[🇸🇬BAGELS] - 📍Two Men Bagel House

Missing SG’s ! A bit sinful but worth every calorie! Their coffee is fire too!

[Michelin Guide Awarded] -📍Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang

is known for “The World’s First Michelin Rated Nasi Lemak Hawker”. Consecutive years Michelin Guide awarded from 2021 to 2023!

I like their Indonesian-style grilled chicken nasi lemak. Their chicken is generously huge and tender! Subsequently impressed by their famous Taliwang sauce from Lombok Indonesia! (Been eating here quite a few times for lunch during working days!)

What we ordered:

*Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang* ($7.90)
- My top choice. Their Taliwang sauce adds flavour that makes this dish special. The sauce is somewhat a mixture of a tad sweet and moderately spicy.

*Nasi Lemak Ayam Balado* ($7.90)
- 1st runner-up. Had a small bite from my gorgeous/bitchy colleague. To my surprise, the taste of this sambal is sour and spicy which complements so well! I think this is my colleague’s fave!

*Nasi Lemak Cabe Ijo* ($7.90)
- sambal that that consists of green chili. This may be my least favourite. The green chili didn’t give a strong flavour that makes it standout. I have to eat with the normal sambal to achieve the taste to my liking.

*Fillet Set* ($6.50)
- didn’t had a chance to try this but can be an additional option to others.

For non-spicy foodies, you can ask the staff to exclude sambal on your chicken which from our experience they paused in confusion if they heard wrongly or not. 😅

They do have a lot of outlets that is likely convenient for you! Do give it a try and interested to know what you like.

[Invite Tasting Series] Part 2 - 📍Petit Fangko

Checkout Part 1 previous post for reel. Part 2 for mere snaps.

is located at Margaret Market near Queenstown MRT. Don’t get confused as this is their second outlet just 4 months new! Their main outlet is in Clarke Quay which is .

What we ordered:

- SMASHED CHICKEN w/ BLUE PEA RICE ($9.5)
- SMASHED CHICKEN w/ INDOMEE ($9.5)
- AVOCADO COFFEE ($8.8)
- BUTTERFLY LYCHEE SODA ($7)
- FANGKO MELAKA COFFEE ($6 / $11)

Smashed Chicken is a good pair either the blue pea rice or their indomee! The spicier the better so are you up to challenge yourself for their spiciness level up to level 21?! For this visit I tried level 1 and 3. Level 1 taste-wise was just literally a tinge of spice while level 3 I can feel the burning sensation but still tolerable…. as long as I got my drinks. 😅

For coffee lovers, I highly recommend their Fangko Melaka Coffee! Love at first sip! If you are the hybrid type, their Avocado Coffee is exceptionally creamy and smooth!

For non-coffee drinkers, their Butterfly Lychee Soda is the drink for you. Served generous lychees and overall will help you refresh your sanity due to their fiery hot chilis!

Can’t wait to share and re-visit with my friends / food buddies!

Thank you Amy / for the warm invite!

[JB Series] - 📍Nasi Ayam Kee Chup

With no further introduction, Nasi Ayam Kee Chup attract both locals and tourists in Johor Bahru.

I would suggest to bookmark this as your first stop. Not a shocker to see a long queue, so be mentally and physically prepared. I heard that it will be completely sold out by 2 to 3pm. Wouldn’t wanna waste your journey for nothing so do keep that in mind.

What we ordered:

NASI AYAM SA PINGGAN (RM 12 / 3.45 SGD)
- no further description it is damn good and worth the wait. Just go to JB, queue, eat and enjoy!

SIRAP LIMAU (RM 2.5 / 0.70 SGD)
- would suggest this refreshing drink specially during a hot weather. Consists of red syrup and lime. It was so good that we had to order additional for dabao!

Shoutout to my friend Jiji for the company and introducing this to me! Definitely coming back when I go JB again!

Slowly posting one of my many other backlogs! 😅

📍Banh Mi Sai Gon

Been donkey’s years that I wanted to try and it certainly didn’t disappoint!

Banh Mi Saigon can be located at Blk 505 which is 2 bus stops away from Ang Mo Kio MRT exit A. You can take either 50, 159 or 265.

What we ordered:

🔹 Special Great Banh Mi Dac Biet (7.90 sgd)
🔹Grilled Meat Pork Rolls Banh Mi (8.90 sgd)
🔹Vietnamese Iced Milk Coffee (4.50 sgd)

Surprised how the exterior gives you a good ASMR crunch! While bread is soft with generous amount of fillings! Plus points for coriander lovers like me! 😏

Will certainly revisit! I guess the only downside is the accessibility. You still have to take bus after reaching AMK station.

[Invite Tasting series] - 📍 Ameising La Volta

Yet again, my friends and I had an “Ameising” time at .la.volta ! This time we are trying out their new limited special of MS9+ Wagyu Hayashi Lasagnotte!

Their MS9+ Wagyu Hayashi Lasagnotte (39 sgd) meat was undeniably tender and was amused trying one hell of a long huge sheet of pasta. I love the semi-glazed sauce which was creamy with a tinge of sweetness! I would recommend for a better experience to eat straight away once freshly served. We also tried their French Fries w/ Wagyu Fat (13 sgd)! Fries were crisp to perfection, drizzled with wagyu fat and don’ forget to dip with their Salted Lemon Mayo which for me was the cherry on top!

Of course 1 plate is never enough for 3 pax! We ordered additional dishes to get our pasta cravings fixed!

🔹Japanese Clams & Mushroom Sakamushi (20 sgd)
- This pasta is quite refreshing for me. I can’t stop eating the clams and Sakamushi mushroom soaking together with the pasta sauce! Linguine pasta was recommended!

🔹Cheese Creamy Butter Chicken (22 sgd)
- I think this is one of my fave pasta. Love the cheesy creamy sauce plus they serve 3 meaty chicken sticks! Fettuccine pasta was recommended!

Thank you once again .la.volta for the invite! Do checkout their daily deals and do visit them at 51 Bras Basah Rd, #01-01 Lazada One near Bras Basah MRT Exit E!

Part 2 - 📍Queic by Olivia

This is a food version of I finally found “the one” for the perfect cheesecake that we all thought never existed. 😅

I was blown away when I had my first bite of their Olivia Signature Cheesecake (15 sgd). The texture was so soft and creamy with a semi-solid crust base. Sweetness was neutrally balanced and perfect with coffee! Although, I would recommend 1 slice for sharing and try out their other cheesecakes!

I have zero knowledge any type of cheese, but I chose Gruyère Cheesecake Board(15 sgd) because how cute it physically looks! I can imagine these are the cheese that Jerry keep on stealing (In reference to cartoon show, Tom & Jerry). Gruyère is a Swiss-type / Alpine cheese. It was very salty (‘cause I was curious how it taste like) which the staff recommends to pair it with jam that would counteract the saltiness. Loved it and t was a perfect pair!

[Food tasting] - 📍Cakesomarvellous

is a home-based business started 2021 wherein they specialised in baking Basque Burnt Cheesecakes and Tiramisus!

They generously sent me 2 of their best sellers and I thought of sharing it to my colleagues so we all can get fat together!

🔹Creamy Basque Burnt Cheesecake (M) - 29 sgd
- Love at first bite! It was a unanimous decision that everyone enjoyed and loved it! Texture was soft and creamy inside while the base was mildly firm which is a good thing as I like cheesecakes that have soft crusts!

🔹Premium Tiramisu w/ Raw Eggs (M) - 40.90 sgd
- Upon opening the cover, I can already smell the strong scent of alcohol! The type of alcohol used is VSOP and they specifically stated on their website description “with loads of VSOP”. Giving you a heads up on what to expect so you won’t be surprised! I like the concentrated creamy texture of mascarpone cheese that compliments well with the alcohol and the overall cake! For alcohol drinkers, confirm y’all would like this! For non-alcohol drinkers, you may not fancy the strong alcohol taste but fret not as you can ask for a special customisation for the amount of alcohol they will mix in!

Definitely a gem! I’ll keep in touch for our next purchase! Eyeing on Molten Basque Burnt Cheesecake!

Do checkout their website as they cater different flavours and sizes which have different pricing as well! They offer both door-to-door delivery and pick-up.

Thank you for the invite and sending these over to my workplace!

Checkout my part 1 reel for more details about their awesome grilled fish!

Thanks again, and !

[NEW OUTLET] - 📍Twyst Pasta

Pasta lovers c’mon out! I have not known anyone who despise pastas. With my indecisiveness I had a tough time choosing from tomato or white based sauce! In the end, the latter wins!

Twyst Pasta recently opened their new outlet at Metropolis near Buona Vista MRT. They are known for their “Build your own pasta”. Basically, letting you choose your own fate for having a pasta-licious meal!

Prices are budget friendly and their servings are truly generous. Here’s What we ordered:
🔹Creamy Alfredo (10.9 sgd)
🔹Gochujang (10.9 sgd)
🔹Aglio Olio (9.9 sgd)
🔹Mac and Cheese (7.5 sgd)
🔹Ham and Cheese Panini (4.9 sgd)
🔹Truffle Fries (6.5 sgd)

I tried Creamy Alfredo w/ Smoked Duck which it did not disappoint the creamy flavour together with my chosen penne pasta served al dente. The amount of their Truffle Fries is good for 3-5 pax! Mac and Cheese was superb! I took a bite of their panini from my colleague and it was a delight pair with their Iced White coffee!

Overall, truly a gem that I had a great time with good company and amazing food! Definitely coming back to try their tomato based pasta and also their Gochujang! I would like to thank my dear colleagues for joining me for lunch despite the 8km distance from our workplace!

Do come and visit ! Thank you for the invite !
