As I've previously mentioned, these guys scored because service runs late. Managed to snag an order via Grab shortly before midnight. I noticed the packaging for their delivery has changed....improved somewhat. I got a much larger piece of pork chop compared to the last time too.

Double downing the Double Down
Or is that doubling down the Double Down? Anyways, KFC has a limited time promotion for a 1 for 1 Mozzarella Zinger Double Down. $7.50 for 2 of those? I thought it was a good enough deal to give them a go since I've never tried any of their previous iterations.
It's obvious that their 11 secret herbs and spices are no longer important these days since the tomato basil sauce which I didn't like masked most of the flavour coming from the chicken. The fried mozzarella cheese in between the fried chicken tasted a little....unnatural. Chicken was crunchy and had a little heat. This stuff isn't doing favours for anyone's heart but at least I've tried it.

Cicheti at home
It's been a long while since we were last at Cicheti.
We ordered a small burrata. Nothing unexpected or out of this world but the vinegar, onion marmalade and pesto brought it all together.
We tried their pizza with sopressata and spicy honey. Very nice. I liked how the tomato wasn't overly tart. Loved the porcine quality in the dried meat and how the mild burn from the honey paired nicely with them and the garlic.

Super Mama noodle from Noodle Thai Thai Kitchen
This was the Super Mama noodle with jumbo river prawns from Noodle Thai Thai Kitchen with a side of their green mango salad. From the name, we were expecting the noodles to be the Mama branded instant noodles. I'm not sure they were in retrospect since the flavour didn't seem as toasty. Asked for extra peanuts in the salad like the last time we were there but there weren't any at all.
Even though we had portioned up to include additional clams and shrimps, portions were still kinda small. Looked pretty much like their picture on their menu except for the river prawns which were much smaller. But since they were only charging and addition $6 for additional 2 prawns, I shouldn't be expecting too much.
What we liked about it was that the tom yum broth was addictive in it's own tamarind-y way though.

A breakfast of bread, bacon and eggs. And fruits
Another brekkie whipped up at home like the last time and the one before. We buttered and pan fried the Gardenia Hokkaido milk bread this time. So good.

Rawon standard dulang from Mizzy's Corner Nasi Lemak
We've never tried Mizzy's Corner (2 Changi Village Road) before since it was perpetually out of the way for us down at Changi Village Hawker Centre. The stall is primarily known for their nasi lemak. Thanks to the "circuit breaker", unprecedented eateries like them have hitched up their skirts and gotten themselves onboard the online order and delivery wagon. Which was possibly the only reason why we had this opportunity.
This was their rawon standard dulang - the last word I think refers to tray. There was another premium version which featured beef rendang but I thought we didn't need it since this basic platter already featured a number of dishes we liked.
Very enjoyable. Many of the items that were included in the platter were made to go well with rice. From the sambal goreng to the shrimpy sambal belachan they provided to the rawon gravy. I thought the variety of food they included was pretty good. There was fried tempeh, paru, begedil and sambal sotong. So savoury and lemak.
