Laurent Bernard chocolatier (28th Nov 2008)

an extension of a wonderful lunch... I always enjoy my time with my mentor :)

The chocolate Tarte

Strawberry Melba

This was quite good...

Pistachio Macaron

I didn't like this.

Nice place to be :) Esp when the boss is not around, and the service staffs do not care about the customers... I can shoot as much as I want... :D

Breakfast @ BT timah Hawker Centre (29th Nov 2008)

Went running errand with parents... and decided to go to Bt Timah Hawker Centre for breakfast...


Comfort food !!! Duck porridge :P~












Yong tau foo... one was for mom and the other for daddie... :D








Extra food !!
you tiao :D *yummY*





Sometimes i don't need expensive food... Comfort food works with me too :D

Pietrasanta - The Italian Restaurant (28th Nov 2008)

A place near my work place... the only (at the moment) decent italian place... I am quite happy having my meal here... and this time I got the indoor sitting... could be due to the fact that went after the lunch hours.... But as that day was another "vegetarian" day for me... so I have to be selective on what I am going to have...

Their bread... seemed more like biscuits (american version of biscuit) are simply lovely... I can just munch on these and forget about the main course... haha but due to the greedy nature of me... I can munch thru the whole basket and continue with the meal :D

Selezione di Formaggi Italiani
Cheese platter with olives, sweet and sour onions and Artichokes
I only would go for the cheese... I hate olives... I might be too extreme in my dislike for them... but just can't take the taste of it... and I also realize that I don't actually like a HUGE piece of artichoke.... :P The tomatoes were VERY GOOD! :D and the cheese played their parts well too...

Quattro formaggi pizza
Mozzarella Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, emmenthal cheese and blue cheese pizza
I loooooooove cheese.... but I would not had ordered so much cheese in a row... but as I am on a vegetarian diet... this was the only one I felt like having... and it was GOOD!

Ravioli di Ricotta e Spinaci
Home made Ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta cheese served with butter and sage.
My friend complained that this was too much..... too rich... esp after so much cheese stuffs before this meal... overdose of richness... But I thought it was good. I love rich food, esp dairy products.

Fettuccine di Castagne ai Porcini
Home made chestnut gnocchi tossed with porcini mushroom
The last time I came... I had the chestnut gnocchi... and now they seemed not to have it anymore. I was told that it came with fettuccine with little bits of the chestnut gnocchi... the sauce was good... the noodles were okay... but the gnocchi was pathetic... I didn't taste it at all... or it was mistaken for bits of mushrooms... I still prefer to have bite-size gnocchi...

I think this could easily be one of my favorite italian place ... but I think they need to have more choices in terms of desserts... could be the dessert cafe which is besides it, which lessen the need to have a longer dessert list...

China St Hainanese Curry Rice (26th Nov 2008)

*yummy* I had been introduced to this stall by a fren who is not working in Singapore anymore.... but she is at a better place with more choices of food *envy*


I think this is one of the better Hainanese Curry Rice in Singapore... other than another one some where near to Somewhere... I might try to make an effort to go there soon...


Look at the line of ppl waiting for their wonderful food....

one of the guy who is serving the long line of ppl waiting...

A look at what they have to offer...





Rice with lots of curry gravy
This is definitely a must have!!! and also with LOTS of gravy!!! :D

Stewed cabbage
looks oily... but taste fantastic :D

Stewed meatball...
this is excellent!!!! Thinking about it made me drool.... someone need to wipe the floor later...

Stewed beancurd

Pork chop
another of my favorite... *yummy* dipped with the gravy ...

This guy is quite an entertainer :D always up for a nice shot!!

Although I am not a fan of hawker centre... esp crowded ones... but good ones will lure me out of my cave... and this is one of them... though as a hermit... the crowd was slightly overwhelming for me...

Two Chefs eating place (25th Nov 2008)

I heard about this place from my co workers... I meant they are supposed to be quite good, from the blog entry of a person...

Hokkien mee zi char style
I still prefer the stall that's just a stone throw away...

Sambal Potato leaves

Golden Mushroom Beancurd - special... cause they supposed to have made their own beancurd... but it wasn't anything special

Butter Ribs
This is supposed to be the famous dish.. I think they are featured in the newspaper... one of the sunday edition...

Drunken cockles
I would not say it's good... but the right word to use would be different... they are not the usual throw in the water and boil types...

Name of the place n the look of it...

yes, the Butter ribs are quite good... but then it wasn't that great when I packed some home for my dad... so... if you want to have good food, make sure it eaten while it's hot.
I like my food BETTER when it's hot and GOOD still when it's room temp :P
Give it a try, if u want.. but once would be enough for me.

Please don't tell my regular zi char store I been to this place for dinner...

ROC Pizza (22nd Nov 2008)

I saw someone's blog on this pizza stall, decided to give it a try.... I always like young people who ventured into own business, esp food businesses. Young people would usually give quite good new ideas to how to produce a food, and most of them would start with great passion. :D

Here is the chef making my pizza!! :D

Chicken Sausage with mushroom pizza

Cheese Pizza

I think this pizza is a great idea :D I always love thin crust pizza... this is more like biscuit crust :D which is quite good with some wine and beer. Serve it when you get a few frens (which I did) to share, so you can order a few types. I think the chicken sausages with mushroom pizza is fantastic. Would definitely go for it again :D

Gobi at Cental Mall (22nd Nov 2008)

I think having little macarons seemed so interesting... but we end up buying the bigger ones... My fren, who came back from a long trip... and who just left for another long trip... got extra for me... cause she knew that I loooooooooooooooove macarons :D

These are the flavours they have in their store...

Rose - Aromatic rose Macarons
Chai Charm - Soothing Marsala Chai
Morgan Blend - Lapsang Soucheng tea blended with bergamor oil and dark chocolate
Chamomile Dream - Natural Chamomile
Matcha - Green Tea
Claming Floral - White Flower
Black Sheep - Malibu and dark chocolate

I do not know what made this place so exclusive... I don't think it's a special place... give me a sense of cheapo atas... and their macarons can't make it in terms of taste... though it's rather pretty. Can be bought for display but not for impressing picky eaters.
