Lemuel Chocolate, Star Vista

Have been curious about these guys (#01-04/05 The Star Vista, 1 Vista Exchange Green, tel : +65 8947 0863) for a bit.

Tried their flourless chocolate cake. Kinda dry but otherwise not unexpected for a flourless cake. Not something I'd look forward to coming back to also though.

This coffee bean like thing was their "tiramisu". Did not taste like tiramisu at all. In fact, I don't even remember what it tasted like except for the layer of cream that formed the shape of the "bean" and some crunchy things inside that might have been nuts? 😂

Chilled sea salt chocolate was okay tasting. It's more milky than their other chocolate drinks.

Orange hot chocolate also okay tasting. More chocolate-y than the sea salt chocolate. The impression I've gotten so far was that the cocoa goods were decent but nothing in particular had wowed.

Bukit Merah View Carrot Cake (红山景菜头粿), Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre

Hmmm...I like this (#01-37 Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre, 115 Bukit Merah View) a lot better than the neighbouring Unforgettable Carrot Cake. I liked how the chunkier pieces has that distinctive (yeasty?) taste and that there were charred/caramelized bits that gave some of the parts a slightly crusty texture and additional flavour. Nice! This was a 一点黑 option which I never even knew existed. Neither white nor black. It would be metaphorically a shade of grey. 😅

Pig's brains from HaiDiLao (海底捞)

I've overlooked ordering this for some reasons during the past few times at HaiDiLao and finally got it this time. Cooked it in water and it's good with a bit of light soya sauce and sesame oil.

Mei Di (美地), Holland Village Food Centre

The toppings for the bak chor mee at Mei Di (#01-12, Holland Village Food Centre, 1 Lorong Mambong) were pretty generous if run of the mill. Sadly, it wasn't a noticeable leap compared with Ah Fong Noodle. Noodles had a marginally better texture and that was it. Those chunks of lard totally had no crisp and tasted borderline stale.

Double bacon cheeseburger from iSteaks

I never realized that iSteaks at Star Vista has burgers until now. Anyways, this was their bacon double cheese. Got it sans sauce and Chinese cabbage (or was that lettuce?). Yeah, that's what they said was in it. It's actually not bad. I think the patty's marinated but it wasn't excessive. Meat was well done. With the onions and cheese and bacon, I gotta admit that I enjoyed it. Now I know there's something else I can get whenever the capped loin of lamb's not available. Like today. 

Fried chicken thigh set with lady's fingers Katong Laksa Holland Village Nasi Lemak

Finally got the fried chicken thigh nasi lemak from Katong Laksa Holland Village Nasi Lemak. It has the same batter as their wings but these come without bones. I asked for a portion of lady's finger and they had for some reason replaced the usual achar on the side with those. Anyways those lady's finger were good with their sambal belanchan. Notice that that's the only sambal I had gotten for today's plate. That's all that's needed for me.
