Food Review: Honolulu Cafe @ The Centrepoint

By now, I guess everyone has heard about and maybe also tried Hong Kong Honolulu cafe at the Orchard Centrepoint. It's also brought in by the same team behind Mak’s Noodle in Singapore.

Follow me, and see what had I order and try out!

Hong Kong Milk Tea - $3++

I only can taste the milk aroma and I didn't even taste any of the tea aroma.

Iced Milk Tea - $3.20++

Same. It was very disappointed!

Egg Tarts - $1.80++

The egg tarts was really good! But if compare to Tai Cheong bakery, they still lose out quite a lot. The only best food in this restaurant!

Curry Chicken Rice - $8.50++

This curry rice must be the worst curry rice that I had ever try in a cafe/restaurant! The curry wasn't spicy, creamy and aromatic. Instead it was quite watery and bland!

Curry Pork Chop Rice - $8.50++

Same to the previous dish!

Food: 1/5
Ambiance: 2/5
Service: 2/5

My Verdict:
My friend and I, we both don't really enjoy our dining experience over here. The food quality was far from the best! I will only try once and that's it!

Food Review: Wang Dae Bak Korean BBQ Restaurant

Wang Dae Bak – Inspired by the new “retro” trend in Korea, seeking back to the days in the 80’s when food was simple, tasteful and a place where people come to meet, drink, talk and be happy!

Reminiscing my Korea trip by having a Korean BBQ with Yan. Yan intro me this place as this place very popular by the local here.

As usual, Korean food always comes with lots of sides!!

Mash Potatoes, Cold Tofu, Beansprouts, Kimchi, Sour Salad, and Fried Beancurd Skin.

We order a BBQ set that cost S$48++. It comes with Marinated chicken, pork lean meat, pork belly, beef, mushroom and cherry tomatoes.

What had we order for our drinks?

Soju, Casa beer, and coke. A right mixture that will make you fall for it!! If you know what I mean.

1 Shot of Coke, 1 Shot of Soju and some Casa Beer. At the start it will be bitter but toward the end, It will be sweet. Everyone should give it a try!

Food: 3/5
Ambiance: 2/5
Service: 3/5

My Verdict:
I enjoyed my dining experience at Wang Dae Bak. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try.

Food Review: Bon Chon Chicken

Bonchon is a franchise, specialized in Korean-style fried chicken with a variety of savory Asian fusion dishes and Korean specialties. Bonchon was born in Busan, South Korea and is raised in the heart of New York City.

Bonchon has risen to fame, due to the popularity of its one-of-a-kind signature fried chicken. Bonchon has become a household name in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and China and is continuing to expand all over the globe with rapid growth in the United States.

Bonchon prides itself in the fact that all chicken is made to order, using the highest quality ingredients. Bonchon offers a variety of dining experiences for one to enjoy.
Lets have a look at their menu!

(Photo Credit: http://bonchon.sg/latest-menu/)

What we order? Whole: Half chicken for S$16.90++. We choose the Half-Half flavour, so we get to try both flavour. The chicken was well marinated and seasoned. It was well fried still crispy golden brown and tender on the inside. The spicy flavour was really addictive! I don't ming have it twice a week. It's really better than KFC and other fried chicken restaurants.

Jjambbong Bap Seafood - S$15.90++ (Korean-spicy seafood rice soup)

This dish was surprising good! The broth was fragrance, flavourful and it wasn't too spicy to overpower the taste. It has generous amount of seafood and the rice was moist and smooth.

Food: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 1/5
Service: 2/5

My Verdict:
Me and Olivier we both enjoyed our dinner at Bonchon Chicken. We might be back for more Korean spicy fried chicken.

Food Review: Kanshoku Ramen Bar

Kanshoku means ‘to finish eating every last bit of your food’ in Japanese. Founded in 2014 by close friends Melvin and Brendon, Kanshoku has since come a long way to create an experience that fulfills this ambitious intention.

Iced Green Tea - $2++

Normal green tea.

Truffle Ramen (Dry) - $16.90++

I tried out their truffle ramen. Interesting dish. It served with two slices of char siew, runny egg yolk, spring and chewy Japanese noodle and topped up with truffle. I find it that the truffle was too overwhelming, I suggest they should decrease the amount of truffle in it, I am not sure am I eating the truffle or a bowl of ramen.

Taste: 1.5/5

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen - $14.90++ ($2++ for the egg)

The ramen was served with 2 slices of char siew, black fungus, seaweed, spring onion, soft and spring noodle, and spicy tonkotsu broth. This ramen doesn't served with the egg. The noodle texture was softer and less chewy than the dry ramen. The spicy broth was more on the bland side, and it lacking of flavors.

Taste: 1/5

Food: 0.5/5
Ambiance: 1/5
Service: 1/5

My Verdict:
This ramen totally worth the price and the calories! It's just waste of time. I would rather spend a bit more for ippudo ramen.

KL Food Review: Restoran Sai Woo

Restoran Sai Woo, the famous food places for street food. All the local know about it, and this place is similar to our Singapore Chomp Chomp or Bedok 85. There's lot of good food here. I guess I am going to gain lots of weight when I am back to Singapore. So now, lets follow me to see what had I eat!1

Black Hokkien Mee -

The famous and the signature dish in KL. Trust me, this is the must try dish in KL because it was so good that if you didn't try you will regret it. The black hokkien mee is flavorful, savoury and addictive. They only added fish cakes and pork meat thats all. I can easily finish up one plate in 5 minutes.

Taste: 4.5/5

Sambal Lala -

This sambal lala was good. The sambal was fragrance and it was spicy enough. Spicy lover alert!! This dish you must try it, cause it wasn't just spicy, it was delicious and well goes with bowl of rice.

Taste: 4.25/5

Oyster Sauce Kai Lan -

Pretty normal dish, nothing fantastic.

Taste: 1/5

Oyster Omelette -

This plate of oyster omelette is slightly different from our Singapore version oyster omelette. They cooked the egg with flour first, after the egg is being cooked then added the oyster on top of it. But the omelette was crispy and eggy. The oyster was fresh and juicy.

Taste: 3/5

My Verdict:

The food over here was really good but it was very crowed and hard to get a seat too. And prepare to sweat a lot. Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Follow me on my journey in KL.

Restoran Sai Woo,

55 Jalan Alor,

50200 Kuala Lumpur,

Food Review: Pin Si Superior Restaurant @ Punggol Safra

Pin Si Superior provides comfortable sitting up to 500 guests, this is a place where you can have casual dinner with family. It is also a great place to celebrate a lavish wedding. It brings gourmet meal to the heartland of Singapore.

Last sunday, I having my dinner with my parent at Pin Si Superior Restaurant. It's located in punggol safra. Lets' see what we order!!

Chrysanthemum Tea (Pot) -

Fragrance, light and smooth.

Cashew Nut - Appetizer

Salted Egg Yolk Fried Fish Skin -

This dish was disappointing. It totally doesn't had the salted egg yolk taste!! It was just a normal fried fish skin!

Taste: 0/5

Crispy Fried Seaweed bean-curd with stir fried veggie -

The fried tofu is well fried, it was crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. I can even taste the seaweed aroma in it, also the sauce was light and flavorful. Well goes with a bowl of steamed rice.

Taste: 3.5/5

Crispy Roasted Duck -

This roasted duck was really good, it can compared to those well known famous roasted duck place. Good food is always unhealthy and oily! As you can see the amount of oil underneath the duck. The roasted duck meat was tender and flavorful. It does has a mild flavor of herbs in it. The roasted duck skin was my favorite part, glad that it doesn't disappoint me, the roasted skin was crispy, flavorful and super oily too, but it was good.

Taste: 4.25/5

Red Glutinous Wine Chicken -

Me and my mum both find this dish was lacking of some ingredient in it. We can't really describe what it was lacking but this dish was consider not bad. The chicken was well cooked still soft and tender. The gravy was flavorful but lacking of one taste.

Taste: 2/5

Yam Paste -

My favorite dessert in the Chinese restaurant. This yam paste was too good still we bought back another bowl home to enjoy it.

Taste: 4.5/5

PROMOTION

Food: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5

My Verdict:
We enjoyed our dining experience over at Pin Si superior Restaurant. The food was good, the service was good and also the ambiance. It was quiet and enjoyable dinner.

JB Cafe Review: Terminal One Cafe @ Taman Pelangi

Terminal One Cafe: Inspired by the sense that timeless railway stations evoke, Terminal One is a bistro that encapsulates the need to escape from the bustling city lifestyle and to serve as a gateway to the bygone idyllic era of class and elegance.

The experience is immersive. The evocative ambiance is augmented by retro decorations around each corner inspired by the majestic Grand Terminal Station.The nostalgic Coach Compartment Seating provides an intimate space for customers to dine and mingle.

Great foods are meant to be shared, bearing that in mind all Terminal One food are served Hors d’oeuvre style; piquant taste in light sizes.

Selections are extensive, with a fusion menu ranging from mini Japanese Sandwiches to ‘Western Delights’ and as to emulate the train-dining experience, all foods are served in a tray.

Why restrict yourself to one selection when you can enjoy everything in our menu? Our bite-size foods also mean that customers can pick and match any food in our menu the way they prefer.

Customers looking for more whole some meals may also opt to order additional food from the other One Garage restaurants.

Terminal One is the place to be for an exquisite dining experience. Discover a timeless setting combined with delightful fusion delicacies and be blown away with the grandeur of the design.

Food:

Yestea -

The signature drink at Terminal One cafe. This drink was our favorite, we even finish up 3 glass each by ourselves!! Can tell that we really like this drink. The tea aroma was strong and flavorful. It has Jasmine aroma in it too. The sweetness was just right.

Taste: 5/5

Green Sensation -

Green apple, cucumber and celery juice. it just an normal fruit juices.

Taste: 1.5/5

Mushroom Soup -

The mushroom soup was served with crispy puff and topped up with slices of sauteed mushroom. The soup was a tad too salty to our liking and it also lacking of the mushroom taste.

Taste: 1/5

Chicken Wing Set -

Fried chicken wings with fries. The fries was pretty normal, I will suggest if the fries can add a bit of seasoning like seaweed or truffles it will be better. The chicken wings was really good! My favourite dishes among all. The chicken wings was well marinated and fried still the skin was extreme crispy and juicy and tender on the inside. I would recommend everyone to give it a try.

Taste: 3.25/5

Snack Platter -

Buffalo wings, black pepper sausage, wedge, coleslaw. The buffalo wings was well marinated but the spiciness need to improve or we can choose the level of spiciness it will be better as we all find that the buffalo wings wasn't spicy enough or not spicy at all. The wedge and black pepper sausage was good, the wedge was quite addictive even without any sauce.

Taste: 2/5

Lamb Chop -

Their highly recommended lamb chop by the chef. Sad to say, this lamb chop was quite disappointing. The lamb meat was dry and tough. The lamb gamy was super strong, even me, myself a lamb meat eater also can't stand the taste of it.

Taste: 0/5

Salmon Tempura -

Deep fried salon, coleslaw, fries and veggie. The fried salmon was good. The salmon was well fried still golden brown and crispy. The salmon meat was still soft and tender. It well eaten with the tartar sauce.

Taste: 3/5

Nasi Lemak -

Chicken chop, egg, tomato, cucumber, ikan bilis, peanuts, pandan rice, and sambal chili. The chicken chop was well fried and seasoned. They used chicken thigh for their chicken chop. The minus point of this dish is their rice, the rice was cold and hard!! Guess they are using over-night rice and just put it into microwave. The winning point of this dish is their sambal chili! The sambal chili was really good, spicy, fragrance and addictive. If only they sell their sambal chili in a container too.

Taste: 1.5/5

Food: 2/5
Ambiance: 3.5/5
Service: NA

My Verdict:

We enjoyed our dining experience at terminal one cafe. I highly recommend you to try their yestea, chicken wings set and also their salmon tempura. Thanks Termina once cafe for the invitation and special thanks to station one team, terminal chef.
