More fried chicken and pizza from Asian Food Mall at Lucky Plaza

Got some fried chicken from Jollibee and pizza from Shakey's at Asian Food Mall.

The product shot of that spinach bacon glazed pizza like many product shots out there can be construed as deliberating misleading. It looked a lot nicer than the real thing.

There was less spinach than I imagined. I think even Dr Oetker's frozen spinach pizza might have more spinach. Turkey bacon looked unnaturally rectangle and was not as sweet as what the word 'glazed' might have suggested. Pretty disappointing.

Mung bean dumpling (绿豆粽) from Jia Ji Mei Shi (佳记美食)

These local mung bean dumplings from Jia Ji Mei Shi were quite different from the Cantonese variety that's made by Imperial Treasure. I'm not even sure if they were the same type of dumpling even though they were both stuffed with mung beans and pork.

These were denser and less tender in comparison. Still pretty good eating. There's pork, lard and salted egg in them too. It's unexpectedly nice pairing with their generic sweet sauce and chilli.

More mille crepe from Lady M

Revisiting Lady M. Not as impressed this time round. That rose mille crepe has rose flavouring only on the layer of jelly on the top. The bottom tasted like the regular mille crepe so with that kind ratio, it wasn't that rose-y.

There's a limited time sakura flavour. Tasted like some berry yoghurt to me. Couldn't get what's sakura about it except for the colour. Also, this one had a sweetness that got cloying fast. In comparison with the ones we had in the previous/first visit, today was unexpectedly disappointing.

Tried the creme de la rose with tea instead of coffee today. Not a bad rose flavoured milk tea but it was a little more than a little too sweet as it compounded on the mille crepe.

A couple more desserts from Jin Yu Man Tang Dessert Shop (金玉满堂甜品)

Came by Jin Yu Man Tang for some dessert.

Not a fan of their double layered milk with coconut cream because the flavour was mostly just coconut. Through that, I also didn't think their steamed milk would be very milky even if there wasn't any coconut cream in it. Can only confirm that another time though.

This was fried custard. I know, right? The taste was kinda like a not so eggy steamed egg with the texture of custard. Not bad tasting. What marred this were the chopped walnuts that were just starting to cross over into being rancid. 

Urban Roti, Syed Alwi Road

We've seen Urban Roti (101 Syed Alwi Road, tel : +65 6209 5545) numerous times along Syed Alwi whenever we're in the area and/or if we're going to Mustafa.

Decor's pretty "industrial" looking. Possibly the only Indian restaurant in Little India with that grey concrete walls and filament bulb lighting interior. 

Started off with a samosa chaat - crushed samosa underneath the mint & tamarind chutney, curd and sev. So it's crunchy and crispy paired with sweet, sour, spicy and savoury with a hit of cumin. Not bad. 

We had some cheese and garlic naan to go with a couple of curries.

Curries like their UR Duo of Chicken Curry which featured both a tomato and a palak puree based curry which were redolent of the flavour of onions in them. Texture of both were creamy a viscous. Those chicken chunks in there were smokey...meaning they were chicken tikka.

There was also a velvety rich dal makhani infused with warm spices, cream and butter.

Had an order of egg burji - eggs stir fried in dice tomatoes, onions, some spices and chilli. These turned out to be pretty good pairing with their cheese naan.

Masala chai was pre-sweetened. It's a lot sweeter than what I normally prefer but for some reasons, it didn't bother me so much this time.

The extra large chwee kueh from Bedok Chwee Kueh

I read that Bedok Chwee Kueh upsized their chwee kuehs to double their regular sizes recently. Since we were in Chinatown Food Centre, we wanted to find out.

It's big. These were like the quarter pounder versions of chwee kueh because their previous regular size was already bigger than others and they're doubled again. $1.20 a piece and these tasted lighter than the looks suggested. 👍🏼
