Just salmon sushi

I was still hungry so grabbed a box of salmon sushi.
 0 讚好

Normally I get the loose ones but I couldn't be bothered to choose that day.
I like the way how they have improved the sushi boxes, there is an area to put soy sauce and wasabi.
There is a warning on the labelling to be careful of small bones so they've got their arzes covered!


The base of the box now has ridges which prevents the sushi from moving around when you carry it.
As for the taste, the salmon was fresh so there was not much complaints.

If you like Willow Leaf Fish roe (smelt or Shishamo), you will love this gunkan.
Although the roe is pale and does not look as appetizing as flying fish roe, it was really delicious for me because it is pure roe without those annoying fine bones and bitterness when the fish is grilled.
I hope to get it again because it tastes really good.

Deteriorated

Since my last visit, the food and service has deteriorated.
Firstly the staff clearly didn't want to answer questions or take orders.
The squid roll was dry and tasteless, it seemed like it had been in the fridge for ages because people don't order it.
The bittermelon was no longer available.
The beef noodles were ok but not as good as the first visit because the broth was weak and the beef wasn't that good.

[Review 6257] Pon de Rings at Antoshimo Cafe & Bakery @ Antoshimo Cafe & Bakery (鑽石山)

Antoshimo Cafe & Bakery is famous for Okinawan donuts but now they have pon da rings as well.
It would seem that the purple potato is the best because the rest is iced with lame icing and toppings.
Anyway, I am not a fan of purple potato so I got the hazelnut and salted caramel.
Unfortunately their frying oil wasn't that fresh so the donuts had this unpleasant oily odour and taste it didn't matter what flavour you got, the taste of the oil is stronger than all those fancy toppings.
It was four for $60. I was so glad I am only got two to try but even two was too much because it didn't taste right.
The texture was how it should be ie crispy and chewy in the middle but it oozed out with that lovely oil NOT!

The vegetarian cumin flavoured sushi is so delicious. You can literally smell the cumin and the texture is like mince.
It tastes like tex mex chili con carne and vegetarian version of lamb rice by Mr.Cumin so I was happy getting a box of the same flavour.
The quinoa and edamame is healthy but not as flavourful.
As well as sushi, I found burritos!!

Okinawan Mozuku seaweed
2017-08-13  493 瀏覽
I love Okinawan food so got the Mozuku seaweed in Shikuwasa citrus vinegar.
The texture is a bit like soft glass vermicelli but slightly chewier and viscous.
As for the taste, it was flavoured in citrus vinegar so it was very refreshing.
The seaweed is extremely tangled so you end up with a mouthful!
While I was choosing what to get, I was quite shocked some mmaaiinnlanders were opening the boxes and smelling them which is not hygienic!

As well as Flamingo Bloom, this is another tea shop that I like because it is proper brewed tea and they use real fruits for their fruit teas.
I have been meaning to try the pineapple green tea but it was always sold out.
Finally got it on a rainy day because there were not that many people.
It was good as anticipated with a frothy top, fragrant Jasmine flavour and pieces of real pineapple that was tangy, not the nasty sweet canned pineapples that you get in Hong Kong style syrup fruit punches.

Another good option in dh!!

Previously tried this joint in polam and I loved it.
At polam, the kitchen is small so they only serve noodles and egglettes.
Here they have almost all the Singmalay dishes I like.
There was a luxurious Duck in port wine sauce loaded with juicy cherries!!
This was great with rice.

The rice vermicelli with aubergines and spicy sauce was damn delicious because it was strong in taste with a hint of chili.


For tea, there is a crispy bun with salmon and onsen egg and the crispy bun was the star of the show because it was baked just right and not burnt.



For drinks, the pomegranate and cucumber was surprisingly good and it tastes fruity and not syrupy.

The Jasmine tea was nice and strong.

Last but not least, the bak kut teh was loaded with herbs so it was nourishing.

Quarter pounder with cheese

2017-03-07  122 瀏覽

I had a craving for beef but the BIGMAC isn't my thing because I don't like the lettuce and burger sauce so went for the Quarter pounder which just has tomato ketchup and cheese.

The patty was evidently juicy and the beef was tastier than the patty you get for the hamburger.

It just tastes simply good with ketchup, onions, cheese like the hamburger but at a bigger size because the patty is bigger and thicker.

Sweet soymilk broth :(
2017-02-14  272 瀏覽
The staff here were really nice but unfortunately the food wasn't good.

Originally I picked the plain soba noodles but then I spotted the Green monday soymilk broth noodles so I changed to that.
The soymilk broth was so disgusting because they used sweet soy milk so the noodles and vegetables were all sweet.
I was pretty annoyed because I was very hungry that night,
The lotus roots lacked yuzu taste because it was supposed to be yuzu flavour according to the menu.

McDs were doing two sweetcorn pies for $10 but since they ran out, they changed it to apple pies which is even better because I hate sweet corn pies.
Luckily, there wasn't a queue or I would have left because they don't have self service kiosks at this branch.
The apple pies were good, crisp and sweet with a strong cinnamon taste.
