Sunday, December 20, 2009 Ayam Buah Keluak (the popular Peranakan dish) Buah Keluak is a black or dark brown nut from Indonesia about the size and shape of a flattened golf ball......it actually resembled the Brazil nut!We, Peranakans love this dish very much and is a ambrosia among the Peranakan dishes...... Before the buah keluaks are cooked, it is recommended that these nuts are scrubbed and cleaned, soaked for 4-5 days. The recipe is similar to the assam pedas recipe..........great with white rice!

Brotzeit @ VivoCity Bockwurst Tafelspitz (Beef) Huhnerwurst - Spicy Chicken The yet to complete Universal Studio, in SentosaOver looking @ Sentosa, the completion of the upcoming Universal Studio is in good progress and should be completed by early 2010. We had lunch @ Brotzeit, a subsidiary of Paulaner Brauhaus........German food. I love the Hunerwurst, spicy chicken sausages with sauerkraut & mustard! I prefer alfresco dining as I had enough of the cold aircon in VivoCity....... good food, great scenery and off course a good company to keep me through the afternoon! Not forgetting a good glass of beer! The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 3:13 PM

Deep Fried Fish Slice Bee Hoon Soup Deep Fried Fish Slice I love fish slice bee hoon soup. However, there are certain fishes that I loathe because of the fishy smell and after taste.This fish soup stall in Bedok South Ave 3 hawker centre serves the best deep fried fish soup. Red snapper fish was used to cook this delicious fish soup.........The hawker centre serves the best mee rubus, soya bean milk, chicken rice and many other local delights! You can opt to add mee sua, yee mee or rice to the fish soup......... The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 3:07 PM

Sunday, December 13, 2009 R Burger @ Ion Orchard..........  Salmon Burger  Avocado, Cheese Beefburger Ume Chicken Burger The Signature R......I've read the review in the newspaper on R Burger and learnt that it was franchised by a Mediacorp actor, Adam Chen. Nothing much to rave about R Burger.......except it was sandwiched by "man tou".....which I thought it was a tad too soft to eat with the meat patties.... Hubby & kids prefer Carl's Junior than R Burger....... The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 7:39 PM

Tea Lounge @ The Regent Broiche, an array of sandwiches..... Cinnamon & plain scones, cheese stick, quiche, baked curry puff..... My platter of Xmas mince pie, mixed fruit eclair, fruit cake, cheesecake & stollen The 3 tier tea set.......refillable upon requests.....I love Fridays because its the day for me to catch up with my girl friends over a nice cozy coffee, tea, dinner or a night of pubbing in Clarke Quay..... its TGIF .........the day I had a wonderful time with Lina over 3 cups of freshly brewed coffee, scones, sandwiches and some Xmas goodies....since the festive season is around the corner.... However, we were marred by the inattentive service staff.......did not refill my coffee after 3 attempts to catch their attention.....service really sucked in the Tea Lounge.....cakes served were not fantastic either...... We had earlier wanted to try the Goodwook Park hotel's L'Expresso Lounge but due to the overwhelming responses, the cafe was full! Charges for the L'Expresso Lounge tea set is presently $39++ due to more goodies being served during this festive season...... Tea Lounge @ The Regent is priced @ $36++. Ambience here is suited for business meetings..... The Bakerwoman - Coffee Talk at 6:54 PM

Cuppinccino I first read about Kith Cafe from a local magazine, Simply Her (I think).
