HappyLemon

Hmm heard alot abt HappyLemon n even from Lifestyle so I jus had to try it.

I had the Yakult with Green Tea (3.50) with pearls (additional $0.50) which I say was pretty refreshing. The combi was not tt gross, and instead I quite liked the drink. The Frens- Astroboy tried Lemon with passionfruit, Gay tried cookies and cream with coffee and Ah Lian tried some lemon with green tea. sry! the names r really quirky tt u really hav some trouble recalling them.

Well, Hmm they say tt amongst the 4 of us, the best was cookies and cream with coffee but I felt tt the best was lemon with green tea. So u see,their drinks r quite subjective but I REALY ANNOTFATHOM MYSELF DRINKING SOME WEIRD CONCOCTION LIKE GREEN TEA WITH CHEESE N SALT! when I muster tt kind of courage, I'll sure blog abt it! :D

Orchard Cafe

Now I seized the chance when I knew there was a 2-for-2 offer at the orchard café and my sis bdae was coming so…. There we go!

Excited at the prospect of fresh lobsters, oysters, prawns and yummy sashimi plus their signature durian paste, I practically controlled my diet for the day so tt I cld feast at nite.

The oysters were good, like super BIG n fresh and the sashimi + abalone pieces were cut thickly and oh so fresh tt it slides down ur throat. Hwr, the fresh prawns n crabs were disappointing as it lacked the sweetness of wat u wld expect of these crustaceans.

The abalone porridge was yummy and paired with KONG BA aka braised pork, u’re thrown over. The toughness yet tender (I know, quite paradox rite? But it really made me feel tt way) of the kong ba made me melt as I reminisced the few times I ate kong ba previously, which were the least of the least.

They had an interesting variety but pls dive for their nonya laksa & Prawn mee soup! They were a delight and my sis, being a soup-lover was tempted to jus ask for another bowl of prawn soup w/o any condiments nor noodle. Hwr, being super shy, she didn’t.

LAKSA

PRAWN MEE SOUP


They hav more of an asian side where they serve Indian- Nasi Bryiani , Malay- Mutton Rendang, Chinese- Kway Chap & Teochew porridge cuisine. So it was nice being able to taste everything, all at once.

They even hav a salad bar where u can toss ur own salad and hav a range of condiments and salad dressings. The dessert counter is also quite attractive, spanning 2 counters with the usuals like ice cream, some local desserts like green bean soup n fruit with ice jelly, small servings of kueh kueh and cakes which I thot was thotful cos it’s a buffet so u cant finish much but I think it wld hav been even better if they cut the size even smaller by half, cos I wld like to try a variety but not quantity. The Signature Durian Paste was WHAM! Super nice, it’s as if ya eating the durian fruit itself w/o the seeds, how convenient!

the yummy desserts:

the tiny macaroon is supe cute rite? n it's pink! LOL






SIGNATURE DURIAN PASTE- the mum says it's too sweet for her plalette but it's alright for me :)

It isn’t a bad place to consider but I was a little disappointed with their range of seafood. So I’ll give it a 3 out of 5 star. Given tt it was on offer, which cost abt only $20 plus per pax, this was considered quite a steal for us :D

blogshop jelly-o

Blogshop Jellies



Ok my mum koped(stole) some jellied hearts which her colleagues bought from an online shop and THANK GOODNESS she did! HAHAH it was yummy. I know u cld buy clothes n other stuff online but not really food. Ok mayb I’m noob. Oh ya, Cheryl, the blogger of thebakerwhocooks.com did tt last time. Not sure if she still does.


But anways, these little hearts were adorable. I mean the strawberries were cut into heart shapes n embossed in the acrylic jellies which was layered underneath by a cream cheese layer and a digestive biscuit crumb. I heard tt each piece causes $0.50, hmm which is quite ex I guess, meaning to say tt there’s no branding and it’s homemade but hahh in the modern person’s context, wat’s $0.50 rite? It’s jus money u lose on the mj table! HAHA so yupp!

ERPS... nope it's acc $35 for 8pcs only so yeah... u cld buy it as a gift for sb then take the chance to try one!! HAHAHA wat a lousy trick rite? BUT who cares, tell ur fren tt u're sharing her fats! ><

Think the blog add is as follows:
http://thejellyhearts.wordpress.com

they also sell a range of other products so go ahead and see for urself. they hav another flavour- mango for their jelly hearts as well :) wah! so nice rite? I'm helpin them to advertise!

Best Olives

Did I ever mention tt this is THE PLACE to go when ya in search of some real, down-to-earth pasta plus when the times aint gd- aha referrin to too much indulgence thus causing ur pockets to kinda bleed dry. YES tt's my case here! goodness, can anybody tell me a magical way to literally grow ur money?

HAHHA it really helps when u r taught tt money is acc jus a percieved value, which in actual fact means it is jus plain worthless if not for its percieved value...

So with a hungry tummy (i didnt eat breakfast, jus a cuppa instant 3-in-1 coffee) n zoomed down to changi airport t2 with a meet up with my ex colleagues. MY MY, I so did miss their pasta!

At only $3-4 plus a plate, a generous portion is given. Thankfully they reverted back to this generous portion cos there was a period when CAG wanted to upgrade the canteens n expected the vendors to fork out $10,000 or leave. A few did leave cos of its exorbitant request but others stayed on, passing the costs over to us, we consumers by cutting the food portions by like almost HALF! colleague V was so anry tt she wanted to boycott it forever, but luckily they resumed their decent portions :) HAHHA if not, I think she'll be super sad but hahh she'll console herself by saying "It's full of CARBO, luckily I'm not eating tt!"


So my fav choice- Aglio Olio with seafood for jus $3.90 (staff price) plus u can alw request the change of pasta choice, they wont grumble. I like it bcos they cook each portion singly thus u do hav to wait for a little while but not tt long cos they prepare it slightly b4 such tt when they cook it for the final time,it's jus the right texture and taste.

So wat r u waiting for the next time ya waiting to catch a plane? Forget abt those DFS till u fill ur tummy n... RMB it's at T2! u hav to go to the carpark's lift n press "3M" to get to the pasta paradise - BEST OLIVES

Wah this is damn cheat. I get like only half the bowl when I’m paying full price?! WAT’S THIS?!



BOYCOTT Rocher Rd Beancurd, so little can?!

AHHHHHH! I feel so unjustified! $1.20 per serving

I hate to admit this, their beancurd is really of quality. It is so smooth & soft tt it slides down ur throat in an instant. Haish, if it werent given tt the other top-notc brands (a least wat Ithink)like Selegie Beancurd & Sogo Beancurd (at Old Airport HC) are so far, I wont be compelled to buy from here.
