Four Leaves Walnut Stick


This is really great stuffs to chew at with a cup of nice coffee or tea.

The walnuts within the "chewy" bread, makes it a joy to munch at. The raisin and the breadstick compliments each other really well. The little openings on top of the bread makes it even better to chew and have no sign of stopping once start.

The best thing is, you don't feel sinful eating this, cos, its a slim stick and not like big fat dough!

Good stuff as afternoon tea, either in office or lazing at home.

Starbucks Raisin Toast


This is actually pretty good.

The toasted Raisin Toast from Starbucks, tasted kinda "thick". The amount of raisin in it is just about right, but for people like me, the more the merrier.

You must have it toasted, cut into half and spread Jam or butter on it. With cream cheese, it will taste even better. BUT, look out for those fats and calories, not forgetting it’s carbo.

Still, good stuff to fill up a small appetite.

1A Curry Puff


1A curry puff seems to be very popular among office workers and have gotten itself quite famous.

It had this layered crispy skin with hot fillings in it. The fillings are interesting. From the normal sardine to potato and even durian!

I don't particularly like the skin. it's just too crispy and do not have this old school chewy feel to it. It falls all over the place when you bite onto it. I like the traidtional skin.

The fillings are good, excellent infact. Juicy, warm, smooth and tasty.(No, I am not talking about what you are thinking about! It's the fillings!!! Pervert!!)

It's worth a try, especially for the fillings. If you are one for the traditional skin, than you are gonna hate the skin.

(The skin makes alot of difference to me. If it's traditional skin, a perfect 5 it will be)

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き)





Got my hands dirty cooking Okonomiyaki.

Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is a pan-fried Japanese dish cooked with various ingredients.

Okonomi means "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki means "grilled" or "cooked", thus, the name of this dish means "cook what you like, the way you like".

The dough is ready made ones bought from Tokyo. for the ingredients, we add in ham, prawns and Japaneses cabbage. Mixed it all together, cook one side for about 4-5 mins, flip it over and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

Divide the whole piece into 4 small pieces and put the necessary sauce on it, and you are reafy to go!

The secret here lies on the dought mix. If the mix is a failure, you will not get the taste you are looking for.

Not sure if the mix can be found in Singapore, but I have yet to see it.

Sun Moulin Curry Donut


This Curry Donut, i would say is THE favorites among Japanese. A popular Singaporean bun too.

The curry in this donut is not your typical curry. It's curry in Japanese, not too spicy, soft and all mashed up with potato. The curry does not drop all fall all over when you sink your teeth into the Donut.

The crust of this Donut is amazing. The dough is soft and very pleasant to bite.

After having one of this, your appetite opens up and you crave for more food. When you try to eat another different bun, you felt disgusted. Cos, the other bun does not taste as good as this Curry Donut.

My advise, eat this Curry Donut the last, if not, you will find yourself depressed with the rest of your food.(Save the best for last!)

Lana Cakes


The notorious Lana Cake. Lana Chocolate Cake.

It's plain old, simple chocolate. No extras, no frills, no fabs.

It's not thick, not too creamy and not that "will die of heart attack" kinda thick chocolate taste. Good, simple and yummy. You can easily have 2-3 pieces at one go without feeling "too much" or "too thick".

They did not fixed what is not broken. Not too commercial, good for cake lovers. If you are on a diet, you can still enjoy it, without feeling too sinful.

I had 2 thick slices at one go, and still craving for more…

Must pre-order, if not, good luck.

Bae Huey Ji


This Bae Huey Ji is in Hokkien. It translates into "Deep Fried Horse Flower"..err...i have really not much of an ideal why/how the name...

But, this thing is GOOD!

It's not easy finding this in Singapore these days, as it's like a thing from my childhood days and it's such a joy to have, even untill now!

Totally local, totally oily, totaly tasty, totally cheap. So Singapore...!

It's dough, deep fried with sesame seeds on top and have this sweet and savoury taste to it. The chewy dough is the magic to the enjoyment.

It's really oily, but the taste is too good to past it off...I have this for lunch almost every week...

Usually, we would split this thing into have(right thru the centre portion) and eat it one by one. It goes perfect with hot soya bean milk or coffee/tea.

This one that I had so often these days is available at the Food Republic at Suntec City Convention Centre. Really good.

(If not for the oil, it would have gotten a perfect 5)
