having had a pretty good meal the last time i was there, i was lured into returning to south union park because they'd introduced a weekday set lunch. at $18 for two courses and $21 for three, it seemed to be value for money.

i was there at almost two in the afternoon, and the place was empty save for one other table. there were two choices for each course, but it was an easy decision. to start i got the smoked tomato soup. it came piping hot and was utterly delicious. it was tangy, singing of tomato; the perfect start to a meal. this set the tone for the meal, and i was excited about the following courses.

for mains, it was a choice between fried chicken burger with cajun fries and a beef brisket cavetelli. they had me at beef brisket- of course i got the pasta. like the tomato soup, it came piping hot. the first thing that hit me once i was served was the hit of parmesan- and that sent my mouth watering. i was expecting it to be more pasta than meat, as with most pasta dishes. this one, however, surprised me with its equal proportion of beef and pasta, so each bite i took was perfectly balanced.

it was such a generous portion that i was already satiated by the time i was done with half the plate, but i couldn't stop eating until i'd cleaned the plate. and that, i think, is the biggest compliment i could give. it was so good- i loved the bite of the al dente, handmade cavatelli, how tender the shredded beef was, and that punchy sauce.

i was already extremely full by the time i finished the pasta, but there was still dessert, and of course, i willingly stretched my stomach for that. i picked the banana bread over the compressed fruit medley, because BANANA BREAD. it came with salted caramel ice-cream, but i requested for it to come without. they meant it when they said warm banana bread- it was indeed toasty and warm. not the most spectacular banana bread, but i like banana bread in almost all forms, and it was a serviceable one, especially since it came deliciously warm. paired with the caramelised banana and buttery crumble, i had no problems wiping the plate clean. even the coffee that they served was no afterthought- it was aromatic and paired really well with dessert.

i loved how they'd put so much thought into each course. everything was obviously made with care. i'd come back in a heartbeat just for the beef brisket cavatelli. highly recommended.

i've heard so much about fatcat ice cream bar and have wanted to try it for so long. glad that the opportunity finally presented itself.

we were there on a weeknight. i was somehow expecting it to be crowded, but thankfully it wasn't. seating was limited, but we managed to get a table for four. spent a while paging through their menu- i wanted to try one of their plated desserts at first, but none caught my attention, so we ended up getting two waffles to share.

of course we had to have their signature charcoal waffles (even though i know the charcoal doesn't actually add any flavour), adding $1 for the salted egg sauce. the other waffle we got was the original brown butter one. we spent a while faffing about trying to decide what ice-cream flavour to get. my mum isn't the most adventurous person, so my sister and i were wary about getting the more out-there flavours for fear that she wouldn't eat it. i tried the butter beer because it sounded interesting, but it wasn't something that i would want to keep eating. so we stuck to the safer choices- strawberry cheesecake and blackforest (which was really more chocolate).

the waffles were served a while later. sadly the brown butter one came with chocolate sauce drizzled all over- one of my pet peeves, so i only ate a bit of that. the waffle's texture wasn't the kind i'm fond of- a bit too airy and crisp.

the charcoal one suffered the same fate. the salted egg yolk sauce saved the day, though. i found myself dunking bites of the waffle into the salted egg yolk sauce, which was more savoury than sweet.

not sure if i'll make a special trip back for their waffles. perhaps for their plated desserts, though.

~~wanted~~ needed some dessert after dinner in the city hall area, and after googling i found twenty grammes, which suited our purposes nicely. made our way over, found the place to be quite filled (it was saturday night, after all) but we managed to snag a table. we got one of the small round tables- i mean it when i say small- it was a squeeze even to put all the things we ordered. thankfully there were only three of us.

we got the belgian waffle with a single scoop of salted caramel ice-cream ($9.50) and a charcoal waffle with egg yolk sauce ($8.50) to share. as expected the charcoal waffle was really more for show than flavour, but interestingly enough there was actually a difference between the regular waffle and the charcoal one. i found the charcoal one just slightly more crisp, but it lacked the fragrance of the regular one. for some reason, though, the charcoal one went better with the salted egg yolk sauce- the regular one was just a little too sweet to be matched with the sauce. also would've wished the salted egg sauce to have more salted egg flavour, but it wasn't too bad. still, though, i would much prefer the regular waffle (it's not a belgian waffle, but it's okay since i don't like belgian waffle anyway).

i also got a flat white ($5) to go along with the waffles, but it wasn't the type i like- not enough body and way too milky.

not a bad place overall to get desserts, but it got a bit crowded and loud as the night wore on. still, for waffles, my favourite remains as creamier.

i've been to hoshino coffee at its first outlet at plaza singapura multiple times. i've loved their soufflé pancakes ever since i had it the first time, which was probably two years ago. at every single visit, i found that standards have been kept consistent. the 25 minute wait has also stayed largely the same, but i guess awesome pancakes are worth the wait.

X and i wanted a little more food after dinner at the betterfield, and were initially headed to clinton st. baking company (i was somehow craving their thick, fluffy pancakes). we called ahead to ask when was their last order timing, were told that it was nine. we made it there on the dot, but they told us the kitchen was closed, wasting our trip there. so hoshino coffee came to mind- soufflé pancakes are quite a good substitute, anyway.

headed over and quickly ordered the double pancake soufflé style ($12), with an extra $1.20 for matcha softee.

the service there was eye openingly bad, though. we were seated at a corner, and were made to feel completely invisible. i had to ask for water twice before we finally got it (after a really long wait). even then, the waitress plonked it down onto our table wordlessly and unsmilingly. that would've been the end of it, but our pancakes arrived without the softee we'd ordered. upon asking, we were told that it was unavailable (!), but we'd already been served the bill charging us for it. the waiter who served us scurried off after saying that it was unavailable, and we were left dumbstruck. X went over to the counter to ask if we could have the vanilla softee instead, and it was then that she found out that the matcha softee was, in fact, available.

thankfully, the pancakes made up for it. it was just as delicious as i remembered it to be. the melty knob of cream-lookalike perched atop the pancakes was actually whipped butter. it was salty, buttery and awesome (and i ate it all).

atrocious service like that makes me wonder why we have to pay service charge. if they don't want to serve us water, i'm perfectly fine with getting it myself- it'd be more efficient, for one. this is really one of my pet peeves- having to pay for service even when it's crap. i still love the pancakes, but i'll probably not go back to the capitol piazza outlet for it.

i was super excited to hear about kyushu pancake opening in singapore, even though i've never tried it in japan. but because, KYUSHU + PANCAKE! plus, they use some sort of special blend flour for their pancakes- seven grains, according to their menu.

made a reservation for a sunday lunch via email (i love it when i don't have to call). the place didn't look that full when we reached, but i was glad to have reservations after seeing people without get turned away. apparently all the empty tables were reserved! they even had a waitress stationed front of house to allocate people their tables. when we were ordering at the counter, i witnessed a couple come in and take a seat at an empty table, only to be chased away by the waitress who was halfway through taking our orders. granted, the place wasn't that big, so that probably also accounted for the full house situation.

i wanted something savoury, so i immediately zeroed in on the eggs benedict ($18), which came with their famous pancakes. my sister was oscillating between the $17 great carnival hot dog ("but it comes with fries and i don't want fries!") and karaage chicken waffle ($19). eventually she decided to ask if the fries could be replaced by something else- if not, she'd go for the karaage chicken waffle. they didn't allow any replacement, so she settled for the chicken. being greedy, we ordered the sampler platter ($15) to try as well.

(the woman taking our order thought we were done when i placed the order for two items- she was already telling me the total bill. sorry, we're gluttons.) we were warned that waiting time for the food would be about 20-30 minutes, which i was okay with since it was a leisurely sunday lunch. (and at least they bothered to give us a heads up.) the food came much quicker than we expected, though!

the first to arrive was the sampler platter. being greedy and ordering it was perhaps one of the best things we ever did, because the french toast on the platter turned out to be the best thing we had that day. the platter came with pancakes, waffles and french toast (basically all the carb variations they have on their menu) along with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chardonnay wildflower honey and jam. i ate the french toast first and was blown away- it was soft, just sweet enough, and didn't even need any accompaniments. sadly, couldn't say the same about the pancakes and waffles. i was envisioning something akin to hoshino's soufflé pancakes (thick, fluffy and fragrant) but this was nothing like it. didn't take to the dry, hollow waffles as well. they tasted better paired with the jam, but i'm not really a jam eater (give me plain pancakes, any day). maybe the reason why the pancakes and waffles tasted so... light... was because they were meant to be a vehicle for the delicious jam...?

my eggs benedict came shortly after, followed by the karaage chicken waffle. liked that everything was served at around the same time- none of that here's my food but yours is not here dilemma. i'd asked for the hollandaise sauce to be served on the side (to the confusion of the waitress), so i had a little pot of the sauce instead of it being poured over. the eggs benedict came with a single poached egg, asparagus, tomato, bacon, a stack of three pancakes, and a side salad. it tasted kind of as expected, i guess. the pancakes were the same ones as in the platter, and they did work slightly better paired with the egg, but three still proved to be too many, and i didn't finish them.

maybe it's because it's been a long while since i've had fried chicken, but i really liked the karaage chicken (not so much the waffle). it was crispy, not oily (this sounds slightly delusional) and when my sister offered me another bite, i gladly took it. portions were pretty generous, too- the chicken spanned the entire dimension of the waffle!

given that they charge for service, service was pretty much nonexistent. when we were ordering at the counter, i'd requested for water. however, it didn't come until they served water to another table, happened to glance over, notice that we didn't have water and came over to ask if we wanted water (!). granted, the place is pretty new, so hiccups like these are perhaps to be expected. i'd come back (armed with a reservation) if i have a craving for french toast, but for the waffles and pancakes? nah.

there is seriously a tart craze going around- first cheese tarts, and now egg tarts. while i'm not about to queue two to three hours for cheese tarts (i have better things to do) i didn't mind braving the queue for egg tarts, given that it was reportedly about half an hour. especially for awesome egg tarts! these are the ones that C hand carries back from hong kong for me, so i was interested to see if they were as good as those she brought back.

the queue looked deceptively short when i first reached takashimaya's basement, but i knew better. poked my head around and saw that it looked short only because it was separated into sections so as not to disrupt traffic. still, it wasn't too bad, though, so i joined it. time actually passed fairly quickly because... i was entertained by people who thought that the queue ended there, but then were taken aback when they were notified by a staff member posted there to join the queue behind. (and then there were people who got curious because of the snaking queue, and poked their head around wondering what it was for.)

the system was, thankfully, a pretty efficient one. the staff posted at the sectioned off part also did double duty as order taker. payment would be made later along the queue (cash only- which i thankfully had) with collection after that.

i spent the time being fascinated by them making egg tarts. they were making them right on the spot- filling the tarts with egg mixture, baking them, and taking them out of the tart case. (i never knew that the tarts weren't baked with the disposable aluminium casing- they had to take them out of the baking cases and then put them into the aluminium casing. all while piping hot.) they worked really quickly and efficiently- pretty impressive.

the tarts were literally fresh out of the oven when i got my hands on them, but i didn't have time to eat it on the spot. i brought it home and heated it up in the toaster later that evening, and it was just as good as the ones C brought back! i especially love the tart base- buttery, slightly milky, and crisp. totally worth the queue, given that i only waited slightly more than half an hour. (then again i went at an off peak timing- and was still surprised by the number of people there. don't people have to work?! okay, i know the same could be said of me.)

not much of an ambience to speak of- located just at a open space right outside some retail shops, and simply decorated. if i'm not wrong, i think that space used to be fruit paradise- i remember eating there several years ago (and not liking it much).

we were there after an early dinner, so the place wasn't that crowded. quickly decided on the injeolmi ($12.90). self service only- order at the counter, and collect it at the pick up counter. water was provided, self service as well. we barely had to wait- we'd just placed our orders and were expecting to wait for a while, but our bingsu was ready for collection very quickly.

came with a variety of nuts- cashews, almond flakes and almonds. yum! it was dusted with a generous layer of soybean powder as well. also loved the big mochi pieces on top (i'm just a sucker for mochi) and the hidden mochi bits. excellent variety of textures, though i would've loved more mochi (yeah, i'm just a sucker for mochi). based on that alone, i would still pick bing go jung as my favourite. but still, this comes a close second (and at a more central location to boot). definitely better than nunsongyee, at any rate.

wanted bingsu after dinner. we were initially intending to go to snowy village, which i've been to a number of times, but not X. however, it seems that they'd closed down- the café was closed, even though it was within their stated opening hours. so, change of plans. X suggested bing go jung, which she liked quite a lot, so we headed over.

i've known of its existence, but never thought of going, because it'd never rated that highly on bingsu lists online. then again... most people also rate nunsongyee highly, but both X and i aren't impressed- way too overpriced, and where are the toppings?! i guess we're the types who are more into the toppings than the actual ice itself. so that's probably why i really liked bing go jung- they were generous with the toppings, perhaps even overly so.

we were deciding between the injeolmi bingsu and the red bean (both $11)... and decided to stick to our usual injeolmi with additional red bean for an extra $1. i was feeling greedy so we also got the hotteok waffle ($5) to share.

as mentioned, i loved the generosity of toppings. it was a huge bowl, and we quite literally struggled to finish it. it was FULL of mochi bits, which i love. in fact, we ended up with more mochi bits than ice- always a happy problem.

X didn't like the hotteok waffle, but i did. i particularly liked its chewy, mochi-like texture and the fragrance of the cinnamon. i was initially wondering why the portion of the waffle was so small, but it packs a punch because of its mochi-like texture.

yum. one of my favourite bingsu places now. added bonus that it's so near my house- i simply walked home after that.

disclaimer: i'm very fond of swiss rolls (or any sort of rolls, for that matter- including peanut rolls, sushi rolls, burritos... the list goes on). so of course when i read about a café specialising in swiss rolls, i knew i had to go.

i actually went sometime last year, when they'd just opened. we came by just a little too late- it was a bit after nine, and they'd just sold out of their last piece of chocolate swiss roll. thankfully, though, the matcha ($5.90) and the plain ($4.90) were still available. they had an interesting range of teas available, and after smelling through all the samples, we decided on the pandan chiffon.

the cakes came simply plated on vintage looking plates- so pretty! for the portions, prices were steep, but it was so good i didn't care. good cakes are worth paying for!

the sponge was light and fluffy, and so was the cream. loved that it wasn't overpoweringly sweet (and it made me want to eat more). among the three of us, we shared two rolls, and quickly found that it wasn't enough... and so we ordered a third one. the tea, smelling lightly of pandan, went deliciously well with the rolls. yum!

i'm aiming to go back soon, for the nutella (!) and thai milk tea flavoured ones. it's a game of chance with the cakes though (which i suppose is part of the fun)- we enquired about availability, and it seems that going too early might mean that certain flavours wouldn't be ready. go too late, though, and it might just be sold out.

the first time i spotted five and dime was purely by chance. was on a bus heading to clarke quay, and spotted it because of how it stood out from the rest of the shops at night. it piqued my interest, but somehow i've never put it on my to-try list. after the gym that day, my friend suggested going there (since we had the luxury of being driven).

to be honest, based on online reviews, i was more excited by their desserts (particularly the golden custard lava cake) than their mains, but my friend who'd been there a few times, said their mains were pretty good. so we got a main each- the big brekkie ($22), mentaiko pasta ($18) and beef tataki rice ($20).

my friend swore by the mentaiko pasta, which she'd had a couple of times. while i found it yummy (it is mentaiko after all), i found the portion to be small for its price tag. the same sentiment applied for the other two mains. my beef tataki rice was... alright, but it's not something that i would pay $20 (before taxes) for, given the fact that it was only 120g of beef and an onsen egg (though admittedly well done) on rice. didn't finish the rice, because i was all out of beef and egg. also because i felt that the stickiness of japanese rice would've gone much better than the steamed rice they served.

so i found mains a slight letdown, given the prices they were charging. thankfully the golden custard lava cake ($12) kind of saved the day.

it came in a steamer basket, like those you'd find at a dim sum restaurant. really cute.

the moment we cut into it, the glorious golden custard oozed out. promising. and really, when you have an oozy lava cake, especially one that oozes salted egg custard, that basically already seals the deal. though, i would've liked the salted egg flavour to be more pronounced, since i'm a salted egg custard fiend. it was a pretty good lava cake, but i'm not sure it's a good salted egg lava cake, given the fact that i could barely discern the salted egg bit- maybe because the chocolate flavour was already so strong? it certainly was pretty, though.

doubt i'll be back, since it's so out of the way, and prices are on the high side for the quality and quantity of food served. still, the golden custard lava cake was worth a try, especially if you're into salted egg.

my friend was driving, and so, she suggested windowsill pies for dessert after dinner. having moved to upper thomson from jalan besar, it is hard to get to without a car, so that was why we quickly took the opportunity to go there. my friend had had it once, when they were still at jalan besar, while i hadn't (despite the fact that jalan besar is actually really convenient for me).

had some trouble finding the place. thought it would be located on the main stretch when we got there, but it wasn't. it was tucked into the back of a dubious looking small alley- we had our doubts that we were in the right place.

my friend commented that the place was smaller than the original one at jalan besar. it was pretty much empty- kind of worrying, given that it was a sunday night. the only other customer was a guy on a laptop. but okay, when we were about to leave, a few other people came in.

the pies available were all displayed at the counter. there were so many that it was hard to decide, so thankfully the girl at the counter was really knowledgeable about what was in each of the pies! it's awesome when the staff is well-informed about what they're selling. my friend went in wanting one of their classics, the grasshopper (mint and chocolate), but she got swayed by the sheer variety available. i was undecided between the hazelnut & ginger creme and honey macadamia at first, but when the girl mentioned that there was PEANUT BUTTER in the hazelnut pie, i was sold. my friend eventually decided on the yuzu, so we got both to share ($16 in total).

didn't regret choosing the hazelnut & ginger creme at all. it was made of ingredients that i am fond of (hazelnut parfait, with hidden dollops of peanut butter, and topped with bits of poached pear and ginger creme) so it was a no brainer that i'd like it. also liked that it wasn't sickly sweet. what i didn't like was the texture of the parfait- a bit too stiff (though maybe that's just a parfait thing) but flavours were spot on. the pie crust was the barely-there, more-biscuit-than-butter type, so attention is drawn more to the filling than the crust. quite different from tarte by cheryl koh.

the tangy sparkling yuzu pie was a great contrast to the hazelnut pie. loved the smooth and just-runny-enough yuzu curd. the white chocolate dollops on the top were just right to offset the tang of the yuzu, though my friend did find the yuzu to be on the sour side. we weren't expecting the hidden pop rocks at all, so it was quite a surprise (now i know why it's called sparkling yuzu).

had a pretty good experience at windowsill pies. makes me wonder why on earth i didn't make an effort to go try them when they were located at jalan besar. just because of the sheer remoteness of the place, we were briefly tempted to do a takeaway (HONEY MACADAMIA PIE!!!) but... we regained our senses and decided not to be greedy. hopefully i can come back soon to try their other flavours!

wanted some dessert after dinner, so we came by. had to queue for about fifteen minutes before getting a table.

spent some time deciding what cake to get. initially we only wanted to share one slice, but then got tempted by all the cakes that were available, so ended up deciding to get two to share instead. of course we had to have a crêpe cake- it was lady m, after all. the other choice was harder. it was a tossup between the gâteau aux marrons and banana mille feuille, which both looked interesting.
chose the chocolate mille crêpe ($9) and the banana mille feuille ($8.50) in the end.

the chocolate mille crêpe was awesome- fully understand why they're famous for their crêpe cakes. the first chocolate crêpe cake that i liked is from awfully chocolate, but this version is quite different from awfully chocolate's. this was creamier and smoother. still like awfully chocolate's, though- i guess it depends on which kind of texture i'm craving for. both are around the same price, but lady m has the added bonus of having the option of dining in, in a gorgeous space to boot.

the banana mille feuille was not as impressive. too much cream, though the cream was delicious. would've liked to have more sponge and banana instead of cream. the sponge was fluffy and awesome- found myself digging for it. probably just not my kind of thing, since i'm more of a cake than cream person.

already planning a return trip, to try more of their cakes! especially want to try the checkers, since i've tasted their sponge and know that it's good.

finally got to try two bakers- i've been meaning to for quite some time. was in the area, so we popped by. just in time, too, as they close early on mondays.

i was meaning to try their ondeh ondeh éclair, because 1. i love éclairs and 2. i love ondeh ondeh. sadly, though, it wasn't in the display case, and when we enquired about it, we were told that it'd been replaced by the chendol éclair.

since they were closing, they only had a limited number of bakes available. in fact, most items were out. but we were lucky- there was still one chendol éclair ($7.50) left! so we got that, and on the staff's recommendation, also got the last lemon tart ($7.50).

the chendol éclair was filled with coconut mascarpone cream, pandan jelly and gula melaka gel. the combination of flavours really reminded me of chendol. i loved the filling, but not so much the choux pastry, which wasn't as crisp or fragrant as i'd have liked.

the lemon tart was delicious as well. the pie shell itself was buttery yet light, breaking once my spoon cut into it. the lemon filling itself was delicious as well- oozy and tangy. i'm usually not a fan of sour desserts, but i enjoyed the lemon tart.

so glad i finally managed to try their bakes! will be back for more of their desserts.

haven't actually really been to city square mall before. we were hunting down some food for dinner after the gym. after doing a bit of exploring, chanced upon the restaurant, which looked promising. it was a sunday night, and the place was pretty packed. we just barely got seats, and pretty crap ones at that.

the menu was HUGE. i've never seen so many varieties of pancakes all jammed into one menu before. both savoury and sweet options were available for each type of pancake. there were so many choices (crepes, galettes, pannekoeks, pancakes etc.) that we were stumped. we ended up flipping through the menu for at least ten minutes (doesn't help that both of us are equally indecisive...)

ended up ordering the nice crepe ($14) and classic buckleberry ($13) as our mains. the food came after what seemed like quite a long wait (or maybe we were just hungry and impatient).

the nice crepe was generous with the chicken filling- looked like an entire piece of boneless chicken thigh. it also came filled with prawns, ham and cheese, with a mushroom cream sauce on the side. while the filling was tasty on its own, the crepe itself was a letdown. it was bland and limp. i gave up after a while and ended up just eating the filling on its own.

the classic buckleberry fared better. it came with fluffy blueberry pancakes, omelette and ham, with maple syrup served on the side. the blueberry pancakes were absolutely the star. we were pleasantly surprised to find that it even had cream cheese filling in the centre.

being greedy, of course we got dessert. just from glancing at the menu, we were tempted by the coconut and peach pancake stack ($12). because... coconut! the pancakes had the fragrance of the grated coconut, and were fluffy, just like the blueberry ones. they certainly do their namesake justice.

since we're going to be at city square every week now, it's highly likely that we'll be back to try their other stuff. just not the crepes. we had food envy spying on other tables' food, so that in itself is good motivation to return.

finally made it to sunday folks! it's been on my to-try list for ages now, simply because i love creamier's rendition of waffles. but sunday folks is just too inaccessible- all the way in the west. i'm rarely motivated to travel to the west, especially after graduating from university. so when i knew that i had to be at rochester mall, i jumped at the chance to finally head over to sunday folks.

it was a sunday night, but because we arrived at almost eight, we didn't have to queue for a table. the place was pretty packed though. and when we left, there was a queue.

we got two waffles to share ($9.90 each), because my friend wanted to try two flavours of the soft serve, while i wanted more waffles. so that worked out fine, because i could have more of my friend's waffle, while she could have most of my soft serve.

two flavours of the soft serve jumped out at us- the earl grey lavender and the sea salt gula melaka. didn't get any toppings, because the one we wanted (gula melaka mochi) was sold out. the two waffles came beautifully presented, with a generous swirl of soft serve on top. there was a cookie thoughtfully sandwiched between the soft serve and the waffle so the soft serve wouldn't make the waffle soggy. didn't really work though, because the soft serve melted very quickly.

i loved the waffle- exactly the same as creamier's. didn't really like the earl grey lavender soft serve though. it was way too perfumed. we both preferred the sea salt gula melaka, which was awesome- salty and sweet at the same time, with a strong gula melaka hit.

yum. i'll be back if i'm in the west.
