We Heart Jelly Hearts - Jelly Hearts

Some of you may have tried this perfect little dessert at someone's full month or birthday party before. For those who haven't, and have a weakness for sweet things, you will probably fall in love with this little sweet combination of jelly and cheese cake quickly.

What I love most about this little number is the crust on the bottom of the cake. The crusty flavour compliments the cheese cake and jelly very well and the dessert isn't too sweet.
Before you could only order online but now you can buy your jelly hearts from E!Hub at Downtown East. A box of 2 costs $3.80.
They also have it in other flavours like mango which is just as yummy. Jelly Hearts are lard free.
Go to #02-111 for some.

Lor Mee Me

I do not eat lor mee on work days because it causes serious garlic breath. The only time I usually eat lor mee is on weekends with my family because to me, the best lor mee has to come with heaps of chopped garlic and the right amount of chilli paste as well as vinegar.

Blk 117 Aljunied Ave 2 Food Centre has one of the best lor mee in town.
If you are a lor mee fanatic and have not tried the lor mee here, you must go have yourself a bowl.

Expedition Geylang 21

We gathered our kids and ventured over to Geylang Lorong 21 for Koung's Wan Tan Mee today and here's my take on the popular wanton noodles:

We waited ages for our wanton mee to come which was expected and when it came, the dry mee we ordered, frankly didn't live up to our expectations. The noodles were pretty dry and hard and the smell of yeast on the noodles was on the heavy side.

But I thought the sauce blend in the mee was balanced in taste and the char siew was not too dry but the wanton soup on the side was bland.
Both my husband and I liked the noodle soup version better. The soup was sweet and the noodles inside were naturally softer in texture.

Price: $3.80 for a plate/bowl.

B&B with my bb

The romantic partner of mine brought me on a date to a quaint little chill out place at the end of Punggol last night called Bacon & Booze for a nice cold beer. This place is relaxing but air is warm and the breeze sticky.

This bacon scented cafe/bar is on the same grounds as a mini horse ranch and holds up a cute mid western styled facade, uncommonly seen in SG.

Definitely a great place to chill out at with your friends but its a long drive in so you will need some form of transport to get in and out.

The kitchen was already closed when we got there so I plan to go back there very soon to have some of their bacon themed breakfast dishes which look so good on pictures. And in case you didn't already know that I am a bacon person, any dish with bacon in it, is a winner to me. :)

If you happen to be on a date with a girl, you could also take her on a nice little stroll down to the mini pier and park nearby. But if you are planning to do more than kiss her, please do not because our police are on 24hr duty at the pier, which is a stones throw away from our lovely neighbour, Malaysia.

Weekends: 9am - 1am

Claypot Laksa Kia

I had the original Depot Rd Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa for lunch at Alexandra Village today. I love their laksa and it is no doubt my number 1 claypot laksa choice in Singapore.
The gravy is rich, thick, spicy and so fragrant. The noodles are al dente and their clams are fresh.
A must try dish for any laksa lover. Even Dr Leslie Tay calls it a bowl of heaven in his ieat.ishoot.ipost blog.

Expect a queue but it clears quickly.

We Heart Joe's Porridge

If you consider yourself a full bred local chinese, there might come a time in your life when you crave for a nice warm bowl of cantonese pork porridge.
One of the best cantonese porridge you can find in Chinatown is at Joe Pork Porridge Raw Fish.
Tucked in a corner of Smith Street Food Centre, the porridge sold there has a very authentic local cantonese flavour to it. Their porridge is thick, not too salty and extremely hearty. They are very generous with their meat portions which i believe what makes their porridge tasty.

They have a selection of different types of porridge ranging from pork to raw fish porridge.

Saturday Morning w My Kouign Amman - Tiong Bahru Bakery

My ever giving other half brought me to Tiong Bahru Bakery at Raffles City S.C
for very lovely pastries and coffee on this beautiful saturday morning all because I had cravings for pastry.

This bakery has another outlet along Eng Hoon St in Tiong Bahru which I have not been to as yet and would love to visit someday.

In collaboration with celebrity baker Gontran Cherrier,  this place is a great place to come to for good 'ol french pastry and coffee.

KOIUGN AMMAN is a must try at this bakery as it is their specialty pastry. Though coated in caramel sugar glaze, this pastry is not too sweet. Its chewy and very flavoursome yet not too buttery.

The other pastry you must try is their croissant which is highly rated. Its not as oily and flaky as the usual croissants sold at other bakeries. Just freshly layered, fluffy and awesome.

The next time I visit,  i am getting my hands on their squid ink bun burger which I have heard is fantastic.

Last but not least, please try their coffee because its brewed and made very well. Aromatic, robust, and simply palette satisfying.

All in all, we enjoyed our time there not only because of the food they serve but the friendly service we received from the staff working there.

Kudos to Tiong Bahru Bakery for bringing a taste of France to Singapore.
