Food Review: Zaolek 早乐 Lok Lok Singapore

Recommending you the highly raved LOK LOK Buffet restaurant located at Kovan! Something you shouldn't miss out!

Zao lek is specialised on Lok lok, you can choose to deep fried it or even dip into their soup base. They have a total of 6 soup base. Tom Yum, bak kut teh, Laska, chicken, Mala, and Satay (Additional $4).

Lok Lok Dinner Buffet:

Steamboat Lok Lok - Choose 2 Soup Bases out of 6. BBQ Lok Lok - We will mass BBQ those popular selections & distribute to all tables.

Fried Lok Lok - A maximum of 12 sticks per round per table.
Fruit Lok Lok - Free flow.
* Free flow of selected drinks and ice-cream.
* Beers are sold separately.

Ladies Night Promotion - Every Wednesday. $15 for 2 pints. Specially for the Ladies ONLY.

Meat and Veggie station -

Fruit Station -

Drink Station - Choose Lime Juice or Water chestnut.

Sauce Station -

Use this clip to your plate that you wanted to deep fried it. Each plate max 12 Stick. They will served to your table when it really.

What I choose for my soup base? Laska and Bak Kut Teh, this 2 soup base was highly recommend by the owner and was very popular among the customers.

I really like their bak kut teh base, it was more on herbal style and I really like it. The meat, seafood and veggie goes well in this base as for laska base, best to go with the veggie and small dish etc. Try their chili crab dipping sauce and sambal chili sauce it was really good!

Everyone love fried food! Our top favourite was their deep fried broccoli, and sweet potato.

Food: 4/5

My Verdict:
Zao lek served the best Lok Lok in Singapore and even taste much nicer than in Malaysia! Sometime I find Malaysia Lok Lok. is quite unhygienic! I will definitely recommend it to my friends/family/colleagues. Will be back again for more of the goodness.

PLEASE MAKE AN RESERVATION BEFORE GOING DOWN TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.

Cafe Review: Ciel Patisserie

Ciel Patisserie serves cakes that are more than worth every penny and are pleasing to the eye, palate and wallet. Ciel Pâtisserie was born out of the belief that good desserts need not be fancy or pricey. Good desserts should simply taste heavenly. In fact, it is the simple desserts that are often the most wholesome and deeply satisfying.

That is why they are called 'ciel', pronounciation [see-el] and French for 'sky' or 'heaven' - because they believe this is where everyone can truly have a slice of heaven!

Strawberry Shortcake - $5.60

The perfect choice for a lighter cake. It’s a light and pillowy soft sponge cake with multi-layers of chopped fresh strawberries.

Taste: 4.5/5

The Fuji - $5.20

Their most unique creation, is a pyramid of pudding-like green tea mousse with a lychee gelée surprise centre atop a delicate green tea sponge base. It was light and had a subtle green tea taste.

Taste: 4/5

Cafe Latte - $3.60

The only BAD is their coffee. It was just a normal machine made coffee.

Taste: 0/5

Overall Experience:
If you craving for cake or looking for good cake for your birthday, Ciel Patisserie is the best place to get your dessert fix or get ur birthday cake. It's value for money although it was quite hard to find this place if you are not staying around here.

What to eat at Ci Yuan Community Club Hawker

(Photo Credit: channelnewasia.com)

This new hawker centre opened on 4 August 2015, is co-located within Ci Yuan Community Club at Hougang Avenue 9. Consisting of 40 cooked food stalls with 640 seats, it is the first of the 20 new hawker centres planned by National Environment Agency (NEA). Fei Siong Food Management Pte Ltd (Fei Siong) has been appointed the managing agent for this hawker centre. It is equipped with tray-return facilities, natural ventilation and family-friendly features such as child-friendly toilet facilities and family-friendly seating. Another special feature to take note; every stall has an automated payment machine – customers are expected to insert the notes and coins into it for payment.

Recommending what nice food is over there.

1. The pasta stop.

Chicken Pasta Set -

Chicken Pasta (S$7.50) with Mushroom Soup, Garlic Bread and Tiramisu (S$2.80 meal top-up for all the 3 items) from Pasta Stop. I had this yummy and value-for-money meal at the newly opened Ci Yuan Hawker Centre. I like the use of the automated payment machine to make payment which in my opinion is so much better than the card payment system (I really hate the hassle of having to top up my meal card).

Taste: 3/5

2. Western Food.

Devil Chicken -

Tried this Devil Chicken. The portion was quite big and it served with sweet potato fries, potatoes fries and garlic chili sauce dip. The chicken was well fried still it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was well marinated chicken. The garlic chilli sauce was slightly to garlicky and less spicy.

Taste: 2.5/5

3. Pontian wanton mee.

Wanton Mee (Previous review on Pontian) -

Average wanton mee that everyone agree with it.

4. Chicken Rice.

Roasted Chicken x Steamed Chicken -

The crispy and fragrant skin from roasted chicken or the velvety smooth skin from the usual steamed chicken? Both cooking style of chicken is really good! You can satisfy ur chicken rice craving by having this plate of chicken.

Taste: 3/5

5. Fish Soup.

Fish Soup-

This fish soup is the best stall in Hougang area! The broth was sweet, clear and flavorful! The fish was very fresh and tasty.

Taste: 3.75/5

Cafe Review: SOD Cafe

SOD is commonly known as SuperOxide Dismutase.It's an anti-oxidant that helps to remove toxins, prevent and neutralize various types of free radicals that damage our body. It also boosts our immune system

Long description

It's an anti-oxidant that helps to remove toxins, prevent and neutralize various types of free radicals that damage our body. It also boosts our immune system.

Today, everyone in Singapore are able to enjoy the FIRST healthy and premium SOD Bubble Tea Series at SOD Cafe in Singapore which is a joint-collaboration by both Singapore organization, SOD Cafe LLP and Food Innovation Resources Centre.

Sod Milk Tea with Black Pearl - $4.50

The signature SOD Milk Tea! The sugar syrup is served in a syringe bottle for us to manually add to our taste and liking. The bubble tea was really fragrance and good.

Taste: 4/5

Sod Milk Tea with White Pearl - $4.50

Truffle Fries - $6.50

This must be the cheaper and nice truffle fries that i ever had! The truffle aroma was strong and the fries was crispy and not too oily!

Taste: 4/5

Glazed Chicken Wings - $7.50

The wings was coated with honey. It was crispy but normal!

Taste: 1.25/5

Smoked Duck and Eggs on Toast - $9.50

Something interesting! It was served with 3 pieces of smoked duck, mandarin orange, scrambled egg, letture, toasted broiche and bbq sauce.

The toasted was too soggy, but it was a good mixture, and it can be better if they give more smoked duck.

Taste: 2.25/5

Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Prawn - $13.50

I would have preferred a slightly spicier taste with a little more garlic, but this pasta wasn't too oily too! The serving portion wasn't huge, but it definitely worth the money! The prawns were also fresh and crunchy!

Taste: 4/5

Japanese Curry Baked Rice - $9.50

It was served with Japanese curry, rice, cheese, ham, and chicken.

The Japanese curry was fragrance, creamy, rich and not too spicy! Chicken was very tender. It was a well baked rice!

Taste: 4/5

Churros Chocolate - $5.50

The churros was good but it was normal. It was very crispy on the outside but it was lacking of some flavor.

Taste: 1/5

Chocolate Royal Cake - $6.50

The cake was really chocolaty and was super rich! The cake was very moist too.

Taste: 2.75/5

Food: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 2.5/5

Overall, I would definitely be back here to try the other dishes. Being a new cafe and offering food at such affordable pricing! Bonus, there are a NETT Price Cafe and have free wifi and plug on almost every table!

Food Review: Soon Soon Teochew Porridge

Some people associate eating porridge with being ill, but I beg to differ. Teochew porridge retains the shape of the rice and pending on personal preference, you can have a watery porridge or a pretty dry porridge. Teochew porridge dishes highly emphasize simplicity and originality, and every dish is cooked with minimum seasoning to retain its original taste.

Chilli Sauce -

It tasted like chicken rice chilli but it still good.

Porridge -

Well cooked porridge.

Minced Meat Omelette -

The omelette was well pan fried. It was flavorful, and meaty. Every bite was full of minced meat.

Taste: 2.75/5

Stir Fried Spicy Minced Meat -

The minced meat was flavorful but the spiciness wasn't good enough. The dish can be improved.

Taste: 2/5

Stir Fried Cabbage

It was an simple dish, the more simple it's, the more hardest to achieve the good taste. But they achieved it.

Taste: 2.75/5

Chilli Lala -

The lala was cooked with chilli crab sauce. The taste-wise was disappointed. The chilli crab sauce was quite watery and it wasn't spicy. The lala wasn't that fresh too.

Taste: 0/5

Assam Stingray -

The assam stingray wasn't that good too. The gravy was too watery, not spicy and it was quite tasteless. The stingray wasn't fresh enough as the fish got a fishy smell.

Taste: 0/5

Food: 1.75/5

Overall, this teochew porridge was pretty average as the dishes wasn't that good, so i don't think i will be back again! But it's still worth a try.
