Say Cheeze Cake

Seafoodies February gathering @ Say Cheeze Cake.

fishy chose the set meal which came wif soup and salad and a drink so crabby could haf her iced lemon tea.

the salad was free flow from the salad bar which clammy went to get...



looks good eh? the round balls of potato looked like meatballs!

the soup dat came wif the set meal was mushroom cappaccino...



it looks so much like coffee dat fishy cant believe its a soup..



the soup was not bad.

i ordered the lobster bisque which i didnt manage to try the other time...



its pretty good! there are small cubes of prawn/lobster like bits.. quite nice. and the hay gor taste is strong. hehe.. i like~ the garlic bread dat came along wif it is very nice! its a thin slice of very well toasted bread so its really crispy and the garlic spread is very nice!

and since my previous experience with their salmon risotto which tasted like salmon baked rice was very good, i reordered it....



sadly today the salmon's doneness was different. its more cooked so its not as nice.

fishy chose the miso salmon....



which was ok but nothing impressive.

squiddy chose the tenderloin...



done medium rare....



it was EXTREMELY TENDER.. really very very tender... BUT extremely tasteless! cant taste the beef taste, not much taste from the sauce either. Its such a shame.. otherwise it would haf been a very good steak.

Willy Wonka Berry Tingles

Recommended to seafoodies the Willy Wonka Berry Tingles....



I-Shan was the one who kinda recommended this to me during the trip and i really like it! its frizzy!! A little bit like the coca cola sweet we buy from mamashops when we were really young!

Starburst

Fishy's specially requested starburst...



fishy told us its so chewy theres juice inside!



bluff one! duno haf loh! we realised the different bags have different levels of chewiness! Luckily i randomly picked a few different bags when i was there. But overall the seafoodies like it and found it very addictive. so much so we had to ask fishy to keep it and not leave it on the table. lol

Menotti

Was showing Anna my food blog coz she's also into food and the end result was both of us feeling very hungry! We could knock off early today and there was some time before meeting the seafoodies so Anna and myself headed down to Menotti for a meal.

i ordered the crab cakes to share... was telling Anna dat crab cakes are a whole ball of crab meat. she used to think its the artifical crab stick kind. haha...



today's crab cakes isnt as good as before. its not as salty i think.

den we shared 3 GOOD cakes....!

Duomo...



the chocolate oozing out from inside...



the top part is some creme brulee like thingy and bottom is like some biscuit. this used to be my favourite cake from Menotti.. i still like it.. but i cant decide which one's my favourite! haha

anna and myself both got really excited when we saw this...



maybe because we've not seen this before and its so nicely decorated like a delicate present!



its pretty good as well. top part is pretty milky and the bottom is those hazelnut praline kinda crunch. nice!

Anna's favourite, the souffle like warm chocolate cake...



served wif ice cream and oozing chocolate cake. I really cant decide which one i prefer!

Manhattan Fish Market

Dinner @ Manhattan Fish Market.

the seafood chowder...



tomato based cream soup. was not bad.... not very strong in taste but nice in its mild way.

and oh.. i was so so so so upset when the server told me they no longer haf crispy shrimps on their menu! he said its due to low demand... how can dat be? dats like my favourite item on their menu! sob! cheap n good! management of manhatten fish market, if u see this, can u pls pls pls bring it back?

we also shared a seafood platter.. the flaming kind...



the set...



overall its not too bad but i personally still prefer fish & co.'s for their grilled stuff instead of the fried. haha just a personal preference!

Golden Cafe

Golden Cafe.

dear dear had tom yam soup....



i tried and found it alright... its not fair to hear my comments coz im not a tom yam or spicy food person. dear dear said its nice.

ah mah pig ordered the mee goreng under dear dear's recommendation....



its yummy! not super spicy but its pretty good.

i ordered the beef hor fun....



major tasteless. the beef is tasteless, the sauce is tasteless, the hor fun is tasteless =(

The Palace

Sorina's lunch at this Korean restaurant at basement 1 of Chevron House..



sorina had some korean spicy noodles thingy...



a closer up view....



i tried the soup was ok but it actually tastes quite like instant noodles. haha..

Bento Place

I was craving for something soupy so dear dear and Jasmine recommended Bento Place at the basement of chevon house....



i actually took the above pic the next day coz i forgot to take it today.. and immediately there was this man who walked out and shouted at me sounding really fiercely.. expression looked like he was gonna turn violent but of coz he didnt.. n he said.. " xiao jie? ni shi zuo shen mer de? wo men zhe li bu ke yi sui bian rang ni pai zhao " .... so i merely just walked away.

as for why they are so uptight about it, i dun really koe.. its not like they already know that i dun think much of their food and will give my honest opinon on my blog? or are they already aware that their food aint fantastic so they dun need honest publicity?

anyway, we shared a chicken karage...



its quite decent though a little expensive for the portion. costs $4 plus i think.

for mains, i had a char siew ramen, non spicy...



the soup was decent, noodles was ok also. but the char siew is definitely not up to standard. the char siew tasted like lean meat.. very boring char siew.

dear dear had the tempura udon...



tastes fine.

jasmine had the same char siew ramen but hers is spicy....



overall food was ok.. ok as in can eat but nothing special. but due to the service, i most prob will not return. i had my bag on a chair and i do understand its lunch hour but instead of asking nicely, the man spoke really loudly commanding (not ask hor) i remove my bag and insisting the group on my left to shift over.

yes, its lunch hour, restaurants want to maximise seatings for business but theres no reason to be rude about it. also, if u're a stall selling food at $3 per packet... naturally i wun be expecting any service .. but this place smelly smelly also can be called a RESTAURANT right? i pay around $9 bucks for my ramen, i think its reasonable to expect at least politeness.

tel: 65324331, 65323226

Meixin and i shared a chicken cutlet and a fish and chips...

the chicken cutlet...



enormous portion. earlier on, martin n weicai couldnt really finish theirs. Their chicken cutlet is really GOOD. its very crispy yet the chicken is thick, tender and juicy. aside from the usual fries and coleslaw, they also add a man tou and a fried egg. costs $6.50.. not cheap but if u share its pretty ok.

the fish and chips....



i like it. also thick and fresh. i actually prefer this to the fish n chips i had in perth =p

TCC - Devil's Chocolate Cake

Paulyn's surprise birthday celebration. Carol got her a cake from TCC.

i think its Crabby's favourite cake from TCC.. its the Devil's Chocolate cake...




anna and i shared a piece. its very smooth dark chocolate moose on top with a thin spread of raspberry den the chocolate cake. not bad.

Lucky Cafe

lunch with sayang today and i also asked ah mah pig along. sayang brought us to this kopitiam along circular road (i think).

its called Lucky Cafe tel: 65330070

shared a fish soup...



tastes ok only.

was asking sayang to recommend a dish and she mentioned marmite chicken.. immediately, i chose it! when ah mah pig arrived and saw my dish, she wanted it immediately too...



overall its pretty good. its fried chicken den stir fried.. but the marmite sauce taste was not strong.. in fact its very sweet so i didnt really like it coz i expected it to be a strong marmite sauce taste. But i think ah mah pig liked it.

sayang had small chilli chicken...



which is very nice! i personally prefer this over the marmite chicken coz the chicken is not deep fried! and the sauce is really nice... chicken is tender..yummy!

Sayang treated for lunch! thank cute sayang!

anna had a fried tofu...



i ordered the tamago...



pretty alright.

and we shared a avocada maki...



each piece is very small but decent in taste.

sorina had a oyako don but because she duno requested it to be wetter, they gave her alot of sauce and she joked about it being oyako porridge....



but its pretty good. not a very big bowl but ok portion.

i had the chicken karage ramen...



decent.. the chicken karage would probably taste better if served seperately from the soup.

Carol's mushroom ramen...



tried a bit of the soup.. the soup is pretty nice, same as my ramen, comes wif quite a bit of garlic bits.

Carol treated, thank cute!
