Greetings (P.Osh)

During the festive season, greetings from corporate partners is an unspoken practice in the industry.
This year, the most memorable is the 5-piece customised brownies.

My colleague done a check online and the webby specifically stated that it will only last for 3 days. Moreover, such customisation cost about $34!

Close up of the "christmas tree".  
 Seriously, i was never a fan of brownie. My reaction from the first bite was: Soooooooo SWEET!
I didn't survive a 3rd bite....
However, i believe with the attractive designs and customisation service available, P.Osh will still win alot of votes.
Anyone interested can check it out at their outlet at Dhoby Ghaut :)

贡茶 (Gong Cha)

Yes, i know that its has been a trend in SG for long time. I first tried Gong Cha when it opened its outlet in Novena Sq. Pictures taken but have not done any upload :P

贡茶 - 献给宫廷的茶,tea fit for royalty.

This craze has been going around and drinking Gong Cha is like a must beverage after the hush hush 1-hr lunch for each office lady.


Outlet at Novena SQ 
 
Menu for all the teas varieties as well as others such as juice and coffee
  
Each signature Gong Cha is labelled with the preferred way to savour the drink

You may placed your customised drink in accordance to the level of sweetness and any add-ons.
To prevent any mix up of the drinks, each cup will be labelled with the type of tea and the level of sweetness selected.
Isn't that friendly :)
I have tried KOI some times back, but i personally felt that Gong Cha offers more varieties and good quality on the add-ons such as jelly and pearl. I particularly love their Ai-Yu jelly, 爱玉冻 and Herbal jelly, 仙草冻.

Recommendation:
Must try their signature Gong Cha (A1-A4) with add-ons of your choice.
Another special one would be (D11) Fresh milk with Herbal jelly, 鲜奶仙草冻. I have attempted to modify my order to mix it with Ai-Yu jelly which creates a very unique taste.
And, yes, it tasted good. Even the crew also praise me for that, heeeeee.

Word of advice:
Really need to try from Novena outlet becos i feel that the quality is not consistent for the other outlets.

Food from Muar.

Oops... Din realise my last post was 3 months ago!!  
Have a number of backlog reviews and pics waiting for me to sort.

Went for a 1 day trip to Muar to have durians at the farm and ate some of the famous local delicacies.
Therefore decided to share some of the pics here :) 
P/s: The durian is still constantly on my mind...

Uncle choosing the good ones and going into action.

The best.... slurp!

If customers wanted to buy the durians back to Singapore, the farm provides the option of transferring the durian to tupperware, for good convenience.

The famous Kee Mei Siew Pow (烧包) in Seremban.
Looks like a normal and plain store but taste really good.

In closer look.
There are 2 types of filling; chicken or pork meat.

The filling is not dry and most importantly you can still savour the sauce of the meat even when u heat it up after 1 or 2 days.

Kuih Bahulu, chocolate chip flavour (Johor Bahru)
No matter which store you bought it, it always taste better than the one sold in Singapore.

Rice Dumpling

Its time of the year again.
Rice dumpling can be seen anywhere nowadays.
This year i did not take part in the rice dumpling making session, but still i want to share my mum's product :)
With all my favourite ingredient; salted egg yolk, mushroom, chestnut and pork, a Hokkien rice dumpling is completed.
I find that the most important step in making rice dumpling lies on the pre-frying of the rice and meat. The marinating of the meat must be just nice and it could be just abit more salty to complement the tasteless rice.

After eating a certain amount of rice dumplings, the best way to cleanse your stomach abit is to eat with plain porridge. For those who still cant resist eating can try this!

Amazing Thailand 2010 - Food version Two

It has been quite a while, busy with work. Been wanted to post some photos for this restaurant that i have been to, during my Bangkok trip early this year. Well, hope this place is not badly affected by the political issue lately.

Joe Louis, traditional Thai puppet theatre located at Suan Lam night market at Lumpini. If you love puppet shows and want to capture the intricate movements and fascinating storyline which was once awarded best traditional puppet show at the International Puppet Festival, be sure to check out the timing of the show at the theatre.

The restaurant is just beside the theatre, which serves traditional Thai food. It is packed with different groups of diners, and of course mainly tourists.

I will always order Phai Thai in any Thai restaurant.  
Much, much better than any of the Phai Thai i had in Singapore. Fried with simple ingredients like bean sprout, egg and chicken meat. The wetness of the Kway Teow and the garlic taste just nice.

(Big Head) Prawn Tom Yam Gong
Prawns are very fresh and most importantly, the broth is very tasty. It is not just the usual plain tom yam soup base, it probably have been simmered with the prawn and fish bone.

Glass noodle seafood salad
I like the sharp taste of the sour and spicy of it. The chef has grasped the extent of both flavors to the right level.
