Had boston clam chowder with chicken tikka from The Soup Spoon recently with LG. Went to the outlet at Plaza Sing. I like the open-concept where consumers get to see various soup. Also, there is a detailed touch screen menu which I thought was interactive. 

I feel that the soup is thick with reasonable portion of potatoes and carrots. It tasted good for the first few mouth but due to the thickness of the soup, it can be rather 'jerlat'. The chicken tikka is marinated well, served with breast meat and goes well with the wrap.

IMO, I think Petite provence bread is still my favourite. Would recommend milk pan and chocolate wassants. I like it because of its softness and freshness. It is a good snack for breakfast and tea-break. Nice! It is quite value for price too.

Tonkotsu Ramen Special 

Matcha cream latte

Went Maccha house for dinner with LG after service recently. Had Tonkotsu Ramen Special. The ramen tasted good though I expect it to be better. Nice portion with reasonable price. The soup is not as thick, and its easy to the throat. Guess it is slightly salty to my taste bud.

The Matcha Cream Latte is superb! It is rich in flavor and tasted just nice, not extremely sweet. Would recommend you to chill there with friends, ordering the beverages instead.

Had dinner with my dear secondary mates - G.K.N.I @ Tao's restaurant. This place was recommended by the media and friends. Thus, decided to head there and try the food! The place was nice and had good ambiance. The 7 course meal did not disappoint me. It tasted good as what I expected. 

The BBQ pork ribs meat is tender and juicy with quite a big portion for one. The grilled seasonal mushroom tasted good with the seasoning sauce which blended perfectly well with the mushroom. The taste wasn't that strong so you will not feel "jerlat" and want to have more. 

Prawn roll with pork floss tasted good! I pretty much like it. However, the portion is small! I think it should be served with 2 rolls instead of 1? 

The 4 different tea that ordered have their own unique taste which is good. After trying 4 of it, I like the rose apple tea most!

Each of us paid $42 for a 7 course meal. Pretty expensive but the food tasted good with each dish served rapidly to your table.

Menchi Katsu Set

Tried Menchi Katsu Set @ Hifumi. This dish here tasted good. The pork patty is thick and tasted quite juicy. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Think the sauce is too strong for my taste. It is rather interesting to grind your own sesame seeds before having your meal.

Every set comes with a free flow of appetizers which includes: potato salad, tofu gratin, pumpkin salad, cheese fondue, rice cracker, fried fish, and chawanmushi. You can also choose to pay an additional $1.99 to enjoy free flow drinks. The chawanmushi tasted good! I like it. (:

The place is rather spacious with good ambiance. I guess most are attracted to the free flow appetizers. A good value meal to satisfy your stomach.

Watched Jack Reacher with Danny. A crime investigation film which injected humor to lighten the show. The story flows well though I thought certain scenes are draggy. It also keep viewers in suspense with unexpected twist towards the end. This film here reminded me of cold war but I think the latter is slightly better.

If you are looking for and focusing more on action-pack in this show, this might disappoint you a little in that aspect.

Gao Feng Abalone Minced Pork Mee

This dish not only look appealing but tasted good! The appropriate amount of vinegar is added to this dish and it goes with well the dumpling, minced meat and abalone. Not to forget the chilli which blends well with the vinegar. However, I think the chilli might be slightly spicy for those who rarely take spicy stuff. Without the vinegar or chilli, I guess this might be just a ordinary noodle you can find elsewhere.

Tried Raisin Cream Cheese & Choz Banana  from Barcook Bakery. The texture of the bread is soft and the amount of filling stuffed in it is just nice. Not too much or less. Nice! 

Raisin Cream Cheese

Raisin Cream Cheese - The bread is soft with few raisin added. The cheese is not too heavy thus it did not get "jerlat" after the few bites I had. Great taste which blend well together with raisins and bread. I think it could be better if the cheese was spread-ed evenly.

Choz Banana

Choz Banana - The bread is soft and fluffy. A good combination of banana and chocolate because this will never go wrong. The sweetness of the chocolate and banana was acceptable to my taste bud. It is a good choice to have it for tea-breaks.
