Mondo (Bangkok)

It was a very quick lunch at Mondo, located at Hilton hotel bangkok. 

 

The roast pork was so good!

 

Crackling skin with juicy tender meat!

 

 

Omg so good! 

Thank u khun Peung for lunch!

Greyhound (Bangkok)

When in Bangkok, dinner at Greyhound is a must! 

The most exciting thing is, HOPTAILS ARE BACK!! Wooo hoo!!

 

In a couple of my past bangkok Greyhound entries, you would have seen me raving about this! The mixture of heineken and their iced tea is simply divine! Makes me wanting more! 

So glad they are back!

Also tried the plum version this time....

 

My favorite is still the iced tea version....

 

 

Pomelo salad....

 

Refreshing and good!

Tonnes of crabmeat fried rice! This is the Greyhound standard! The SG Greyhound needs to improve! 

 

 

And yes I love their fried rice and the generous amount of crab meat!

Likewise for their crab meat in pink cream sauce pasta....

 

Everyone whom we recommend to Greyhound to try this loves this! And mr Caron Ong, manager of SG Greyhound, please open ur eyes big big and see! This item is still available and have been for the past years I have visited. In fact I don't know where u did your internship so please stop doubting or finding excuses. It's fine if you guys didn't intend to bring this item into Sg but it's not fine when you try to find a million n one excuses when enquired about it or try to doubt me that I don't know my Greyhound ! 

Why Not? (Chiang Mai)

 

What an interesting name! 

Was told they have the best pizza in Chiang mai but the funny thing is none of us ordered pizza! Haha

My starter was burata...

 

Which was not as rich so wasn't much to my liking. But the cherry tomatoes were so sweet!

My mains was Gorgonzola cheese penne and I requested to add sausage (I need my meat）which the chef reluctantly agreed (haha)...

 

It was so good! Both the pasta and the Italian sausage! 

Will be back for the pizza!

Organic Coffee Bus (Chiang Mai)

Lunch was at this farm to table concept cafe...

 

 

We shared a fruit salad...

 

Which was not bad.

My mains.....

 

The sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. The greens were really fresh and was surprised there was even the butterfly pea flower in the greens! 

The Kitchen (Chiang Mai)

My first meal in Chiang Mai, randomly chanced upon this place located near Le Méridien Chiang Mai. 

Mainly coz it's air conditioned, Chiang Mai is too warm! 

 

 

Pork basil rice!

 

The bear shaped rice was quite a surprise! So cute!

The pork basil was not bad but the best I had was still the food street along siam square previously. 

Minced pork omelette...

 

Too little minced pork, too oily.

Chicken wings...

 

Very yummy! Very fragrant and juicy! 

Nissin King Cupnoodle

Check this out! Oh I should have took this beside a normal cupnoodle to let you have a sense of how relatively bigger it is. But this is indeed much bigger!

 

 

 

Pretty good in taste! Even the shrimps are much bigger Than normal ones!

Got it from one of those Japanese concept shops in KL. Not cheap thou, worked out to about $6-$8 sgd.

A.A.S.S Seafood Soup

Apparently the previous An Shang seafood soup shifted to another location in bedok!

 

 

I always go for the bak chor and pomfret! 

Now located at:

 

Very yummy and flavourful seafood soup. Comfort food for sure!

Rice & Fries

Dinner was at Rice & Fries! They have been meaning to check out R&F after hearing all the raves abt their food.

Today we were served a special - roast pork!

Which was so good! Crackling skin and tender meat!

Ordered my usual poached salmon, amazing as usual!

Salmon was done right. Not overcooked. Mashed was homemade with potato bits and was just heavenly with the cream sauce!

New on the menu, tuna tataki pasta! Well technically not on menu yet but should be by next week!

And the very flavourful crab risotto!

Always a great time at Rice & Fries!

Stateland

Stateland has been on our list of to-visit for the longest time. Way before they renovated and way before they probably introduced the chicken rice risotto! 

Glad to finally get the chance to visit today!

 

Located along Bali Lane, same stretch as Blu Jaz, diagonal from Raffles Hospital. 

The chicken rice risotto is top on my list to try! 

 

This is a very interesting dish. It really does taste like a porridge version of chicken rice with the chilli sauce. The risotto does taste like mui fan to some extent. Risotto with a very oriental feel. 

 

Good to try but not something I will crave and want to come back for. 

 

The other risotto we went for is the beef cheeks one....

 

 

Thought the beef cheeks were braised but turned out to be braised yet fried. Overall it was ok, not bad.

We also had a mentaiko gyoza...

 

The gyoza has too little meat for my liking. Haha

But overall, Stateland will be a place I wouldn't mind revisiting. Food is decent while not over the tops but pricing is very reasonable! 

A mains/risotto is about $20 which includes a drink, any drink! Can even be a coffee! 

 

We also ordered the dessert which is a Mochi donut thingy....

 

 

The soft serve comes in flavours of cookie peanut or banana. The cookie peanut is very cinnamon-ish while the banana is very banana! Haha the texture looks smooth but tastes more like ice popsicle. It's a pity they only had these two flavours coz I didn't really fancy it, wish they had flavours like vanilla.

The mochi donut is good in terms of texture!

For salted egg lovers, they have his one that's really good!

 

 

The texture as well! Damn good! 

Again, wish they had regular vanilla soft serve! 

Service is great too! Opens till 10pm. Last order for food at 9pm, last order for desserts at 9.30pm!

Rice & Fries

we celebrated Kaizhi's birthday at Rice & Fries!

Escargots....

 

very well done and flavourful! One of the better escargots around for sure!

Foie gras!

 

great portion and nicely pan fried!

Not on the menu: Tom Yam Pasta with chicken chop! Sorry, its super good tom yam pasta!

 

very flavourful and damn tasty! Best tom yam pasta around with tender chicken chop!

Pork chop with BBQ sauce....

 

the pork chop is bigger in portion now (plus point) but i don't really like the sauce as with other BBQ sauces.

and of course, a must order is the poached salmon! 

 

i love how their poached salmon is just right, the mashed potato is not instant. it has the potato bits and goes like amazing with the cream sauce!
