源味手工笋粿 @AMK Blk 226 Eating House

Koo Cai Kueh

Koo Cai Kueh

We were looking for nibbles and recalled that we didn’t quite manage to eat here the last round, as everything was sold out! Since we were quite early today, we decided to try! And erm, we were told that it would be a 30 minute wait because all they were still making the kuehs!

Actually, it was a 20 minute wait, because we saw a queue suddenly forming. The stall people recognised hubby and quickly gave him the food! And so we had Soon Kueh ($0.90 for the turnip version, and $1.10 for the bamboo shoot version), Koo Cai Kueh ($0.80), and Orh Kueh, aka Yam Cake ($1.10).

Hubby actually wanted to try the bamboo shoot version of soon kueh, but unfortunately, they took the incorrect order. However, the slightly spicy turnip version was also very good! We loved the chewy texture of the skins for all the kuehs, and with the fillings still warm and fragrant, we wiped out all the kuehs within minutes!

H.O.T. Cafe @Market Street

Iced Latte

Iced Latte

We chanced upon the House of Taste and figured that we could use a drink!

Alas, they had ran out of cranberry juice, so we had an Iced Latte ($6.50) instead. It was a lovely cold, strong, and large cup of coffee that made hubby a happy man 🙂

The wood decorations and the lovely music also made this little cafe a nice place to chill out. Note that alcohol is served from 5pm onwards.

Dazzling Cafe @Capitol

Truffle Mushroom Risotto

Truffle Mushroom Risotto

Cheddar Cheese Danish Honey Toast

Cheddar Cheese Danish Honey Toast

There were so many restaurants and cafe at the new Capitol Piazza and we thought Dazzling Cafe looked quite promising with the huge crowd. We were lucky that there was still a table for 2, and were ushered in, ahead of the larger groups who were still waiting for a table.

It was when we were seated that we realised that everyone seemed to be here for the toast 😛 But, first, a proper dinner for us 🙂

Woodshed Cafe @Rangoon

Woodshed Waffle

Woodshed Waffle

We had some time to kill before Father’s Day dinner so we wander around on FourSquare and Sugar, and landed up in Rangoon Road. This cafe is right at the end of the road, and we could easily have missed it.

The interior decor is simple but there are lots of space around since the tables were sparsely placed. That gave diners privacy and we could see some were just studying and some were reading.

Ordered a Woodshed Waffle, Iced Latte and a pot of Tea to wither our time away… Waflle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Latte and tea were the usual stuff. We liked the serenity of the place, with soft lighting, soothing music and lots of space, both in mind and body…

Workbench Bistro @AMK

Waffle with Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Waffle with Salted Caramel Ice Cream

G has recently shared his Wunderlist of to-try-food with us, and now, we don’t need to Google so much to find food to eat 😛

Anyway, we decided to come to The Workbench because we saw that waffles are sold here! So we had…

  • Waffle with Salted Caramel Ice Cream ($8.20): We loved this! The waffle had a pleasing buttery fragrance and was very crispy on the outside! The salted caramel ice cream was very flavourful and we loved the generous amount of almond bits; we were eating almonds every mouthful 🙂
  • Iced Latte ($5.50): It was just alright…
  • Hot Chai ($4.50): Too sweet 😦 Could hardly taste the chai.

Prices are nett, so very reasonable. Water is free and self-service. We will come back for the waffles 🙂

Milagro Spanish Restaurant @Orchard Central

Arròs Negre

Arròs Negre

We had initially wanted to go to 49 Seats (it opened a new branch here in Orchard Central), but the queue was oh-so-long, so we went to Milagro opposite, and what an unexpected find it was!

London Fat Duck @Scott’s Square

We had heard lots of good things about London Fat Duck and met up with Ms J to go check it out! It was about 35 minutes wait after we submitted our order chit on a weekday evening, and we were eating by 7.15pm!
