The mother of all bread?!?

According to the Indian dictionary, the word 'Roti' means a type of bread. But what has that got to do with our post today?

'Coffee Bun' This would be their signature bun. I remember a few years back, due to the popularity of the 'Coffee Bun', in order not to lose out to the ever changing food market, almost all the bakery in the neighborhood are selling this. But what's so special about this? For a start, the outer layer was pretty crispy. In contrast to the outer layer, the inner layer was far more fluffy. As you dig into the bun, you will realize that the bun has this nice sweet taste, topped with the nice aroma of 'Coffee'. This has pretty much explains the popularity of this shop. (When I was walking past the place, I was like how can this bakery survive with limited items on the menu... =.=""" However, it seems that this shop has been around for more than 10 years, which is @.@.)

So where can you give the 'Coffee Bun' a good try?

The name of this shop would be 'Roti Mum'. They currently only has a shop in Singapore, which is located in 'IMM'.

Eating black colour balls?

We were looking for a good place to sit down and do a bit of catching up. Well, after spending a bit of time walking around, we ended up sitting inside a dessert place.

Left: "'Jiu Fen' Taro Ball Crushed Ice"(九份芋圓冰) Right: "Honey Yam Crushed Ice with Milk"(蜜芋頭牛奶冰) As for the dessert "'Jiu Fen' Taro Ball Crushed Ice", a lot of ingredients were included inside it. However, the ice that they were using isn't the fine type of ice, or more commonly known as snow ice. I think that it will taste much better if they are using snow ice rather than the smaller chips of ice. With the ice that they are using, I think the excitement has already dropped 50%. As for the ingredients, they are pretty ordinary. As for the dessert "Honey Yam Crushed Ice with Milk", is a little bit too plain as compared to the previous dessert. It's mainly a mountain of ice + a few cubes of Honey Yam. Even though the Yam comes with a nice fragrance and it's pretty sweet and delicious, but this dessert is slightly a bit too plain. I think that it would taste better if they have added a few more types of ingredients into this dessert. I would highly recommend this if you are a big fan of good tasty 'Yam'.

So where can you give all these desserts a try?
