Mr. Bean, Raffles City

-
Look at these adorable plushies! Opps...I am not trying to blog about these. This is a merchandise from a Soya Pudding stall which is known as Mr. Bean. Nowadays, a lot of type of drinks has been commercialized and creative components added to a common drink. First is the simple milk tea at kopitiam has become a bubble milk tea. Second is from a basic chocolate, vanilla and strawberry milkshake...now becomes with M&M, Smarties, honey, yam and many more. See more in my previous post about Once Upon A Milkshake.
Now, from a roadside soya bean stall, now comes with mascots and merchandise for sale. 
Will be the old traditional way be forgotten?
Their promotions on their signatures. Since it is highly recommended by my girl that Silky Soya Pudding is a must try, so I just followed.
Silky Soya Pudding @S$2.00
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 3/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 2/5 - I am not impressed with it. The first bite I should be tasting is the rich soya bean taste but I tasted a powdery soya bean. Too powdery which I believe it is made from soya powder and jelly powder. The original soya bean taste has gone. I rather choose a tau fu fah instead.

A closer look. In my opinion, it is not really a must try dessert. Disappointment is all I can think of and I believe it is just too commercialized. So do please do not worry for the traditional roadside stall. Just keep up your originality and you will not be replaced by this.
Total Damage: S$3.00
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Food Serving Speed: Fast
Recommended?: No
Location: 32 Wallich St, Singapore 078880

Sitigun Cafe, Georgetown

-
Image
Sitigun Cafe is located at the junction between Jalan Nagor and Jalan Bawasah. Finding a parking here is a pain. Well, they do served great coffee so it is worth it. Croissant with smoked Salmon @RM16.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Their croissant are really fresh as they baked daily. The soft and fresh croissant mix with smoke salmon is truly great. If the croissant itself has the rich buttery taste, that would be perfect for me. Flourless Chocolate Cake @RM12.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 3/5 Taste: 2/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 2/5 - Too plain for me and does not really amazed me. Not photos about their coffee but their signature is still their coffee. Do drop by just for a cup of their coffee because I saw them hand pick the coffee beans and roasted themselves. A very tedious process but brings out the best coffee taste to their customers. I like it! Another thing I like about this cafe is they have a seat facing the road. It ...

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

Carrot Cake in chinese style @RM6.00 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - We ordered two plates and one plate is very delicious and fragrant but another one is too s...

Cia Xiang Seafood Restaurant, Bukit Tambun

-
Image
In my experience so far, the best seafood restaurant at Bukit Tambun is Restoran How Kee Seafood Village . Surprisingly, it is not listed in "Taste with Jason" tv programme. He preferred Cia Xiang Seafood Restaurant somehow. So here I am to find out! Unlike  Restoran How Kee Seafood Village , Cia Xiang Seafood Restaurant is very close to Bukit Tambun Tol Exit. While waiting for the first traffic light to turn green, you will immediately see their restaurant signboard on your north east direction. Crab Claypot Rice @RM54.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 1/5 Overall: 3/5 - The rice in the claypot is extremely delicious with thick crab fragrance in it. However, this has caused the crab meat itself has little left taste in it because being absorbed most of it in the rice. The crab meat is fresh but very near tasteless. It is a waste. In addition, the price is just too expensive for just one crab in the pot. Fried Prawns in Coconut Gravy @RM20.00 ...

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

Restoran Minmax, PNB Darby Park

Dim sum is always everyone's favourite even to our Muslim friends but finding a Halal and delicious dimsum is not that easy at all. After I have dined in Restoran Minmax, I know this is the best ever Halal dimsum that's available in Malaysia currently. It advised to come before 12.00pm during office hours or else you will have a hard time finding a seat. Even you able to find a seat, you will need to wait for a long time for the food to arrive. Prawn Dumplings @RM6.90++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 - The prawn that is hidden inside the dumpling skin is so big and tangy. It is so fresh which you wish there is more than a prawn inside it. Absolutely delicious! Scallop Dumpling @RM12.90++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - You are not getting a tiny pieces and you are not getting just half but one whole 20 cents sized scallop inside the dumpling. The scallop is so fresh and succulent too w...

Cruise Tour on Erhai Lake, Dali

-
Image
Erhai Lake is the largest highland lake next to Dianchi and one of the seven biggest fresh water lakes in China. It means, 'sea shaped like an ear', in Chinese. Implying that the lake is ear shaped and as large as a sea, hence it was so named. The Erhai Lake covers an area of 250 square kilometers (96 square miles) and is located about two kilometers (1.2 miles) east of Dali. It is like a crescent lying between Cangshan and Dali city as seen from Cangshan Mountain. In a sunny day, the crystal waters of Erhai Lake and the snow mantled Cangshan Mount radiate with each other. Thus the scene was commonly described as 'Silver Cangshan and Jade Erhai'. There are a lot of ways to tour around the Erhai Lake but I suggested you the best two ways. Cycling/Sightseeing Car/Electric Bike/Electric Car - No matter which type of transportation you are using, you need 2 days to complete the tour around the lake. The total distance is 128km. My suggestion is you leave your big...

Restoran How Kee Seafood Village, Bukit Tambun

I have to thank one of my client to let me found another gem of seafood restaurant which is located at Bukit Tambun. The restaurant name is called Restoran How Kee Seafood Village. I purposely bring my friend from China to try our local crab which is in my favorite Butter Cream Style. To be honest with you, up to date...this style is not exist in a country as big as China. No joke and I have traveled quite a number of famous seafood restaurants in China and requesting for this style. They just declined me by saying there is no such style. So since it is a new thing for her, I just have to let her taste it! Butter Cream Crab @RM39.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - The friendly lady boss offered us one huge crab which weight at 1.1kg and cook in butter cream dried style. My friend loves the butter fragrance of it with very slight spicy taste which is just enough to tickle our taste bud. She was amazed by it and hope to bring th...

Tamarind Springs @ Jalan TAR, Ampang

-
Image
Tamarind Springs is a sister company with Tamarind Hills but at different location and different concept. Tamarind Springs is located inside a jungle like area. So there are no air-conditioner provided and you are surrounded by greens. Very nice atmosphere to have your meals. An exotic dining experience! Tamarind Springs serves Indochinese Cuisine so you will be expecting Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand cuisine in their menu. To get to here is a little bit tricky. Even Google Maps and Waze failed to guide you to the right place. Basically you will only see this restaurant after you passed by the Royal Club Selangor Golf Course. For exact location, please click on the link on the word "Location" at the end of this post. There is a guarded parking lot provided which is free of charge. So do not worry about your expensive vehicle leaving in the wild and dark in the middle of the night. You have to be amazed with the landscape and design of this restaurant. Pretty...
