbow

Ever since we were a kid, we were taught that a Rainbow will appear in the shape of a Arc. But a squarish Rainbow(?) that will be something that we will be exploring today.

'Rainbow Cake'
This is my second encounter with a 'Rainbow Cake'. Rather than serving
a slice out of a round cake, they are serving a block of cake instead.
Though it's a smaller slice of cake, but a block of cake simple makes it
much more easier to savour as compared to a slice that was taken from a
round cake. (At least you don't have the trouble of the slice of cake
tumbling over.)

For a start, the layers looks pretty attractive. On top of that, the chef
has also topped it with all these circular sparkling bits, which makes
it pretty beautiful. :)

Taste wise, the layers are not too spongy and there's a nice proportions
of cake crumbs. Besides that, the overall taste of the cake isn't too
sweet, which is a big (+) to me. :D

Though this cafe is kinda small, but by taking a look at their menu, they
seems to have a wide variety of items. Besides for the different types
of cakes, they also have cupcakes, macarons, waffles, etc...

So where can you give the 'Rainbow cake' a try?
The name of this cafe would be 'The Bakery Chef'.
It's located along 'Bukit Merah Central',
which is located near the 'Bukit Merah Community Library'.

Eating a Rainbow....

Although I don't think anyone could follow the trail of a rainbow that might be leading you to a pot of gold, but one could definitely eat a rainbow.

In fact, I saw my friend uploading a photo of the 'Rainbow Cake" the
other day and it seems that the cake has imprint itself deeply upon
my mind. Therefore since I have the time the other day, I decided to
give it a try.

I think that the texture of the 'Rainbow Cake' was pretty soft, the
'Chocolate' was pretty rich and the overall taste of this cake isn't
too sweet, which is pretty good. But, I guess the biggest gimmick here
would be the colours of this cake. Initially, I was hoping that each
individual layer would be of a completely different taste, but it ended
up to be more of a game of food colouring. I personally think that it
would be great if they can link the individual layer of the cake to a
completely different flavour and that would definitely attract much
much more customers. But as for now, this acts as a good incentive to
start your day with a smile.

So where can you give the 'Rainbow Cake' a try?
The name of this place would be 'Le Chocolat Cafe'.
It's located on level 1 of 'The Club Hotel'.

Creativity starts from a waffle...

I have come across this interesting 'mini cafe' when we were on our way to one of the best cinema in Singapore a few weeks back. Based on my personal experiences, I still find 'The Cathay' to be one of the best cinemas in Singapore. Anyway, since I was passing by the cinema the other day, I decided to give the food over here a try. Therefore...

Waffle set - 'Sinfully Chocolate'
For a waffle set, you get to select either a
'Savory' waffle or a 'Sweet' waffle and a beverage.

So what's a 'Savory' waffle?
Basically it's a normal waffle that comes
with meaty ingredients such as hotdog, Ham, etc...

And what's a 'Sweet' waffle?
It's a normal waffle that comes with fruits.
It can be either banana, strawberry, blueberry, etc...

Basically, I ended up choosing a 'Sweet' waffle known as 'Sinfully Chocolate'.
They chef has sliced up the waffle into 4 pieces and 3 of them are covered with
chocolate flakes, which is 'Koko Krunch', pieces of chocolate and also chocolate
sauce. The texture of the waffle is pretty nice, which is crispy on the outside
and moist on the inside. I started slicing up the waffle into smaller pieces
and threw it into my mouth. I love the crunchy sensation of the chocolate flakes
and I personally find the chocolate taste slightly a bit too strong for me. For
chocolate lovers, you should really give this waffle a try. The strawberry yogurt
ice cream, which is place on top on the last piece of waffle is pretty good too.
Since it's a type of yogurt ice cream, the texture is usually much more softer and
it's pretty much similar to small pieces of fine ice. I was simply slicing up the
last piece of waffle and have it with a bit of ice cream and a bit of chocolate
sauce. The sweet sensation was pretty nice and this is an indulging way of killing
off all the crazy heat.

'Peach Roselle Tea Sangria'
I have selected this beverage to quench my thirst. Basically the texture of
this beverage is pretty much similar to a ice blended fruit juice. However
the texture of the one over here is much more thicker and the taste of the
fruits are much more stronger, which is a nice alternative on a crazy hot day.

So where can you give all these waffles a try?
The name of this cafe would be 'Createaf Waffles'.
It's located on level 1 of 'The Cathay'.

Notes:
  • Opening Hours:
    Sundays - Thursdays: 12noon - 10pm

Beyond a simple Kaya Bread

To most of the Singaporeans, 'Kaya Bread' would simply be 2 slices of toasted bread with 'Kaya' and 'Butter'. Though the the butter can varies but eventually it's pretty much the same. However...

Left: Tea
Top Right: Orange Ciabatta Kaya Bread
Bottom Right: Kaya Bread
The 'Tea' and the 'Kaya Bread' that you can get from this place are
relatively good, but those aren't the main focus of this post.

The main focus over here would be the 'Orange Ciabatta Kaya Bread'.
So what makes this 'Kaya Bread' so special?
First of all, though they are using a completely different type of bread
but the texture of the bread is much more softer and it blends in
with the 'Kaya' spread pretty well. :D Secondly, the taste of the
'Kaya' bread were pretty much similar with the normal 'Kaya' bread,
but it comes with a strong fragrance of sun-dried tangerine peel,
which smells pretty good, but would this be the furtherest that they
can go? I will definitely be looking forward with their next
innovative idea. :P By the way, last but not least, though the size
is slightly a bit small, but it's definitely a good idea to have this
for breakfast or high tea and at the same time doesn't ruin your
appetite for a satisfying lunch or dinner. (:P)

So where can you give the 'Orange Ciabatta Kaya Bread' a try?

The name of this coffee shop would be 'Good Morning Nanyang Cafe'(早安南洋).
Though I think that they have a few outlets island-wide, but I have only
given the outlet located at 'Telok Ayer Hong Lim Green CC' a try.

Notes:
  • Operating Hours:
    7:30am - 7:30pm (Weekdays)
    8:30am - 5:30pm (Saturday)

Breakfast @ Night

Have you ever dreamed of having 'America Breakfast' for Breakfast? What if the idea of having 'America Breakfast' for Lunch or Dinner isn't a dream too. Wouldn't that make your life much more happier? (:D) Introducing...


"Loft's Breakfast"
This is a luxurious breakfast. It reminds me of the good old days when I
travelled overseas. The breakfast set comes with 'Scrambled Eggs', 'Bacon'
'Sausage', 'Ham', 'Mushrooms', 'Tomato', 'Yogurt' and 'Pancakes'.
Probably the shop owner has the same passion as I do, he probably miss
the 'American Breakfast' pretty much as I do, therefore and he has
decided to offer the set meal throughout the day.

Anyway taste wise, besides for the 'Yogurt', which tastes too 'sour'
the rest of it are pretty delicious. For instance, the 'Scrambled Egg'
isn't too watery and too soft. You can cut it into multiple pieces and
use a fork to scoop up the egg easily. :) As for the meaty stuff, it's
pretty well done and beautiful. :D Just for the above, I think this
'America Breakfast' deserves a lot of '+'. But that's not all...


In the past, when I have a lust for 'Pancakes', the first option will
ended up to be a fast-food restaurant. However since it's a fast-food
restaurant, the 'Pancakes' will always ended up to be pretty soft and
thin, which is kinda... ==""" Though the taste is acceptable but it
ain't satisfying enough. As you can see, though the 'Pancakes' over here
aren't too big nor too small, but they are definitely much more thicker.
And it's much more solid than the 'Pancakes' that you are getting at a
fast-food restaurant. Though the 'Pancakes' are covered with sprinkles
of Sugar, but it will taste much more heavenly when you have covered it
with the syrup that comes with it. :D Simply Irresistibly Yummy~~~

So where can you have the luxury of having 'Breakfast' at night?
The name of this restaurant would be 'The Loft Cafe'.
It's located along 'South Bridge Road' and it's within 10 - 15 minutes
walking distance from 'Chinatown MRT'.

Taiwan Snow Ice

I just can't stop posting all these ice cold stuff. Either it's due to the hot weather or it's just being me. My stomach ruling my body? Or could it be merely temptation? Either ways, here comes...


'Super Combo Snow Ice'
Basically it's a bowl of shaved ice topped with a layer of fruits,
which includes strawberry, kiwi and mango. The size of it looks
kinda small, especially when I was trying to compare it against the
'Snow Ice' that I have seen in Singapore before. But the taste is
definitely there. The first few bites might ended up to be pretty
normal but as you move into the bottom of the bowl, the taste of
the melted ice will blend with the taste of the fruits and milk.
The taste of the blend is pretty good and it is pretty suitable
for a crazily hot day. :D

So where could you give this a try?

The name of this place would be 'Taipei Cafe'.
It's located on level 1 of 'North Bridge Commercial Complex',
which is located behind 'Bugis Junction' and it's located near
'Liang Seah' Street.

Notes:

Atas ice cream in your friendly neighbourhood

When we talk about places to get ice cream around your neighbourhood, places like 24 hours convenience stores and neighbourhood supermarket will tend to be the first item that comes popping out of your mind. But time flies and things have changed...


You can actually get atas ice cream in your neighbourhood nowadays.
I'm actually getting this ice cream from a restaurant located on
level 1 of a HDB block. Woo Hoo~~~~

And it doesn't sell normal ice cream flavours like vanilla,
Strawberry and Chocolate but flavours like Rum and Raisin,
Matcha (Green Tea), Salted Gula Malaka, etc...

As for myself, I was looking forward to the chilli flavour,
which is not available that day, but since I have travelled
great distance to this place, I shall not leave that place
empty handed. :P So her we have it. Rum and Raisin & Banana
ice cream cone. (Too bad I can only put 2 scoops of ice cream
on the cone, otherwise I would like to try the flavour
Salted Gula Malaka (Looks pretty much like Caramel with Salt)...)

Taste wise, Rum and Raisin is pretty sweet ice cream and it
really comes with raisins. As for the banana ice cream, the
taste is too overwhelming. I have never expected it to be so
strong. >.<""""

The exciting and disturbing part about the ice cream of this
place, they tend to change the flavours on a daily basis.
Will be good if they can place a ice cream menu somewhere
so that a trip wouldn't be wasted.... :P

So where to get the atas ice cream?

The name of this cafe would be "Creamier".
It's located on level 1 of Blk 128, Toa Payoh Lorong 1.

Singapore's AKB48 Official Shop & Cafe

Currently, 'AKB48' would most likely be one of the most famous female idol groups in Japan. As per today, there have up to 57 formal members, which is the total number of people in team A, team K, team B and team 4. On top of the number of formal members that the group currently has, they also have a number of aspiring members, known as the 'Kenkyuusei' or trainees. Therefore, with the number of members that the group currently has, I personally felt that it is absolutely impossible for an average person to memorise the names of all the members of 'AKB48'. However, one would probably have heard of the names of some of the members before. Ex: Atsuko Maeda, Yuuko Ooshiima... etc. (In fact, I could only memorise the names of 2 members only... :P)

The photos in the above were taken outside the 'AKB48' Official shop.
One could easily find all sorts of products that comes with various kinds
of 'AKB48' design. Ex: T-shirts, Posters, mug, etc...
(Just as I expected, all the posters of 'Atsuko Maeda' and 'Yuuko Ooshiima'
were out of stock. They were indeed the infamous members of 'AKB48'.)

'AKB48' Official shop is located on the 2nd floor of '*scape' shopping mall.
and...

'AKB48' Cafe is located on the 3rd floor.

The above shows the interior of 'AKB48' Cafe.
Besides for the continuous broadcasting of 'AKB48' performances,
the glass panels and walls were decorated with photos of 'AKB48'.
This is indeed a cafe specially built for 'AKB48' fans.

The following would be my interests... food~~~!!!

The above would be 'Shouga Yaki Set', which is also known as
'Fried Pork with Ginger Sauce' set.
In fact, this is my first encounter with a set meal that comes with
'Fried Pork' and 'Ginger Sauce'. Looks pretty interesting... Don't you agree?
Note: that the taste of the Ginger sauce is pretty strong, so take my advice,
pour the sauce onto the fried pieces of pork slowly otherwise, please be
mentally prepared to bear the consequences.

The above would be the 'AKB48 Ice Cream Set'.
The flavours of the ice cream that were given here are
'Strawberry', 'Matcha' and 'Ocean'.
I love the taste of the 'Ocean' ice cream very much. :D
In fact, the colours used in this Ice Cream set were pretty
much similar to the team colours of 'AKB48'.
The team colour of 'Team A' would be 'Pink' (Strawberry Ice Cream),
The team colour of 'Team K' would be 'Green' (Matcha Ice Cream),
The team colour of 'Team B' would be 'Blue' (Ocean Ice Cream) and
The team colour of 'Team 4' would be 'Yellow' (Banana slices).
Besides for the beautiful colours that you are getting,
the Ice Cream set was pretty delicious.
Note: Based on the texture and the taste of the Ice Cream, there is
a possibility that the chef might have made the Ice Cream himself.
