As well as fresh fruit, they also sell smoothies strangely packed in ready to drink pouches.
Got three flavours: coconut, mangosteen and pea and sesame pudding.
They all turned out like delicious baby food as it was like puree.
The only one I didn't like was mangosteen because it was sour and the taste was weird.
It tasted nothing like the real fruit whereas the coconut one was natrual and pleasant.

Wonton noodles on a Sunday
2018-07-14  445 瀏覽
This is not a place I would check out especially on weekdays when all the people working in the area go there.
I only happened to dine there on a Sunday afternoon because it was raining and I was too lazy to walk else where.

As it was Sunday, there were less people hence the staff were laid back so I was lucky and didn't have to put up with the usual unfriendly service which you can imagine when they are busy during lunch hours!!

Well, it was just noodles or noodles with different toppings.
I actually wanted the beef but she somehow heard wonton.
When it came, all the wontons were at the bottom.
The noodles had the usual taste and hard slippery texture, not my favourite.
The wontons looked good even though they were small because you can see a whole shrimp in it.


The only thing that let it down was the saltiness, the wontons were just too salty.

This is a great option for lunch if you are working in the area as they serve big portions.
Tried the curry which was better than expected, it was the usual Japanese style curry sauce topped with thinly sliced grilled beef.
The Grilled teriyaki chicken impressed me because the teriyaki sauce was light and not too cloyingly sweet.
It was worth paying for because it was diced chicken thigh meat that was springy.
To summarize, it is like Yosxxxxa but better.

At TH & TW Cuisine, you will find Taiwanese and Thai food on the menu.
It gives you the best of both worlds when you have a group of people who want different things.
For lunch, had the Taiwanese Beef noodles and Hainan Chicken Rice.

Beef noodles:
There were some thick slices of beef shin which were soft and gelatinous.
Definitely impressed me here because I haven't had any good ones lately as they have all been dry and hard.
To complement the noodles, there was a side of my favourite preserved vegetables.

Hainan Chicken Rice:
Evidently, the Hainan chicken rice is a popular pick as they ran out of the chicken oil rice.
The chicken was soft and silky while the pickles turned out to be a surprise as they were so refreshing with a little chili kick to it.

For drinks had the freshly blended pineapple slush and lemon soda.

Went here for lunch.
When I went in, I was greeted by this Western Industrial design yet the menu was local Hong Kong stuff.
As I am not particularly fond of HK stuff, I just randomly picked instant noodles and it came with a drink which I gave to my friend as it was local stuff.
The cool thing was the fish and chips, it was served on a wooden board and the fish was drizzled with sauce.
{hope that wasn't salad cream}
The mugs that they use are metallic with the restaurant names on it.
I suspect, they are going to change the menu later with creative dishes but for now they are just serving local food.
Will come back later as I don't think this is what they intended to serve.

As I don't often roam in TST, didn't know it was a new dessert joint until I saw the reviews.
For me, I chose cake with tea and it was really good that they had my favourite Mightly Leaf Earl Grey.
It went well with my chocolate cake because it helped balance the heavy cream.
My friend had the shaved ice which turned out good enough for three people to share.
It was loaded with so much red beans, green tea pudding and mochi balls.
Definitely the dessert on a hot day.
They are going to change the menu soon so everything might be different on the next visit.

[Review 6685] Good variety of bagels !@ Bagels Alley

This bagel joint is nicely hidden so I keep forgetting to go.
Finally went but they were on holiday so went back another day.

There are lots of bagels to choose from so basically you choose your bagel, then the filling.
I chose the sun dried tomatoes with a creamy onion and chive filling.
It was wrapped and sliced in the middle served piping hot.
As it was hot that day, had to wait for it to cool down a bit before I could touch it.
It had the usual bagel texture with a soft chew complimented nicely by the creamy filling which turned out too heavy on a hot day.
