Maxwell Food Centre // Tsujiri // Dulcet and Studio

hey ;))

Maxwell Food Centre



Met Jasper after 1 million and 1 years for dinner and catch up, and we went Maxwell Food Centre for dinner. Since it was a Tuesday night, there wasn't alot of people there, which was good since it'll be really hard for us to chope a table. But anyway, I've never been there before so that was my virgin experience there! Heard that there were many food there which were highly recommended by the media, like wanton mee, ohlua jian (fried oyster) etc.

Basically, we just got wanton mee and ohlua jian only. I got the spinach noodles one, which was REALLY cool--green noodles and you can't exactly taste the spinach flavour! But IMO it taste like normal wanton mee, which I don't particularly have to go there just to eat their wanton mee ._.

For the ohlua jian, I. WAS. DISAPPOINTED?! It was said to be one of the top 10 ohlua jian in Singapore, and it's around $5. So anyway, the oysters were still cold, and some parts of the egg became cold too cause of the cold oysters. Isn't it just weird??? I was so sad at how bad the oysters were :'((( I feel so so cheated!! Never going back there to eat again >:(

Tsujiri @ 100am





We needed dessert therapy from our horrible ohlua jian experience previously, so we walked to Tsujiri at 100am for matcha desserts :))) Got the Shiratama Parfait for $7.80 with mochi inside.

Actually I realised I'm not a fan of mochi especially when its just plain, but the matcha ice cream was GOOOOOOD. One of the better ice creams I'm ever had, so guess it's really worth it!! And I loveeee the red bean.

We also got the O-maccha roll cake with the cream and all, HOMAIGAWD. FREAKIN' GOOD.

This is their menu :)) I think all the prices at the outlets are the same.



Dulcet and Studio @ Liang Court

 

Since there was still time before going home, we headed to Dulcet and Studio to try their chiffon cake, which is said to be 'One of the best in Singapore'. The price wasn't that cheap too, so we just shared a slice of Orange Peel Chiffon Cake for $7.00. (no GST/service charge!) There were other flavours too, like matcha, chocolate, peach etc. They also sold eclairs and cream puffs there which were OVERPRICED. :(  

It's legit one of the best chiffon cake I've ever eaten. <3 It's really really REALLLLLYYY soft and moist. Wa thinking about it I can drool sia!!! If only I can bake chiffon cakes :( Haven't tried baking one yet but I'm really lazy and my baking skills are rusty so quite sure I'll be wasting ingredients making a chiffon cake HAHA.



They also sold quite alot of other food, like cafe style, including pastas! Should have just went there directly to eat :( Travelling was so annoying, but for good food I will not complain!! :))

So yes, definitely going back to Tsujiri and Dulcet and Studio to try other stuff that they have, and no NEVER going back to Maxwell food centre again :((

Tian Kee & Co

hey ;)



After incessant cake cravings and posts from satay onto our whatsapp group chat, we decided to go to Tian Kee & Co to try their desserts + brunch ;) MINUS CALLY cos she burden don't wanna come :( But yala we really missed her she should have came!!!

Anyway, the nearest MRT station is Mountbatten, and its just a 3 min walk from the MRT, which is REALLY near. So we actually had quite high hopes on the place--airconditioned, 'atas', furnished with a theme etc. BUT NO. It's actually like a super old shophouse, turned cafe. Sounds old? BUT NO IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE COOL. We reached too early since they opened at 12pm, so we had to wait for the shop to actually open. HAHA. Too excited for food alr LOL And since it was a Thurs morning, there weren't alot of people at the shop so we didn't have to queue, and the food was quite fast! :P



[caption id="attachment_894" align="aligncenter" width="660"] back of the shop-- went there to hobo cause we were too early ._.[/caption]









The shop actually had a rustic feel to it, which is quite nostalgic :') especially for the 90's and below kids <3

Their food's actually not quite expensive, for their brunch/breakfast, the most expensive food was probably $14.90? And there is no add on GST/service charge so the price is nett ;)) YAYZ.

So we ordered a Full day breakfast meal and a Tian Kee Eggs Royale (which had smoked salmon!), and there was a side salad each. Also got a cup of Mr Brown (kopi) with bandung and Pink Lady (bandung). OK. The Mr Brown with bandung sounds weird right? And IMO initially it tastes weird. BUT IT IS ACTUALLY DAMN GOOD AFTER A WHILE. It's like coffee infused with bandung taste <3 Definitely should try it!!!

[caption id="attachment_888" align="aligncenter" width="660"] $6 for bandung; $6.50 for kopi+rose syrup[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_900" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Full day breakfast and Tian Kee Eggs Royale -- $14.90 each[/caption]



Caught up on alot of stuff--our lives, other people... but actually most of the time we were just spazzing. About what? ANDIE CHEN AND JESSICIA LIU WERE THERE. PUTTING MAKEUP. LIKE OMG??? OMGOMGOMG HAHAHAH. And we were contemplating whether we should take a photo with them but in the end we didn't cause we weren't really fans of them HAHAHA. Sorry guys x) But Jessicia Liu is really pretty!!! HAHA but we sneakily took a selfie with them in the background HAHAHAHAHHA

[caption id="attachment_905" align="aligncenter" width="660"] One of our stalker photos HAHA[/caption]

OK anyway, the Tian Kee Eggs Royale TASTED AMAZING. Even though its not eggs benedict, and the sauce was supposed to be cheese sauce but it tasted more like thousand island to me, IT WAS FREAKING GOOD. Basically it was 2 muffins faced up, each with smoked salmon, sunny side up egg and 'cheese sauce'. THE SAUCE IS ACTUALLY SINFUL. BUT WHO THE HELL CARES??? Food is good when eaten together with no worries ;)

And the all day breakfast was ALSO REALLY GOOD. AIYA Basically just come and try!!! TEHEE.

They also sell wraps and soup, which looked soooooo good on the menu, but we were quite full already so let's just leave it for next time! Oh alot of people ordered the pumpkin cheese soup which was $8.90 so I think it was good??? Not sure but I'll definitely try it next time!!

Next was the main course: CAKES (kidding HAHA)

Actually we wanted to get this cheesecake that looked like paddle pop. Called rainbow cheesecake and it really looked AMAZING. But reviews all said that it was just a normal cheesecake so we didn't order it :( Actually we wanted to order it but after 2 cakes we were actually full omg.

We ordered the Ugly Nutella Cake (HAHA I LIKE THE NAME COS IT'S REALLY UGLY) and Caramel cheesecake, @ $6.50 each! OMG IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. (especially if you like cheesecake!)

[caption id="attachment_899" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Ugly Nutella cake and Caramel Cheesecake[/caption]

IMO the ugly nutella cake was really good initially, with oreo crust below it. But after a while I got quite sick of the top part, which didn't have a strong flavour, like meringue with cocoa powder? Actually I'm also not sure, but STILL DAMN GOOD LA. Just try it!!!

I wanted to try the yuan yang cheesecake but clearly we were too full so IT'S GONNA BE LEFT FOR THE NEXT TIME I'M THERE!!! HEHE

Continued sitting there and chatting for a really really long time (actually we just wanted to watch them do their filming) but they left in the end :( Maybe their filming was at another place??? HAHA But still so happy to see actors and actresses!!!

But anyway, their food is actually not that expensive, just no usual fries or anything HAHA! Will definitely come back again to try other stuff, and their cakes!!!!!!

Sigh I miss baking :((( But there's no point in me baking cause I'll be the only one finishing it and I'll feel so sick of it SIAN. OHWELLZ. I'll bake again when I have the time!!! ;))) Oh if you need any info on how to get there can ask me!

AND it's usually closed on Mondays so don't ever appear on Mondays!!!

Suntec // Soup Spoon // Patisserie G // Subway

hey ;)



Since our dear Laura's birthday is coming, we've decided to celebrate her birthday a little eariler this year, since most of us might be busy and it'll be quite hard to meet up :(

Since we decided on Patisserie G @ Millenia Walk (Laura's suggestion), we went there early to make reservations, but actually there was NO ONE WHEN WE WENT THERE (at 6.30pm) LOL.

Me and Shihui met really early to do her card and get her presents, and so we took random selfies everywhere we went since we really didn't have much to do.

[caption id="attachment_884" align="aligncenter" width="660"] chiobuzxc call 9800 1111 (kidding don't call idk who is this)[/caption]



And we came across Boost which had a promotion so we got our drinks here:







Continued walking around and found these beanies/hats ;)

[caption id="attachment_869" align="aligncenter" width="660"] THIS BEANIE FROM HnM IS FREAKING COOL HAHAHA[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_882" align="aligncenter" width="660"] and so we started trying to be step[/caption]



The Soup Spoon



This is my favourite food of all, SOUP. It's not that cheap but I can really get full with the regular bowl of soup, and I always get pumpkin soup. So today, we've decided to get a different one for a change ;) AKA SG meat ragbowl HAHA. It's quite ex, around $8.40 for a bowl of regular soup, but it was REALLY GOOD. There was macaroni inside, and meat, and vegetables. AHHHHH we weren't quite hungry so that bowl hit the right spot <3

Patisserie G

[caption id="attachment_870" align="aligncenter" width="660"] waiting for burden LAURA[/caption]



Basically it's a desserts shop, which has a brunch menu by 4pm. (around cafe price aI guess? ~$15!) But since we went during dinner, there were only desserts :( We got the Au Citron Tart, Earl Grey chocolate cake and Raisins Cheesecake. ALL OF THEM WERE JUST SO GOOD. (But just saying, it's a lil' overpriced ;) ) On average the cakes were around $8 each? But IT IS STILL SO GOOD. But sharing the cake is good ;))

[caption id="attachment_876" align="aligncenter" width="660"] who did the best selfie???[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_871" align="aligncenter" width="660"] ???[/caption]

Clearly we couldn't be full with just a few slices of cake, so we went to subway for dinner ;) The last time we went to Millenia Walk's subway was probably in 2014 before As, when we were still fretting about exams and A levels. But now, we are just FREEEEEE. What we are probably fretting now would be OG chalet HAHA.

[caption id="attachment_878" align="aligncenter" width="660"] fretting for og chalet, maybe[/caption]



Really really hope OG chalet would work out fine ;) Cause there'll definitely be people backing out at the last min, which is like, so how are we gonna split the cost? SIANZ. But we'll make sure everyone won't pay alot for the hotel x) If not it won't be fair, right! AND we are gonna make sure it'll be fun ;) FOR 1 NIGHT!!!! <3

But we had a really mad catchup on all the random things in our life, which was really interesting/funny. INCLUDING ALL THE GOSSIPS ;) HAHA. Really missed them so much, I missed school when you can actually meet them every single day and talk nonsense. Maybe we'll be in the same school in uni and even if we're not, we will still talk nonsense together <3

YAYZ. Sigh can't believe how time passes so quickly, and 2 years of JC has passed, and LAURA TAN IS GONNA BE 20?!?! AHAHAH it's ok she's still not 20 yet so there's still a few days left to be a TEEN!!!! <3

[caption id="attachment_868" align="aligncenter" width="660"] the road home was effing creepy ._.[/caption]

And today I'm being a guai kid 0:) (actually I'm always guai just saying)

LOR MEE



ROJAK

Straits Quay



Needed aircon really badly since the weather WAS JUST EFFIN HOT, so we went to Straits Quay to take photos and shop. Since it's near a pier/sea there's actually ALOT of boats here, im sure they're all private yatches. I AM SO JEALOUS I ALSO WANT A YATCH FOR MYSELF TOO. BUT BO LUI. Next time!!!! But right now let me just fake own them ❤️ Actually though the shops there sold really expensive stuff, there was this mini flea market on the 2nd floor and several outlet stores, so ofc I wouldn't miss them 😉 I even got a bag for real cheap from everlast. Wanted a Nike bag but I guess the Everlast one was ALOT CHEAPER and more worth it!





























Oh, and the freaking good cinnamon bread I said in my eariler post? YOU CAN GET IT HERE. It's not cheap but I heard the bakery is quite famous for their bread (duh if not what's a bakery for).







This is the freaking good cinnamon bread







bought 5 buns in total: 2 cinnamon, 1 chocolate, and 1 blueberry, to try 😋





Gurney Plaza, Old Chow Thye
