This place is closed every time I walk past and that day is was open so I took a quick look to see what food they had.
They had fried chicken but as I was planning to have lunch, fried chicken was a bit too heavy so I got the sweet potato instead.There are three sizes: small, medium and large.
The small was sold out so I had to get the medium.The sweet potato was a bit dry and not that sweet with lots of fibre in it which was great for roughage.

This place has a comfortable sofa seating and a nice environment so went here for drinks.
As our order was over $200 we got a complimentary rabbit stand.
The drinks were good because you could ask for it to be less sweet but my favourite was the fizzy oolong tea with icecream.
For nibbles we had the pizza and lobster crackers.
The pizza was aromatic with a thin cracker base and the lobster crackers had cracked black pepper on top which made them tastier with a hint of fieryness.

Purple shock from Maxim's MX
2015-01-06  634 瀏覽
I have always thought that Maxim's MX was boring so when I walked past I was shocked and stunned to see that they had Sweet purple potato juice.

After I ordered it people began to order it because they didn't seem to notice it or they were not brave enough to risk it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet purple potato juice:

The juice was quite thick with pieces of sweet potato lumps in it and the sweetness was just right with a fragrant purple sweet potato taste.
It is almost like having a Chinese sweet soup but the sweetness is not so intense.
The drink is good for breakfast because it was very filling but having a cup is a bit too much!!

[Review 3983] Wasabi Warriors from Australia @ Wasabi Warriors

When I saw this listed, I didn't have a clue what it was but from the name it was obviously Japanese or something to do with sushi.
Walked past one afternoon and quite alot of the food was sold out and I was having dinner anyway so I just got a scallop sushi which was labelled as salmon.
I am giving this an OK score because I only had one piece of sushi which doesn't represent the whole picture but I will come back.

I got the seared scallop with mentaiko but the receipt says Salmon.
It was a big juicy scallop brushed with sweet sauce on top which was delicious!!
Apart from sushi, they specialize in sushi rolls which means competition for sugo sushi!!!

This review was bordering between a BAD and an OK but decided to give it an OK because it wasn't that bad.
I was captivated here because the picture of the rice showed delicious rice with lots of peas in it.

Luckily there were peas buried underneath but the pork was not exciting.

Stopped by because the tea selection looked promising.

Unfortunately the food wasn't that good.

Tried the pizza and pasta.
On the other menu, the English name for the pizza was naan.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken and cashew pizza:
The pizza base was meant to be naan according to the English menu but it was actually puff pastry.
Puff pastry is fine as long the toppings taste nice but they were SWEET.
Luckily it was a small pizza which didn't take up my appetite to eat other stuff elsewhere.

Mexican spaghetti bolognaise:
 4 讚好

The spaghetti was already precooked so it was just microwaved with the sauce on top.
I didn't like the sauce because it was watery and tasteless. There were kidney beans to make it look like Mexican food but it lacked Mexican spices.

If it wasn't for openrice I would not have known that this congee joint used to be located on Lockhart Road four years ago.
The reviews at that shop were quite negative especially the hygiene and service.
Luckily I didn't get any of that and the shop owner was extremely nice and I even saw him give meal tickets (飯票)to an eldery.

The congee there was delicious and really cheap too.
Surprisingly they used an electric cooker to cook it!

Each bowl of congee was cooked separately and he took his time to cook them.

The congee variety was amazing.

Overall, the congee was good but the rice rolls were too elastic like glutinous pastry.
Every congee had delicious spring onions and tasty peanuts stirred into it before it was served.

Pig's stomach congee with cumin:

I don't normally order anything with pig's stomach but ordered it because of the cumin.
The congee was lovely and creamy with a hint of cumin.

This congee was loaded with minced beef!!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Eel congee:
The eel congee was amazing because they put Chinese wine in it.
$24
The eel was boneless as well and I didn't find any brittle bones in the congee.

Fried fish:
 0 讚好

$12
The fried fish was crispy from head to tail and every bit was edible because the guts were removed.
It just tasted delicious and brought out the best taste of congee after you took a bite of the crispy fish.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rice rolls and fried dough stick rice rolls:
The rice rolls were the only items that I did not like because they was too chewy.
