Cheesy Spinach Beef Burger from Burger King

I took the bait. This was essentially a cheeseburger with a "cheesy spinach" patty. It's a little oiler than I expected and I'm thinking maybe half of it was just crust. It did add a bit of crunch to the burger. Could taste neither spinach nor cream cheese though. Actually, I couldn't tell what it was. If I was asked, which I've noted I haven't been, I'd say this should be at best worth half of what they were charging. What I was getting more from this sandwich was the smokiness from the beef, the salty cheese and the onions doing their job cutting through it all.

Eng Kee Chicken Wings, Beauty World Food Centre

Finally tried this branch of Eng Kee Chicken Wings (#04-46 Beauty World Centre, 144 Upper Bukit Timah Road). It's the same stall as what I've previously mentioned as 焱 at Redhill Food Centre. Bee hoon, eggs and otah were passable. They're edible but not great accompaniment and people do get them when they come for their fried chicken wings.

Chicken wings were tasty. Sufficiently salted to bring out the savoury flavouring on the lightly crunchy surface. Just like the last time, they're easily eaten even with chopsticks because the meat comes off pretty easily so I guess that's pretty consistent there.

Lontong with hot dog from Nusa & Tara

Breakfast at Nusa & Tara. First time getting lontong with hotdogs and I've gotta admit this was good. A salty meatiness added on that's almost as satisfying as their spiced paru. Everytime I'm here, I tell myself that I don't come back here often enough.

The banana pie from Dona Manis Cake Shop

Dropped by Dona Manis (#B1-93, Katong Shopping Centre, 865 Mountbatten Road, tel : +65 6440 7688) for a slice of their banana pie since we were in the vicinity. The shop's sequestered in the basement of the building. I've been introduced to it some years back and I guess posterity demands that I get a picture of it up.

It's pretty unique as pies go here because it's a local pie and one doesn't typically find bananas pies. Crust is buttery with coconut and bits of almond. Banana's sweet and melty beneath that crust. Definitely a gem. 

Tian Le (天乐), East Coast Road

This was at the Brunners Coffeeshop (228 East Coast Road) in the unit just next door to Meet 4 Meat. Ended up with this because Meet 4 Meat wasn't open. 😓

Anyways, pretty edible stuff. Char siew was not impressively tender in spite of the fatty layering. Chicken was not bad if unexceptional. The flavouring of their rice leans on the lighter side with hint of ginger. So it's easy to go with their chilli sauce since I'm not missing much here.

Revisiting Suju at Takashimaya

Back at Suju ( 一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九, 十, 十一, 十二, 十三, 十四, 十五, 十六, 十七, 十八, 十九). Also mostly getting a bunch of stuff we've had previously.

Like their kuro goma tofu with dashi.

And tamagoyaki.

Gindara harasu.

And tori ume shiso tempura. No slice of pumpkin today.

Lamb karashi miso yaki.

Moist.

Pork spare ribs. Deliciously tender.

First time having their kurumi dare seiro soba before - cold soba with walnut dip. That creamy walnut dip was so good. Imagine a nuanced nuttiness with a robust flavour from the nut. Pretty pricey for the serving though.
