Red bean paste and butter toast from Toast Box

Toast Box, red bean paste butter toast

Red bean paste and butter toast from Toast Box. Limited time thingy. Tasted much like how I thought it would but for one thing - that butter flavour was dominant compared to the red bean. Maybe more red bean paste would "correct the balance".

Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wrap from McD

McDonald's, Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wrap

Latest from McD. It's pretty much the same thing as their regular breakfast wrap with the hash brown inside replaced by a fried mac & cheese patty. Visually, they looked pretty similar. Couldn't tell the difference from a glance.

McDonald's, Crispy Mac ‘N Cheesy Wrap

Texturally, this was also similar to the regular breakfast wrap. The taste was where it mostly differed. This one has discernible nacho cheese flavour while the one with hash browns didn't and tasted like...it has hash brown. I'm not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it. 😬

Afternoon tea promotion luncheon meat scrambled egg sandwich from Tsui Wah (翠華)

Tsui Wah (翠華), luncheon meat scrambled eggs sandwich

We came across Tsui Wah's afternoon tea deal by chance. 40% off a bunch of selected items between 2.30-5.30pm which included this luncheon meat and scrambled egg sandwich that normally goes for $6. It's $3.60 during said tea promotion. It was delicious. I've had them once previously from delivery order but that one was with steamed bread. This one was toasted. I maintain that one would still be hard pressed to find another same sandwich at their quality.

Even more food from So Good Char Chan Tang at 100AM

So Good Char Chan Tang, 100AM

Been a while since we dropped by So Good Char Chan Tang at 100AM.

So Good Char Chan Tang, lower quarter roast duck

Ordered the lower quarter of roast duck. Edible but not great. Meat's a bit stiff and much more bony than I remember of the limited lower quarters of ducks I've had before. Wasn't worth it in this case just for the drumstick.

So Good Char Chan Tang, double boiled milk

Double boiled milk was nicer tasting than it looked. Also nicer than what I remembered of them.

So Good Char Chan Tang, hor fun

We had their hor fun with prawns previously and the taste still holds up.

So Good Char Chan Tang, warm soya bean milk

Soya bean milk...heh heh.

So Good Char Chan Tang, steamed chicken lup cheong rice

Not bad steamed rice with chicken and lup cheong. The rice was actually better tasting than the one we had at Tim Ho Wan a couple of months back.

Lee Shan (李汕), Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre

Lee Shan (李汕), bee hoon

Decent economic bee hoon from Lee Shan (#01-82 Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre, 115 Bukit Merah View). It didn't look like much but I guess it tasted better than it looked. Serviceable is the appropriate adjective here. Chilli's kinda generically sweet and spicy - didn't find myself swayed much towards the ends of the like/dislike spectrum. Luncheon meat's not great here as well but we'll have a good luncheon meat soon so stay tuned. The stall also sells radish cake but we didn't get any of those.

Refreshing the experience at Smiths Fish & Chips

Smiths Fish & Chips

Been a while since the last Smiths.

Smiths Fish & Chips, ciders

Ciders first and last.

Smiths Fish & Chips, giant yorkshire pudding caramelized onions brown gravy

This was new from their menu - or at least it was new to us; a giant Yorkshire pudding with caramelized onions and brown sauce. Not bad tasting. Onions were sweet and the sauce was savoury. I have a particular...idiosyncrasy if you would, of comparing Yorkshire puddings we have had to the ones at Lawry's. Because I feel they are a standard to be benchmarked against. Smiths' rendition is less greasy/buttery. Not bad tasting as a whole with the toppings but comparing pastry alone, Lawry's still takes the cake with it. 

Smiths Fish & Chips, lamb doner cheesy chips

Lamb doner kebab with cheesy chips. Got this because I liked the pita version from the last time. Unhealthily delicious with probably a little too much salt and loads of nice lamb-y flavour in reconstituted meat. Cheesy chips were cheesy chips and I liked those.

Smiths Fish & Chips, welsh rissole

Tried a Welsh rissole for the first time. Looked inconspicuous.

Smiths Fish & Chips, welsh rissole

I reckon it can be regarded as an English begedil. Mashed potatoes, corned beef and onions that's breaded and deep fried. Not bad.
